Monza “perfect spot” to celebrate Michael Schumacher
Sabine Kehm, Managing Director of the Keep Fighting Foundation, confirmed the Schumacher family are proud of the auction.
“Monza certainly is the perfect spot to celebrate Michael’s legacy, with him making many glorious memories with the Scuderia Ferrari; the ultimate Italian team,” she said.
“This combination feels just right – especially given the 30th anniversary of Michael’s win in Monza.
“As Keep Fighting Foundation, and together with Michael’s family, we could not be prouder than seeing his legacy honoured in such a respectful but also joyful way as the Schumacher Lounge is doing it now for a second time in a row. That outstanding hospitality is perfectly situated right at the race track where the Ferrari team will also display a special livery in Michael’s honour.”
James Garguilo, Bonhams Motorsport specialist, confirmed Bonham’s delight at hosting the auction.
“We’re honoured to be invited back following the success of last year’s auction, and incredibly proud to be joining the Schumacher Lounge once again.
“This year promises to be bigger in every sense – a bigger event and an even bigger sale. Most importantly, we’re delighted to be working alongside The Keep Fighting Foundation to help raise vital funds for an incredibly important cause.”
