Now that Lewis Hamilton has secured the Formula One championship, supercar fans around the world are asking when he’ll get his hands on that rare McLaren F1 LM. The incredibly valuable supercar – initially reported at $4 million but now apparently worth closer to 8 – was promised to the budding young driver if he won the title. However, the condition was that he win both the drivers title and, together with team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, lock up the constructors’ title for the team, as well. Although he won the drivers’ championship, the constructors’ crown went to arch-rivals Ferrari, but since McLaren chief Ron Dennis is such a good sport, he’s renegotiated the terms.
If Hamilton manages to repeat his title victory with a hat-trick – that is, take another two championships – he’ll get his hands on the bright orange supercar. That’s quite a challenge, but Dennis called it a “small price to pay for three world championships.” Indeed, but by then McLaren will have a whole slew of supercars on the market for Lewis to choose from. In the meantime, he’d better keep his head down and focus on the prize.

Chances are that even if you’ve been lucky enough not to need to use that phrase, you know someone who has. Well here’s an interesting twist, instead of the son telling the father he’s cracked up the car, the father might be making that sheepish call to his son this morning. Anthony Hamilton, Formula 1 superstar Lewis Hamilton’s dad, has taken someone’s Porsche Carrera GT through a hedge just a couple of hundred meters from the family home in the village of Tewin, just north of London.

Reigning Formula 1 Champion, Lewis Hamilton, apparently jumped right on the McLaren jet straight from his dominating victory in Monaco, and is hanging out in Los Angeles for a while.
And if you’re the best of the best in Formula 1 and in Los Angeles, you’re certainly can’t go hit up Avis to rent a Ford Focus. Well Claus Ettensberger, owner of the So. Cal. tuning shop CEC, to the rescue. Ettensberger was kind enough to provide Lewis Hamilton with a fully-kitted Techart Porsche 997 911 during his stay in L.A.
