Nobody, however, could have guessed that Grand Prix racing's best team ever would turn into struggling midfielders in less that a year. So what did go wrong and how will Ferrari make things right next year? A year which may very well provide seven time world champion Michael Schumacher with his very last chance to turn things around one final time. We analyse the 2005 Grand Prix season and look ahead at the new season. |

With wins at Monza, Zandvoort, Lausitzring, Magny-Cours, Brands Hatch and Estoril, he dominated the class for F1 cars from 1971 until 1979 of the FIA Thoroughbred Grand Prix World Championship with his 1978 Ferrari 312 T3 formerly driven by Gilles Villeneuve, Carlos Reutemann and Jody Scheckter. The reward was another FIA world title, his second after winnen the FIA Sportscar Championship in 2003.

Sounds impossible? Yes, it does, but this is exactly what happened a little over thirty years ago, when the seventies Ferrari 312 P sports car has it all: good looks, great drivers and world championship success. We fondly remember the very last sports car built and raced by Ferrari, winner of the 1972 world title. |
| 28 | Formula 1 | The Forgotten Titles Ferrari's finest Turbo Years When Michael Schumacher made Ferrari win again all people talked about were the two decades that had passed since Jody Scheckter won the world championship. Yet Maranello did win the world title twice in between. Two world constructors titles that Ferrari clinched with it's turbo engine. Two prizes that are almost forgotten, mostly because, at the time, the media nor the public hardly cared for anything but the drivers' crown. We look back at the days when Ferrari's turbo was in charge. |
