“Ever since seeing this on YouTube d🌠riving around Monaco back in the day, it's always been a dream car to tick off the list.
“Late this afternoon this Pagani Zonda 760 LH previously owned by Lewis Hamilton had crashed in ﷽the Penmaenbach tunnel, Conwy, North Waleওs.
“Hopefully the car gets a full restora🍌tion and is back on the road in the future.
What exactly happened is ꩲto be a mystery,' he said. 'But rumours go; it acceler✱ated in the tunnel and lost control to the rear hit the wall and spun it.
“But the ♒main thing is that the o🐟wner is okay. Cars can be repaired, people's lives can't.”

It was a result of heavy partying and not much rest for a weeܫk and a half.
“I am a bit run down,” he explained at the time. “I have been non-stop and trying to fit train👍ing in at the same time and not getting a lot of sleep.
“The last two days I have slept pretty much all day. I couldn’t believe how much I slept. I slept on the flight here. I usually sleep four or fiv🦹e hours but when you are training you need more than that.”
