Lewis Hamilton crashed his Pagani Zonda 760lh in Monaco in 2015 after he lost control of his supercar as a result of heavy partying.
Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton crashed his $11.3million supercar in Monaco in 2015 ahead of the Brazillian GP. Hamilton had bought the Pagani Zonda 760lh for $1.6mn and sold it for $11.3mn at the end of 2021.
However, in 2018, the Mercedes star told Times that the Zonda wasn’t exactly the best car. “The Zonda is terrible to drive,” he said. “It’s the best-sounding car I own, but handling-wise it’s the worst.”
His crash in Monaco in 2015 created a lot of headlines but the Briton silenced the media saying that it is nobody’s business.
After the crash, Hamilton turned up to the 2015 Brazillian GP a day later. He had taken some time off to recover. He took to Instagram and revealed that the crash was a result of ‘heavy partying.

The Briton said, “It was a result of heavy partying and not much rest for 10 days. I am a bit run down. When I got back to the UK, I was trying to organize my Mum’s 60th birthday. The party turned out great but by the end of it, I was exhausted. I had been busy for two solid weeks and I basically collapsed.”
