There were a series of demonstration runs in Ferrari F1 cars by Corse Cliente drivers at the Ferrari Racing Days meeting at Silverstone in September 2017 and this is one of the photographs I took from inside the paddock at Club Corner during one of the runs.
It's the Ferrari F2003-GA that was driven in the 2003 season by Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello, the 'GA' being added as a mark of respect to head of Fiat Gianni Agnelli who had died in January 2003. The car was designed by a team headed by chief designer Rory Byrne and was introduced almost half-way through the 2003 season. It was based on the previous season's Ferrari F2002 and was powered by the 2,997cc 40 valve twin overhead camshaft V10 Ferrari 052 engine. Michael Schumacher won six Grands Prix that season and with two more third place podium finishes won the sixth of his seven World Drivers Championships, with Rubens Barrichello winning two Grands Prix to finish in fourth place in the Championship.
