From Jean Alesi to Felipe Massa, from Fernando Alonso to Sebastian Vettel, and including the iconic F2004 that delivered Michael Schumacher his seventh World Championship: around twenty Prancing Horse single-seaters that shaped Ferrari’s modern Formula 1 world championship history will return to the track at Mugello for the Finali Mondiali.

It will be a unique display of passion and excitement, with these cars driven in dedicated sessions of the Maranello manufacturer’s exclusive F1 Clienti programme, which offers owners of historic Ferrari Formula 1 single-seaters the chance to drive them on some of the most iconic circuits in Motorsport’s world.

When to see them. F1 Clienti, the first of the Prancing Horse’s non-competitive programmes, launched in 2003, will be featured in the highly anticipated schedule of the Finali Mondiali week at the Scarperia circuit.

During sessions shared with the 499P Modificata cars of the Sport Prototipi Clienti programme, Ferrari’s Formula 1 single-seaters will be on display on Thursday, 23 October, with four 20-minute sessions at 11:15 a.m., 1:05 p.m., 3:55 p.m., and 5:45 p.m., as well as at 12 p.m., 3:35 p.m., and 7:20 p.m. The same schedule and programme will be followed on Friday, 24 October.

On Saturday, 25 October, the F1 cars will be on track at 10:45 a.m., 12:05 p.m., 2:25 p.m., and 3 p.m., while on Sunday, 26 October, the single-seaters will appear at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

What to see. The cars span over two decades of Ferrari’s recent Formula 1 history – from the iconic 412 T2 driven by Jean Alesi in 1995, the year he claimed his only Grand Prix victory in Canada, to the most recent SF70H raced by Sebastian Vettel in 2017, marking the 70th anniversary of the Maranello manufacturer. Vettel shone in that car throughout the Formula 1 World Championship season, securing five victories – in Australia, Bahrain, Monaco, Hungary, and Brazil – [which earned him second place] in the Drivers’ standings and helped Ferrari secure the runner-up spot in the Constructors’ Championship. (I think it he official F1 terminology)

Alongside several single-seaters once driven by Irishman Eddie Irvine at the turn of the century, there will also be a strong presence of Ferrari Formula 1 cars from the first decade of the new millennium. Among the F2000, F2001, F2002, and F2005 single-seaters driven by Rubens Barrichello, as well as the F60 of Felipe Massa and the F10 of Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher’s F2004 stands out most for everything it represents.

It was Scuderia Ferrari’s fiftieth single-seater and remains the most successful in the Maranello manufacturer’s history. The F2004 made its debut at the Australian Grand Prix on 7 March 2004, where Schumacher immediately triumphed ahead of teammate Rubens Barrichello. By the end of that season, Schumacher had claimed 11 wins and Ferrari had recorded seven one-two finishes, results that secured the German’s seventh World Championship title and brought the constructors’ crown to Ferrari.
