Lewis Hamilton shares full video of Ferrari F40 restoration

Lewis Hamilton has released a full YouTube video about his Ferrari F40 restoration, including photographs of the work in Maranello. He had revealed the car ahead of the Italian Grand Prix earlier this year.

The photographs give way to Hamilton pulling the cover from the completed F40 and seeing it for the first time after the restoration. In an earlier post about the reveal, he wrote that engineers and mechanics at the Maranello factory worked on the car for weeks.

Hamilton says the F40 was picked up in 1991, driven 69km and then parked in a garage; it had not been started again before the restoration. The video shows him starting the engine before the car is wheeled out for a first drive.
