Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren MP4-25A attracted a record £4,836,000 sale at an open auction held at Silverstone.

Hamilton won three races in 2010 driving the MP4-25A, and prospective buyers – and fans – at Silverstone were able to take a closer look at the car after McLaren put on a demonstration run after Saturday’s sprint qualifying session ahead of the British Grand Prix.

This particular auction was the first of its kind, as a race-winning car driven by Hamilton had never been under the hammer before.

The specific chassis sold, the MP4-25A/01, took Hamilton to victory in the 2010 Turkish Grand Prix – a race infamous for the Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber colliding.
