      That car was the F2001, which was sold in 2017 for £6.4m, almost half the price of the new record holder.
      The F2003 was the car in which Schumacher won his sixth Formula One world title.
      And five of Schumacher’s six victories that season came in the exact model sold in Geneva, along with two more podium finishes.
      Top Gear magazine revealed that the car was presented in “in full running order” after being rejuvenated by Ferrari.

      It is believed that Mick Schumacher, Michael’s son, had a look at the car to check it over at Ferrari’s private testing ground at Fiorano.
      Since the vehicle has stopped racing it has only covered 148 miles, mostly driven by Mick.
      The car’s final price surged past the £9m that it was expected to be sold for.
      Mick is currently racing for the American team Haas, but could be replaced by Nico Hulkenburg next season.

      World champion Max Verstappen reveals he could RETIRE from F1 in 2028 to try his hand at ‘few different kinds of racing’

      by

      TWO-TIMES World Champion Max Verstappen has revealed he could retire from F1 as soon as 2028. The Red Bull driver wrapped up his second Driver’s Championship last week after a chaotic Japanese Grand Prix.

      It was a stroll to the title for Verstappen who has dominated the second-half of the season.
      And the star celebrated the achievement in style with his McLaren driver pal Lando Norris.
      With the star only 25 and showing no signs of slowing down, Red Bull might have hoped for a long and successful dynasty with Verstappen at the helm.
      But the Dutchman has revealed he may only stay in F1 until 2028, when his long-term deal with the team expires and he will only be 31.

      He told Sky Sports: “I don’t see myself driving until I’m 40 because I want to also do other stuff.
      “I’m having a lot of fun with what I’m doing right now and I’m still in F1 for a couple more years… I’m signed until ’28.
      “After that, it also depends how everything is going but I will probably try to do a few different kinds of racing because it’s important also to try different things.”
      But he added: “I really enjoy being part of this team for a long time and hopefully for a long time to come.”

      In recent years F1’s most successful drivers have tended to stay on the grid deep into their careers.
      The best example is Fernando Alonso who returned to the sport last year and is 41-years-old.
      Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton is 37 and has recently signalled he could be driving well into his 40s as well.
      But as F1’s youngest ever driver, Verstappen entered the sport far earlier than either of them.
      Verstappen’s stock is currently very high after his controversial title win in Abu Dhabi last year and his far more dominant win this year.
      It had appeared Red Bull would face a real battle with Ferrari this year but the famous Italian team’s season came undone due to team errors and reliability issues.
      In contrast, Verstappen repeatedly impressed with a series of stunning drives, most notably at the Belgian Grand Prix and the race in Hungary. More

      The model claims she furiously went over to Ibrahimovic, 41, to tell him to move his car that was blocking her vehicle in and it was love at first sight.
      She told Elle magazine: “He had parked his Ferrari badly in a car park in Malmo. He had done so in a way that prevented my Mercedes from coming out.
      “Quite gruffly, I told him to move it right away. And yes, he saw something that he liked.”
      Both her and the former Manchester United star are known for their sometimes fiery personality and dedication to their profession.

      Seger said: “It’s not easy to live with him, but I admit it, it isn’t with myself either.
      “I think I like Zlatan because I stand up to him, I too have an important background and I have built my career with a lot of sacrifice.”
      The couple have two sons – Maximilian, 16, and Vincent, 14 – but despite Ibrahimovic and Seger being together since 2002 they are not married.
      She lifted the lid on why they haven’t tied the knot: “Getting married could disturb my sense of independence.

      “I don’t want to be labelled simply as the wife of a player, or the winner of a beauty contest.
      “I think people don’t know how much I have studied, worked and fought.”
      Seger is a model and also manages her business portfolio with reports suggesting she is in charge of a real estate company in Italy.
      Ibrahimovic won the Serie A title last season with AC Milan but he is yet to feature this campaign as he is out with a bad knee injury.
      There has been claims it could force him into retirement but the 14-time league winner dismissed speculation saying: “I am arrogant, zero fear. I’m well, I’m working every day to come back.
      “You will surely see it. When I come back, I will be heard, you can count on it. I will do it with violence.”

      The seven-time F1 world champion has failed to win a single race this year.
      And Hamilton is currently sixth in the rankings, 167 points behind leader Verstappen.
      Most of the Brit’s problems stem from his poor Mercedes car, which has let him down on several occasions this term.
