The Ferrari F1-2000, a distinguished Formula One race car, marked Ferrari's significant return to the pinnacle of Formula One racing in the 2000 season. A direct evolution from its predecessors, the F300 and F399, the F1-2000 was engineered by a skilled team led by Rory Byrne, with Ross Brawn overseeing as Technical Director. Notable improvements included a wider V-angle in its engine for a lower center of gravity and enhanced aerodynamics, particularly a flatter nose underside, matching McLaren's MP4/15. The car's design emphasized improved cooling, lighter weight, and better airflow. Despite a mid-season performance dip, Michael Schumacher piloted the F1-2000 to his third World Drivers' Title, ending Ferrari's 21-year championship drought and reinstating Ferrari's dominance in constructors' standings, a trend that persisted into the early 2000sāāāā.
