Last week I was in Malia in Crete and on one of the main roads to the beach was an entertainment complex that consisted of a shopping centre, bowling alley, cinema and an arcade.
At the front of the complex next to the road was a stand that had an F1 car with a sign next to it that said it was an F1 car that Michael Schumacher drove in 2001.

Notice
The photo of the sign isn't very clear (it was taken about 3am and the flash reflected on the laminate) but it says something to the effect it was a car that Schumacher drove in 2001 to 9 wins and 5 pole positions.
The photo showing the front of the car gives a good view of the tyres which were absolutely wrecked - you can probably see from the photo they're just about bald but close up they were totally cracked with rubber hanging off the side as though they'd been used in an F1 race.
I was just wondering if you thought this was a genuine F1 car raced by Schumacher? It just seemed weird one of his cars was sitting by the roadside in Greece.
If so how much do you think it would be worth?
It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, about 7 feet long and when I went and sat in it it felt very flimsy - OK it's made of fiberglass but it was almost as if I sneezed on it it would fall to bits.
Just wondering if you thought I had actually sat in one of the F1 cars Schumacher had driven or if it was a hoax?
