Formula 1 will auction off merchandise and a number of experience packages to raise money for those affected by the devastating wild fires in Australia in which more than 10 million hectares have been burnt, more than 2000 houses destroyed and 29 people killed during a tragic fire season that started back in October.

The auction will feature both meet-and-greet style packages and exclusive merchandise, generously donated by teams and drivers. The auction kicks off today and will run until February 9. You can bid on f1authentics

The list of merchandise includes:
1. Gloves and boots worn by Renault's Danial Ricciardo in 2019
2. Helmet that Kevin Magnussen (Haas) will wear during this March's Australian Grand Prix
3. Race suits from Red Bull duo Alex Albon and Max Verstappen, as well as Haas' Romain Grosjean and Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat.

For the meet-and-greet experiences, a number of teams will make drivers and personnel available to winning bidders during the Australian Grand Prix weekend including:

1. Mercedes (Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas and Toto Wolff)
2. Red Bull Racing (Verstappen and Albon)
3. McLaren (Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz)
4. Racing Point (Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll)
5. Williams (George Russell and Nicholas Latifi and Claire Williams)
6. Ferrari (Mattia Binotto).

There is also a:
1. A hot lap in the FIA Safety Car at Albert Park
2. Visit to race control during the Australian GP
3. Dinner opportunity with Ross Brawn.
4. McLaren and Renault's factory tours
5. Pirelli's Paddock Club Experience
6. Renault's training experience with the Renault Sport
Academy

All proceeds will be split between Red Cross Australia, the Country Fire Authority Victoria, the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal and the WWF Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund.

#Lewis Hamilton has already made a remarkable contribution, pledging $500,000 to WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc.) and the WWF Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund.
