A chance to own a piece of F1 history.
Throughout Formula 1’s illustrious history, more than 777 drivers have graced racing grids worldwide to compete at the highest level of motorsport. Of those who have dedicated their lives to the sport, a few names carry monumental significance among past, present, and future fans of F1. Alongside icons like Ayrton Senna and Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher established legendary status with a 19-year career that includes a record-setting seven Formula One World Drivers’ Championship titles.
The 2006 F1 season stands out as Schumacher’s most memorable, as it was his last year racing for Scuderia Ferrari F1 before retiring for the first time. To this day, the Schumacher name echoes throughout the halls of the team’s HQ in Maranello with trophies, race cars, and other accolades that honor the former German racing driver. Today, the auction professionals at RM Sotheby’s are proud to announce the upcoming sale of Michael Schumacher’s 2006 Ferrari 248 F1 as part of its event in New York City.
The 2006 Ferrari 248 became part of Schumacher’s five incredible Grand Prix wins during his last season with Ferrari, including memorable victories at San Marino, the European Grand Prix, and his final home win in Germany. For Schumacher fans and F1 memorabilia collectors, this is a piece of racing history loaded with achievements and milestones that made Schumacher’s career so legendary. What makes this Ferrari 248 F1 even more special? For starters, it’s the exact car Schumacher drove to break Ayrton Senna’s record for pole positions and achieve his final career pole and win. This example is also Ferrari Classiche certified, meaning it retains all its original, matching parts, just as it was back in 2006. With Scuderia Ferrari’s V8 capable of hitting an impressive 20,000 rpm, the 248 chassis represents an era of raw power and peak performance limits in racing that we’ll never witness again. Notably, it’s been in private ownership since 2007, meaning it’s preserved some serious Ferrari magic.
If you’re a collector or just love the excitement of F1 racing, RM Sotheby’s will be auctioning the iconic F1 car on November 14. A rare chance to connect with Schumacher’s legacy, it’s not every day that a car like this comes along.
