1998 FIA British GP marshal's tabard signed by two World Champions, bearing the marker pen signatures of Mika Hakkinen and Michael Schumacher, along with those of Jean Alesi and David Coulthard, the colour-coded blue tabard marked Course Radio Marshall GB0461, Silverstone, 1998 RAC British Grand Prix, with all FIA Formula 1 World Championship insignia and circuits, as issued by Formula One Administration Ltd 1998, framed and glazed, framed and glazed, 85 by 62cm., 33 1/2 by 24 1/2in. Signed by the drivers who ran first to fourth during the early stages, Alesi having made a great start from the fifth row, before heavy rain set in and he and Coulthard retired. Schumacher then beat Hakkinen to score a victory that is unique in the annals of motor racing, the winner having actually crossed the finishing line in the pit lane to serve a stop-go penalty, rather than taking the chequered flag in the normal way, a most controversial episode at the time.
