Michael Schumacher’s 1998 Ferrari to be auctioned - this is its crazy value

The Ferrari F300 (3.0-litre V10-engined, 800bhp) is a collector’s dream - if that collector has extremely deep pocke༒ts.

It will be on offer 🌠publicly at R♔M Sotheby’s Monterey, USA, auction in August.

It is the chassis number 187 - the only car in F1 history to race at least three times and maintain a 100 percent winning reco🐲rd.

Schumacher used this car four times in the 1998 season and won each time. He used the F300 between Ju🍌ne and September 1998.

However, this car did not take Schumacher 𒊎to one of 🎶his joint-record seven F1 championships.

The le🍷gendary 🐈German lost out to Mika Hakkinen in the 1998 season.

It has been owned privately since 1999 - the buyer bought it from Ferrari and has k🌱ept it ever since, shielding it from public view, and not making any changes to it. So the F300 remains untouched from its original spec.

The auction house said: “Eminently rare and forever tied to one of racing’s all-time 🧸greatest legends, the extraordinary Michael Schumacher, 187 is without a doubt one of the most significant Ferrari F1 cars in existence, being the only undefeated chassis to run at least three races."

Jean Todt, the Ferrari team principal from 1994 to 2007, said: “Michael is the most fascinating and most suc💧cessful dri🌸ver of his period.

“I am biased. We hav🍬e been working together, we became friends and we 🌱still are very close to each other, so Michael is on top of my heart.

𝓀“Michael loved his cars like they were his babies - they hadᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ a special meaning for him.”

Todt revealed in the past week that he remains in contact with Schumacher, who has not been seen publicly since a skiing accident in 2013 which left him in a medically induced coma. Todt explained ꦯtha✱t they still watch F1 races together.
