	Champion: Michael Schumacher. They came off the 2003 season almost reeling on the back foot, having seen Kimi Räikkönen come within three points of snatching Michael Schumacher's world championship crown. But if anybody thought that Ferrari was about to be toppled in 2004, they were wrong. Michael and the most famous team in motor racing history slammed their pedal to the metal again, surging to Schumacher's all-time record seventh world championship, highlighted by 13 races wins for the legendary German driver plus another two for his team-mate, Rubens Barrichello. As Usual, AUTOCOURSE brings you a detailed analysis of the highs and lows of the 2004 season, a campain that was fought out over a record number of 18 races, which included F1's first visit to Bahrain and China, both events run on magnificent new state-of-the-art circuits with excellent facilities. This was also the year in which Jenson Button and the emergent BAR Honda team really came into their own, the young British driver finishing the season with a total of ten podium finishes on his way to third place in the drivers' championship beind the Ferrari duo, while the team finished a superb second in the constructor's championship. Between these covers, the superbly illustrated text gives you a complete insight into the championship contest, from Schumacher's masterly domination of so many races to the other players who punctuated the year with moments of rate brillance. Jarno Trulli's flawless maiden grand prix victory at Monaco with the Renault R24, beating off a challenge from Button in the closing stages, was brillant entertainment. As was Kimi Räikkönen's win in the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps for McLaren mercedes, and Juan Pablo Montoya's triumph for BMW Williams in the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, the Colombian taking the flag just a second ahead of Räikkönen, the man he will partner at McLaren in 2005. The political and commercial battles that will continue to shape the future development of this spectacular, global, multi-million-dollar sport are also examined within these pages, while readers are fully briefed on all aspects of the international scene's supporting cast. Complete coverage of Formula 3000, Formula 3, sports cars and the US racing scene - plus exhaustive results tables and statistics - combine to make AUTOCOURSE the most complete and rounded account of the 2004 grand prix championship series.
