F1 Review 2004 (2004)

The Official Review of the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship

24/11/2004

Overview

The 2003 season was unprecedented, but 2004 was just remarkable. Thirteen wins out of eighteen handed Michael Schumacher his record-breaking seventh title. To say that Michael's ruthless domination of the sport was the only story of 2004 doesn't do the season justice: This year marked Jenson Button's meteoric rise to become a genuine championship contender. And 2004 saw East meet West with new circuits in Bahrain and China that brought out the best and worst in Michael Schumacher.
