ANKARA (AA) - Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher's Ferrari F2003-GA car was sold for $14.8 million at an auction in Geneva on Wednesday.

"From World Champion to world record holder, the most successful Ferrari F2003-GA car is now the most valuable modern F1 car in history. The car Michael Schumacher drove en route to his sixth title has sold for CHF14,630,000 ($14,873,327 USD) at Sotheby's Luxury Week in Geneva," RM Sotheby's said on Twitter.

In 2017, another Schumacher-driven Ferrari, which was F2001, was sold for $7.5 million by Sotheby's in New York.

Germany's Schumacher, 53, remains in recovery since suffering a head injury in a skiing accident in December 2013.

He was placed in a medically induced coma for several months after the accident. His family was allowed to move him back home in September 2014.
