Michael Schumacher's 2003 title-winning Ferrari car is going up for auction and is tipped to land up to £8million. The car in question - named Chassis 229 - was driven nine times by Schumacher on the way to securing his sixth world championship.
Schumacher's 2003 model will go up for sale in Geneva, according to RM Sotheby's sales. Revealing the rarity of the item, Sotheby's executive assistant Vincent Luzuy said: "[It's] special because this car is one of the only four cars with more than four wins in the Ferrari history and especially with one of the most skilled driver of his generation, Michael Schumacher."
On the auctioneers' website, the 2003 Ferrari car is noted as one of the Prancing Horse's most successful vehicles. Schumacher won five races in it, in Spain, Austria, Canada, Italy and the United States.
