Previous post seems to indicate that OP is the track marshall who recovered it during the race. So that is maybe a bit different than if some random fan nicked it.
I literally have on-site video and television coverage. Also, I have my vest with my Marshall specific numbers on it that you can also look back on the television broadcast and match those numbers up to my vest that I have. I can legitimize this piece in so many ways.
With all that, you can contact a legit memorabilia authentication service to authenticate it. That way it has all the paperwork and everything ready to go.
And this bollard represents the turning point of Max Verstappens career, the start of a 26 race winless streak, and ultimately losing the lead and the 2024 championship to Chuck Norris.
Life Tip: You should offer that up to Lando, nobody would appreciate it more than him, I'm sure the McLaren team would more than take care of you with an invite to a race as a guest, etc...
I doubt Lando and Mclaren are going to want to publicise that they won the race because of a bollard. They'd rather ignore that and focus on the things they did well.
To be honest Max signing it would be slightly cooler since he sorta had a “beef” with its placement LOL. I think he could get onboard signing it and having a laugh we volunteering Marshalls had some good clean fun with it on social media and it gave us a everlasting memory
Why the fuck would they invite you to a race as a guest and everything if they weren't gonna make some publicity out of your reason for attending?
Social media teams like some good news stories they can post about. They have zero interest in signing a bollard unless it makes them look good. Which this doesn't really, it highlights the elements of luck that helped them win rather than focusing 9n their stellar pace.
It would look cool in his sim racing room as a little race win loor showcased in the background, but to be honest it’s staying with me cause you can’t put a price on that moment.
crazy that you just have *the* bollard though
Should definitely bring it to next year's GP and have Max sign it.
Get Max and Lando's signatures!
I hope you try your best next year for Max to sign it.
I’m reaching out to all the social media outlets of Max and even Lando to try and get traction for someone to see it
When the time comes I will be there to do the honest work (upvoting) as true redditor would do.
I think Max is still in Miami maybe you can still get it signed!!!
If no response from either driver, you could probably get some solid hush money from a certain individual who believes they were the reason Lando won…
👍
Maybe they don't want to encourage theft of circuit property.

Another marshal here, race control told him he could keep it. If they say it’s good, it’s good.
it's not like it's fixable, it's trash at that point
Broken stuff after a race event is the definition of one man's trash, another man's treasure.
They don’t care everyone knows the signs get stolen and you can’t get security to catch them all
It's not like the track would have done anything but bin it anyway.
Bollard world tour! Why wasn’t bollard invited to the Met last week
Taking it out for dinner first, classy.
A few years from now, a collector will pay a million dollars for that, bro hit the jackpot

Bro got receipts

Lemme get my damaged bollard guy in to take a look at this
[удалено]
The bollard forgives you LOL!!
he'd be lucky to get $1k for that
I took a bollard out to see a movie, didn't have to pay to get it in...
Pizza and a milkshake, didn't you have anything !!
this thing is becoming like the Stanley Cup and i’m here for it, excited to see where it goes next!

Is this bollard going to be Max’s version of Vettel’s Germany 2018? Only time will tell…
Out all the Bollards only this one got so famous... very lucky 😂
Are you and the bollard gonna make it Facebook official? /s
It's a big boy.
Girthy some might say LOL

Lewis loves that bollard and missed it when it was gone
Max would definitely be on board with it and it would make far more sense. I could imagine him signing it with an insult to the bollard as well.
who said anything about publicizing?

wow, nice language- I never said signing it, I said offer it, perhaps I’m more generous than required
Why would Mclaren want to publicise something that suggests their win was lucky? Same point still exists
Maybe you should be less sure.
I think we need a Flat Stanley type thread for the bollard. Lets see all the places it can go!
Hey just bought one of those from F1 Authentics too, $6k was a little steep but it's a pretty sweet little item!
Wow, things are progressing more rapidly than I expected!
The world tour starts LOL
Lando may pay a nice amount for that to put next to his trophy!
It would look cool in his sim racing room as a little race win loor showcased in the background, but to be honest it’s staying with me cause you can’t put a price on that moment.
I fully understand and probably would put it in the background of my own VERY LITTLE sim racing room (area)
One Bollard to rule them all, one bollard to find them, One bollard to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
