The chassis 198 Ferrari F2000 Michael Schumacher drove to victory at the 2000 Brazilian Grand Prix is coming up for auction.
. It will be a sealed auction that requires interested parties to send one sealed bid from April 3-12.
The Ferrari F2000 marked the beginning of the Ferrari-Schumacher championship dynasty. Schumacher joined Ferrari in 1996 after two championship seasons with Benetton seeking to revive the team, but that didn't come to fruition until 2000, when the German won the drivers' title, while Ferrari won the constructors' championship. Schumacher and Ferrari went on to dominate F1 through the 2004 season.
The car up for auction is chassis 198, which Schumacher drove to victory at the 2000 Brazilian Grand Prix, as well as the pole position and fifth overall at that year's Spanish Grand Prix. Notably, this is also the car Schumacher drove to a pole position at the 2000 Monaco—his only pole with Ferrari at that prestigious race. Schumacher nearly took victory at that race as well but retired with a broken pushrod.
