ferrari launch

Although the fundamental design philosophy of the new Ferrari F2004 is the same as its predecessors, designer Rory Byrne told the assembled guests at the team's launch that every area of the car had been revised in order to make a further step forward on performance.

Echoing the claims made in each of the past few seasons, Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn addressed the assembled crowd of guests and media at the Scuderia's annual F1 launch by announcing that the new F2004 was probably the best car that the team had produced.
