RECAP SCROLL TO BEGIN

2004 / SCHUMACHER

A scrolling recap of 2004 in six acts. The champion, the constructor, the bump chart, and the race-by-race podiums.

ACT 1 CUMULATIVE TRAJECTORY

The points reel out, race after race.

Every line is a driver's running championship total. The heaviest three at the top are the ones who mattered. Michael Schumacher closed the year on 148 points, a 34-point gap over P2.

ACT 2 CONSTRUCTORS

Two-car teams, one trophy.

The constructors' championship is a different game — both cars score. A team can win it with consistent doubles even when neither driver leads the standings. Ferrari ended on 262 points.

ACT 3 STANDINGS BUMP

Position by position, week to week.

Cumulative points hide where the order actually changed. The bump chart ranks every driver after each race — every crossing of lines is somebody passing somebody in the table.
