Individual Ferrari F2004 · Michael Schumacher · race no. 1 · photographed at Brooklands, Silverstone, July 10, 2004 · no chassis number or race-winning-car identity claimed

Martin Lee photographed Michael Schumacher in the no. 1 Ferrari F2004 at Brooklands during the 2004 British Grand Prix weekend. That event-and-driver identification makes this the actual Schumacher car in that session—not a museum substitute or a later replica. The photograph was taken on July 10; Joyride does not claim that it proves the chassis used to win the race the following day.

Ferrari records Schumacher’s July 11 Silverstone victory as his tenth win from the season’s first eleven starts. The manufacturer’s F2004 record specifies a rear-longitudinal 90-degree V10, 2,997 cc, 636 kW (865 hp) at 18,300 rpm and an electro-hydraulic seven-speed transmission with reverse. Those are model-level F2004 specifications, not proof of an unpublished chassis identity for the photographed car.

Ferrari’s season history says Schumacher secured his seventh drivers’ title at the Belgian Grand Prix and that Ferrari won fifteen of eighteen races in 2004. This remains a competition story: Schumacher did not personally own the photographed race car, and Joyride claims no chassis number, later owner, current custody, complete F2004 production history, exact catalog profile or compatible game entry.

Where the car went next

  1. July 10, 2004Photographed at Brooklands

    Martin Lee’s licensed image identifies Schumacher driving the individual race-number-1 F2004 during the British Grand Prix weekend. It does not identify a chassis number.

  2. July 11, 2004Schumacher wins at Silverstone

    Ferrari records the British Grand Prix victory as Schumacher’s tenth win from eleven starts that season. The July 10 photograph is not relabeled as the proven race-winning chassis.

  3. August 29, 2004A seventh drivers’ title

    Ferrari records Schumacher clinching his seventh drivers’ championship at the Belgian Grand Prix. This season result does not establish later custody of the photographed car.

  4. End of the 2004 seasonFifteen wins from eighteen races

    Ferrari’s history credits the F2004 campaign with fifteen victories in eighteen races across Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello; this is team/model context, not a claim about one chassis.
