Formula One reigning champion Lewis Hamilton added the most expensive Ferrari available to his extensive supercar garage after recording a convincing win over the Italian team in the season opening Grand Prix at Australia on March 15.

Hamilton welcomed the 2 million dollars Ferrari LaFerrari into his extensive supercar garage, which includes a custom Pagani Zonda, McLaren MP4-12C, Shelby Cobra and Shelby Mustang GT500.

The English ace hasn't fallen foul of his team boss, with Mercedes' team principle, Toto Wolff, telling Italian publication Corriere Dealla Sera that, for them there is no problem, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Hamilton's new hybrid hypercar is powered by a 6.3-litre V12 engine coupled with an electric motor which uses KERS technology to boost power and torque.

The LaFerrari boasts of a top speed of more than 350 kilometers-per-hour and accelerates from 0-100 kilometers-per-hour in less than 3 seconds and can hit 300 kilometer-per-hour in just 15 seconds, which puts it ahead of its rivals the Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren P1, the report added.
