The driver achieved victory in five races in the car and surpassed Aryton Senna’s pole position record.
This is a clear example of the necessity of the phrase “last but not least”.
RM Sotheby’s will auction off a Ferrari 248 Formula 1 race car driven by Michael Schumacher in his last season with the team next month.
He had already secured his place in motorsports history before he even drove this vehicle, but it still contributed significantly to enhancing his legacy.
There has been no driver-constructor partnership in F1 history as successful as Schumacher and Scuderia Ferrari, except maybe for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes-AMG Petronas.
During their eleven-year partnership from 1996 to 2006, the German player played a key role in bringing the team back to its successful streak, emerging as the top figure in the sport by winning five consecutive titles from 2000 to 2004.
It goes without saying that he drove many impressive race cars during that period, and it was in 248 when he experienced some of his biggest accomplishments.
