Michael Schumacher’s old race suits and helmets are going under the hammer as his family charity put the items up for sale\"MichaelMichael Schumacher’s racing attire has gone to auction(Image: Jam Press\/Bonhams)<\/p>\n

F1 legend Michael Schumacher’s <\/a>old race suits and helmets are going under the hammer.<\/p>\n

The seven-times world champion has 14 items up for sale <\/a>– with a Benetton, Mercedes Benz and Ferrari suit all up for auction. Three helmets, five signed prints, two commemorative coins and a Formula One car suspension cover<\/a> are the other lots.<\/p>\n

Estimates haven’t been revealed yet, as reported by What’s The Jam<\/a>. The Schumacher Lounge Online Auction online is being hosted by Bonhams from Friday, (29 Aug) to Friday, (19 Sept).<\/p>\n

The highlight of the auction is undoubtably Schumacher’s Scuderia Ferrari race suit he wore during the 2000 Hungarian Grand Prix – however it will set bidders back a pretty penny with prices starting from \u20ac30,000 (\u00a325, 850).<\/p>\n

Schumacher qualified on pole position for the Grand Prix and finished in second behind Mika Hakkinen. \u201cIt was good to take the pole for this race, where it so difficult to overtake,\u201d said Schumacher at the time.<\/p>\n

\"Benetton-RenaultOne of the items is his Benetton-Renault 1995 Pacific Grand Prix weekend used overalls(Image: Jam Press\/Bonhams)\"MichaelMichael Schumacher Ferrari jacket is one of the highlights<\/p>\n

However, Schumacher’s Benetton-Renault 1995 Pacific Grand Prix overalls have a higher starting price.<\/p>\n

The overalls are eye-catching with a blue, yellow and green colour scheme and sponsors logos, belt with driver name and flag, photo matched to the event.<\/p>\n

Schumacher qualified in 3rd place behind Damon Hill and David Coulthard, but after two quick pit-stops he would take the chequered flag en rout to overall victory during the 1995 season.<\/p>\n
