Icons of F1: online auction of rare collectibles to start on 1 March

A new “Icons of F1” online auction will begin on 1 March featuring some extremely rare Formula 1 collectables and more than 50 items celebrating 15 world champions.

Organised by F1 Authentics, the official online F1 memorabilia store, the auction includes a pair of signed Ferrari race boots from seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher; a 1994 replica of three-time world champion Ayrton Senna’s Williams race suit; a trophy belonging to two-time world champion Jim Clark; as well as race-used bodywork and vintage photographs signed by a selection of F1 legends from over the decades. 

Philip Danglidis, commercial director at The Memento Group, operator of F1 Authentics, said: “This is one of our most prestigious and exciting auctions to date on F1 Authentics, with some of the rarest pieces of F1 memorabilia you’ll come across.

“We’re delighted to be auctioning this selection, offering fans of Formula 1 the chance to own race-worn racewear, helmets, bodywork and more from the sport’s greatest legends.

“Icons of F1 is one of many large-scale auctions we have planned for 2021, and we can’t wait to share what’s in store.”

Michael Schumacher’s Benetton steering wheel from his first race victory at the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix will also be up for auction.

The Icons of F1 auction runs from 1 March, with new items added daily, and will continue throughout the month. See more details at f1authentics.com
