The engine had a very low centre of gravity, which ensured excellent handling. To ensure durability and reliability, the engine performance was reduced during the race where it still produced 865 horsepower (645 kW) at a maximum 18,600 rpm. In qualifying mode, however, the engine developed up to 900 horsepower (670 kW) at 19,000 rpm. It was powered by the 3.0-litre Tipo 051 V10 engine which initially produced 835 horsepower (623 kW) 17,800 rpm. The car was much lighter than its predecessor, the F2001. It won fifteen Grands Prix, from a total of nineteen races in 20. The chassis was designed by Rory Byrne, Ignazio Lunetta, Aldo Costa, Marco Fainello, Nikolas Tombazis and James Allison and Paolo Martinelli, assisted by Giles Simon leading the engine design and operations, under the overall leadership of Ross Brawn who was the team's Technical Director and Jean Todt the team Manager. It is widely regarded as one of the most successful Formula One car designs of all time, and guided Michael Schumacher to a then record-equaling fifth world drivers' title. The Ferrari F2002 was a racing car used by Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro as its entry for competition in the 2002 Formula One season.

In Singapore we saw Charles LeClerc’s 9th pole position in 18 races. However, on the whole Ferrari have remained competitive with Red Bull this season. “I will be very surprised if other teams would be capable of doing it.” As Ferrari, we will never be capable of introducing a lightweight chassis or a different strategy through a season, simply for budget cap. “Now I cannot judge on the Red Bull for the lightweight, because as you said, maybe not. When there were rumours of a new lightweight Red Bull chassis in the pipeline in Zandvoort, the Ferrari boss again raised other teams ability to deliver the upgrades similar to Red Bull. “I hope, because there is as well a budget cap, that at some stage Red Bull will stop development: otherwise I will not understand how they can do that.” “Now, I have no doubt that in order to keep the pace, we need to develop ourselves and introduce upgrades. “If I look at the last two races, maybe they have got a couple of tenths per lap faster to us. “It’s true that Red Bull have improved their car since the very start of the season, and they introduced upgrades” The issue has been ever present this season even as early as Miami Mattia Binotto has previously questioned how Red Bull can afford the upgrades they have brought to the car.įollowing the Miami GP the slightly despondent Ferrari boss observed, It seems there are some concerns in Maranello that Formula One’s most historic team may have breached the cost cap limit. Yet Ferrari slid under the radar this weekend as the noise from Horner and Wolff drowned out their comments on the matter. The war of words between Mercedes Toto Wolff and Christian Horner over the Singapore GP weekend has been well documented with the former revealing to the world the “massive” overspend in Milton Keynes. Cynics may argue the huge losses Formula One had taken during 2020 may also have been a factor as the total prize purse for the teams is calculated on the number of races completed. This was allegedly to protect the smaller teams going under. The original limit was agreed to be $175m however the global Coronavirus pandemic brought a rare unanimity amongst the F1 teams who agreed to drop the maximum spend to $145m. This weeks rolling Formula One story is inevitably about the FIA’s annual teams spending limit launched in 2021.
