JUST IN; Formula 1 about to lose One of the most iconic Ferrari cars
Formula 1 collectors and Schumacher superfans are about to lose their minds. One of the most iconic Ferrari cars in F1 history driven by the legend himself, Michael Schumacher , is about to go on sale. This is not just any Ferrari F1 car , this ‘prancing horse’ is Schumacher’s championship-winning car, and it’s about to take center stage in the most exclusive sealed bid auction ever.
The auction goes down in November thanks to RM Sotheby’s, and the car in question is the legendary Ferrari 248 F1, which was driven by Michael Schumacher during his final triumphant season with Ferrari in 2006. Michael Schumacher grabbed five Grand Prix victories with this car, including wins at some of the sport’s most prestigious races like the US, French, and German Grands Prix.
The Ferrari 248 F1 is part of Ferrari folklore in more ways than one. Not only did Schumacher steer this beast to eight podium finishes, but he also managed to shatter Ayrton Senna’s pole position record while behind the wheel of this exact chassis. For F1 fans, this is going to be the ultimate collector’s item!
The 248 F1 has spent its post-racing life in the care of one private owner who purchased it directly from Ferrari, and it’s been part of a world-renowned collection. The car will be offered with Ferrari’s prestigious Classiche Red Book Certification and a treasure trove of historical documents and photos. Want to add a piece of history to your garage? Better act fast, because bidding closes at 5 p.m. ET on November 19th.
When we talk about Michael Schumacher, we’re talking about a name that defined an era of Formula 1. Some consider him to be the ‘GOAT’, with seven world championships under his belt. Schumacher’s career was legendary, and this Ferrari 248 F1 was one of the final chapters of that story, as it marked the end of his incredible run with Scuderia Ferrari.
This is also the car in which Schumacher claimed his final pole position, his final Grand Prix win, and where he bid farewell to the fans on his home turf in Germany. So, whether you are a Schumacher fan, or Ferrari enthusiast, this special car represents not only the culmination of his career but also a reminder of the raw, unparalleled talent that made him a legend.
Unfortunately, Michael Schumacher met with a terrible accident and has since been out of the spotlight as his family wished for privacy, but the legend of one of the greatest driver in motorsport history will forever be known to all. Because of the legacy behind this car, you can expect people to throw huge amounts of money at it, and because there are so many fans of both Schumacher and Ferrari, we expect the iconic Ferrari to be sold for anything over $15 million if we compare it to other Schumacher Ferrari F1 cars that have gone on sale before.
