Lando Norris' $2.5 million Ferrari F40 crash footage surfaces, showcasing damage sustained on the iconic supercar in Monaco. Read the full story here.
Footage of a Ferrari F40 crash, allegedly involving a vehicle owned by Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, has surfaced online, shedding light on the damage recently noticed on the rare supercar. The incident has drawn significant attention, as fans piece together the story behind the mishap.
Lando Norris’ F40 Damaged in Monaco
In the summer of 2024, McLaren driver Lando Norris reportedly purchased a Ferrari F40 valued at over $2.5 million following a visit to a Ferrari dealership. The iconic vehicle, of which only 1,311 units were produced between 1987 and 1992, quickly became a prized addition to Norris’ collection.
In December, Norris was seen driving the Ferrari F40 in Monte Carlo, with images and videos shared online showing the car’s Monaco registration plate and the driver enjoying a festive shopping trip. However, by early January, fans noticed damage to the car’s left-rear bumper, leaving many wondering what had happened.
Crash Footage Emerges
Over the weekend, a video surfaced on social media showing an accident involving the Ferrari F40 on the mountainous roads around Monaco. In the footage, the car’s rear end loses traction while exiting a left-hand bend, spinning backwards and colliding with a barrier. The dry road conditions suggest driver error rather than external factors.
The damage from the collision aligns with the damage previously spotted on Norris’ car. Despite the impact, the Ferrari F40 remained drivable, as the driver was seen pulling over to the side of the road immediately after the incident.
Repairs and Insurance Implications
Given the rarity and value of the Ferrari F40, even minor repairs are expected to come at a high cost. If Norris chooses to address the damage through insurance, the incident could significantly impact his premiums.
While the crash has undoubtedly caused distress for the unknown driver of the car, the situation could have been far worse, particularly given the value and exclusivity of the F40.
Separate F40 Incident in the UK
In an unrelated incident, footage of another Ferrari F40 crash in the UK also surfaced online this weekend. The vehicle, reportedly in for maintenance, lost control on a wet road near a village in Hertfordshire. The car veered across the road, hit a verge, and rolled into a lamp post.
This crash caused far more extensive damage than Norris’ car, leaving the F40 in critical condition. Authorities reported that the driver was taken to the hospital, though their current condition remains unknown.
Norris’ Representatives Contacted
PlanetF1.com has reached out to Lando Norris’ representatives for comment on the incident involving his Ferrari F40. As of now, no official statement has been made regarding the crash or its aftermath.
The Ferrari F40 remains one of the most iconic supercars in automotive history, making any incidents involving the vehicle a topic of widespread interest among motorsport and car enthusiasts alike.
