Story
A striking and highly significant piece of modern Formula One bodywork, this genuine sidepod originates from the Aston Martin AMR21 — the car that marked the marque’s return to the Formula One grid as a works team for the first time in over 60 years.
The 2021 season represented a landmark moment for Aston Martin, reintroducing one of motorsport’s most iconic names to Grand Prix racing. Competing with the AMR21, driven by Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll, the team entered a new era, making components from this debut season particularly desirable.
The sidepod is one of the most critical aerodynamic and functional elements of a Formula One car. It houses essential cooling systems for the power unit while carefully managing airflow along the car’s body toward the rear wing and diffuser. Its sculpted design reflects the intricate balance between cooling efficiency, aerodynamic performance and packaging within the tight constraints of modern F1 engineering.
Constructed from lightweight carbon fibre and finished in Aston Martin’s signature racing green livery, the sidepod delivers both technical depth and exceptional visual presence. The smooth, flowing surfaces and detailed contours highlight the precision and innovation behind Formula One bodywork design.
Displaying authentic race-used character, this large-format component offers a direct connection to Aston Martin’s historic return season and the competitive environment of the modern Formula One grid.
A commanding centrepiece for any serious motorsport collection, this 2021 AMR21 sidepod represents heritage, innovation and elite-level performance.

Auction Buyers Guide
Our team's primary aims are to source the most unique items for our auctions and to make participating in our online events enjoyable and easy for our buyers. We endeavour to do this whilst offering a personalised service to all.
Step 1: Register to Bid
To register as a bidder, create an account on our account. You'll be asked to provide your credit card details, and a temporary charge will be placed on the account for the duration of the auction to minimise fraudulent accounts from interfering with the bidding process.
Step 2: Place Your Bid
Items at auction may be sold with or without a reserve price, and will be clearly identified as such during the auction.
For a sale to be successful a bid must equal or exceed the reserve. In the event that you are the highest final bidder, but the total bid remains under the reserve price the item will not sell.
Popcorn Bidding: All lots use a 5-minute time extension system. If a bid is placed within the final 5 minutes, the lot’s end time will extend by another 5 minutes. This can continue for up to 24 hours after the original closing time.
Items that are sold without a reserve will be clearly identified as such during the auctions. In their case the highest final bid will always win the item.
Items that do not meet reserve or do not receive any bids will not sell. Upon the closure of the auction these will be removed and managed independently by our specialists. Interested parties are invited to engage with our private sales team to make an offer.
Step 3: Make Payment
We pride ourselves in offering our customers a variety of payment options to satisfy their preferences. Upon conclusion of the auction the F1® Authentics sales platform will automatically issue a payment link to the winning bidder.
Payment is due in full by the end of the first business day following a sale. Proof of payment will be required and requested by our specialists.
Auction hammer price is exclusive of buyer's premium and sales tax, and exclusive of import duties and VAT.
