Lewis Hamilton stuns Italian GP arrives on $31,995 super bike

The Scuderia Ferrari driver made his way into the F1 paddock at the ‘Temple of Speed’ on a unique piece of machinery – the Ducati Panigale V4S superbike.

Dressed in Ferrari's commemorative blue colours, in tribute of Niki Lauda’s first championship win 50 years ago, one of the two championships he won with the Maranello-based outfit, Hamilton complemented his already stylish attire with the Ducati, which was liveried in the Italian national flag.

The Ducati superbike, which undoubtedly drew the attention of several individuals in the paddock, is estimated to be worth a staggering $31,995.

Hamilton has a well-documented history of loving two-wheeled machinery. Earlier, during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, he also arrived at the Monte Carlo event on a superbike.

The appearance by Hamilton, who also boasts an impressive automobile collection, came shortly after Lando Norris arrived during media day sporting an outfit that paid tribute to Italian MotoGP icon Valentino Rossi.

Lewis Hamilton’s off-track style in Monza has largely mirrored his performance on the circuit. The Ferrari driver clocked the fastest time during FP1 and was again in the top five during the second practice session.

The British driver completed a top ten hat-trick during his Italian Grand Prix weekend debut for the Maranello-based outfit with a seventh-place finish in FP3 ahead of qualifying.
