2000 heralded another season packed full of exciting Formula One action. Ferrari wasted no time putting the pressure on McLaren, underlining just how competitive they had become. Michael Schumacher’s early dominance threatened to conclude the championship before it had really begun. But once McLaren found their form first David Coulthard and then Mika Hakkinen challenged for the title. By the penultimate race in Japan, Schumacher only needed one more win to clinch the championship title for the third time. Mika was a super competitor throughout the season, but will undoubtedly be remembered for his gentlemanly attitude after Michaels triumph.

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.
