Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari F300 up for auction in California

The Ferrari F300 driven by Michael Schumacher is set to go under the hammer at an auction event in California, Report informs via foreign media sources.

New-look Formula 1 challengers took to the track in 1998, the cars narrower and on grooved tyres rather than slicks following changes to the regulations.

Ferrari’s interpretation was the F300, although, in the early stages of the season, it was McLaren’s MP4/13, which proved to be the benchmark.

The Scuderia and Schumacher fought back, though, as an epic clash brewed between the German and Mika Hakkinen in pursuit of the Drivers’ Championship, that prize ultimately going the way of the Finn.

And now, the F300 chassis in which Schumacher claimed four of his six victories that season is up for auction at the Monterey Conference Centre in California, with the auction taking place from August 18-20.
