Product Description
Own a piece of Formula 1 history with this official race programme from the 1989 German Grand Prix, signed by every driver on the grid and some others.
This is rare collectors' piece is the perfect showpiece for your collection, including signatures from Formula 1 heavyweights: Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, and Nelson Piquet.
The 1989 German Grand Prix at the Hockenheim Circuit was a show of speed by both Ayrton Senna and the McLaren-Honda car that he drove.
Senna dominated qualifying, finishing in P1 in front of his teammate in 2nd with nearly a second in gap between the two.
The race start didn't go as expected for the McLaren team as Gerhard Berger in the semi-automatic Ferrari was able to make three places off the line and find himself in front.
However, due to the immense power of the Honda V10 engine Senna had got past Berger before the first chicane, quickly followed by Prost out braking the Ferrari driver at the Ostkurve.
Prost and Senna went toe-to-toe the entire race, trading fastest laps and building a healthy lead between themselves and anyone who may want to ruin their party.
Due to a bad pit stop for Senna, Prost was able to take hold of the lead and fought Senna off valiantly until lap 43 where Prost suffered a gearbox malfunction forcing him into a situation that was impossible to stay in front of his teammate.
Senna past him and went on to win the race, while Prost limped round the last two laps without the joy of his sixth gear and managed to clinch second place with Mansell finishing in third.
This race was a true spectacle to the eye - a Formula 1 classic, and the same can be said about the signed race programme that you can make your own.
This classy piece can ensure you have one of the most sought-after memorabilia items on the market, so be the fastest off the line and make this yours today.

WHAT IS A STRAIGHT BID?
A straight bid is a one-time amount, that represents the price you are committing to bid. The price that is entered as a straight bid can be any amount that is equal to, or greater than the current amount plus the minimum increment.
This amount will become the new current bid amount of the item (i.e. the item is £100. A straight bid is placed at £200. The item price is now £200).
If there is a maximum bid on the item, the greater of the straight bid and maximum bid will be the highest bid amount.
If a straight bid and a maximum bid are placed at the same value, the bid that is placed earlier will become the winning bid.
WHAT IS A MAXIMUM BID?
This system offers a convenient bidding system option, so you don't have to continuously login to re-bid. When you place a maximum bid, you are entering the highest price you are willing to pay for an item. Your maximum bid is kept confidential until it is exceeded by another bidder.
When a maximum bid is placed, the system will place bids on your behalf at the bid increment amount above the current high bid. The system will bid by the increment to ensure you remain the highest bidder or to meet the reserve price (if applicable), up to your maximum bid amount.
If and only if duplicate maximum bids are entered, the customer who entered the maximum bid first will get priority and will be the winning bidder.
If another bidder places a higher bid above your maximum bid, you will be emailed to login and place another bid.
