1998-: Ferrari
By 1998, Schumacher was the team leader at Scuderia Ferrari, racing alongside popular British driver David Coulthard. Schumacher's season got off to a somewhat unremarkable start, retiring in Australia before hitting back with a second place finish in Brazil and a win in Argentina.
Despite taking three wins to his Scottish teammate's one - Coulthard had the measure of the Ferrari F300 over Schumacher - and the McLarens of Häkkinen and Davies being far superior to the Maranello machines. Schumacher would finish in fourth place overall - 43 points behind eventual champion Häkkinen.
