After a less than promising start to 2026, it would have taken a very brave person to predict a Max Verstappen win, let alone at Singapore this season on a track where he had never won before. His Sprint and Race wins following his Sepang masterclass suggest that the Red Bull is now competing with the Ferrari and Mercedes cars as well as the McLarens. Whilst the title appears to be heading to Kimi at Mercedes, possibly by the time the chequered flag drops in Austin, the runner up position is now a four way fight as Russell’s early promise once again evaporated. 

We have some superb new pieces in stock this week from the private collection that was previously on loan to a Museum over the last few years. These include a very rare 1978 race used Tyrrell steering wheel from the career of the late Didier Pironi, an official replica signed and presentation cased Bell helmet from Jacques Villenueve’s 1997 World Championship season and a replica of Mika Hakkinen’s 1992 Team Lotus helmet painted on an original Arai GP3 with a signed visor.

Race used parts from the career of the great Michael Schumacher are highly prized and to this end we have a wonderful carbon exhaust shield from his 2010 Mercedes GP car hand signed by Michael and team mate Nico Rosberg with authentication from the team. Unrepeatable.  

A genuine McLaren promotional Sparco racesuit used and worn by Mika Hakkinen in 2001 will grace any serious collection, whilst we have genuine used racesuits from Nick Heidfeld, Kazuki Nakajima, Narain Karthikeyan and Jacques Villeneuve recently added to our stock. 

Rear wing ends plates from Red Bull (with team LOA) and Renault are also newly arrived. 

With a break in the race calendar this weekend, please have a look at our new items as we have items at every budget level. 

Thanks,

The post 🇸🇬 Singapore Class 🇺🇸 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

The Bahrain GP held at Sepang saw the safety car end up mid pack during the formation lap and left the fans rather bemused as the FiA then installed a software ‘patch’ to the cars to enable them to run is such conditions. The delayed start produced some excellent moments but the whole thing seems very artificial and the full wet tyre appears to be an option the FiA won’t ever adopt. 

Singapore will present different challenges being a street circuit with on track action at night. Valtteri Bottas has cycled between the two venues which is very impressive!

New into stock at MM we have some additional Gordon Murray signed McLaren F1 items as well as the first of the former museum collection that will be ‘dropped’ over the next few weeks. These include the post race interview table frontage from the 1996 Argentine GP won by Damon Hill – totally unique, as well as Alex Wurz’ custom Puma race boots from Williams. 

A 1:8 scale Amalgam model of Sebastian Vettel’s 2011 Red Bull RB7 from the Japanese GP is a wonderful piece at a great price, whilst we have genuine signed caps from many of the leading drivers on the grid including Kimi, George, Oscar and Lewis.

Please keep an eye on the site as we showcase additional items over the next weeks!

Thank You,

The post 🇸🇬 The Humidity Trail 🇸🇬 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

After the somewhat predictable race at the new Madrid circuit and some of the normal chaos which ensues at Baku, F1 heads to the wonderful circuit at the Sepang circuit hosting the Bahrain GP, the move brought about by the political unrest in the Middle East.

Will Mercedes head off into the distance again this weekend, maybe Ferrari could make headway or indeed Max will be fighting as usual, can McLaren bounce back?

Our Newsletter this week features a variety of items from our much and varied inventory. One of the highlights being the 1/10 Amalgam model of the Bloodhound used for the World Land Speed Challenge, a beautiful and very collectible item.

Thank You,

The post 🇧🇭 Bahrain meets Malaysia 🇲🇾 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

This weekend’s Azerbaijan GP returns to the more than exciting Baku circuit, far removed from the somewhat boring recent Spanish GP.

Baku is where the much maligned Lance Stroll achieved his first podium placing driving for Williams to a third place finish, he has in fact scored two more podium places since that memorable afternoon.

No doubt the flying Mercedes will be expecting another victory, George or Kimi?

Do we believe all the rumours emanating from Ferrari, is the likeable Fred Vasseur feeling the pain from an ex World Champion and heading for the Maranello exit door?

Can McLaren get back to the top of the podium again this weekend, no doubt Oscar Piastri will want to forget his 2025 Baku weekend.

Here at MM, we have a wide and varied selection of items in our inventory this week, so it’s always worth taking a look. We also have some exciting and interesting new pieces coming our way soon, so keep an eye out!

Thanks,

The post 🇦🇿 Back to Baku 🇦🇿 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

Every September the great and the good from the Motorsport World descend on Goodwood to celebrate another Revival Festival overseen by the Duke of Richmond an aficionado of the Automobile World.

The actual Race Circuit at Goodwood remains much the same as it has done for many years, in fact your writer was present at Goodwood when Sir Stirling Moss had his terrible accident whilst going through St Mary’s corner during the Glover Trophy race in 1962 an afternoon never to be forgotten by myself and thousands of others.

One of the items that we have found in our inventory is an original pencil drawing by Nick Faure of Sir Stirling at the wheel of the Lotus in which he had his terrible accident, Sir Stirling actually signed the drawing.

