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 a photograph I took from inside the
paddock at Club Corner of one of the cars returning to the pit lane after 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.
