When an average person thinks about Formula One, the first thing that comes to mind is Michael Schumacher or Ferrari, or both together. The German legend has been an iconic figure, and his 2004 V10 beast is one of the most recognisable machines.
Recently, at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the F2004 was unleashed one more time. This time, it was being driven by WRC driver Luis Perez-Companc as part of a Michael Schumacher celebration.
The car was driven up the hill, with Pirelli tyres on, instead of Bridgestone, like when it was racing. Admittedly, the car was not being driven fast as timing was not a big concern due to the run being a celebration of the legendary driver.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is an annual event which celebrates motorsport at its finest and even showcases sports cars and supercars racing up the hill.
