The Ferrari F1-2000 was Ferrari's 49th Formula 1 car and took part in all 17 races of the 2000 season. It was created as an evolution of the F300 and F399, retaining the basic transmission but receiving a new V10 with a wider bank angle of 90° (previously 80°), which lowered the center of gravity. The sidepods became smaller and rounder, the nose flatter underneath, and the car was developed entirely using the wind tunnel. Michael Schumacher took Scuderia Ferrari's first Drivers' title since 1979 with it, alongside the Constructors' Championship; the car won 10 races.

Technical Director Ross Brawn led the project, Rory Byrne and Aldo Costa handled the design, and Nikolas Tombazis was responsible for aerodynamics. Paolo Martinelli was in charge of the engine, heading a team of 135 technicians. The car retained the basic gearbox of previous years, but received a more angular body with a nose drooping toward the front wing and an even flatter wing underside that improved airflow beneath the car. Unlike the previous year, it was developed entirely in the wind tunnel.
2000 season
Cooling was better than on its predecessors, the sidepods were smaller and rounder, and weight distribution was refined in detail. The F1-2000 taxed its tires more heavily than the McLaren, which remained faster overall. From the US Grand Prix onward, a flat front wing replaced the angled version, and larger bargeboards followed in France. Schumacher's third Drivers' title and the defense of the Constructors' Championship marked the beginning of Ferrari's era of dominance.
