The Team and FTX will release free-to-claim NFT “Ticket Stubs” – artistic interpretations of a Mercedes-AMG Petronas race ticket – as well as unique and rare NFTs throughout the year, created by some of the world’s leading artists which will be available for auction at various points during the 2022 season, starting in Miami.
The series of NFT Ticket Stub drops will create an opportunity for fans to build, trade and collect their own NFT Ticket Stub collection over the season, providing fans even more ways to engage with each other; building a new community of collectors and traders, all with a shared passion for racing and digital art. There will be 2,500 free-to-claim NFT Ticket Stubs at most races, and 1,000 limited edition NFT Ticket Stubs at up to five races throughout the season, created in collaboration with different artists.
The 2022 F1 Miami race weekend will also see the unveiling of several unique NFTs produced in collaboration with multi-disciplinary artist Mad Dog Jones, the first of the limited edition NFT collections that will be designed by a range of artists across the season. In a world-first, two special NFTs will feature the 2022 Miami cars raced by Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, with both drivers running rear wing endplates during the race featuring the Mad Dog artwork. The rear wings, fresh off the Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 in Miami, will be auctioned together with their corresponding Mad Dog NFT.
The NFT auction will be held exclusively on the FTX US…
