Though Michael Schumacher ultimately lost out to Mika Hakkinen – the opponent he most respected – that year, the Ferrari legend still recorded six race victories in the 1998 Formula One season. Four of them came via this: the 3.0-litre V10-engined, 800bhp F300.
For the first time in its history, the F300 is now being publicly offered for sale at RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction next month. And considering it’s a) a red Ferrari, b) been driven by Michael Schumacher, and c) a bona-fide race-winning car, it’s gonna be expensive.
Ferrari kept hold of chassis 187 until September 1999, at which point it was sold privately – and directly – to a customer who’s kept it ever since. It’s still in the same used condition, and the car’s literally never been restored or changed from its 1998 spec.
So yeah, it’s gonna be expensive. RM estimates it’ll go for between $6m to $8m, though who knows with something like this. Your guess?
