Seven-times world champion Hamilton, now at Mercedes, is Formula One's most successful driver of all time with a record 100 pole positions and 98 wins. "It's the first time a Lewis Hamilton race winner has ever been publicly offered." "If someone was willing to pay over a million quid (pounds) for Kanye West's trainers, I think there's someone out there for a Lewis Hamilton Formula One car. A 2002 Ferrari F1 car raced by Schumacher was sold for $6.65 million in Abu Dhabi in 2019.
