Max Verstappen’s 2023 Miami Grand Prix Race Suit Up for Auction
For enthusiasts of Formula 1 memorabilia, the race suit worn by Max Verstappen during the 2023 Miami Grand Prix is currently available for bidding. This signed suit, which may hold the lingering aromas of victory—from the combined scents of sweat and champagne—will be auctioned by F1 Authentics, with proceeds supporting the charitable arm of Red Bull Racing, Wings for Life.
Wings for Life is a prominent non-profit research foundation co-founded by motocross champion Heinz Kinigadner and the late Red Bull founder, Dietrich Mateschitz. The organization is dedicated to discovering effective treatments and potential cures for spinal cord injuries.
Christian Horner, the team principal of Red Bull Racing, expressed pride in this initiative, stating, “We’re happy to be supporting our partner charity, Wings for Life, with this F1 Authentics auction of Max’s race suit from his Miami GP race win in 2023. The research that Wings for Life funds is crucial to finding a cure for spinal cord injury and so we are proud that 100% of proceeds from this auction will go directly to that cause.”
Echoing these sentiments, Andrew Wagner, CEO of Wings for Life USA, thanked Verstappen for his significant contribution, emphasizing that he is a hero both on and off the track. “Thank you, Max, for making a difference and for being a true champion,” Wagner stated.
This race suit holds particular significance, as it was donned by Verstappen shortly after he secured his second world championship title, beginning a record-setting season. The year 2023 marked an unprecedented achievement for a Formula 1 driver, with Verstappen triumphing in 19 out of 22 races, culminating in his third world championship.
Fans and collectors can place their bids for the Max Verstappen 2023 Signed Miami GP Race Used Suit here at f1authentics.com. The auction is set to remain open until May 6, 2025.
