A $1 Million Helmet Worn by Ayrton Senna? F1 Collectors Are Just Getting Started
On Saturday in Monaco, RM Sotheby's will offer the only race car that Michael Schumacher drove to win both the 2001 Formula One Monaco Grand Prix and the F1 World Championship title in the same season. Nicknamed the ' Crown Jewel,' the Ferrari F2001 has an estimated value of at least €15 million ($16.9 million).
The sale follows a wave of recent high-profile auctions indicating that the appetite for F1 mementos has never been stronger. Although F1 items used by the gods of the sport have always commanded strong hammer prices, the sheer number of online and live sales now offered from major auction houses hawking such paraphernalia—and the record prices achieved—is reaching a frenzied cadence.

Popular chicken chain menu brings back fan-favorite value combos
When fast-food chains and quick-service restaurants entered the industry and rose to fame in the 1950s, it was all about who had the best burger. This helped many burger-focused chains like McDonald's and Burger King become the giants they are today. However, trends evolve, and it's undeniable that many consumers now prefer chicken over other options, creating a "chicken craze" among chains. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter This has caused many in the food industry to shift their focus and launch new chicken-based products to dominate the market and boost sales. Major players like McDonald's (MCD) and Taco Bell have begun prioritizing chicken-based products, but following a food trend isn't enough to get people's attention amid a consumer spending slowdown.

Brands' (YUM) Taco Bell has become incredibly successful due to its insanely low prices and new chicken products, which are huge selling points for today's consumer. Now, KFC is taking a few tips from this successful brand. KFC first introduced Fill Ups in 2009 with the $5 Fill Up Box, which included various options consisting of fried chicken, fries, a biscuit, and a medium drink. The value combos became popular among consumers due to their incredibly low price, which is almost unheard of nowadays with the rising cost of food. This prompted the chicken chain to make the combos a seasonal, limited-time offering, offering slightly different options plus a dessert. Related: Popular fast-food burger chain to open first store in new market KFC last offered this $5 deal in summer 2024. However, the combos were much smaller, with some options providing no sides or dessert, and none offering a beverage. Inflation is very real, and keeping the same low prices it once offered became difficult for KFC over the years. Nonetheless, growing competition is a challenge that those in the food industry can never ignore. The chicken chain wanted to offer value deals to make consuming at its locations more desirable, allowing it to compete with rival chains that still provide similar offers. KFC is bringing back the popular Fill Ups, this time for $7 each and in partnership with F1: The Movie, which premieres in the U.S. on June 27. Customers can choose from four different $7 Fill Ups: One-Piece Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and a biscuit. The chicken can be Original Recipe or Extra Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and a biscuit. The chicken can be Original Recipe or Extra Tenders with mashed potatoes and gravy, a biscuit, and a choice of dipping Famous Bowl Each combo includes two pie poppers for a sweet finale and a medium beverage to wash it all down.
