The best seasons of the 21st century
The 2000 Formula 1 season was a classic head-to-head fight between two of the best drivers of the era. But while it kicked the noughties off in style, there have been plenty of other enthralling championship battles since the turn of the century
The 2000 Formula 1 season ushered in the 21st century with a straight fight for championship glory between two of the greats in Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen.
It also marked the start of the Schumacher/Ferrari era of dominance, which would not be broken until Fernando Alonso and Renault won the 2005 world titles.
