The Crown Jewel: Michael Schumacher’s Monaco-winning 2001 Ferrari F2001 Chassis 211

The Ferrari F2001 was a cornerstone of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari’s record-setting, multiple Formula 1 World Championship-winning pomp at the turn of the 21st century. Chassis 211 holds the remarkable distinction of being the only Ferrari aboard which the German sensationally won both the FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2001 and Drivers’ title in the same season. Remarkably, this same chassis also carried Schumacher to victory in the FORMULA 1 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX 2001—and that was the moment the Scuderia clinched the 2001 Constructors’ crown. Furthermore, chassis 211 is the last Ferrari F1 car to memorably win the FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2001 in a Championship-winning year. A two-time Grand Prix winner and with a brace of World Championships to its name, chassis 211 is among the most significant of modern-day racecars.

Almost 25 years on from its history-making season, this extraordinary and significant Ferrari racecar returns to Monte Carlo where it will be offered in a historic standalone auction to coincide with the FORMULA 1 TAG HEUER GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2025, spearheading Formula 1’s first-ever Monaco Grand Prix sale. Simply iconic and a foundation of modern Formula 1 lore, this is your opportunity to add to this storied F2001’s fascinating and unrepeatable Monaco heritage. 

A charitable donation will be made from the proceeds to Michael Schumacher’s Keep Fighting Foundation. For more information please visit http://www.keepfightingfoundation.org/
