This is your chance to own a piece of Formula One and Lewis Hamilton history.
Formula One racing is accelerating in global popularity, with thrilling on-track battles and captivating behind-the-scenes drama drawing in a fresh wave of race fans. Among all the world-class team drivers who compete each week for a spot on the podium, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton stands out as one of the most successful and favored drivers on the grid. The luxury auction professionals at RM Sotheby’s are pleased to showcase a truly remarkable piece of F1 history, the 2013 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 W04 racecar once driven by Lewis Hamilton himself. Sporting one of the F1 team’s most iconic race liveries, the silver and Petronas green racecar was the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team car driven to victory by the British seven-time Formula One Drivers’ Champion.
In addition to competing in 14 out of the 19 events during the 2013 Formula One season, Lewis drove the car to victory at the 2013 Hungarian Grand Prix. As if there wasn’t enough significance tied to the F1 racecar, it also shaped itself as a key contributor to Mercedes-AMG Petronas’ 2nd place finish in the 2013 Constructors’ Championship. The power source leading Lewis Hamilton to victory was Mercedes-AMG Petronas’ final naturally aspirated 2.4 liter V-8 Formula One engine model. Available exclusively through RM Sotheby’s Las Vegas auction event, the 2013 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 W04 driven by Lewis Hamilton is estimated to sell somewhere between $10 million and $15 million. Knowing how many dedicated Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 fans there are, we are curious to see if the selling price will exceed the original estimate.
