The F2003-GA
Ferrari's Dream Machine for 2003
February 7th 2003
The F2003-GA is the forty ninth single-seater built by Ferrari to compete in the Formula 1 World Championship. The basic design concept is unchanged from that of the F2002. Attention has been paid to optimising aerodynamic efficiency in addition to further lowering the caršs centre of gravity. All areas of the car have been completely redesigned in an effort to get the maximum performance out of the new 052 engine and the Bridgestone tyres. The official designation of the car partly follows tradition, while the 'GA' suffix has been added in honour of the late Avvocato Giovanni Agnelli.
