Despite his teammate’s win at the Dutch GP, Oscar Piastri ended up off the podium. At first glance, the Dutch Grand Prix was a positive weekend for McLaren. The British team had a pace advantage over the grid the entire weekend, and Lando Norris took the win by an impressive 22.8 seconds. However, on the other side of the garage, Piastri admitted it was a ‘painful afternoon’.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.
