      And boy does the racing legend know how to spend it – splashing his cash on the best cars that could earn him the title of ultimate celebrity petrol head.
      The eco-warrior is level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles and missed out on a record-breaking eighth in the heartbreaking Abu Dhabi 2021 finale.
      But away from the track, Hamilton, 37, has an equally impressive fleet of cars worth around – wait for it – £13MILLION.
      Of course, being a driver, he’s a car fanatic and collects everything from supercars to vintage classics that he divides between two garages – one in Monaco and another in LA.
      He said previously: “I don’t know anything about wine. I don’t know a huge amount about art. But what I do know is cars, and I’m very particular about them.”
      Amusingly, so they keep their value, when Hamilton doesn’t want to drive them back home – he reportedly has a tow-truck that comes to pick them up from whatever restaurant or club he’s at. Here we take a look at just some of his extravagant collection:

      PAGANI ZONDA 760 LH
      The rarest motor in Hamilton’s possession is a £1.6m Pagani Zonda that was made entirely for him.
      The exterior and interiors are purple, and at the request of the sports star he opted for a manual gearbox instead of the usual sequential one.
      His reasons? Because he hated getting behind the wheel of it initially.
      He once said: “The Zonda is terrible to drive!
      “It’s the best-sounding car I own, but handling-wise it’s the worst.”
      That could be why in 2015 Hamilton got in an accident that caused some significant damage to the cherished motor.

      1966 SHELBY 427 COBRA
      The highest valued car in Hamilton’s collection is this stunning classic.
      Believed to be worth around £4m, it’s a rare sight – unless you’ve seen the racer cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway in LA.
      Hamilton was often spied taking his ex-missus Nicole Scherzinger for a spin in this beauty, which would have him standing out from the crowd.

      LAFERRARI
      Every car aficionado worth their weight in salt owns this £1m Ferrari – another collector’s item that rises in value as the years go by.
      Capable of reaching a top speed of 217 mph, the LaFerrari can hit 0-62 mph in just 2.4 seconds, meaning it’s the fastest car Hamilton owns.
      Footballers including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Son Heung-min also drive this frighteningly fast motor that must be just like handling a racing car.

      MERCEDES-AMG PROJECT ONE
      Lewis got his hands on a Project One last year, even though it is even supposed to be out until later in 2022.
      He was heavily involved in the production of the plug-in hybrid sports car that’s capable of hitting a top speed of 217 mph.
      Only 275 are going to be released at a cost of around £2m.
      Make that 274 now, since Hamilton has one.

      MERCEDES-AMG SLS BLACK
      He already owned a SL Black Series, so why not add the SLS, right?
      Hamilton, who clearly has a need for speed, added this supercar to his garage probably because it’s the fastest Mercedes in production.
      Powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine that produces 622bhp – the SLS can reach a top speed of 196 mph.
      It also hits 0-60 in just 3 seconds – making it the ideal car for Hamilton to get his thrills off the track with. For a price tag of £230k, it’s just what you’d expect really.

      MCLAREN P1
      Despite splitting with McLaren’s racing team, Hamilton can’t have felt too aggrieved with his former employers because in 2015 he added a £2m P1 to his extensive list of rides.
      The P1 has a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, which is twinned with an electric motor that means the supercar has a total power and torque output of 903 bhp and 980 Nm of torque.
      In real talk that means it’s fast and powerful, can hit a top of 217 mph and 0-60 mph in under 2.7 seconds.

      1967 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500
      The second classic car that’s part of his fleet, fans of the Hollywood movie Gone In 60 Seconds might recognise this motor as looking to similar to one of the Eleanor models from the film.
      Hamilton had his customised by Oklahoma shop Classic Recreations for additional cost.
      At auctions, these can fetch up to £750k, and you can bet Hamilton’s is in tip-top condition. That said, we doubt he’ll ever sell it.
      BEST OF THE REST
      When the Mercedes-Maybach 6 came out in 2016, Hamilton made sure he got his hands on the concept car.
      The 2×2 coupe is completely electric, and can run up to 200 miles before it’ll need recharging.
      Hamilton also has another Mercedes – the Maybach S600, which is a luxurious chauffeur’s car with a partition separating the front seats from the back.
      Both those motors have a combined worth of around £800k.
      And Hamilton doesn’t mind swapping four wheels for two – sometimes taking his £6,500 Honda CRF450RX Motocross Bike around the dirt tracks of California.
      Then there’s also his Maverick X3 dune buggy that would’ve set him back around £20k, that’s also electric in theme with his eco-warrior status.

