A classic Ferrari F1 car driven by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher is set for auction.
The 2006 Fer🐽rari 248 F1 could become one of the most expensive F1 cars ever purchased when it goes under the hammer with RM Sotheby’s in Nov👍ember.
Schumacherဣ drove this🦩 car in his final season before retiring (for the first time), in 2006.
The legenꦫdary driver won five grands prix in the 254 chassis a꧑s he battled Fernando Alonso, who ultimately won the F1 title that season.
It means this car 🧜is Schumacher’s final Ferrari F1 machine.
After a three-year retirement he returned to drive for Mercedes but never recreated his🔥 Ferrari heyday.
The im𓂃mense historical value has been described as Schumacher’s “final masterpiece” by the 🐟auctioneers.
The car was purchased directly from Ferrari by iౠts only owner since.
This was also Ferrari’s fi🐼rst V8-powered Formula 1 car since 1964. In t♏his chassis, Schumacher beat Ayrton Senna’s pole position record.
“In the world of motorsport, Michael♏ Sc🌞humacher’s name is accurately used to define the pinnacle of racing - synonymous with greatness, which we often hear referenced,” said Shelby Myers, Head of Private Sales, RM Sotheby’s.
“There are, however, cars that Schumacher drove and perhaps won a race or two in, and then there are the few cars that truly define his legacy, such as chassis 254. Whꦿen we peel back the layers, very rarely does a Schumacher-era car carry as much weight as this one.
🥂“My professional acumen involves determining what some of the world’s truly great cars are, especially tho🔯se which we believe will be among the most important of all time for generations to come.
“There is no question that we consider the competition variants of any manufacturer the most sought-after. This has been true for every era▨ of car collecting.
“As we triangulate what truly defines greatness, intrinsic characteristics such as manufacturer brand equity, astonishing aesthetic beauty, associated racing drivers, absolute rarity, significant ownership provenance, and so forth all factor into the equation. Perhaps the single most important defining characteristic among these elite competition cars is their ra🧸cing record.
“Chassis 254 is at the very top of the pyramid. Never before has anything carrying the Schumacher name come to public sale with more wins or p🃏odium finishes.
“In fact, there is only one other chassis with more wins than chassis 254. In his last season with Ferrari, this car defined the legacy of perhaps the great👍est driver in history, competing with 𒉰one of the most storied automotive brands of all time. It truly does not get better.”
