Ferrari F1

 
 Since 1950 Ferrari has been at the peak of F1. When the titles come along, and there have been many, the season 
 has been viewed positively. But even when championships were not won, the scuderia was at the centre of things.

 Success hasn't always come along and there have always been times of hardship. Racing will always be fundamental
 to Ferrari and the scuderia has never once thought of pulling out.

 The 2004, given the name 655, represents an evolution of the F2003-GA. All of the main parts of the car were
 revised with the aim of getting the maximum levels of performance from the 053 engine and the Bridgestone tyres.

 The 053 engine was created to be as reliable as possible as the new rules stipulated that it had to last twice as
 long as its predecessor: an entire race weekend. All this while also trying to up the performance. The aerodynamic
 configuration was optimized in the light of the rule changes, making the car even more efficient. The centre of
 gravity of the F2004 was lower than on previous models and the weight distribution of the engine and the chassis
 was perfected. The chassis was new in it design, it's construction was improved and it also weighed less. The
 bodywork, radiators, exhausts and the rear of the single-seater were redesigned, further improving the airflow.

 The front and rear suspension were looked at again in order to improve the dynamic handling of the car and so
 exploit the Bridgestone as much as possible, as well as optimizing the whole aerodynamic package.
