Schumacher Ferrari F310B Formula 1 Car Up For Sale – Video

This gorgeous, raw, F310B example wrote Formula 1 history in the hands of the legendary Schumacher. It didn’t brought him any Championship titles, but it brought him the “fighter” notoriety.

Featuring a Ferrari Tipo046 75-degree V10 powerplant, the racecar led Schumacher to victory at Suzuka – the second to last race in the 1997 season – giving him a one point advantage against his direct competitor, Jaques Villeneuve.

Before the last race in Jerez started, Schumacher, Villeneuve & Frentzen achieved exactly the same time in the qualifying session; up to the thousandth of a second – an occurrence rarer than unicorns. Still, management decided that the first starting positions were allocated in the order in which the drivers left the pits in the session – with Villeneuve first, Schumacher second & Frentzen third. This was only a map of things to come.

Hoping for a Championship winning victory at Jerez, Schumacher drove hard & eventually took the lead for more than half a race. But then he unexpectedly started losing speed, while Villeneuve began breathing down his neck, fast approaching in his Williams.

As the Canadian started overtaking Schumacher, the German slammed into Villeneuve, trying to block his path – a controversial maneuver considered dirty to this day. After the unfortunate incident, karma struck Schumacher hard as he skidded in the gravel, abandoning the race while Villeneuve escaped unharmed & eventually continued racing to victory.

This very racecar, chassis number 178, is the one Schumacher drove into Villeneuve, trying to fight for the lead. If you don’t believe, us we attached a video with the events down below.

The starting bid of this incredible machine is “only” €650,000 ($733,187) over at Auctionata, but we all know it will fetch big bucks.
