  2004 Formula One season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2004 Formula One season was dominated by Michael Schumacher and Scuderia Ferrari; also noted were the success of BAR and Renault, as well as the poor performance of Ferrari's "Big Three" counterparts Williams and McLaren.
The 2004 Formula One season saw Ferrari sweep both drivers and constructors crowns, for the fifth and sixth years in a row, respectively.
From the 2004 season onward, all teams who did not finish in the top four of the previous year's World Constructors Championship were allowed to run a third car on the Friday practice before a grand prix for testing purposes.

Heidfeld, who was released by Sauber at the end of last season, has already tested with Jordan twice this year and was the frontrunner to secure one of the places with the team -- the last two driver vacancies for 2004.
Heidfeld began his Formula One career as a test driver contracted to McLaren, but was passed over for Finn Kimi Raikkonen when world champion Mika Hakkinen stepped down in 2001.
In 2002 he was 10th overall with seven points and last season got six before being dumped by the Swiss-based team in September and replaced by Brazilian Felipe Massa.

The rule changes for 2004 are not as dramatic as last season, but they will still have an impact on all of the teams and drivers.
Formula One returns to Spa, much to the delight of everyone, and two new races in Bahrain and China mean a very grueling 18 race schedule.
If 2004 is anywhere close to being as exciting as 2003, then we should all be in store for a great Formula One season.

Headquartered in Paris, France, at the end of the 1949 season it announced that for 1950 they would be linking several national Grands Prix to create Formula One with a World Championship for drivers, although due to economic difficulties the years 1952 and 1953 were actually competed in Formula Two cars.
Formula One teams must build the chassis in which they compete, and consequently the terms "team" and "constructor" are more or less interchangeable; this requirement distinguishes the sport from "spec series" such as IRL, CART, Formula 3000 and NASCAR.
Entering a (new) team in the Formula One World Championship requires a £25 million up-front payment to the FIA, which is then repaid to the team over the season.

Villeneuve, who chose not to drive in the 2003 finale at Suzuka after learning BAR announced replacing him in 2004, has stated that he refuses to be a "paying" driver and seems resigned to the fact his F1 career is over.
His outstanding season was even more remarkable in that McLaren raced their 2002 MP17 car all year (albeit with many upgrades) versus Ferrari's and Williams' new cars.
Motivation should be no problem, as Coulthard needs a strong season next year to have any chance of moving to a top-tier team in 2005.