Another collectible gem that we are offering is a full set of 15 hand signed covers including such luminaries Fangio, Brabham and Stewart

As always we invite you to take a look through our much and varied inventory here at Motorsport Memorabilia.

We wish everybody attending Goodwood over the weekend plenty of Sussex Sun!

Thanks,

The post 🏁 Revival Weekend 🏁 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

After a memorable and eventful Italian Grand Prix that saw Kimi Antonelli win from 19th on the grid, the teams head straight to the new Madring circuit near Madrid for the inaugural race there.

Whilst the Mercedes will no doubt be strong, we will see if the absence of historic data levels the field.

20 years ago, the Spanish GP was held at Barcelona and we have a multiple signed programme from the event including Michael Schumacher. Michael was celebrated at the Monza weekend and we have available a tool room replica of his 1991 Benetton steering wheel, a framed pair of OMP replica Ferrari gloves with a display plaque signed by Michael and a race used F2003GA valve presented in a carbon Ferrari box with coa and a Ferrari watch. 

The Spanish driver Pedro de la Rosa is now a consultant at Aston Martin but from his F1 career we offer a rest used race suit from the pre season session at Barcelona in 2000

Please have a good browse through the website as we have some wonderful items to suit all budgets

Thanks,

Tim

The post 🇪🇸 The Madring! 🇪🇸 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

Monza, a gladiatorial circuit with a rich history and the scene of triumph and tragedy over the years. 

Will the new Italian hero Kimi Antonelli extend his championship lead despite an engine penalty? Will McLaren’s resurgent form continue? 

We have a selection of caps signed by the title challlengers : Kimi, George, Lewis as well as Sainz and Piastri 

New into stock we offer a race used OMP balaclava from the archive of a Williams team member, signed by Mansell, Hill and Coulthard. 

Coming soon to MM, we will have a superb selection of racesuits, helmets and fantastic pieces that were previously exhibits at a Scottish Museum. 

Please have a browse through our site as we have items to suit every budget!

The post 🇮🇹 To the Temple of Speed… 🇮🇹 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

After an eventful weekend at Zandvoort, it appears that McLaren have closed the gap to Mercedes and in the process leapfrogged Ferrari. With back to back wins, momentum is with Lando Norris. Can he catch Kimi Antonelli or will Ferrari pull the stops out in Monza? Only time will tell. 

Meantime we have some superb Ferrari pieces for the collector including signed full scale replica helmets of Barrichello and Capelli on correct Arai helmets, replica OMP Michael Schumacher gloves framed with a hand signed plaque, a Schedoni leather trimmed F1 piston sleeve hand signed by Nigel Mansell, a choice of two caps hand signed by Lewis Hamilton and a F40 plate used by the late Jean Pierre Jabouille at LeMans for the 20th anniversary gathering 

A personal invitation to Gestione sportiva from Piero Ferrari that was signed at the event by Alain Prost, Gerhard Berger and Nigel Mansell is superbly framed whilst the original sign that hung above the first car in the Donington Collection (a Ferrari of course) is another one off, as is the large scale hand made wooden model of Schumacher’s F2003 GA with working steering! 

Thanks,

Tim

The post 🏁 McLaren Ascendancy 🏁 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

As the summer break finishes, the F1 circus heads for Zandvoort for the final time under the current contract. The circuit is a favourite of Max Verstappen, being his home race and the scene of his hat trick of wins from 2021-23, whist the last two races have belonged to McLaren with Lando and Oscar winning in 2024 and 2025.

We have some incredible pieces new into stock from the McLaren 2 seater programme that ran from 1998-2001 as well as some enamel badges and other rare items from the Woking team. 

Meantime in Bonneville, Utah, Andy Green piloted the JCB Hydromax to a new Land Speed Record and we have in stock a superb Amalgam Collection 1/10 model of the Bloodhound LSR vehicle that was built to challenge the outright record. 

For the race suit collector we offer original used examples from Jenson Button, Pedro de la Rosa, Richard Attwood as well as Keke and Nico Rosberg. 

We have new items incoming but encourage you to browse the site as we have many unusual and unique pieces. 

Thanks

The post 🇳🇱 Dune! 🏁 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

Nick Mason’s McLaren F1 GTR will go under the hammer at Monterey and is estimated at US$30m. At a more affordable price point, we have some very rare McLaren enamel badges from the F1 programme, a service folder from the ultra rare owners pack as well as launch brochures and owners manual signed by Gordon Murray.

We have a great selection of drivers gloves and nomex garments that were previously on loan to a museum and a superb McLaren 2 seater experience blank certificate – perhaps the ultimate flex if you are planning on becoming a Cambridge University lecturer?!

Whilst we recently sold some McLaren brake calipers, we are now able to offer an original unused Aston Martin caliper that makes a superb desk piece!

Finally, as we see record dry and sunny weather in the UK, we recommend being prepared for the eventual break and can supply a great selection of period team umbrellas with full tobacco sponsorship from Jordan!

Enjoy!
