The Ferrari F40 that was damaged in January 2025 is once again being driven in public, after footage emerged of Lando Norris behind the wheel in central London. The sighting provides a straightforward update: the specific F40 involved in the crash outside Monaco has returned to active use.
The earlier incident occurred when a friend of Norris lost traction exiting a left-hand corner and struck the guardrails. Norris was not in the car when the collision happened. At the time he said, "No [it is not back to normal]. It was when I was away. I wasn’t happy at all." He originally took delivery of the F40 in the last quarter of 2024.
The F40 is a highly collectible model, one of 1,311 produced between 1987 and 1992, and it was the first street-legal car to exceed 200mph. Public interest in the chassis has been heightened this season, with several high-profile drivers acquiring or revealing ownership of F40s.
Footage of Norris driving the car appeared shortly after he secured third place at the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring circuit. Fans reacted on social media, with one user writing, "Good to see this car on the road again, after one of his friends crashed it some time ago," and another adding, "Unbelievable taste in cars." The appearance follows a busy period for Norris both on track and off.
The sighting also arrives in the same season that Lewis Hamilton unveiled his own F40 purchase ahead of the Italian Grand Prix after selling his previous car collection. Media reports have listed several high-performance and classic cars as part of Norris’s garage, including the McLaren 765LT Spider, McLaren P1, McLaren Senna and a Porsche Carrera GT.
No technical breakdown of the repair work to this particular F40 was provided in the footage, leaving the scope of restoration unclear. Expect further attention from collectors and fans, and look for additional footage or official detail that would outline what was repaired and when. Until then, the visible return to the road is the clearest status update available.
