Timeline

The Ferrari F2003-GA, used in the 2003 Formula One World Championship, was a notable evolution of the successful Ferrari F2002. Designed by a team led by Rory Byrne and Aldo Costa, with Ross Brawn as Technical Director, the car featured new bulbous sidepods and a lengthened wheelbase to enhance aerodynamics. Introduced mid-season, it initially faced challenges with tyre wear but regained competitiveness, winning the final three races. Overall, the F2003-GA won seven races, secured five pole positions, and set five fastest laps. It was instrumental in Michael Schumacher winning his sixth Drivers' title, surpassing Juan Manuel Fangio's record. Notably, chassis number 229, used by Schumacher for five Grand Prix victories in 2003, was sold in November 2022 for a record $14,873,327 USD​​​​​​​​.
