# data.attributes.body.value
For the second time in its life, Michael Schumacher’s F2001 has become the most expensive Ferrari F1 car ever sold at auction, after going under the hammer for £13.4m big ones (or $18.2m slightly smaller ones) in Monaco this weekend.

Rewind seven-and-a-half years and this exact chassis fetched about half that – $7.5m, or closer to $10m today – when it became the most expensive F1 car in history.

That title now belongs to the Mercedes W196 R, of course, having shifted for a frankly obscene £42.6m earlier this year. How the other half live, eh?

The 3.0-litre V10-engined F2001 was the car with which Schumi clinched his second world championship for Ferrari (and fourth overall). He won nine grands prix that season, including Monaco, and so dominant was he that victory in Hungary sealed the deal… in August. With four races to spare.

Overseen by RM Sotheby’s, a donation will be made to the Keep Fighting Foundation – the charity set up after the tragic skiing accident that left Michael with severe brain injuries – from the proceeds of the sale.

Wonder how long it’ll be before this thing is rolled out to break its own record again?
