Daniel Ricciardo supercar set to fetch eye-watering multi-million sum at auction

The Aston Martin Valkirye supercar that currently belongs to former F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo is set to go to auction next month and has been valued at a huge seven-figure sum. Ricciardo, who won eight grands prix during his F1 career, enjoyed a bulk of his success with the Red Bull team from 2014 to 2018. The Valkirye was created by the Milton Keynes-based squad's former chief technical designer Adrian Newey, who departed the Red Bull organisation last year. Red Bull Advanced Technologies also played a role in the creation of the supercar, and Ricciardo ordered his own machine when it was still in development. However, Ricciardo is now set to part ways with the car, which has been estimated to fetch €2,400,000 - €2,800,000 at auction. The bidding will take place on October 10 at the Zoute Concours Auction in Knokke, Belgium. The Valkirye owned by Ricciardo is one of only 150 produced, with the Australian in possesion of Chassis No. 89. According to the auction listing, Ricciardo further modified the car and injected a further £141,500 in total factory options. Despite the significant purchase being made several years ago, the car is considered like-new with the odometer reading only 160 km.
