Scuderia Ferrari dominated the 2004 Formula 1 season with its F2004, crushing its rivals by winning 15 of that year’s 18 races and sealing both world championships early.

In this video we tell the story of how Ferrari tried to get to the bottom of what it thought had gone wrong with the build of the car, which would take Michael Schumacher to his seventh and final driver’s world championship title.
