The car's profile was boosted at the British GP as McLaren put on a demonstration following Sprint Qualifying at Silverstone on July 17, meaning 140,000 fans got a closer look at the car. One of those one-two finishes came in Turkey with Hamilton beating Button by just under three seconds, and at a recent RM Sotheby's auction the car used by the former was sold for £4.83 million, which roughly comes to €5.64m. Hamilton took three of those victories, with the team finishing one-two on three occasions. That year saw the Briton joined by Jenson Button at the Woking outfit, and the two combined to win five races. Lewis Hamilton's days as a McLaren driver have long been over, but that hasn't stopped the MP4-25A that he drove to victory at the 2010 Turkish GP from being sold for a hefty fee recently.
