<\/p>\nLewis Hamilton\u2019s first Mercedes F1 Championship winning car is set to make more money than Mike Tyson\u2019s net worth.<\/p>\n
In 2014, Hamilton won the first of six F1 world titles as a Mercedes driver. There was much anticipation of how he would perform after he swapped McLaren for Mercedes, who did not have the greatest track record of success in F1. However, he absolutely stormed the 2013-14 campaign by finishing a whopping 67 points ahead of nearest challenger and fellow Mercedes team-mate and rival Nico Rosberg.<\/p>\n
He won 11 of 19 races and eclipsed the victory tally of all previous British drivers who had got behind the wheel before him. Nearly 10 years after his blistering campaign, the very car he used to win the title is being auctioned – it could even surpass the entire net worth of Mike Tyson.<\/p>\n

The 2013 Mercedes F1 W04 is the only Hamilton driven car to be available for purchase by the public. It\u2019s currently estimated to fetch between $10m-$15m.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, it's the Mercedes-Benz Uhlenhaut Coup\u00e9 that fetched $142 million, cementing the Silver Arrows' place in history books as one of the world's most valuable and recognizable brands. Now, adding to the legacy of the Silver Arrows, we introduce the W04\u2014a car whose significance cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n
"Driven by Formula 1\u2019s most successful driver and sporting icon, Lewis Hamilton, this car delivered his very first win in a Mercedes F1 car, signalling the beginning of the marque's most dominant period: the Hamilton-Mercedes dynasty. This pairing can only be compared to Jordan and the Bulls, Brady and the Patriots, or Messi and Argentina.<\/p>\n
