Exciting tidings await all the fervent Formula 1 enthusiasts out there!

Back in May, Williams F1 bestowed upon its loyal fans the power to decide which special Gulf model car would grace the tracks in three pivotal races with the FW45. With the crowd's decision duly noted and the chosen image unveiled at one of the three races, a spectacular announcement has taken center stage – a replica of the car is now set to go under the hammer at F1 Authentics.

The triumphant model that adorns this remarkable car is aptly named "Bolder than Bold." It emerged victorious from a selection of four options presented to the fervent crowd. Decked out in the classic blue and orange Gulf stripes, this model pays homage to the audacity of those who dare to push the boundaries and make an indelible mark on the world. The world got its first glimpse of "Bolder than Bold" at the recent Singapore race, and it will continue to grace the tracks at both the Japanese and Qatar races.
