Ferrari<\/a> for the 1996 campaign.<\/p>\nThe first Benetton Schumacher raced was the B191, which he drove from the 1991 Italian Grand Prix through to the 1992 Brazilian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Schumacher took a maiden victory at Spa almost exactly one year on from his debut with Jordan at the same venue.<\/p>\n
That very car, with chassis number B192-05, is now up for auction at Broad Arrows.<\/p>\n
The Rory Byrne-designed challenger was powered by a Ford engine and is the final car in F1 history to have won a grand prix with a manual transmission.<\/p>\n
B192-05 is set to go under the hammer with an estimated price tag of \u20ac8.5 million, and has never before been sold to the public.<\/p>\n
The 1992 Belgian Grand Prix marked the first of 91 F1 victories for Schumacher in a career that saw him become arguably the greatest of all time.<\/p>\n

After winning two titles with Benetton, Schumacher\u2019s move to Ferrari would ultimately lead to one of the most dominant periods in F1 history.<\/p>\n
He took a third world title in 2000, marking the first of four in succession with the Scuderia.<\/p>\n
His 91st and final F1 victory came in 2006 at the Chinese Grand Prix, with Schumacher retiring at the end of that year.<\/p>\n
However, he returned to F1 in 2010 with Mercedes, albeit to far less success than he enjoyed in his first stint in the series.<\/p>\n
He retired for good at the end of the 2012 campaign, having taken just one podium in three years with the Silver Arrows.<\/p>\n
