Michael Schumacher is one of the most successful and, according to many, the best Formula 1 driver in history. But, since 2013 when he suffered a severe brain injury in a skiing accident, his life is now different. During his career he became the owner of some of the best sports cars and one of them, the 2005 Ferrari F430 Spider, which he gave to his father is for sale.

This Ferrari F430 Spider is finished red over Cuoio leather. It is powered by a 4.3L V8 engine with 490 hp (360 kW) and 343 lb-ft (465 Nm) of torque. The car was designed by Pininfarina with aerodynamic simulation programs used for Formula 1 cars. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph). It has only 29,301 kilometers on the odometer.

Michael’s current condition is unknown to the public. Sometimes some information leaks out, but it is unverified. Former Ferrari Formula 1 team boss Jean Todt sometimes visits him at his family home in Switzerland, once saying: “Michael is here, so I don’t miss him. But he’s just not what he used to be. He’s different and he’s being looked after his wife and children. They protect him.”

This is not the first car to be sold that is related to Schumacher. The 1998 Ferrari F300, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and the 2003 Formula 1 car (14 million euros) were sold before it.