      NOW here’s a good way to unwind from the pressures of the game.These footballers like to spend their downtime by relaxing with a spot of fishing.

      Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Memphis Depay, John Terry and Sergio Aguero have been known to dangle their rods into lake and sea hoping to catch a bite.
      While former England heroes Gazza and David Seaman also fancy themselves as fisherman.
      Let SunSport give you a guide to the best anglers in football.
      Cristiano Ronaldo
      Cristiano Ronaldo caught the fishing bug in his hometown of Madeira
      Ronaldo must know a thing or two about fishing coming from Madeira.
      The Portuguese city is the capital of sport fishing, where a keen fisher will look to catch marlin, wahoo and giant bluefin tuna.
      That’ll make a lovely seafood stew, for sure.

      Sergio Aguero

      Man City legend Aguero enjoyed the catch of the day on a recent fishing trip to EsquinaCredit: Instagram

      You wouldn’t have guessed that the Man City forward loves to angle.
      Back in 2014, the Argentine took up fishing when he was out injured and he still hasn’t given up his favourite pastime.
      The 33-year-old, who retired in December because of heart problems, caught a whopper on a recent trip to Esquina in the Argentinian province of Corrientes.
      David Beckham
      David Beckham caught this fancy Icelandic Salmon back in 2016
      Never one to miss out, Becks showed off his greatest catch in 2016.
      The Manchester United legend posted this image on Instagram fly fishing and catching a Icelandic Salmon.
      He’s also been known to be a fan of sea and coarse fishing.
      Memphis Depay

      When he was a young boy, playing football wasn’t his only love.
      At the age of 10 he loved joining his grandfather Keas Schensema for fishing trips in Moordrecth.
      He even managed a small catch in this throwback pic.

      Ibrahimovic, now of AC Milan, probably considers himself to be the best fisherman in the world.
      And with this pike catch, few would argue that he’s got angling skills too.
      Ibra boasts his own private fishing lake at home in Sweden, while he also has a tattoo of a koi carp on his back.
      Lee Bowyer

      The former Charlton and Leeds United hero loves a tackle off the field as much as he did on it.
      The Birmingham City boss runs his own carp fishing lake named ‘Etang de Bows’ in France, which he bought in 2014.
      Maybe that’s what’s calmed him down over the years!
      Robin Van Persie
      Van Persie once caught a shark on a family fishing trip to Turkey
      While on holiday in Turkey in 2015, the former United star took his family fishing.
      Unbelievably, his bait managed to catch a shark while he was deep sea fishing.
      He wrote on Facebook: “Unaware this was going to be our best fishing day ever!!!
      “What a catch! Nobody got hurt and of course we released the shark.”
      Tony Hibbert
      Ex-Everton full-back Hibbert is so obsessed with fishing he now makes a business out of it.
      In 2013, he bought the 33-acre Lac de Premiere, a carp fishery in the village of Villiers-en-Prayeres, northern France.
      And since retiring from the beautiful game in 2016, he’s devoted his time in running a venue welcoming fisherman from all over the world.

      Now that he’s retired, he’ll have more time on his hands for one of his favourite hobbies.
      The Chelsea legend loves carp, which is why he built a lake in the grounds of his mansion.

      JT’s close pal, Bobby Zamora, has been a huge admirer of fishing for a long time.
      The ex-QPR and West Ham striker, who is now a club ambassador at Brighton, loves a Bobby dazzler – with his biggest catch a 39lb 12oz carp.

