Ferrari built its reputation on racing and one of the most important Formula 1 race cars to ever come out of Maranello is going up for auction. Here’s your chance to own a car that Michael Schumacher drove to four different victories.
Those were also the only four times that this car was used in competition, which makes it all the more special. It’s the only Ferrari Formula 1 car to run at least three races and win in every single race that it entered. In fact, the listing over on RM Sotheby’s website says that it’s the most successful undefeated Ferrari Formula 1 chassis across all eras of F1.
This car is chassis number 187 and is the seventh of nine total F300 cars built that year. The first of its wins came at the Canadian GP on June 7th of 1998 where Schumacher started third but managed to make his way to the front of the pack before the finish. It was the seventh race of the season and Schumacher’s second victory that year.

Within that same month, it won again on the 28th at the French Grand Prix coming from second to finish first. Schumacher made it three wins at Silverstone in the British GP on the 12th of July. The car’s final race and victory came late that year on September 13th at Monza in the Italian Grand Prix after starting on pole. That’s an all-star list of events where this very car came out on top at the hands of one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers ever.
The next year in 1999 the car was acquired by the current owner from Scuderia Ferrari. The buyer’s premium for the car will be 12 percent of the hammer price up to and including $250,000. That’s a pretty penny to pay on top of whatever this car will go for but we expect that the next owner won’t be too worried about such things.
