Inside Michael Schumacher’s final, most dominant, World Championship

Inside Michael Schumacher’s final, most dominant, World Championship

With 13 wins from 18 races, Michael Schumacher’s seventh and final World Championship was his best season in Formula 1.

Still to this day, Schumacher is the only driver to have won five titles in a row as he and Ferrari dominated F1 from 2000 to 2004.

So why was the German at his most ruthless during that last triumph in ‘04?

20 years on, Tom Clarkson speaks to McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella (Michael’s performance engineer in 2004), Sabine Kehm (Michael’s media and PR consultant in 2004) and Ferrari Sporting Director Diego Ioverno (Ferrari’s gearbox engineer in 2004) for unique insight into how Michael obliterated his opposition that season, what he was like to work with and how it felt to be part of the most successful period in Ferrari’s F1 history.