      David Seaman

      The Arsenal and England legend might be football’s best angler, having done it for most of his life.
      Safe Hands, as he was nicknamed, was skilled at everything from fly to coarse fishing.
      Surely he’s never been left flapping by the river bank?
      Paul Gascoigne
      Gazza once fell off a jetty into a lake on a fishing tripCredit: PA:Empics Sport
      Last, but certainly not least, Gazza often went on trips with Seaman during Euro 96 on the advice of manager Terry Venables.
      But famously, Gascoigne fell off jetty into a lake near their team hotel before the Spain game in his full England team tracksuit.
      Cue fits of laughter from the former England stopper as his mate asked him to pull him out.

      Man Utd flops who were a success after leaving Old Trafford following Martial’s move to Sevilla, including Lukaku

      by

      PLAYING for Manchester United can be a heavy burden for some players, even the very best.And many find their way again after moving away from Old Trafford to the frustration of supporters.
      These former Man Utd stars flourished away from Old Trafford
      Anthony Martial, a £56million signing from Monaco, failed to hit the heights expected of him and will be hoping a move to Sevilla reignites his career.
      He will be be buoyed by these seven who did especially well after leaving the Premier League giants behind.
      From a Uruguayan legend to a Dutch star who later earned a transfer to Barcelona, here are the flops for whom life got much better after leaving Old Trafford.
      ROMELU LUKAKU
      The Belgium centre forward is definitely the one that got away.
      Often, Lukaku was deemed not good enough by supporters who felt he was overweight and cumbersome.
      After cutting a more shredded figure at Inter Milan, where a new diet and fitness regime saw the striker lose 16lbs and get into the best shape of his career, he helped the Serie A club land the title.
      That prompted Chelsea to splash £97.5m on Lukaku, although he’s yet to live up to that price tag at the Bridge.

      MEMPHIS DEPAY
      In 2015, United shelled out £25m on the Dutch star on the insistence of Louis van Gaal.
      But Depay looked lost at sea on our shores, playing 53 times and managing just seven goals.
      Two seasons later he was sold to Lyon for £20m, where he rediscovered his form.
      In 2021, after scoring 76 goals in 178 games, he joined Barcelona on a free transfer.

      After moving to Lyon, Depay has re-emerged for club and country – signing for Barcelona
      ANGEL DI MARIA
      It’s not uncommon for Argentinian stars to lose their way at Old Trafford – with Juan Sebastian Veron also struggling in Manchester.
      Di Maria was a marquee signing in 2014 for a then-British transfer record fee of £59.7m.
      In his only season, he managed just four goals in 32 games and soon fell out of favour with boss van Gaal.
      A year later he was sold to PSG for £40m, where he has scored double figures in goals in five of his six seasons, as well as been integral in four Ligue 1-winning campaigns.

      WILFRIED ZAHA
      In 2013, United moved to sign Zaha from Crystal Palace for £15m – Sir Alex Ferguson’s final acquisition for the club.
      A year later he found himself out of favour under new boss David Moyes and was loaned out to Cardiff City.
      Zaha would later say he never felt he was given a fair chance at Old Trafford.
      He was loaned to the Eagles, who eventually bought him back for £10m – and he’s gone on to become one of the Premier League’s biggest danger men.

      DALEY BLIND
      A lot of Blind’s problems at Old Trafford stemmed from where managers thought he should play.
      Was he a left-back? Should he play in a midfield holding role? Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho just couldn’t work him out.
      In 2018, the Dutch international returned to Ajax, where he has won two league titles and contributed to the club’s brilliant Champions League run in 2019… playing at centre-back.
      And at the Euros he starred for Holland.

      DIEGO FORLAN
      Forlan was a costly (at the time) £7m buy for United in 2002.
      However, in his first 13 Premier League games and five Champions League matches he was ridiculed for failing to hit the back of the net.
      United sold him to LaLiga’s Villarreal, where he was an instant hit scoring 25 league goals and winning the Spanish Golden Boot and the European Golden Shoe in his first season.
      He repeated that trick in 2009 at Atletico Madrid – scoring a sensational 32 goals in 33 games.

