Ferrari F2004 Schumacher Edition

Hand-airbrushed by Rafael García Cano, Fernando Alonso’s official helmet painter between 1999 and 2009, this piece replicates the Ferrari F2004, the car that embodied perfection in the V10 era. Designed for the 2004 season, when electronic driver aids were banned and stricter reliability requirements were introduced, it was a radical evolution of the F2003-GA. It featured an ultra-compact rear end, redesigned suspension to reduce tyre wear, more integrated exhausts, and an extremely low centre of gravity. Its Ferrari 053 engine, a 3.0-litre V10, had to last the entire race weekend without compromising performance. The package, optimised for Bridgestone tyres, was dominant: 15 wins from 18 races, 12 pole positions, and almost total supremacy. Schumacher won 13 of those races, and Ferrari comfortably secured both titles. The chassis was reused at the start of 2005 as the F2004M. Considered one of the fastest cars of all time, its lap records remained unbeaten for years.
