LOT 005 – Alex Albon 2019 Toro Rosso Season Used Suit
Auction Details
Story
The 2019 season was the year Alex Albon burst onto the Formula 1® scene. Joining Toro Rosso as a rookie, Albon quickly demonstrated pace and composure beyond his experience. His performances caught the eye of Red Bull Racing and mid-season he was promoted to the senior team to partner Max Verstappen.
From Rookie to Red Bull Racing
Born in London and racing under the Thai flag, Albon graduated through the Red Bull Junior programme and earned his seat with Toro Rosso in 2019. His debut season was characterised by calm yet competitive drives that made him a standout among his rookie peers. Within just 12 races with Toro Rosso, Red Bull Racing entrusted him with promotion to the senior team, a move that marked the next stage of his F1® journey.
This suit represents that short but defining Toro Rosso chapter, making it a highly collectable time capsule from the very start of Albon’s F1® career.
Toro Rosso Heritage
Toro Rosso, known for nurturing young racing talent, has long been the proving ground for future champions such as Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. Albon’s 2019 season showcased his potential behind the wheel.
Featuring the striking navy, silver, and red colour scheme of Toro Rosso’s 2019 livery, it also carries the branding of notable sponsors from the era, including Moose Craft Cider, a Thai brand owned by the Yoovidhya family, further linking the suit to Albon’s national identity. Its provenance is impeccable: the suit was originally purchased directly from the team and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Franz Tost, Toro Rosso’s Team Principal.
