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

Hamilton showed off his 1966 Shelby Cobr🧸a 427 on Instagram on a road trip with his dog, Roscoe.

These cars have previously sold at auction for $5.♒5m (£4.5m).

Ca꧟rroll Shelby, a former winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, designed the Cobra 427 in 1966.

When Hamilton bought his 10 years ago, he called Shelby directly for ✱a rec🍬ommendation.

Hamil😼ton keeps his prized asset in 𝐆perfect condition by buying a second, identical version which he drives!

The c꧟ar’s engine weighs 2,355lbs, it has a top speed of 160mph 🍷and 360hp horsepower.

Carroll꧂ Shelby died a decade ago, a♒nd the value of these cars has reportedly quadrupled since.
