Formula 1 is locking in a long-term future with one of its closest partners. The sport confirmed it has extended its licensing agreement with Memento Exclusives, the company behind F1 Authentics, through 2030. That means fans can get their hands on race-used memorabilia, signed gear, and even full-scale show cars for years to come.

Since launching in 2019, F1 Authentics has become the go-to spot for collectors looking to snag pieces of racing history. Whether it’s a Lewis Hamilton-signed helmet, bodywork from past machines, or reimagined items like coffee tables made from wheel rims, the platform has carved out a unique connection between Formula 1 and its fans.
Memorabilia and show cars at the heart of the deal

The renewed deal cements Memento Exclusives as the official supplier of F1 memorabilia and show cars for the next five seasons. The F1 Authentics platform has built its reputation on making authentic race history accessible to fans worldwide. Beyond auctioning off rare driver items, the company takes parts from retired race cars and turns them into collectible art, such as brake disc clocks and skid plank skateboards.

Another major piece of the partnership is the production of officially licensed F1 show cars. Built at Memento’s headquarters in the UK, each car is designed using CAD technology to ensure accuracy and authenticity. These show cars are deployed across the globe by teams, promoters, and sponsors, making them a key part of Formula 1’s global marketing presence. As a general rule, show cars are for exhibition only and do not have engines.
Why the timing matters

The deal comes at an especially pivotal moment. With new technical regulations arriving in 2026 and fresh teams expected to join the grid, Formula 1 is heading into a period of change. By renewing early, both F1 and Memento have ensured stability in a partnership that blends tradition with innovation. For fans, it means more chances to own pieces of the sport just as a new era begins.
