Formula 1 Review 2004


The 2003 season was unprecedented, but 2004 was just remarkable. Thirteen wins of out eighteen handed Michael Schumacher his record breaking seventh FIA Formula 1 Drivers Championship Title.

To say that Michael's ruthless domination of the sport was the only story of 2004 is just not true. McLaren and Williams fell by the wayside with only one win each, leaving Renault and BAR to pick though the pieces.

This year marked Jenson Button's meteoric rise to become a genuine Championship contender. Ride on-board with Jenson as he hits almost 19,000 rpm taking his first ever pole position in Imola.

Witness Jarno Trulli prove his critics wrong by seizing pole position and victory at the glittering street circuit of Monaco. Then watch as it all falls apart on the last lap at the Formula 1 Mobil 1 Grand Prix De France 2004.

Listen to Takuma Sato's team radio at the start of a race, experience the return of Jacques Villeneuve and that crash that put Ralf Schumacher out for much of the season.

2004 saw East meet West with new circuits in Bahrain and China that brought out the best and worst in Michael Schumacher.

Watch the record-shattering season unfold from a multitude of on-board cameras, exclusive interviews and unseen footage.
