One of Michael Schumacher's winningest Ferraris is headed to auction.
For an entire generation, this is a defining Formula 1 car. Ferrari F2003-GA, chassis number 229, a car Michael Schumacher took to three poles and five wins. It's one of the most successful individual Schumi chassis and the most successful F2003., and we can't think of many more special cars on sale right now.
While 2003 came in the middle of Ferrari/Schumacher's dominance, it wasn't the blowout that previous year was, with Kimi Raikkonen finishing just two points behind Schumacher. Still, Schumi had six wins from sixteen races and two additional podiums. Ferrari actually started 2003 with a version of the dominant F2002, introducing the F2003-GA—the name paying tribute to recently-passed Fiat scion Gianni Angelli—at the Spanish Grand Prix.
RM Sotheby's says that Ferrari built six F2003s, and this one was refreshed at the factory last year, with just 148 miles on its refreshed engine, and other driveline components said to be in fresh condition. Ferrari's Corse Clienti program provides support for owners of old F1 cars who want to run them at various events around the world. So, think of this F2003 as being something like the ultimate track day car.
