The final Dutch Grand Prix is set to take place at Zandvoort and to mark the occasion, F1® fans and collectors can secure an iconic piece of memorabilia from the race weekend. Max Verstappen remains the only driver from the Netherlands to have been crowned champion and now, an auction in support of Wings for Life will see collectors able to own a unique piece celebrating this moment in history.
F1® Authentics, operated by Memento Exclusives, will host the auction of a special edition 2026 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1® Team suit that will be worn by Verstappen during the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix weekend. Verstappen will personally sign the suit, creating a rare piece directly connected to the final chapter of the event, before it leaves the calendar at the conclusion of the 2026 F1® season.
Verstappen and the Dutch Grand Prix
Since the track returned to the Formula 1® calendar in 2021, Verstappen has been the dominant force at Zandvoort, winning the first three editions in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and becoming the first driver to claim three consecutive victories at the modern Dutch Grand Prix.
Those victories came in front of an extraordinary home crowd, making the race one of the defining events of Verstappen’s career with Oracle Red Bull Racing. The combination of his success on track and the wall of orange from his Dutch fans have made Zandvoort one of the most recognisable stops on the Formula 1® calendar in recent times.
With the Dutch Grand Prix now set to leave the calendar, the 2026 race marks the end of an iconic chapter in the Netherlands. The final event will take place from the 21st to 23rd August. This suit will be worn during the race weekend, giving it a direct connection to a significant milestone in a champions career.
A Special Edition Suit for the Final Dutch Grand Prix
The special edition suit features a unique design created to pay homage to the four-time World Champion at his home Grand Prix. The design will only be used once, making the suit tangibly linked to this moment.
Once the on-track action is complete, Verstappen will personally sign this suit, adding his autograph to an item already infused with historical importance.
Supporting Wings for Life
The proceeds from this auction will be donated to Wings for Life, the charity established in 2004 by Dietrich Mateschitz and two-time motocross World Champion Heinz Kinigadner.
Wings for Life supports leading medical research projects focused on finding a cure for spinal cord injury. F1® Authentics is proud to have raised significant funds for Wings for Life in partnership with Max Verstappen and Oracle Red Bull Racing before, while giving fans the opportunity to secure unique pieces of motorsport history in support of the cause. Previous successes have included a signed Motion Simulator and race suits from milestone events in Canada and Japan.
This auction offers that same opportunity, allowing the successful bidder to own a piece connected to Max Verstappen, Oracle Red Bull Racing and the final Dutch Grand Prix, while helping raise funds for an incredible cause.
Laurent Mekies, CEO and Team Principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing and Wings for Life Ambassador, said:
“Following Max’s contract extension with the Team, we’re proud to be auctioning one of his special edition Dutch GP race suits in aid of our Team charity, Wings for Life. This special suit which will be signed by Max has been designed for, what is expected to be his last home race in Zandvoort this weekend, as the Dutch GP leaves the F1 calendar. In collaboration with the F1 Authentics auction platform, collectors can now bid to own this incredible piece of history. With 100% of the auction proceeds going directly to Wings for Life, we can transform a rare piece of racing memorabilia into meaningful research to find a cure for spinal cord injury.”
