Up for sale in the Bonhams|Cars Abu Dhabi Auction Online, this is the race suit Verstappen wore to victory at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort – the 46th win of his career and the ninth of his record-breaking ten-race winning streak during the 2023 F1 season.
As an extra incentive, the overalls are signed by Verstappen himself, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. They’re estimated to fetch £60,000-£70,000.
They’re being sold to raise money for the Red Bull charity, Wings for Life, which was founded in 2004 and directs funding towards scientific research and clinical trials seeking new treatments and possible cures for spinal cord injuries.
