SUMMARY
Presented in the livery used by Maranello when Schumacher won the 2004 Bahrain Grand Prix. This fine 1:8th scale Amalgam model of the F2004 has been handcrafted and finished with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.
DESCRIPTION
The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed Amalgam to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation. The model was finished to replicate the car on race day in Bahrain, 4th April 2004.
The Ferrari F2004 is one of the most successful cars in Formula 1 history. During an era in which the Maranello-based team was dominating the sport, the F2004 won no less than 15 Formula 1 races during the 2004 season and allowed Michael Schumacher to win a record-breaking seventh World Championship. The second position in the championship was claimed by team mate, Rubens Barrichello, allowing for a 1-2 finish. The F2004 was to be the end of a hugely successful period in Ferrari's history, having won consecutively since 1999, with 2005 seeing Fernando Alonso and Renault take the crown. Autosport's Editor-in-Chief, Andrew van de Burgt, wrote 'The Ferrari F2004 is one of the most iconic Formula 1 cars in the sport's history. It was the car with which Michael Schumacher won his record-breaking seventh title and is a beautiful machine with an exceptional history.'
This model 'Edition 15/30' measures 60cm/24'' approximately in length and is supplied with an original Perspex cover.
