We are proud to present an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Formula 1 history: the 1997 Ferrari F310B, exclusively driven by Michael Schumacher. As curators of investment-grade automobiles, we don't just sell cars—we preserve legacies. This unrestored, race-ready icon, acquired from a Ferrari executive board member, will be showcased at The Quail and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, offering collectors a chance to acquire a car with an unparalleled story.
In 1997, Ferrari's 50th anniversary year, the F310B marked a turning point for the Maranello team. Refined by legends John Barnard, Rory Byrne, and Ross Brawn, this car was a leap forward from its predecessor, boasting a more reliable 046/2 V10 engine, advanced aerodynamics, and a cutting-edge seven-speed gearbox actuation system. It was Ferrari's final wide-track racer before 1998 regulations, making this chassis a rare artifact of a pivotal era.
This very chassis carried Schumacher to victory at the 1997 Japan Grand Prix at Suzuka, one of five wins that season (Monaco, Canada, France, Belgium, and Japan). With 102 points, Ferrari mounted its strongest championship challenge since 1990. The F310B's most dramatic moment came at the 1997 Jerez finale, where Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve, separated by a single point, battled for the Drivers' Championship. In an unprecedented qualifying session, Schumacher, Villeneuve, and Heinz-Harald Frentzen posted identical times of 1:21.072—a statistical anomaly. The race itself became infamous when Schumacher's attempt to defend his lead resulted in a controversial collision, leading to his disqualification from the season but cementing this chassis place in F1 lore.
Unrestored and in as-raced condition, this chassis remains a living testament to Ferrari's relentless pursuit of excellence and Schumacher's uncompromising drive. Having seen limited track-day use, it is both a collector's masterpiece and a functional piece of motorsport history. This is more than a car—it's a Hollywood-worthy saga of triumph, controversy, and redemption.
Join us during Car Week 2025 as we unveil this special art piece at The Quail and Pebble Beach Concours to experience this iconic Ferrari F310B. For inquiries about this singular investment opportunity, contact our team of curators.
