M.Schumacher joined the Ferrari F1 team in 1996, and with technical director R.Brawn and machine designer R.Byrne joining the following year Ferrari began their comeback into the sport. Thanks to the efforts of the three members the team was able to win the Constructor's Championship in 1999, and further allowed them to take Driver's Championship in the following year of 2000. Schumacher and the team managed to take both titles in the next two years, and in the following year of 2003 the team would enter the F2003-GA for the season.
The F2003-GA was named in honour of G. Agnelli – the head of Fiat that had passed away earlier in the same year. The car had a greater focus on aerodynamic effects, which made its performance much more irregular compared to the previous 2002 model. It debuted during the 5th race of the season in Spain, and while Schumacher was able to win both in Spain and in the following race in Austria, the Williams and Renault team were able to pick up victories during the summer races of the season. Feeling the pressure from the other teams, the Ferrari team bought along a large amount of Bridgestone tyres to test at the home race at Monza and did extensive test runs to further improve the car for the race.
As a result, Schumacher was victorious at the Italian GP and in the following US GP. It was an incredibly close battle for the driver's title that year, but thanks to assistance from the second driver R.Barrichello, Schumacher was able to take his fourth Driver's Championship in a row.
