8 museum-worthy items from Formula 1

In celebration of World Museum Day, we highlight eight iconic F1 artefacts that define the sport's rich history. From Charles Leclerc’s 2024 Monaco-winning helmet and the legendary Jordan 191 that launched Michael Schumacher’s career, to Ayrton Senna’s iconic yellow helmet and the symbolic one-pound coin that birthed the Brawn GP era, these items capture pivotal moments. The list also features engineering marvels and historical curiosities, including the Ferrari 641/2 displayed at the Museum of Modern Art, Lewis Hamilton’s three-wheeled tyre from his 2020 British Grand Prix victory, the radical six-wheeled Tyrrell P34, and the unique Pirelli monkey trophy from the French Grand Prix. Each piece represents a unique chapter in the narrative of Formula 1.
