Hamilton's first of many Merc triumphs came in the W04, which is anticipated to sell for at least £8 million.

This is quite unique. Coming up for auction is Lewis Hamilton's first race-winning Mercedes F1 vehicle. Are you curious about the monthly loan payments?

Although the W04 from 2013 is not the most beautiful F1 vehicle ever, it is unquestionably rather important. This same vehicle, chassis number 4, was used to place Lewis on the pole and subsequently the top step of the podium at the Hungarian Grand Prix during a season in which Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel controlled the sport.

As was already established, Hamilton's stunning switch from McLaren earlier in the year resulted in his first victory for the struggling Mercedes squad. It would turn out to be his lone victory for the year, but by this point, you are all aware of what transpired after 2014.

The normally aspirated 2.4-liter V8 was only found in the W04, and the crew did an outstanding job with the V6 hybrid engine that replaced it. Even if this car didn't win a championship, the significance of what it began will ensure that it sells for a respectable sum at the official RM Sotheby's auction during the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

 

In actuality, the estimate ranges between £8 to £12.5 million. Yikes.

 

The lone Hamilton-driven Mercedes F1 car, according to reports, will be offered for sale with Tom Brady's final game-worn jersey, with an estimated price of more than £1.25 million. He was apparently exceptionally skilled at American football.

 

To be kind to Mr. Brady, we still believe that a sweaty t-shirt is preferable to an F1 car with more than 800 horsepower.
