With 13 wins from 18 races, Michael Schumacher\u2019s seventh and final World Championship was his best season in Formula 1.
\n
\nStill to this day, Schumacher is the only driver to have won five titles in a row as he and Ferrari dominated F1 from 2000 to 2004.\xa0
\n
\nSo why was the German at his most ruthless during that last triumph in \u201804?
\n
\n20 years on, Tom Clarkson speaks to McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella (Michael\u2019s performance engineer in 2004), Sabine Kehm (Michael\u2019s media and PR consultant in 2004) and Ferrari Sporting Director Diego Ioverno (Ferrari\u2019s gearbox engineer in 2004) for unique insight into how Michael obliterated his opposition that season, what he was like to work with and how it felt to be part of the most successful period in Ferrari\u2019s F1 history.
