Our ever-popular Own The Chequered Flag initiative is back and giving you the chance yet again to add your name to a square of the famous flag which dates back to the beginning of the sport’s history.

The chequered flag has been synonymous of F1 and motorsport for decades, having been used to signal the ends of races since the early 1900s. Although its origins are disputed, it was likely chosen for its visibility against varying background and for those going at high speeds.

For F1, the chequered flag has been used since 1950 - when F1 began. As the years have gone on, it has come to symbolise the crowning moments and the culmination of the excitement and thrilling on-track battles between the world’s greatest drivers.

After the excitement of the race, your personalised piece will allow you to treasure your moment for a lifetime.

Please note: We cannot offer refunds or exchanges on personalised items. Please ensure your details are correct before checkout. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee that your name will be visible in the final photo – this is because the flag is double-sided and therefore, we cannot control where your name will be when being waved.
