A F1 chassis, which took Michael Schumacher to the first of his 91 Grand Prix victories, has been sold at auction for a huge sum.
The Formula 1 chassis used by Michael Schumacher to secure his first of 91 Grand Prix wins was recently auctioned off for a substantial amount.
This particular Benetton B192-5 chassis competed in five races during the 1992 season, marking Schumacher’s debut full season in F1 and designed by Rory Byrne, the architect of all seven of Schumacher’s championship-winning cars.
Schumacher’s victory in the Belgian Grand Prix showcased his exceptional wet-weather skills, clinching the win with a significant margin.
The historic car, the final manual transmission vehicle to win an F1 race, fetched €5,082,000 at auction, falling short of the estimated €8.5 million but still ranking among the highest prices for F1 cars sold.
This win solidified Schumacher’s reputation as a dominant force, propelling him towards further triumphs in the years to come, including his iconic run of seven titles starting in 1994.
