Despite Scuderia Ferrari’s presence in the Formula One World Championship since its 1950 inception, the team has never known a period of sustained dominance to match what it achieved at the turn of the millennium, from 1998 to 2004. After signing German sensation Michael Schumacher—already a two-time World Champion with Benetton—for the 1996 season, the Scuderia built around him a “super team” that was quite simply unstoppable.

Presented here is a signed OMP racing suit believed to have been worn by Schumacher on 14 September 2003 during the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. He started from pole position and set the race’s fastest lap en route to a first overall finish, ahead of Juan Pablo Montoya in second and Rubens Barrichello in third. The 2003 season would mark Michael Schumacher’s fourth consecutive year winning the Formula One Driver’s Championship with Scuderia Ferrari.
