Fighting the coronavirus requires money, a lot of money. In the past weeks several initiatives have been started to raise money and Formula 1 teams want to contribute as well. Some teams help with the production of ventilators for the intensive care and other teams donate items for an auction.
Overalls
At Bonhams several items will be auctioned next week. The aim is to raise money for the NHS Charities Covid-19 Urgent Appeal in the UK. The goal is to raise over 100 million pounds with different initiatives and therefore several teams have made a donation.
It will be possible to buy Lewis Hamilton's 2019 overalls at the auction. This overall was worn by last year's champion on three occasions, including during training in Monaco. There will also be an auction of Valtteri Bottas overalls, which are also worn. The same goes for an overall by Lando Norris.
There is even a more recent overalls on the head, one of Sergio Perez that he used during the test days earlier this year in Spain. The Mexican was also going to use this overalls in Australia and as an extra there is a ten minute video call with the driver.
VIP-package
Williams is also participating and offers a VIP package for two during the British Grand Prix of 2021. This includes a visit to the factory and tickets for the race, paddock access and more.
The items - although not all online yet - will be available on the Bonhams website.
