Danica Patrick is the first female racer to ever win an Indy car race. She’s solidified herself in the record books and the history books, and when she isn’t burning rubber on the track, she’s burning rubber in her Lamborghini Gallardo.
And we weren’t kidding when we said burning rubber: Patrick was apparently clocked doing fifty-seven miles per hour in a forty miles per hour zone. In a hilarious twist, Patrick was sentenced to traffic school, where hopefully she learns how to drive a little better. Still, it’s quite a nice car.
Lewis Hamilton's Rare Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton has one up on Schumacher. While Schumacher has one of 38 Ferrari FXXs, Hamilton has what is currently an even rarer car, though that will quickly change. The Mercedes-AMG Project One will be limited to 275 units, and driver Lewis Hamilton has the very first one.
The car's price tag is an estimated $2.7 million, though, like Schumacher, Hamilton probably got his for free. It was said in Sunday Times Driving that the vehicle has a hybrid engine capable of 1,020 horsepower, which is good enough for any kind of top speed. How did they get all those horses in there?
This Famous Driver Enjoys the Pickup of the Everyman
As he exhibited on both the NASCAR track and as a Formula drift racer, Vaugh Gittin Jr. has plenty of skills to show off. The oval is no problem for him, and he's able to turn any car sideways. But when he's on the road among others – who might not like going above seventy MPH – he has an everyday Ford F-150 truck.
But, even though Gittin loves driving his 2004 F-150, he also has a custom-made version, which he uses when he does want to get back to his drifting roots.
This Gloomy Car is Always a Party
Tony Stewart is another name you might recognize from NASCAR even if you aren't a big fan of the sport. He's one of the more controversial drivers even after retiring, especially since his choice of commuting vehicle is a Cadillac Hearse.
Yes, you read that right. It's a Hearse. The car coffins ride in. But, odd choice aside, Stewart has done his best to adapt this morbid ride for the living, with a television, couches, and a fully-stocked liquor cabinet. You thankfully don't have to be wearing black to take this ride.
This Champ Has a Beautiful Ferrari of His Own
Kimi Raikkonen is nicknamed “Iceman,” and it's because he has cool nerves even when he's taking on the hardest turns in Formula One. He won the 2007 Formula One World Championship during his first year racing for Scuderia Ferrari, and he also finished second in the F1 WC in 2003 and 2005. He's no longer with Ferrari, but he has a car to call his own from the famous Italian manufacturer.
His Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the car this cool cucumber uses to hit the roads. It's capable of 769 horsepower, which means there's plenty of force to handle.
