On August 20, RM Sotheby's will offer the Ferrari F300 piloted to four victories by the seven-time World Champion during the 1998 season.
The Ferrari F300 race car driven by Michael Schumacher to four Grand Prix victories during the 1998 Formula 1 season. It’s no secret that Enzo Ferrari built street cars to support his racing efforts—especiallywhich was, from the marque’s beginning, at the top of the motorsports pyramid. Historic F1 cars are the big game of the collector car world, though they pose none of the legal or ethical challenges like bagging a bull elephant or a mother white rhino.
Chassis No. 187 saw its first checkered flag in the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, with Schumacher setting the fastest lap with a 16-second lead. Subsequent victories in France and Britain pit Ferrari squarely against McLaren-Mercedes for Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles. Shortly after, Schumacher won the Italian Grand Prix, securing a career win for the 33rd time.Kevin Van Campenhout, courtesy of RM Sotheby's.
In 1999, Scuderia Ferrari privately sold its F1-champion race car directly to its first owner in unrestored, as-raced condition, the same state of preservation in which the vehicle remains today. Kept discreetly away from view, it is being offered for the first time in a public sale by RM Sotheby’s on Saturday, August 20, and is estimated to fetch as much as $8 million.
