The money raised this year will once again go to Oxfam's project providing water f⛎or poor communities in North Eastern Brazil, where 11 million rural people do not have access to drinkiওng water.

"Oxfam is grateful for the Renault F1 Team's commitment to Oxfam and partဣicularly this project, and hope that this year's auction will be as successful as the previous two years."

Drive༺r Fernando Alonso is delꦫighted to be involved with the auction.

"It's a good opportunity to be able to help Oxfam with this project," he said. "We race in Brazil every year, and therefore felt it would make sense to be involved in this project. I𒀰t is great that items that could save our lives during a Grand Prix can then contribute to improving the lives of others".
