A Shocking Monaco spin: Lando Norris’s Ferrari F40 takes a hit
The video is making its rounds on the internet. It shows the Ferrari in red gliding around a curve, before losing control. The car spun around nearly 360 degrees and eventually came to a halt next to a metal barrier. The damage? Any car enthusiast would be horrified by a visibly damaged bumper and a scratched Kevlar-bodywork.
Amazingly, the car was still drivable after the crash—a testament to Ferrari’s engineering. Norris is not believed to have been driving, but the identity and location of the driver remain a mystery. Norris purchased the legendary Ferrari last year for an eye-watering £2 million, celebrating his first Grand Prix win in Miami. It’s a constant in his collection and has been seen on casual outings.
Ferrari F40, the iconic supercar that will stand the test of time
For car lovers, the Ferrari F40 is more than just a car—it’s a masterpiece. The Ferrari F40 was first unveiled to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary in 1987. It is now one of the most desired supercars on the planet. It is powered by a twin turbocharged 2.9 litre V8 engine that produces 471 horses and provides a thrilling driving experience.
The F40 is not forgiving. Its ’80s-era turbo technology means drivers can experience an abrupt surge of power—a feature that has caught out even the most seasoned enthusiasts. Each F40 is a rare piece of automotive history, with only 1,315 units ever made.
It’s not the first time that a high performance car has been in the news for the wrong reasons. Last month, West Ham’s Michail Antonia was involved in an accident in Essex where firefighters spent 45 minutes trying to free him from the wreckage of his Ferrari. And in Austria, a £6 million crash involving multiple luxury cars, including Ferraris and a McLaren, left car lovers across the globe shaking their heads.
Luckily, no one was hurt in those incidents—or in Norris’s recent scrape. These moments show the delicate balance between speed and control.
What next for Lando Norris with his damaged Ferrari F40
Norris’ career will not be tarnished by this accident, but he may think twice before driving his Ferrari. It’s possible that the car is headed to a specialised shop for it to be restored back to showroom condition. The F40 will be welcomed back to showroom condition by fans.
At the end of the day, incidents like these remind us that even the most experienced drivers—and the most iconic cars—can face unexpected moments. Norris’ Ferrari is out of commission for now, but the car remains a symbol of style, speed and even the odd spin.
