2019 Max Verstappen USGP Used Red Bull Racing F1 Suit
This week's "Item of the Week" is one of the nicest looking and rarest F1 suits in the collecting hobby at the moment.
This Puma Motorsports racing suit worn by Max Verstappen during the 2019 USGP in Austin Texas while driving for Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. Verstappen is the current World Drivers' Champion having taken the title in 2021. This suit is unique to the USGP with the Exxon logo as opposed to the Esso one which was standard on the suit for other rounds.
Verstappen started the race in 3rd and was the first of the front-runners to make a scheduled pit stop at the end of lap 13 switching to hard-compound tires. At this point in the race it was uncertain whether these tires would last until the end or if Verstappen would require another stop. Bottas, who was still leading the race, came into the pits on the following lap for hard-compound tires and maintained his position ahead of Verstappen upon exiting the pits. During the race Hamilton began to question his team's strategy, claiming over the radio that he was unsure if his tires could make it to the end of the race. Bottas and Verstappen began to close in on Hamilton with Bottas catching up to within one second with six laps to go. Bottas finally took the lead of the race on lap 52 after Hamilton had fought off previous attempts. Verstappen was now within three seconds of Hamilton and was catching him quickly. However, Verstappen's charge was halted when on the penultimate lap Kevin Magnussen, who was in 16th place, suffered a brake failure at turn 12 and spun into the gravel. This incident brought out yellow flags preventing overtaking into turn 12. Bottas crossed the finish line to take his fourth victory of 2019, as Hamilton held off Verstappen to take 2nd place with the Red Bull closely behind to secure the final podium spot.
Verstappen finished the 2019 season in 3rd place in the Championship with 278 points. He scored three race victories, nine podium finishes, two pole positions, and three fastest laps.
Max Verstappen genuine race used items are increasingly harder to come by and this iconic Red Bull suit is no exception. So don't hesitate to add it to your collection today as these items tend to sell fast.
The suit comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity.
