The 1988 Formula 1 season saw McLaren almost winning every race, except for Ayrton Senna’s incident with Jean-Louis Schlesser in the Williams. Michael Schumacher’s dominant 2004 F1 season with the Ferrari F2004, winning 12 of the first 13 races, stands out as well. Andrea Stella, McLaren’s team principal, recalls the excitement of realizing the Ferrari F2004’s speed exceeded simulations. Stella remembers the revealing open test of the F2004 at Imola, which holds a special place in his heart for Formula 1. The F2004’s performance is a motivation for McLaren to strive for similar success in the future. The F2004 marked a turning point for Ferrari, emphasizing the car’s legendary status and high market value.
