The 2013 Mercedes-AMG Petronas W04 F1 race car driven by Lewis Hamilton broke the auction record over the weekend,It was sold for an astonishing US$18.815 million, equivalent to RMB 135 million.After the car was sold, it once again set a new auction record for an F1 car and became the most expensive F1 car in the 21st century.
Previously, the record was held by the Ferrari F2003GAF1 race car driven by Schumacher.
Official said:Hamilton once drove this car and won 14 out of 19 races in the 2013 F1 race.Victory was achieved at the Hungarian Grand Prix that year.
This shows how valuable this F1 car is.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why this F1 car can sell for such a high price is because it retains the original 2.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine and is fully functional.
It will be difficult for subsequent hybrid racing cars to surpass the value of this car in the hearts of fans.
