Another championship has been in the way, but it will be remembered by the great parity imposed by three pilots and three different marks until the end, where the German Michael Schumacher finally devoted like séxtuple world-wide champion.
That he was best and worse of each escudería. As they prepare themselves for a new battle that much more promises to be competitive that the one of this year.

SCUDERIA FERRARI MARLBORO

If Bridgestone is placed to the same level of Michelín, Ferrari will be again great the dominator

Again he was escudería of Maranello that carried out the most regular work to demonstrate finally that they own the best set of chassis-motor at the same time, obtaining the championship of constructors and pilots. Although they underwent a bassoon almost in the end, but it was due to the inferiority of the Bridgestone tires and not by own responsibilities. Its objective will have to be most complicated, to continue staying in the first place.
Michael shining Schumacher to obtain the sixth crown and Rubens Barrichello demonstrated that it is the best escudero for Michael, when obtaining three poles and two Grand Prix. For the next year they will maintain to his dupla of pilots.

BMW WILLIAMS F1 TEAM

The objective of Williams is to win if or if some of the championships of year 2004

For this season they learned the lesson and they surpassed its heel of Aquilles in the 2002, who was the lack of development of the chassis throughout the year. The BMW motor continues being most powerful of the park along with the Ferrari. In addition it was benefitted by the advantage of the Michelín on the dry floor in several opportunities. The next season will have to be yes or yes to the same height that Ferrari.
Juan Pablo Montoya has demonstrated the maturity necessary to be able to operate his abilities to the maximum and Ralf Schumacher also showed that it is around the Colombian to fight by the championship. Escudería will maintain its two pilots, reason why they will have chance to arrive at the 1.

WEST MCLAREN MERCEDES

The new McLaren promises to be more competitive than the old model of the 2002, also used this year

On the one hand they have done a sober work in the old MP4/17 when developing it to be in the end, but they did not obtain the crown had to the full failure with the new chassis. They were the firmest candidates.
Also they will be it next year, but they will have the disadvantage to have a chassis constructed on the basis of a failed design that did not get to dispute a single race.
Kimi Raikkonen demonstrated that it is a pilot number 1 but it will have to commit less errors in classification. David Coulthard could not at least play the escudero role. That could be the greater weakness for escudería so it will come, since both will continue like teammates. The new chassis will be first in beginning the tests.

MILD SEVEN RENAULT F1 TEAM

The French mark left in clear that it is not only for participating. In several opportunities they were around the “three great ones”, thanks to a phenomenal chassis. For the next year, the new motor to 90 degrees will have to be as powerful as the one of the leaders.
Fernando Alonso has begun to operate his potential, reason why the next season will be in clear conditions for fighting by the championship.
Jarno Trulli was with its speed of always, but also with the same bad fortune in race that customary. If it improves that point, will have the same chances of Alonso.

LUCKY STRIKE BAR HONDA

Jenson Button knew to lead in a pair of races and hopes to be able to repeat it the next year

Without doubts they have improved, as much in chassis as in motor. He underwent the same falencia that Ferrari due to the tires. They are the same height that Jaguar and Toyota.
The next year, would have to be able to dispute some race, because they have the obligation to do it.
Jenson Button has arrived at its stage of maturation in the sport and will have to demonstrate if a number 1 is everything.
Jacques Villeneuve simply said goodbye, but unjustly he was thrown, because they never offered a car him that fights the end. He replaces Takuma Sato, that will have to be above hard from the beginning if it wants to leave in clear that a place in the F1 is deserved. He has done until now it.

JAGUAR RACING

Like BAR and Toyota, have realized the growth that had not to be in shame.
The package chassis-motor made an impression in several opportunities, reason why the coming year also would have to dispute some competition with chances real.
Mark Webber surprised all, wasting speed and class in several occasions.
Dissapointing the one of Pizzonia and the one of Wilson, considering well who was his first year in the F1 and its 5 first races in escudería British. It deserves to be the companion of Webber. Nevertheless, Jaguar has in its preferences the Austrian Alex Wurz, present probador of McLaren.

PANASONIC TOYOTA RACING

Toyota has made enormous progresses in its chassis and motor. The equipment waits its first triumph of F1

Too much well for being his third year. They constructed quick chassis next to a atemorizante motor, but exactly its lack of flight in the tracks, was detonating of so many desertions and loss of important points.
Next year it will be in the line that unite to the group of second squad, conformed by BAR and Jaguar and the one of forward edge, made up of Ferrari, Williams, McLaren and Renault.
Olivier Panis, always quick and solid, finally is in his dreamed end equipment and Christian gives Matta demonstrated that he has potential like being a future number 1. Both will continue in the equipment.

RED BULL SAUBER PETRONAS

This season fully lived the consequences of the game of Sergio Rinland makes a pair of years. They do not own to anybody guides who to remove them aerodynamically benefit from the excellent Ferrari impeller. The next year they will count in addition on the box to the Italian impeller. The Germans Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Nick Heidfeld have not had the concrete opportunity to show his was worth in a poor chassis and will be replaced by Giancar it Fisichella and Felipe Massa, who returns after being probador in Ferrari.
For the next season, he would have to integrate the second lot at least.

JORDAN FORD

The economic situation of Jordan is not of the best ones, nevertheless the equipment took miraculously a triumph in the GP of Brazil

Another one escudería that disappointed with the chassis, but in this case due also to the lack of suitable budget. The motor lived in fire, reason why the poor man of Giancar it Fisichella vió truncated its possibilities again of demonstrating that he is a great pilot, in spite of to have gained its first GP.
Ralph Firman did not make it bad, reason why chance must have another one. Nick Heidfeld and Frentzen would be the new pilots, although also the Russian Vitaly Petrov could arrive. Either this confirmed if they will follow motorized by Ford Cosworth.
At the most, they must arrive next year around Sauber.

EUROPEAN MINARDI COSWORTH

Equal, neither or nor, always badly normal, in spite of the great realized effort.
Of all ways, this year has been one of their as much concerning better chassis and motor, like economic. For that it comes, simply it will have to continue subsisting.
Jos Verstappen realized a correct work it helped and them in which it could, although finally decided to move away.
Nicholas Kiesa arrived as the reemplazante of Wilson and has not disappointed. His chances to remain in the equipment will depend on the money that arranges. In similar situation is the Italian Gianmaria Brunni.

Ferrari, Williams, McLaren and Renault will be the great candidates to title 2004 of F1

A championship extinguishes its light and another one is next to come. Ferrari, Williams, McLaren and Renault will fight by the title, whereas Toyota, Jaguar and BAR must follow them close by or giving the great jump. Sauber and Jordan will try to leave the well and Minardi to continue competing. In addition it will continue the Michelin-Bridgestone duel to present/display the best tire.
Although as it is known, in Formula 1 the logic does not exist and the surprises could be more than one in all the fronts of fight. We wish that the year it waits for that us they give so many or more positive surprises and emotions that the one that went away, to maintain to the category more alive than ever, leaving of side in one go the political monopolies and I interest commercial.
