Formula 1 fans and collectors are in for a treat. One of the most iconic cars in F1 history, driven by the legendary Michael Schumacher, is about to go on sale.
This is not just any Ferrari—it’s Schumacher’s championship-winning Ferrari 248 F1, a car that helped cement his legacy as one of the greatest drivers ever.
Now, this legendary car is going up for auction in November through RM Sotheby’s, and it promises to be one of the most exclusive sales of the year.
The Ferrari 248 F1 A Historic Machine
The Ferrari 248 F1 was Schumacher’s car during his final successful season with Ferrari in 2006. With this car, Schumacher won five Grand Prix races, including some of the most prestigious events like the US, French, and German Grands Prix.
The 248 F1 also holds a special place in F1 history because it was the car Schumacher used to break Ayrton Senna’s pole position record. This makes the Ferrari 248 F1 not just a piece of automotive history but a symbol of Schumacher’s dominance in the sport.
A Collector’s Dream
Since its racing days, the Ferrari 248 F1 has been in the care of a private owner who purchased it directly from Ferrari. It has been part of an impressive collection and comes with Ferrari’s official Classiche Red Book Certification, along with a treasure trove of documents and photos from its storied past.
The auction will run until November 19th, giving F1 fans and car collectors the chance to bid on this unique piece of history.
The Value of Schumacher’s Ferrari
Michael Schumacher is widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in Formula 1 history, with seven world championships to his name. This Ferrari 248 F1 was part of the final chapter in his incredible career, and it holds great sentimental and historical value.
Given that this car helped Schumacher achieve some of his most memorable victories, it’s expected to fetch over $15 million at auction, based on the prices of similar Schumacher-driven Ferrari F1 cars.
Though Schumacher has been out of the public eye since his tragic accident, his legacy continues to inspire F1 fans around the world.
Owning this car would be like owning a piece of that legacy, forever tied to one of the greatest drivers the sport has ever seen.
