The vehicle of the legendary German racing driver Michael Schumacher was auctioned at Sotheby’s for a record sum of $14.8 million, as reported by Forbes.
With this car, Schumacher was crowned Formula 1 World Champion for the sixth time with Ferrari in 2003.
The previous record price for a vehicle was reached in 2007 when the car from the German Championship of 2001 was sold for $7.5 million.
It is important to note that Michael Schumacher suffered a severe traumatic brain injury on December 29, 2013, while skiing in the French Alps.
Since then, the 53-year-old German has not appeared publicly.
His wife has reported that the legendary racing driver is no longer able to move independently.
