Lewis Hamilton has revealed what he does with all of his F1 trophies after becoming the first driver to achieve 200 podiums at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Hamilton finished third at the Hungaroring behind the McLaren pair of Lando Norris and race winner Oscar Piastri.
It wasn’t the easiest ride for the seven-time world champion, however, as he was involved in a collision with Max Verstappen late in the race that was eventually deemed as a racing incident by the FIA stewards.
After achieving his 104th win at the British Grand Prix – ending a victory drought that had lasted since November 2021 – Hamilton picked up his 200th podium in Budapest.
He is comfortably ahead of second-placed Michael Schumacher, who had 155 podium finishes, in the record books, with Sebastian Vettel third on 122.
In 2020, Hamilton revealed that he planned to open a museum for his trophies and championships when he decides to retire from F1.
He added that, at the time, he only had two trophies at home – one from GQ magazine and another from an FIA prize ceremony.
After the Hungarian Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion was asked what he does with the other trophies – and he had a brilliant answer.
He said: “I’m renting a storage place, and I now pretty much have all the storage in this company. I might as well just buy the company!”
