The blind box trend is motoring over to the Formula 1 track , with the release of a new F1 "Mystery Box" that features an actual piece of driver Max Verstappen's championship-winning Red Bull race car.
The latest release from memorabilia brand Memento Exclusives, the F1 Max Verstappen Mystery Box contains an authentic piece from the Red Bull driver's World Championship-winning car in 2021, which marked the F1 star's first of his four Drivers' Championship titles to date.
LIMITED TO 500 BOXES F1 Mystery Box – Max Verstappen $1,376
According to F1 Authentics, the official seller of this release, each Mystery Box will contain a "genuine piece of bodywork" from Verstappen's 2021 car.
The boxes will also feature randomly inserted "race-used bodywork" and F1 merch from across all 11 teams on the current F1 grid, which could include everything from skid planks and brake pads from actual F1 cars, to signed photographs, apparel, and accessories. The F1 Authentics store says each Mystery Box is guaranteed to be worth at least £1,300 (roughly $1,800 USD).
Just like other blind boxes or trading card releases that offer a big "chase card" pull , one lucky F1 Mystery Box buyer will receive a ticket that can be redeemed for an official Formula 1 replica front wing and nose, valued at more than $20,000. The front wing and nose will come from a car from the Aston Martin, Cadillac, Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, Oracle Red Bull Racing, Atlassian Williams Racing, or BWT Alpine F1 teams.
The F1 Mystery Box collection is limited to 1,000 boxes worldwide, and just 500 online at the F1 store . Each box is available now for $1,376 here . Units are expected to sell out fast, especially with the rare car part chase.
The Max Verstappen release follows an F1 Mystery Box released earlier in 2026, that featured a piece of a car driven by last year's World Champ, Lando Norris .
Can't spring for the Max Verstappen Mystery Box? Fans can also pick up this new Funko Pop! Ride release, which features a vinyl figurine of the F1 star and his Oracle Red Bull Racing car.
The miniature Max stands 5.4 inches tall and the vinyl figure can be posed next to or standing on top of the car. Everything is packaged inside a window pane display box with detailing inspired by the Red Bull team garage.
