Michael Schumacher’s World Championship winning Ferrari, the F1-2000, has gone on show at the Donington Collection of Grand Prix racing cars. This is the first time one of Schumacher’s Championship winning cars has been shown in the museum, and will sit along side the flat-12 312B, driven by Clay Regazzoni, as well as Alberto Ascari's 500.

This Ferrari has been loaned to the museum by a private collector, who still uses it to compete in the Thoroughbred Grand Prix Championship. The Ferrari, in the hands of Schumacher, claimed three pole positions, and nine race wins going on to take the Championship, a first for Ferrari in 21 years.

The Rory Byrne designed Ferrari was a development of the F300 and F399 from the previous two seasons, using the same basic 850bhp V10 engine and seven-speed paddle-shift gearbox. Extensive aerodynamic improvements, along with better reliability made this the car that finally beat McLaren.

The Donington collection is home to the largest single collection of McLarens, as well as the only complete collection of Vanwalls in the world. Other key exhibits include the twin engined Alfa Romeo Bimotore which has over 500bhp, and a top speed of 200mph, Jim Clark's World Championship winning Lotus 25 and Stirling Moss' Lotus, which helped him defeat the Ferrari works team in the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix.
