A rare and unique 1:3 scale radio-controlled replica of the Ferrari F2002 Formula 1 car autographed by Michael Schumacher. 

1000 hours, three years from conception to realisation. 

An embodiment of Stéphane Andrist’s vision at Atelier Medicatech, this scaled-down replica of the Ferrari F2002 was signed by world champion Michael Schumacher in 2003.

Discover a masterpiece of engineering and craftsmanship: a 1:3 scale radio-controlled formula 1 car precisely inspired by the 2003 Ferrari world champion model, a perfect fusion of passion and precision.

It is a collector’s piece, a mobile work of art that captures the essence of the legendary Ferrari brand. Its meticulous design, blending aesthetics and technology, makes it an exceptional item for collectors and model enthusiasts. It captivates with its elegance, power, and authenticity. This miniature Formula 1 is an invitation to own a piece of dream, a captivating experience that transcends time and space.

Now offered for sale, seize the unique opportunity to add this extraordinary work of art to your collection, a symbol of perfection and automotive passion.

A history of precision.

We were looking for an exceptional and demanding project to serve as a common thread in the training of our apprentice mechanic. Since we are all passionate about F1 and fans of Michael Schumacher, the idea of building a replica of the world champion Ferrari seemed like an obvious choice.

Discover the epic tale of the construction of our remote-controlled replica of the Ferrari F2002 piloted by Michael Schumacher: a colossal project that engaged our team for three years, embodying the pinnacle of expertise, precision, and Swiss quality.

With an investment of 1000 hours of work, this collector’s item is more than just a model; it’s a true mechanical and artistic feat. At the heart of this project was a formative challenge for our apprentice mechanic, a journey marked by learning, innovation, and passion.

This project is the result of unprecedented teamwork. Each member of our company brought their unique expertise, creating perfect synergy among different trades. We pushed the boundaries of our skills to achieve a common goal: to bring this F1 legend to life.

The creation of the CAD plans, based on manual measurements of a 1:18 scale model, demonstrates our commitment to precision and detail. Every component of the replica, custom-made in our mechanical workshop, reflects our determination to push the limits of what’s possible.

Stéphane Andrist, master mechanic.

Our F1 project was a unique opportunity to combine my profession as a precision mechanic, my talent as a trainer, and my passion for model-making.

The Léman region, located in the heart of Europe, is a true hub of technology and innovation, reflecting the excellence and dynamism of Swiss expertise.

This is where we find Stéphane Andrist. Co-founder of Medicatech and head of its quality service, Stéphane has a federal mastery in precision mechanics. The family business, founded by his father in 1979, is a pioneer in the creation and maintenance of cutting-edge surgical equipment.

A model-making enthusiast, and a fan of Formula 1 and the Ferrari brand, Stéphane chose to use an existing tire model to determine the scale of the car.

Under the hood, two 4-stroke OS Pegasus F320 engines with opposing four cylinders, each 53.3 cm3. Also trained as a bodywork designer, he knows that this project can be achieved with respect for the finest technical and aesthetic details.

Training company, Medicatech hires Thierry de la Harpe as an apprentice in 1999. Following Stéphane’s vision and under his supervision, Thierry develops the necessary techniques to complete this unique piece, managing several stages independently.
Thierry de la Harpe receives the award for the best apprentice in his class (BOBST and GIM-CH prize) and receives a scholarship from the Lions Club to continue his engineering studies, which he completes with distinction.

A moment in history.

One day in November 2003, a car pulls up in our parking lot. Michael Schumacher steps out, dressed in gardening clothes. He had heard about our creation and asked us if we could give him a presentation.

Enthusiastic and thrilled, he offers to sign the rear spoiler as a token of his interest.

From the beginning of this adventure, we had dreamed that the global star Michael Schumacher would come to see this model of the Ferrari F2002 - which helped him win his title the previous year.

The region of La Côte, on the north shore of Lake Geneva, maintains a special relationship with Formula 1 champions - Alain Prost has been settled there for several years, and Michael Schumacher spends his off-season there with his family.

Enthusiastic support from the regional press, a mutual acquaintance, and an unexpected meeting at the local gas station led to the champion, who had just been crowned for the third time, hearing about the project.

Attentive and very comfortable, he was captivated by the story and the educational aspect of the project. He offered to sign the rear spoiler, specially reserved for him.

Specifications:

Except for the engine, shocks, differential, clutch, brake pads, and spoilers, all of the mechanical parts were manufactured in Medicatech’s workshops.

Length: 1786 mm.

Width: 728 mm.

Wheelbase: 1230 mm.

Minimum turning radius: 6021 mm.

Weight: 32 kg.

Estimated single-speed velocity at 80 km/h.

Tires: 10-inch kart tires at the front, 11 inches at the back.

Engines: 2 OS Pegasus F320 engines of 53.5 cm3 each, 4 opposing cylinders, 4 strokes coupled and mounted transversely in the chassis.

Transmission: centrifugal clutch, belt drive.

Suspensions: independent, double wishbone, 4 hydro-mechanical shock absorbers.

Brakes: ventilated disc with two hydraulic jaws per wheel.

Start of manufacturing: 2000.

End of manufacturing: 2003.

Thierry de la Harpe was awarded the epic professional school prize for his work at the end of his mechanic apprenticeship journey.

The car was exhibited at the Lausanne model-making fair in 2003 and tested during several presentations in Bière.
It has since been owned by the company Medicatech SA.

If you are unable or do not wish to bid live online on the auction day, we accept absentee commission bids, these need to be emailed to the auctioneer by Friday 28th of June prior to the auction, after which a confirmation email will be sent to you.

You will be required to declare your maximum limit, but the auctioneer will try and achieve the most inexpensive price for you subject always to the reserve price and competition from other bidders.

Alternatively absentee bids can be left in your online bidding account on the Graham Budd Live and Saleroom bidding platforms.

10. Telephone Bidding:

As an alternative, there will be a telephone bidding service for the auction. Please email the auctioneer to reserve a telephone line by Friday 28th of June prior to the auction.

The final selling bid at auction is known as the ‘hammer price'.

For bidders who have registered for the sale directly at Graham Budd Auctions, including for Live Internet Bidding, a buyer’s premium of 24% of the hammer price will be charged.

Bidders who registered directly at the-saleroom.com will be charged a 4.95% Internet bidders’ surcharge.
