A small piece of Kimi Antonelli history was made on Saturday night at an auction, with a 1-of-1 race-worn patch autograph trading card of the Italian having sold for $201,910.
It is the most expensive Antonelli trading card to have ever sold and the seventh most expensive in F1 history.
With Antonelli having enjoyed a stunning start to the 2026 F1 season, it is also a sign of the rapidly growing value in the Mercedes driver's merchandise.
The 19-year-old leads the drivers' title by 22 points over George Russell after back-to-back wins in China and Japan, with him firmly having the momentum.
Antonelli has made rapid improvements already in what is just his second season in F1, with the value of the winning bid of the 1-of-1 trading card evidence of how exceptional he is expected to become.
Should Antonelli go on to win further races this season and even the championship, the value of the card will likely sky rocket.
The most expensive F1 trading card to have sold is a Lewis Hamilton 2020 Topps Chrome Sapphire/Superfractor 1-of-1, which reportedly sold for over a $1 million.
