In that case they are possibly valuable antiques. O levels were replaced over 30 years ago by the less exam biased GCSE.

That said this could be a result of a Design & Technology coursework project in resistant materials.

Executed on a computer numerically controlled (CNC) band saw.

Bit of an IT crossover opportunity there too

edit: good spot Martin

Definitely much nicer trophies out there. Lewis will keep in a dark corner of his already full warehouse.

That's brilliant, well done Lewis and all so quietly done, Hamilton really is a very caring person despite his celebrity. If only more of our role models could be more like him, it's a great example to us all.
