Special bracelet

The bracelet is not made from just any set of Schumi’s tires. No, it’s specifically about the tires he drove the Ferrari F310B on during a home race (for Ferrari) at Monza in 1996 – the year he switched to Ferrari’s team. The following year he won the Italian Grand Prix, but failed to take the championship during that season. So the rubber of the bracelet predates Schumacher becoming one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time.

Dragon emblem

The bracelet weighs 30 grams and has a subtle design and striking elements, including the dragon emblem Schumacher used on his helmet designs. The item is also finished with seven diamonds, referring to his seven F1 championships he won in 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Interested parties can personalize the bracelet. Thus, it can be customized for the perfect fit. Engraving is also possible,. The back of the buckle has room for up to sixteen characters.

Senna

The manufacturer – Mongrip – is offering the bracelets under the name MZ96 for 9,600 euros. The first set of seven bracelets will be available December 7. Mongrip also apparently snapped up a set of Ayrton Senna’s tires. For 4,400 euros, you have a similar bracelet, but made from rubber that Senna had under his car during the 1993 Donnington Park Grand Prix.
