F1 Driver Cards

I just saw someone post their Mercedes Driver cards and how to get them so thought I’d share how I got mine from McLaren (btw thank u to the person who posted the Mercedes cards for the inspiration)

Unlike Mercedes, the other driver cards like Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull, etc.. all require the fan to send an envelope with a pre paid international stamp or some money so that they can buy the stamps (which is fair). I sent out my letter to McLaren on the 20th of September and just received it on the 13th of October (but then again i hadn’t open my mailbox until now so maybe it was in there for a while).

The McLaren card is just one card with both drivers and a short biography about them on the back (pic 2&3) and there’s a letter of gratitude from the team.

To send out a request to the teams, you’ll need a C4 envelope, a C5 envelope, an International Reply Coupon (IRC) ($2.50 at post office), and a letter. The letter can be simple and standard to request for the cards. Depending on each team/driver they can also request for money and you won’t need to add in the IRC.

Write your address on the C5 envelope put it in the C4 envelope with the letter and IRC. The C4 envelope should have the team’s address on it and of course an international stamp.

You can refer to the link below from reddit to find the requirement and location for each F1 team. Or just google how to receive driver cards and the reddit post should be the first thing to pop up :) . Do note in SG it might take a longer time. I’ve requested from Mercedes and Ferrari but had no luck yet :/
