An amazing piece of memorabilia - a signed F1 Ferrari Racing Glove with an action photo framed from the 7 x World Champion.
Michael Schumacher was born in 1969, he is a seven-time world champion and according to the Formula One Website is "statistically the greatest driver the sport has ever seen".
He holds many of the Formula's driver records including - most championships, race victories, fastest laps, pole positions, points scored and most races won in a single season - 2004.
In 2002 he became the only driver in the sport to complete an entire season finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd in all races.
After beginning in the sport with go-karts, he won German drivers championships in Formula Konig and Formula 3, before joining Mercedes in the World Sportscar Championship.
He signed as a driver for the Benetton Formula 1 team in 1991, after winning consecutive championships with Benetton in 1994/1995 he moved to Ferrari in 1996 and won another 5 consecutive drivers titles with them from 2000 to 2004.
Michael and his younger brother Ralf are the only brothers to win races in Formula One and they were the first brothers to finish 1st and 2nd in the same race in Montreal in 2001 and again in 2003.
He retired from Formula One driving in 2006, staying with Ferrari as an advisor. He then signed a 3 year contract to drive for the new Mercedes GP Team in 2009.
Off track he is an ambassador for UNESCO and a spokesman for driver safety. He has been involved in numerous humanitarian efforts through his life and donated tens of millions of dollars to charity.
An incredible item to bid on, and support a great cause!
