13 million Swiss francs (equivalent to about 13.1 million euros) is not only a record for a Formula 1 car, but also exceeds the expectations of the auction house. They were expecting nearly ten million for the highest bidder.
The previous record was set by Schumacher’s car since 2001, which was auctioned in 2017 for about $ 7.5 million.
