A FORMULA One simulator used by Michael Schumacher in his last Ferrari season has gone on sale for \u00a320,000.<\/p>\n

The auction for the iconic piece ends on November 14.<\/p>\n

It comes after a stunning collection of the F1 ace's memorabilia worth \u00a31.4million went up for auction in August.<\/p>\n

Schumacher's iconic 1994 Bell Benetton Formula 1 helmet was part of the collection along with an Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost signed Formula 1 Moet Champagne Bottle.<\/p>\n

The bottle was signed by the pair during the 1989 Formula 1 World Championship and was set to sell for \u00a37,800.<\/p>\n

Two other special helmets from Schumacher's career were expected to attract bids of up to \u00a320,000.<\/p>\n

One helmet – with a signed visor – was from the 2001 season, where it was worn during the Australian, Malaysian, and Brazilian Grand Prix events.<\/p>\n

Another was from the following season and was used in the Japanese and Hungarian Grand Prix events when he raced for Ferrari.<\/p>\n

The entire jaw-dropping collection was sold by RM Sotheby's in Monterey, California.<\/p>\n

An RM Sotheby\u2019s spokesperson said: "Among this treasured collection of artwork and automobilia are more than 75 lots of race-worn clothing and equipment spanning the breadth of Schumacher\u2019s career, including a selection of helmets from his earliest days in karting.<\/p>\n

\u201cFull Throttle \u00ad\u2013 The Schumacher Collection offers an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire precious automobilia from the career of one of the sport\u2019s true greats\u2014touchstones from the life of a legendary driver who changed the face of motorsport forever".<\/p>\n

Also in August, Schumacher's incredible Ferrari F2001b sportscar went up for sale for a staggering \u00a36million.<\/p>\n

The racing legend drove the 220mph 3.0-litre V10 cherry-red Ferrari when he won the 2002 Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

An RM Sotheby\u2019s spokesperson said: \u201cAmongst the most desirable of any modern-era\u00a0grand prix\u00a0cars in existence, chassis 215 played a significant role in the early days of the 2002 Formula 1 World Championship.<\/p>\n

Schumacher's iconic valuables have been listed at auctions after the driver suffered a severe brain injury during a devastating ski crash accident in December 2013.<\/p>\n

He was on the slopes above M\u00e9ribel in the\u00a0French Alps when he hit his head on a rock while crossing an off-piste area.<\/p>\n

Doctors said he would most likely have died had he not been wearing the safety gear, and the world champ was airlifted to Grenoble Hospital.<\/p>\n

He was put into a\u00a0medically induced coma\u00a0after suffering what was described as a "traumatic brain injury".<\/p>\n

The former\u00a0Ferrari\u00a0and\u00a0Mercedes\u00a0driver was\u00a0brought out of the coma\u00a0in June 2014 and was released to go and rehabilitate at his home in\u00a0Gland,\u00a0Switzerland.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old now lives a private life with his family with the tragic ski accident coming just over a year after he retired from F1 in 2012.<\/p>\n

He mounted a brief comeback for three seasons with the new Mercedes team after initially hanging up his helmet in 2006.<\/p>\n

In 2021, his family broke their eight-year silence on the seven-time world champion's condition in a\u00a0Netflix documentary examining his illustrious career.<\/p>\n
