The 2017 season was a phenomenal one, with then three-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes battling it out with four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel of Scuderia Ferrari. The season came with many challenges, but with nine race victories under his belt, Lewis came out on top, scoring 363 points compared to Vettel’s 317, and claiming his fourth Title. The competition drew to a close at the Mexican Grand Prix, where Lewis finished ninth – it was enough however for him to secure the Title crown. 

An excellent year for Mercedes, the Silver Arrows claimed their fourth consecutive Constructors’ World Championship Title, with Valtteri Bottas finishing third in the standings, with three race victories to his name.  

What is Skid Block? 

Skid block is a mandatory piece of bodywork that gets fitted to the underneath the F1 car. It was first introduced in 1994 following the tragic death of three-time World Champion, Ayrton Senna. The skid block or ‘legality plank’ was brought in to increase the safety of the car and exists as a main feature on the race cars of today. 

Hand-crafted by the team at F1 Authentics, this exquisite piece of re-engineered memorabilia is ready to use or display.
