It’s a notable moment whenever a car previously owned by a Formula One champion appears at public auction, and an upcoming event raises the stakes by offering two. Both Lewis Hamilton’s former McLaren MP4-12C and a counterpart connected to Jenson Button are set to cross the block together in a pairing that rarely comes along.
The MP4-12C marked McLaren’s return to building road-going supercars, and examples linked to two of the marque’s grand prix stars carry added appeal for collectors who prize provenance. Buyers chasing a piece of motorsport history will likely watch this lot closely, since the chance to bid on either car, let alone both, doesn’t surface often.
