This is an incredibly impossible to get piece!

Offered is a framed, 2008 Lewis Hamilton championship season-worn McLaren racing suit. The frame measures 29-by-41.5 inches and displays light-to-moderate wear. Numerous sponsor patches, including Mercedes-Benz, Johnnie Walker, FedEx, Bridgestone, Mobil 1, SAP, Vodafone, Aigo, Nescafé, Schüco, Santander, Eparco, and Hugo Boss, adorn the suit. An F1 Authentics COA is present in the framed display. This is a historic collectible celebrating the early days of Hamilton's dominant F1 career.

At a Sotheby's auction in New York in 12/2023, a similar, worn suit was sold for just under €220,000 ($240,000).

It is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of one of the most talented and succesful driver in F1 history.

Hamilton's success continued in 2008 as he amassed five victories and ten podium finishes. Including the impressive British Grand Prix victory, where he won the race by over a minute from second-place Nick Heidfeld, his drive was widely acclaimed as one of Formula One's finest wet-weather drives. As the season reached its conclusion in Brazil, it became a clear two-way fight for the title between the home favourite Felipe Massa and the young Briton. Hamilton won his first title in dramatic fashion in the last race of the season, the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, overtaking Timo Glock for fifth position in the final corners of the last lap to become the then-youngest Formula One World Champion in history and to deny race-winner Massa the title by one point. This made Hamilton the first British driver to win the World Championship since Damon Hill in 1996.