      Forlan found his shooting boots in LaLiga, first with Villarreal and then with Atletico Madrid
      RADAMEL FALCAO
      The Colombian striker, now 35, is plying his trade at Rayo Vallecano where he has five goals in 13 games.
      Before that, he was scoring goals at Galatasaray – 20 in 43 games.

      But at Old Trafford, on loan from Monaco, he really struggled with just four goals in 29 games, although a serious knee injury and a struggle to initially return to fitness hindered him.

      But a return to Monaco helped Falcao find his Midas touch again. He scored 70 goals in his last three seasons with the French giants before continuing his rejuvenation in his twilight years in Turkey.

      Brentford new boy Christian Eriksen’s partner Sabrina gave up career to become WAG, mum & best pal to Harry Kane’s wife

      by

      CHRISTIAN Eriksen is back in the Premier League, after signing for West Londoners Brentford.The 29-year-old playmaker hasn’t played since suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 back in June.

      But during that nearly fatal moment, his loyal love Sabrina Kvist Jensen – who leapt over the barriers to run to his side – thought it was the end.
      Peter Schmeichel said Sabrina believed her partner “had died” during the shocking Euro 2020 incident.
      The legendary goalie’s own son, Kasper Schmeichel, had to reassure mum-of-two Sabrina the Danish midfielder was still breathing after he collapsed.
      The 27-year-old, who has stood by his side for 10 years, moving around the world as his football career blossomed, was by his side when he woke in hospital.
      Sabrina sacrificed her own life in Denmark to move to London, ditching her hairdressing career to become a WAG when Christian signed for Tottenham in 2013.

      After building a life in London, including a close friendship with Harry Kane’s wife Katie Woodland, she upped sticks again to followed him to Italy when he signed for Inter Milan last year.
      The couple, who met when Sabrina was 18, are as devoted as ever and despite Christian’s huge salary of £6.5m a year, they have always shunned the wild parties in favour of quiet dinners with friends and nights out at music gigs.
      The couple have shared romantic holidays in Dubai, Tanzania and Malaysia in recent years as well as rubbing shoulders with Danish royalty.
      While other WAGS spend their days in beauty salons and shopping in designer stores, Sabrina keeps a low key existence, looking after three-year-old Alfie and his sibling, born in January this year.

      Quiet life in a £7m North London mansion 
      Born in Tommerup in Denmark, Sabrina was 18 and studying to be a hairdresser when she began dating Christian in 2012.
      When he signed for Tottenham the following year, she initially stayed in Denmark to complete her beauty course, before following him to London where she briefly worked for a clothing brand.
      Christian has admitted that adjusting to life as a premier league player in London was difficult for both of them.

      “You have to learn how to cope physically and mentally, but I can handle the pressure and the demands because I live seven days a week for my job,” he says.
      “That is very tough for my girlfriend. Of course I would like to go out in the city with her and friends, but it just doesn’t fit in with playing in England.”
      In 2016, Christian signed a new longterm contract with Spurs and splashed out on a mansion in a wealthy area in North London, where a five-bed house costs between £7m and £28m.

      Fine dining and a date with royalty
      Even before becoming parents, the couple shunned red carpets and glitzy parties for intimate meals with their closest friends, Harry Kane and Katie Woodland.
      Tottenham Striker Harry took the Danish player under his wing as soon as he joined the club and Sabrina and Katie became close friends very quickly.
      They bonded further over their pregnancies, with Katie giving birth to daughter Ivy just four months after Alfie was born, and both giving birth to a second child early this year.

      On couples’ nights out, before the couple moved to Milan last year, they choose high end London restaurants including Zuma, in Knightsbridge or Aqua Shard – where a steak costs upwards of £40.
      Sabrina and Christian also love live gigs, and were spotted singing along at a Major Lazer gig in London before the pandemic. The four friends recently got together for a Bruno Mars concert, in 2019.
      Although they swerve the limelight as much as possible, they do make exceptions for royals.
      In 2014, they met the Danish Queen Magrithe II at an official bash in their native country, posting a glamorous picture from the event.
      Chris wrote: “An absolute honour to meet the Queen of Denmark yesterday! A night to remember!”

