Full size replica of the 2009 Sauber BMW steering wheel.

This has to be one of the best looking Steering wheels from the modern era of Formula 1.

The Sauber BMW was driven by Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld in the 2009 season.

After the team’s impressive performance in 2008, winning their first race and coming third in the championship, much was expected of them. BMW made a promising start to the season, with Kubica running second at Melbourne and lapping faster than the leader before retiring in a collision, and Heidfeld finishing second at the chaotic Malaysian GP. However, the F1.09 ultimately proved to be disappointing. At times, the drivers could barely scrape through to Q2, let alone challenge for pole. Both drivers expressed discontent with the slow developments to the car. Towards the end of the season things began to look up, with the cars managing fourth and fifth at Spa-Francorchamps and Kubica finishing second at Brazil. However, the damage had been done, and BMW announced that 2009 would be their last season in Formula One. The team eventually finished sixth in the Constructors’ Championship.

This is the closest you will find to an authentic steering wheel, without having to fork out thousands of £££££.

The feel is great, the paddles are spring loaded.

The knobs turn, and the switches click.

I have modelled this wheel from photos etc. so it is not identical, but very close, I think.

Whether you are a Kubica or a Heidfeld fan or just love F1, you will appreciate this piece of memorabilia from 2009.

This wheel with display stand is made to order, so will take 10 to 14 days to deliver.
