Hamilton wi🦹ll return to his Mercedes W13 at Silverstone next week hoping to continue his improvement in the 2022 season but any worries of porpoising or reliability were a world away as he relaxed in his luxury road car.

Hamilton showed off his 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 on I🅷nstagram on a road trip with his dog, Roscoe.

These cars have previously sold at auction for $5.5m (£4.༒5m).

Carroll Shelby, a former winner of the 24 Hou♎rs of Le Mans, designe🌃d the Cobra 427 in 1966.

When Ham♈ilton bought his 10 years ago, he called Shelby directl🌸y for a recommendation.

Hamilton keeps his prized asset in perfect condition by buying a 🌃second, identical version which he drives!

The car’s en🦋gine weighs 2,355lbs, it has a top speed of 160mph and 360hp horsepower.

Carroll Shelby died a decade ago, and the value of these cars has r♏eportedly qua🌱drupled since.
