Formula 1 cars don’t come up for auction very often, especially those driven by world champions, and one such car is up for sale. It’s a 2013 Lotus E21 driven by Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean, with an estimated value of €350,000 – €450,000.

In his 19-year Formula 1 career, Kimi Raikkonen has achieved 21 wins and 103 podiums, driving for 5 teams (Sauber, McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus, Alfa Romeo), but only one championship title. One of the cars he drove in the 2013 season is this Lotus E21, and what’s interesting about this car is that it didn’t achieve a single win.

The car was contested at five Grands Prix in the hands of Kimi Räikkönen, and a further seven with Romain Grosjean, achieving three 2nd places (Germany, Hungary, and United States) and three 3rd places (South Korea, Japan, and India). It is offered in static, non-running condition on behalf of BWT Alpine F1 Team, and it is not known if the original 2.4-liter V-8 Renault RS27-2013 engine with 750 hp at 18,000 rpm is still in the car.

This Lotus E21 has its original livery and will be auctioned on February 5, 2025 in Paris.
