Michael Schumacher’s record-breaking Ferrari sells at auction for £13m and becomes most valuable ‘modern-era’ F1 car

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER’S old Ferrari Formula One car has become the most valuable of the “modern era”;..

The Ferrari F2003 was sold for an immense £12.6million, breaking the previous record, which was also held by an old Schumacher model.

Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari F2003 was sold for over £10m in a recent auction.
The auction of the car took place in Geneva, Switzerland at Sotherby’s
The car helped Schumacher become one of the best Formula 1 drivers of all time.

That car was the F2001, which was sold in 2017 for £6.4m, almost half the price of the new record holder.

The F2003 was the car in which Schumacher won his sixth Formula One world title.

And five of Schumacher’s six victories that season came in the exact model sold in Geneva, along with two more podium finishes.

Top Gear magazine revealed that the car was presented in “in full running order”; after being rejuvenated by Ferrari.

It is believed that Mick Schumacher, Michael’s son, had a look at the car to check it over at Ferrari’s private testing ground at Fiorano.

Since the vehicle has stopped racing it has only covered 148 miles, mostly driven by Mick.

The car’s final price surged past the £9m that it was expected to be sold for.

Mick is currently racing for the American team Haas, but could be replaced by Nico Hulkenburg next season.

Whoever has bought the car has got themselves a bit of Formula 1 history and one of the finest bits of F1 memorabilia ever offered up.
