The 2004 French Grand Prix was famously won by Michael Schumacher switching to a four-stop strategy to outfox Fernando Alonso and Renault on a day where Ferrari faced a bigger threat than usual in one of its most dominant seasons.
Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell join host Glenn Freeman to look back at how Ferrari pulled the unique strategy off, and why Renault could do nothing about it. They also look back at everything else going on in F1 around the time of the race, including the debut for McLaren's B-spec 2004 car, the beginning of the end for Jarno Trulli at Renault, David Coulthard getting some rough treatment in the driver market, the FIA pushing to slow the cars down for 2005, and Max Mosley announcing he was stepping down at the end of the year as FIA president.
