The car that restored Ferrari's F1 respectability

By:

For the Scuderia, the F1-2000 was the car that heralded the return of the glory days and the start of Michael Schumacher's five-year domination of Formula 1. JAKE BOXALL-LEGGE goes under the skin

For a team of Ferrari's glorious stature, the current 11-year title drought after such an extended period of dominance in the early 2000s is hideously obtrusive - but Ferrari has been through a far more extensive fallow period.

Following Jody Scheckter's title triumph in 1979, Ferrari fell off a cliff spectacularly in 1980, and began a 20-year span without title success.
