'This remarkable car attracted significant interest from collectors around the world wishing to acquire an important piece of motorsport and F1 history, driven to victory by the Sport’s most successful ever driver,' read a statement on the Sotheby's website.

The car's profile was boosted at the British GP as McLaren put on a demonstration following Sprint Qualifying at Silverstone on July 17, meaning 140,000 fans got a closer look at the car.

One of those one-two finishes came in Turkey with Hamilton beating Button by just under three seconds, and at a recent RM Sotheby's auction the car used by the former was sold for £4.83 million, which roughly comes to €5.64m.

Hamilton took three of those victories, with the team finishing one-two on three occasions. That year saw the Briton joined by Jenson Button at the Woking outfit, and the two combined to win five races. Right before the 2011 Singapore Grand Prix, McLaren signed a new sponsor: Lucozade and the logo replaced the Johnnie Walker logo on the sides of the rear wing, thus shifting the Johnnie Walker logo to the back of the rear wing, which changed from red to silver in colour.Lewis Hamilton's days as a McLaren driver have long been over, but that hasn't stopped the MP4-25A that he drove to victory at the 2010 Turkish GP from being sold for a hefty fee recently.
