The Ferrari with which Michael Schumacher lost the 1998 F1 World Championship in the Suzuka showdown to McLaren\u2019s Mika Hakkinen is up for private sale with an asking price of $4.9 million.<\/p>\n

The chassis, which also set pole position and finished second in the Luxembourg Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in Schumacher\u2019s hands, went into the Suzuka finale four points behind Hakkinen.<\/p>\n

Although Schumacher qualified on pole, his race went wrong before the start when he stalled on the formation lap, meaning he started at the tail of the grid.<\/p>\n

He stormed his way through the pack and was running third when he ran over debris from a previous collision between two other cars, and his tyre deflated three laps later. That allowed Hakkinen to cruise to his first F1 World Championship title.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all I want to congratulate Mika Hakkinen and his team,\u201d said Schumacher. \u201cThey performed better throughout the season and so they deserve the title. I think we did not lose this championship in Suzuka, but in the early stages of the season, when we were too far behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not feel too disappointed, because I think the team can be proud of what we achieved this season. I feel sad for the boys, as all their hard work did not pay off in the end. The engine stalled because the clutch did not free itself and I do not know why. All the work this weekend was then wasted as I had to start from the back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first couple of laps were good fun. All the other drivers were very fair and did not try and make life difficult for me. I did not expect a rear tyre to explode as I had problems with a flat-spotted front, which caused a lot of vibration.\u201d<\/p>\n
