A Schumacher F1 Car Auctioned for the Monaco Grand Prix
The sale of the historic single-seater in which the Red Baron won the 2001 Grand Prix will be held by RM Sotheby's near the circuit, right before qualifying, on May 24.
A jewel in the crown! RM Sotheby's auction house is full of superlatives to describe its May auction highlight, featuring a unique piece.
The Ferrari F2001 (chassis no. 211) driven in 2001 by Michael Schumacher, which enabled him to win his fifth and final time on the Monegasque track, winning that year's Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.
This pedigree makes the vehicle an iconic piece, as Schumacher—aka the Red Baron—has left such a lasting mark on his sport and his time with the Ferrari team. And even more so after the 2013 skiing accident that devastated him physically but didn't tarnish his legend.
RM Sotheby's understands the value of a piece like this exceptional F1 car and has just announced its sale via a video featuring footage of the 2001 victory.
