Pole Position: Senna’s Helmet, Schumacher’s Ferrari, and the F1 Gold Rush
05/20/25 • 48 min
Welcome to the rebooted RM Sotheby’s Car Show! New theme tune, sharper look—but the same unmatched banter. In this debut episode of the refreshed series, Peter, Felix and Will dive headfirst into the red-hot world of Formula One collectibles. From a world-record-breaking Ayrton Senna helmet to the upcoming sale of a legendary Schumacher Ferrari at Monaco, they explore why F1 memorabilia is commanding staggering prices. Is it history, hero worship, or just market momentum? Plus, a lively discussion on the future value of modern F1 machines, and what makes certain eras—and drivers—so collectible. It’s all speed, stats, and stories, with a surprise cameo from our youngest Ferrari fan. Buckle up.
