WELLINGBOROUGH.- There is something so human, so fragile, so bittersweet about the race worn items of clothing from these motor racing legends, that holding them causes one to pause and hold one’s breath.

You do not need to be a petrolhead to fathom the extraordinary power these very personal items carry with them, the passion and the glory of a sport followed by millions around the world. And for the brief time it takes to sell them at auction they could be yours.

As the 2025 Formula One season nears its climax, the BUDDS Season Finale Motor Sport Timed Auction features a rare selection of memorabilia – including race-worn suits, signed helmets, car parts, and unique collectibles from F1 legends like Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Verstappen.

Andrew Moyers Head of Motorsport at BUDDS, says: “Each of these items we’ve been entrusted to sell are pieces of motorsport history with associations to the sport’s leading lights currently and over the past few decades. With sporting memorabilia reaching all time high record prices just now, this would be a good time to invest in your passion. Some of these pieces come directly from the teams involved.”
