Lewis Hamilton is currently embroiled in a $4.6 million legal battle with an Italian property developer.
According to The Sun the three-time world champion ordered a luxury villa to be built in Grenada, where his father's family emigrated from. The lavish property was said to include a custom recording studio, gym and private jetty.
However,Hamilton pulled out of the deal following his split from Nicole Scherzinger, prompting Italian developer Bernardo Bertucci to sue him.
"I really trusted him," said Bertucci. "One day when the villa was half built I received an email from him saying that he didn't want to go ahead."
"I am pretty sure he knows he didn't behave correctly with me."
The Sun said Hamilton initially won the case in the Grenada Supreme Court, but Bertucci is now appealing the decision.
"I didn't want to take legal action but it is very difficult to sell a personalised villa like this," he added.
A spokesman for the Mercedes driver declined to comment.
