Your chance to own signed memorabilia from F1 champions!

4 min read

As Formula 1's twist-packed 2025 title fight heads for its climax, you can get your hands on unique memorabilia from both the current season's protagonists and F1 legends in BUDDS' (formerly Graham Budd Auctions) Season Finale Motorsport Timed Auction - which is under way now.

Plus, for the first time ever, BUDDS is offering £250 off to one lucky first-time bid-winner, so now is an ideal time to get bidding!

Here's our pick of five key items worth a look.

Race-worn Max Verstappen 2025 racesuit

Even if Max Verstappen doesn't pull off a last-gasp charge to the title, his 2025 performances in a Red Bull that was no longer a dominant package make this one of the greatest seasons of his incredible F1 career.

He used this particular racesuit in the Australian, Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix at the start of the season, which means it's the genuine race kit he wore to the podium in both Melbourne and Jeddah.

Proceeds from this sale go to the Kids in Mind charity that provides specialised support for children experiencing trauma.

Signed Lewis Hamilton Ferrari 2025 visor

Has any other F1 driver move captured the imagination as much as Lewis Hamilton quitting Mercedes for a late-career fairytale move to Ferrari? Two F1 icons finally coming together after years of rumours but little realistic expectation that it would ever actually happen.

Though year one of the Hamilton-Ferrari relationship has had its stumbles, it also featured that unforgettable sprint win in China in only their second race weekend together.

This personally hand-signed visor was used on Lewis's helmet during the season, and is one of the first chances to obtain genuine Hamilton memorabilia from his Ferrari era.

Ayrton Senna 1993 signed Goodyear podium cap

Ayrton Senna's final full F1 season was one of his greatest. With the Williams-Renaults of Alain Prost and Damon Hill by far the fastest cars in the field in a straight fight, Senna had to dig very deep in the underpowered McLaren-Ford to take them on.

Incredibly he still won five grands prix - including his epic triumph in the wet-dry Donington Park race - and led the championship for much of the first half of the season. He did all that while only on a race-by-race contract with McLaren because he had become so disillusioned with aspects of F1 and the team's prospects over the previous year that he was unwilling to fully commit to the season.

These Goodyear caps were given to all podium finishers that season, which means Senna got seven of them. And he signed this one, making it a glorious memento of a year that was tragically his last full F1 season but also one of his most impressive - even though he seriously considered not even racing in it at all.

Michael Schumacher 2012 signed used race gloves

Michael Schumacher's surprise F1 comeback was one of the biggest stories of the early 2010s, all the more so as it finally brought him together with Mercedes in F1 almost two decades after his pivotal stint in its sportscar junior programme.

While it may not have produced the glory of his 'first' F1 stint, Schumacher playing a part in laying the foundations of the Mercedes programme that dominated most of the decade was an apt postscript to his career.

And it had its high points too, especially in his final season in 2012 - when Schumacher topped qualifying in Monaco and secured his 155th and last F1 podium in Valencia.

These race-worn and signed Schumacher gloves are a unique souvenir from the career of a legend who's still in the F1 paddock's thoughts all the time.

Pierre Gasly Imola 2025 signed used race helmet

It's been a tough 2025 F1 season for Alpine as it puts its focus on trying to make a big leap forward under the 2026 rules with its switch to Mercedes engines.

But it's in underdog situations that many drivers really show their class, and given the quality of his performances in the midfield this year it's no surprise Alpine has made sure it's tied Pierre Gasly down for the new era when both it and he expect to be significantly more competitive.

Gasly used this helmet for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in May, when he got the Alpine into Q3 and started 10th. It had a unique one-off design for the Imola weekend, and will be personally hand-signed by Gasly with a dedicated message for the winning bidder.
