Ferrari F2004

The Ferrari F2004 represented the perfection of the V10 era. Designed for 2004, a season in which electronic aids were banned and greater reliability requirements were imposed, it was a radical evolution of the F2003-GA. It featured an ultra-compact rear wing, redesigned suspension to reduce tire wear, more integrated exhausts and a very low center of gravity. Its Ferrari 053 engine, a V10 of 3.0 liters, had to last the entire weekend of the race, without compromising performance. The set, optimized for Bridgestone, swept: 15 victories in 18 races, 12 poles and almost total supremacy. Schumacher won 13 of those tests and Ferrari won both titles with ease. The chassis was reused at the start of 2005 as the F2004M. Considered one of the fastest cars of all time, its lap records remained unbeaten for years.
