Michael Schumacher: Ferrari driven by seven-time world champion during title win in 2000 expected to sell for up to $9.5 million

One of Michael Schumacher’s championship-winning Ferrari cars from the 2000 season is expected to fetch up to $9.5 million at auction in Hong Kong next month, according to Sotheby’s.

The Ferrari F1-2000 was driven by Schumacher during his victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix, as well as when he earned pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix the same year.

That season marked the German driver’s first of five consecutive world titles with Ferrari and the team’s first championship for 21 years.

Over the course of the year, he recorded nine race wins and 12 podiums in total, wrapping up the world title ahead of Mika Häkkinen in the penultimate race at the Japanese Grand Prix.

The car will be displayed in Hong Kong at the start of April.

The Ferrari F1-2000, initially intended as a spare car for the seven-time world champion, will go up for auction with Sotheby’s next month and is expected to fetch between $7.5 million and $9.5 million.

“This chassis was a key contributor to ending Schumacher’s four-year Championship drought, launching and inalterably transforming Ferrari, Schumacher, and Formula One,” said Sotheby’s.

The car will be displayed at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre between April 1 and 5, then sold from April 3 to 12.

Last year, Schumacher’s F2003-GA, in which he recorded five race wins, became the most expensive Formula One car in history when it sold for $14.9 million in Geneva, Switzerland.

Prior to that, the record was held by Schumacher’s F2001 Ferrari, which sold for $7.5 million in 2017.

The 54-year-old suffered a brain injury sustained in a skiing accident in December 2013.

On January 6, his official Twitter account thanked followers for their birthday wishes alongside the hashtag “Keep Fighting Michael.”

Le Mans 24 Hours: Ferrari wins prestigious endurance race after 50-year absence

 

Ferrari may have had very little to cheer about in Formula One in recent years, but the Italian manufacturer made a triumphant return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans after a 50-year absence.

One of the most prestigious motor races in the world – and one part of motorsports’ ‘Triple Crown’ along with the Monaco Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500 – Le Mans is won by the team that covers the most distance in 24 hours.

Ferrari entered this race – the 100th anniversary of the event – in the new Hyperclass category, the top class with the fastest cars in the 2023 edition. This year’s top speed was an eye-watering 347.8 kilometers (216 miles) an hour set by Ferrari’s Antonio Fuocco.

The trio of former F1 driver Antonio Giovinazzi, Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado eventually ran out comfortable winners, covering 4,659.40 kilometers (2,895 miles) to usurp a Toyota Gazoo team that entered as the overwhelming favorite on a five-year winning streak.

Victory was Ferrari’s 10^th top level win at Le Mans and its first since 1965.

“For me and Alessandro it’s an even more special feeling,” Giovinazzi said, according to F1.

“We first drove this car last July, so to have achieved this result, pole and victory, after just under a year, is undoubtedly fantastic.

“It was by no means a given that we’d make it, but the entire team and my team mates did a great job, and here we are today.

“Thanks to Ferrari, who made all this happen. We are back to winning ways after 50 years, and we should be very proud.”

Ferrari’s F1 driver Charles Leclerc was watching on from the team’s garage and admitted he would one day like to compete at Le Mans.

“I mean, why not? Why not? I would love to, it’s an incredible event,” he told Eurosport.

“For sure, one day in my life I want to tick that box. When will it be, I don’t know. Again, I’m just extremely proud of what Ferrari has done today.”

Elsewhere, Hollywood star Michael Fassbender crashed out of the race during his stint behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 while racing for Germany’s Proton Competition.

Fassbender made his Le Mans debut last year, crashing out twice during the race but eventually finishing a very respectable 51^st out of 62 with Proton.

“We are gutted!” the Proton team tweeted. “Car #911 is no longer running the Le Mans 24 race.

“Few minutes before the end of his stint #MichaelFassbender lost control of the car and went into the barrier with no chances to repair the damage.

“Le Mans was no[t] kind to us this year!”
