A series of lots donated by drivers, teams and other motor sporting insiders were sold via RM Sotheby’s in aid of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The FIA has already given €1m to the organisation prior to the auction.

Other prices reflected the pulling power of the stars of the current generation, with Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc items all reaching impressive sums. The highest price achieved by a suit-only lot was £25,000 for the one worn by Leclerc at the 2019 Belgian GP that was given by Ferrari.
