On 10 October 2004, Michael Schumacher won the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. It was his 13th victory of the season, adding one final win to an extraordinary campaign for the Ferrari driver.
Schumacher’s final victory of the 2004 season
Schumacher finished ahead of his brother Ralf Schumacher, driving for Williams, with Jenson Button third for BAR. Rubens Barrichello retired in the other Ferrari.
The result extended a season in which Schumacher and the F2004 had repeatedly set the competitive standard. His championship had already been secured, but the Japanese victory added another achievement to the campaign’s final record.
Suzuka was his last win of 2004. He ended the season with 13 victories, a total that remains a defining statistic of his most successful year by number of race wins.
Eugenio Castellotti’s birthday and other Ferrari podiums
10 October also marks the birthday of Eugenio Castellotti, born in 1930. His place in Ferrari’s 1950s racing history gives the date a connection to a much earlier generation of the team.
