Valtteri Bottas Mercedes AMG Petronas 2017 Grand Prix Used Race Suit - Australian GP

This authentic race suit was worn by Valtteri Bottas during the 2017 Australian Grand Prix, his first ever race weekend as a Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team driver.

Used at the season-opening event in Melbourne, the suit marks the beginning of a defining new chapter in Bottas’ Formula 1 career as he stepped into one of the most competitive seats on the grid alongside Lewis Hamilton. Preserved in its original race-used condition, it carries the exact team branding, sponsor detailing and signs of use from its time on track at Albert Park.

The 2017 Australian Grand Prix carried huge attention across the sport, with Bottas making his debut for the Silver Arrows following Nico Rosberg’s shock retirement just months earlier. Under immense pressure, Bottas delivered an assured performance across the weekend, immediately proving himself within the team and laying the foundations for a season that would bring multiple victories and podium finishes.

As the opening race of the year, Melbourne represented the first outing of Mercedes’ new campaign and the beginning of another Championship-winning era for the team. Race-used pieces from moments like this rarely become available, particularly complete driver-worn suits tied to such a significant career milestone.
