Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton was involved in a car crash on Monday night in Monaco. The F1 champ confirmed the incident and said that nobody was hurt.

The Mercedes pilot made it all clear on his Instagram page, putting an end to rumors and speculations on why he has been so quiet on social media over the last few days, saying that he has “made very light contact with a stationary vehicle”.

Besides the unfortunate road incident, Lewis also claimed a fever which led his to departure for the Brazilian GP to take place a day later than planned.

Despite Lewis not mentioning what car he was driving on Monday night,  Germany’s Bild reports that it was his one-off Pagani Zonda LH, which was made specifically at his request. The Huayra‘s predecessor has the Mercedes-AMG engine under its hood, rated at 760 HP and, in this case, connected to a manual gearbox instead of the sequential one.

Dear TeamLH, just wanted to let you know why things have been quiet on social media the past few days. I’ve not been well with a fever but I also had a road accident in Monaco on Monday night. Whilst ultimately, it is nobody’s business, there are people knowing my position that will try to take advantage of the situation and make a quick buck. NO problem. Nobody was hurt, which is the most important thing. But the car was obviously damaged and I made very light contact with a stationary vehicle. Talking with the team and my doctor, we decided together that it was best for me to rest at home and leave a day later. But i am feeling better and am currently boarding the plane to Brazil. However, I am informing you because I feel we all must take responsibility for our actions. Mistakes happen to us all but what’s important is that we learn from them and grow. Can’t wait for the weekend Brazil?? Bless Lewis
