Schumacher’s Legendary Ferrari F2001 Heads To Auction

One of the most iconic cars from Formula 1 history has just reappeared, and it’s not just some dusty garage queen—it’s the Ferrari F2001 that Michael Schumacher drove to victory at the Monaco Grand Prix. For motorsport fans, that sentence alone might cause chills.

This isn’t just another collectible. This Ferrari F2001 is a machine that won the crown jewel of F1 races in 2001 with Schumacher behind the wheel. The same year, he dominated the season with nine wins and clinched his fourth world championship. And get this—he didn’t just win in Monaco. He also took this very car to victory in Hungary, which is where he sealed that year’s title. That’s two milestone wins with one chassis.

The F2001 represents the golden age of Ferrari’s dominance, and Schumacher was at the peak of his powers. The car was designed by a dream team of engineers, including Ross Brawn and James Allison. Underneath the red bodywork sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V10 engine, screaming out somewhere around 825 horsepower. All of that is routed through a 7-speed semi-auto gearbox. And because it only weighs about 600 kg (1,323 lbs), it’s fast in the kind of way that makes today’s road cars look like golf carts.

Unlike many historic F1 cars that are retired into silence, this one has been fully overhauled by Ferrari just this year. That means it’s ready to drive—on actual racetracks, not just a parade lap at Pebble Beach. Whoever buys it will be eligible to participate in Ferrari’s exclusive Corse Clienti program, which lets you take these beasts out on legendary circuits around the world with full factory support.

RM Sotheby’s is handling the sale through its private Sealed division, which means the final sale price probably won’t be made public. But let’s be real—it’s going to be north of $10 million. Maybe even way north. For now, the listing is live. So if you’ve got a deep wallet and a soft spot for one of the greatest drivers in F1 history, this might just be the ultimate Ferrari flex.
