GP-winning Lewis Hamilton F1 car on sale!

KUALA LUMPUR: Yes, we didn’t believe it at first but it’s true and the one with bulk cash can even give it a serious thought. For the very first time, Lewis Hamilton Formula 1 car is open for public sale and it’s not just any old unit. What we have here is the 2010 McLaren Mercedes MP4-25A that came out victorious at the 2010 Turkish Grand Prix and obviously controlling the wheels was Hamilton.

Now, it won’t be any ordinary auction as rather than crossing the block casually, the McLaren Mercedes MP4-25A will be driven around Silverstone as the bids roll in. Fun isn’t it?

Thinking about the machine that powers the beast? Well, it gets a Mercedes-Benz FO 108X 2.4-litre V8 engine which will be offered in operational condition to the buyer. What’s best is that McLaren and Mercedes’ heritage department will help the lucky owner run the MP4-25A. Oh, what fun it will be, can only be imagined by us…
