Legendary Ferrari and McLaren Up for Auction by RM Sotheby’s

Old Rivals – Legendary Ferrari and McLaren Up for Auction by RM Sotheby’s

Two icons of F1 history—Schumacher’s title-winning Ferrari F2001 and Coulthard’s McLaren MP4-16—return to the spotlight at RM Sotheby’s auctions in Milan and Monte Carlo.

The Grand Prix de Monaco in 2001 was a race that made its mark on automotive history, securing Michael Schumacher his fourth win for that season. He would follow that up with a win at the Hungary Grand Prix and would also earn the F1 Championship title, making it a legendary year for Ferrari. The vehicle responsible for all of those incredible feats is the 2001 Ferrari F2001, put together by the most skilled design team at the Ferrari Scuderia. Its most significant challenger on the street circuit was the 2001 McLaren MP4-16, driven by 13-time Grand Prix winner David Coulthard. Both of these vehicles went head-to-head on the track in 2001 and are now taking the stage in two separate European RM Sotheby’s auctions. Though not a direct clash this time, both events will undoubtedly set new records.
