2003 Justin Wilson Very Rare Rookie Minardi F1 Suit
Incredibly rare Justin Wilson suit from his 2003 F1 season.
Wilson got his F1 break for the 2003 season when he was hired by Minardi. He would spend season with the Minardi and Jaguar teams, ironically scoring his only point in the SAP U.S. Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Wilson competed in eight Indianapolis 500s, finishing as high as fifth in the 2013 race that ended under caution when Dario Franchitti hit the Turn 1 wall. As fast as Wilson’s Andretti Autosport car was that day, eventual race winner Tony Kanaan was fortunate not to have had to contend with Wilson in those final laps had they remained caution-free.
Of course, Wilson had considerable success in CART and INDYCAR, winning seven races between the two series. In the 2015 race, prior to being fatally struck by debris in an accident at Pocono Raceway, Wilson finished second to Graham Rahal at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The suits history is unknown but it is still a nice keepsake from the British drivers F1 career.
The suit comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
