Schumacher's car was sold for a record amount (13 photos)

At the Sotheby's auction, which took place as part of the Monaco Grand Prix, a Formula 1 car went under the hammer. In 2001, the famous athlete Michael Schumacher won the same race with it. The final bid was 15,980,000 euros (18.17 million dollars). This is the largest amount paid for a sports car in which Schumacher competed.





The history of the Ferrari F2001 is closely linked with the Monaco Grand Prix. This is the only car in the history of the brand in which Schumacher won both this race and the championship title in the same season. The driver also won in Hungary in this car with chassis number 211, which secured him his fourth title. Finally, this is the last car in which Schumacher won in Monaco.

The auctioneers note that the car has undergone a full maintenance with the participation of Ferrari specialists this year. To bring the car to a fully working condition, it needs to be fitted with new fuel tanks, which have already been ordered and paid for by the current owner.
