‘In the world of motorsport, Michael Schumacher’s name is accurately used to define the pinnacle of racing—synonymous with greatness, which we often hear referenced’, Shelby Myers, Head of Private Sales, RM Sotheby’s told Motor Sports News Wire.
‘There are, however, cars that Schumacher drove and perhaps won a race or two in, and then there are the few cars that truly define his legacy, such as chassis 254.
‘When we peel back the layers, very rarely does a Schumacher-era car carry as much weight as this one.’
