While in 2003 Michael Schumacher and Ferrari had to sweat until the very last race of the season before victory was theirs, 2004 was a different story altogether as the German driver and the Maranello team returned to runaway success. Their performance even surpassed the 2002 season when they clinched the title in July. In 2004, they had to wait a little longer but the result was the same: another record-breaking year.