      Holidays in Dubai and a safari in Tanzania
      The couple like to travel and are adventurous in their destinations.
      In 2017, before Sabrina fell pregnant, they took an extended break in Tanzania, where they went on a luxury safari holiday, costing around £5000 a head.
      The couple were thrilled to see elephants, rhinos and lions as well as enjoying some downtown on stunning golden beaches.
      Other pre-lockdown trips have included Dubai, where they were pictured riding a camel, and Malaysia, where they stayed in Kuala Lumpur.
      The romantic pair have also taken breaks in Rome and Amsterdam, where they visited Christian’s old Ajax haunts.

      Romantic partner born on Valentine’s day
      With a birthday on Valentine’s Day, it’s not surprising Christian likes to get a little slushy on his Instagram posts.
      Every August he posts an anniversary picture, writing in 2017: “Five years with this incredible and wonderful person.”
      In December 2017, the couple announced they were expecting their first child with a cute shot of themselves cuddling, with Chris holding the scan pic and Sabrina wearing a shirt reading “coming soon.”
      He wrote: “Mum and dad to be. #proud” with a heart emoji.
      And fatherhood has made him even more romantic.
      On February 14, 2019, he posted a picture of Sabrina and Alfie with the message: “My birthday, Valentines and any other day of the year crew.”
      On holiday last year, he posted a picture of Sabrina kissing Alfie with the words: “Not enough love for these 2!”
      In 2021, Eriksen announced the arrival of baby number two – although the tot has never been publicly named.
      Sharing a picture of himself with Sabrina, Alfie and the newborn, he wrote: “Family of four.”

      Rocked by fake ‘scandal’
      The path of this true love was running smoothly until 2019, when false cheating rumours put a bump in the road.
      The couple were forced to rubbish online rumours that Sabrina had cheated on him with married team-mate Jan Vertonghen.
      The original tweet spreading the fake news read: “Christian Eriksen’s wife has reportedly been caught having an affair with his team-mate Jan Vertonghen.”
      But Christian stood by his partner, answering with a simple “Bulls***”.

      The Tweet also claimed the Spurs squad were involved in a bust-up – with Harry Kane involved – attaching pictures of Jan Vertonghen sporting a black eye.
      But Jan replied with a series of emojis, including a heart next to Christian’s Twitter handle.
      The Sun revealed that the injury was instead from an ‘accidental’ training ground collision with Eriksen earlier this season.
      The vicious gossip would test any relationship but Christian stuck by his girlfriend as steadfastly as she has always stuck by him.

      In the terrifying moment, when she thought she had lost him, Sabrina’s world looked like it was crumbling.
      But now, back in the Premier League, their future looks far more rosy.

      Liverpool transfer target Luis Diaz was discovered by Colombia legend Carlos Valderrama and went on to star at Porto

      by

      COLOMBIAN forward Luis Diaz looks set to a move to Premier League, in what has been a remarkable journey to the top.The 25-year-old Porto star was coveted by Tottenham in the past year, but now appears to be destined for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in a mammoth £50million deal.

      As a kid, Diaz grew up in the small village of Barrancas in the Wayuu tribe of the indigenous people of Colombia.
      The ethnic group mostly live in the arid Guajira Peninsula close to the border with Venezuela, on the Caribbean coast.
      His opportunity to break out of his humble surroundings came at the 2015 Copa Americana de Pueblos Indígenas, a South American football tournament for indigenous people.
      There, he impressed World Cup legend Carlos Valderrama and went on trial at first division Atletico Junior before he was immediately sent to farm team Barranquilla FC.
      However, he had to be placed on a special diet to gain weight after suffering with malnutrition.
      But it didn’t stop Diaz from becoming a superstar at Porto, as well as top scorer at last year’s Copa America along with Lionel Messi.
      And recently, he became a father to a baby daughter with love of his life, Gera.
      Modest origins
      As a kid, Diaz would watch trains carrying coal zoom past his village gathered from the pits of Cerrejon and bound for Europe.
      It gave him hope and a dream to escape his modest origins for a different kind of life.
      He was one of 380,000 of the Wayuu people, the largest indigenous ethnic group in Colombia who populate the La Guajira region.
      Kicking a football about was his escape from reality.
      But, growing up in the Wayuu way of life had its pitfalls for an aspiring footballer.

