Just a month before he officially started work as a Ferrari driver, posing with a black suit and an F40 outside Enzo Ferrari's house, the seven time world champion actually said he had become bored with fast road cars.
The last car I bought was the AMG One,
the 40-year-old told Auto Motor und Sport. "But that was also my last supercar for the time being. I don't have much desire to buy any more at the moment.
I prefer to invest my money in art these days. I'm constantly discovering new artists, especially great black artists.
When asked why else he had gone off sports cars, Hamilton explained: "Most modern ones look kind of the same. I feel like something's missing.
I prefer the old classics, also in terms of sound and emotion.
The first F40s rolled off the Maranello production line at the end of the 80s - and it's that iconic Ferrari that the Briton has his eye on for his next project.
One of the things I really want to do is design a Ferrari,
he now says. "I want to design an F44.
The basis is an F40, with a real manual transmission. I'll be working on that over the next few years.
