The Ferrari F2004 is one of the most dominant cars in Formula One history. The design of the car was based on the F2002 which was another successful car.
Moreover, in the 2005 season, Ferrari used an M version of this car. This was basically due to the development of their F2005’s development running late.
It is an iconic car with lots of legacy on its name. It is still a competitive car by the 2022 standards as Schumacher still has a record for the fastest laps in Magny-Cours, Monza, and Shanghai.
