RM Sotheby\u2019s has a 2003 Ferrari F2003-GA for sale on November 9th<\/sup>. It\u2019s the very car with which Michael Schumacher secured his sixth world title, making him the most successful F1 driver ever at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is going to cost. RM Sotheby\u2019s expects chassis 229 to cost between 7.5 and 9.5 million Swiss francs, which is roughly the same in dollars and euros. But then again, this is a very rare piece of F1 history. Fully functioning on top of that, as demonstrated by Michael\u2019s son Mick who pulled a couple of laps on Ferrari\u2019s home circuit Fiorano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better than Fangio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The F2003 comes straight from Ferrari\u2019s wonder years in Formula 1, when the tandem Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne and Michael Schumacher were simply unstoppable. On October 12th<\/sup>, it was this chassis 229 in which Michael Schumacher wrote history at the Japanese Grand Prix<\/a>. The German took his sixth title, thereby surpassing Juan Manuel Fangio. It had been by Schumacher\u2019s own account a messy race and he had to be content with just the single point from 8th<\/sup> place. But sometimes that is all it takes to claim the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First race, first pole, first win<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2003 was no walk-over for the Scuderia. Ferrari had started the year with an updated F2002, but failed to net a victory in any of the first four races. By the Spanish GP, Ferrari introduced the new car, the F2003-GA. GA referenced to the recently deceased \u2018avvocato\u2019 Gianni Agnelli. The F2003-GA had a longer wheelbase that allowed different aerodynamic solutions. Schumacher instantly qualified his car, this car, on pole in Spain. He would take the first of five victories with chassis 229 there. Podium finishes in Monaco and at the French Grand Prix followed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fierce battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With stiff competition from the Williams-BMW squad and Fernando Alonso in the Renault and Kimi Raikkonen in the McLaren, the Scuderia saw its dominant position crumble. In the end, Raikkonen had a chance of winning the title. But with Schumacher\u2019s loyal lieutenant Rubens Barichello taking victory in Japan, and with Raikkonen second, the title was Schumacher\u2019s with just two points difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chassis 229 has always remained with Ferrari and the car has now been reconditioned by Corse Clienti, Ferrari\u2019s client racing department. The V10 currently has just 139 miles on it. On November 9th<\/sup>, in Geneva, comes the chance to not just own a very significant Ferrari F1, but to enjoy revving that 3-litre V10 with 930 hp all the way up to 19,000 rpm. Here is more info<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