      As fate would have it
      At the age of 17, Diaz appeared at a football tournament that hoped to find the next big thing from a pool of indigenous talent.
      The raw winger, a scrawny skinny teen at point nicknamed ‘Lucho’, was a breakout star – drawing praise from iconic Carlos Valderrama, who was in attendance.
      His weight, though, was a cause for concern.
      Figures from 2008-2016 showed that children of the Wayuu tribe have been neglected by the Colombian government through the years, with around 4,700 dying of malnutrition during that period.
      His coach for the tournament, the un-related John ‘Pocillo’ Diaz revealed his fears for the youngster.
      “For a moment, we thought it would be very difficult for him to perform because ‘Lucho’ seemed to have malnutrition problems,” he told the BBC.
      “He was very skinny and lost the duels with other players. But despite that, he managed to stand out among 400 candidates and make the 26-man squad.”
      Luis Diaz was instrumental in getting his country to the final of the competition in Chile, scoring two goals along the way, but suffered disappointment in the final when they were beaten 1-0 by Paraguay.
      Still, there was no chance he would be returning to his former life in Barrancas now.

      Chance to impress
      A trial at Atletico Junior saw him farmed out to second division Colombian team Barranquilla FC.
      He drew comparisons to his idol Ronaldinho thanks to his quick feet and trickery on the pitch.
      Luis was also incredibly likeable because of his humility and determination to get every ounce out of his ability.
      After just one season with Barranquilla, Atletico Junior welcomed him to their fold and he became a regular starter in 2018 – just three years after he was discovered.
      He scored 16 goals in his second campaign for the club, winning the country’s first division twice.
      In March 2019, Diaz made his international debut for his country as his rapid ascension in the game knew no bounds.
      Within months, he would finally achieve his dream and move to Europe.

      Porto
      With a reputation of developing Colombian stars, including James Rodriguez, Radamel Falcao, Fredy Guarin and Jackson Martinez, Porto seemed the natural fit for Diaz after they registered their interest in the exciting player.
      So, he turned down moves to Cardiff City and Russian side Zenit St Petersburg to move to Portugal.
      He hit the ground running on the left flank, scoring 14 times in the 2019-20 season and 11 goals the season after.
      And he has continued to grow on the biggest occasion.
      At last year’s Copa America he drew plaudits for his swashbuckling displays as Colombia finished third.
      A spectacular overhead kick against Brazil, along with goals against Peru and Argentina saw him tie for the Golden Boot with the great Lionel Messi.
      Europe took note.
      Personal growth
      Diaz’s remarkable success story on the pitch has been coupled with joy in his personal life.
      He has been supported by girlfriend Gera Ponce, 22, as he became one of European football’s most desired stars.

      To top it off, he became a daddy for the first time – welcoming a baby daughter last month.
      Seemingly, Merseyside is Diaz’s next destination on his voyage.
      This time, he won’t be making it alone. More

      She also loves swimming in the sea, riding in private yachts, and shares her glam life to over 20,000 followers on Instagram.

      It’s not known exactly when she began dating Guimaraes, but Ana moved to France shortly after Bruno signed for Lyon from Athletico Paranaense.
      She has since settled in to life in Europe, enjoying breaks away and embracing snow and ski trips.
      But it’s in a bikini where she clearly feels the most comfortable.
      Glam holidays
      Ana loves to travel with Guimaraes and the pair live a jet-set lifestyle during preseason.
      Last summer they visited Cassis in South France together, and hired a boat.
      While, during the winter break they went to Courchevel – one of the world’s glam ski resorts.
      Guimaraes certainly felt loved up, posting an image in a cable car with Ana.
      He captioned the snap: “Great weekend with my life!! I love you my girl.”
