Do they have a request form on their site?

Thanks for asking, no, I wrote and sent a letter to their address:

Grove, Wantage OX12 0DQ (UK)

u/Michael053 6d ago

You should!

Always remember some teams won't send anything back. I have not received anything from Ferrari, Red Bull, VCARB and Aston Martin this year.

Grove surely?

u/Michael053 6d ago

Yep, and I have edited my comment their full address to prevent any misunderstandings

Oh that’s great! I just got an email saying that William’s is sending out a poster with all 24 badges signed by Alex, Franco, and James Vowles (not sure if it’s their real signature or it’s press printed though).

i got this same email! i was starting to think maybe it wasnt real LOL

I was a little wary too, but the email didn't ask for anything, not even to click on a link, so I decided to let hope prevail (like this entire season 😆) and trust that a poster with their signatures will show up (eventually).

Dang it, I should’ve done this earlier in the season. How do you go about sending a letter to them? I’m in the US so I’m sure it’s not as easy.

u/Michael053 6d ago

I sent a letter requesting signed driver cards. Along with the letter, I enclosed a pre-addressed, prestamped envelope. And then it's just a waiting game.

Sweet, I’ll have to jump on it then if I want them sooner than later.

u/Michael053 6d ago

Make sure to add enough stamps on it for them to return it successfully😄

u/Dirty-Catfish 6d ago

How many does it take for US>UK>US? Is there an easy way to calculate postage stamps needed?

u/Michael053 6d ago edited 6d ago

For me it's published on the website of the mail/postage company (PostNL).

If I expect an envelope up to 50 grams I have to add two stamps on it (for example).

Firstly, make sure to have enough stamps on your own envelope (which carries your letter & return envelope). Secondly, make sure to add enough on the return envelope
