The car that Lewis Hamilton tore around Japanese roads in 2022 subsequently disappeared. Now it has been found again. And at the last minute.
The Nissan Skyline that Lewis Hamilton had smoking heavily when Formula 1 came to Japan in 2022 mysteriously disappeared not long after.

However, the rental company, which owns the car, and was quite furious with Lewis Hamilton after his ride in the car, says that some parts are still missing.
It is unknown exactly what is missing from the car. But Omoshiro, as the company is called, says the car 'will not be hitting the roads for a while'.

A good number of them have been reported stolen. But it is not always that the rightful owners get help from the police. Not even if the cars reappear. Read more about it here .
