The Ferrari F1-2000 is one of the most iconic cars in Formula One history. In the 2000 season, the legendary seven-time champion Michael Schumacher won the world championship with it, his first title in the Italian stable. The car is due to head to auction in April this year.
The Ferrari F1-2000 is one of the most iconic cars in Formula One history. In the 2000 season, the legendary seven-time champion Michael Schumacher won the world championship with it, his first title in the Italian stable. The car is due to head to auction in April this year.
It was Michael Schumacher’s first car at Ferrari, with which he won the championship in 2000. The German driver scored nine wins in seventeen races in that year’s edition, scoring 108 points to claim the overall championship.
This was his third overall title in the 2000 season, and he had a comfortable lead of nineteen points over second-placed Mika Häkkinen in the McLaren, even considering the scoring at the time.
The Italian team from Maranello also finished first in the Constructors’ Cup, with the pairing of Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello scoring 170 points between them. Ferrari had an eighteen-point lead over second-placed McLaren.
The V10-engined Ferrari F1-2000 will enter RM Sotheby’s auction in April this year, with the auction to be held in Hong Kong.
Indeed, Schumacher scored many victories, pole positions or fastest laps during his time at Ferrari.
But there is something special about the Ferrari F1-2000. For Schumacher has only taken one pole position in Monaco during his entire tenure with the Italian outfit. And that’s with the car that will go to auction in April.
And what’s the idea of the sale price? Ferrari’s 2003 winning car sold at auction for a record amount in November 2022, when it was bought by an unnamed buyer for $14,630,000. That’s roughly 321,830,000 crowns in our currency.
A 2001 Schumacher car (F2001) sold for half of the above amount in 2017, specifically for $7,504,000 (165 million crowns).
