It's easy to forget these days, but Ferrari were the Mercedes of the early 2000's, sweeping all before them on the way to six straight constructor's championships. The combination of Michael Schumacher, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne was unstoppable during this period, and their entry for 2002 was arguably the best of them all. Schumacher finished on the podium for every race that season - a record that is yet to be matched - and that was partly down to the F2002's incredible speed and impeccable reliability. In the 15 rounds it was intered in during '02, either Schumacher or Rubens Barrichello won on all but one occasion, standing on the podium 25 times from 29 starts.

Back in the days when only the top 6 finishers earned points, Ferrari amassed 221 points, as much as the rest of the field combined. In fact, its success was part of the reason behind increasing the points paying positions down to eighth. The F2002 continued into 2003, where Schumacher and Barrichello finished 1-3 at that year's San Marino Grand Prix. Truly a remarkable work of art.
