Scuderia Ferrari

Scuderia Ferrari is ithe racing division of luxury Italian auto manufacturer Ferrari and the racing team that competes in Formula 1 CMP. Their current driver line-up consists Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. They are the reigning World Drivers' and Constructors' Championship holders.

1999
Ferrari started the season strong, winning all five opening rounds, with two victories for Eddie Irvine and three for Michael Schumacher. However, their form started to falter as the season progressed, only taking one more victory with Irvine at the Austrian Grand Prix. Schumacher was left out injured from that same Grand Prix onwards via an off-track incident, which lead to him being replaced by Mika Salo. Salo managed to score three pole positions and three podium finishes for the Scuderia, before Schumacher returned in time for the Malaysian Grand Prix.

McLaren had closed down to be within a, albeit small, chance of winning both championships coming into the season finale. Irvine had to score one more point and Ferrari themselves needed at least four to assure that the British team would not catch them. However, neither happened, and as McLaren scored the neccesary 1-2 finish, they missed out on both championships. Irvine had scored the same amount of points as eventual Drivers' Champion David Coulthard, though as he had less victories to his name (three compared to Coulthard's five), he was classified as the runner-up by virtue of the countback rule.

2000
Ferrari announced a driver swap coming into the season as Rubens Barrichello joined the team, while Irvine went the opposite route, joining the now rebranded Jaguar team.

Michael Schumacher won the team their first Drivers' Championship, clinching the title as late as the final lap of the season finale in Malaysia, as his nearest rival, Mika Häkkinen, was forced to retire with an engine failure.

While they did drop off in form much like the season before, the team still scored a record 9 victories and 18 podiums, winning the Constructors' Championship as early as the United States Grand Prix. The team ended with a total of 154 points, 27 more than the season before.
