Ferrari 2000 Formula One Champions

Scuderia Ferrari's sheer dominance in Formula One Racing was unbeatable from 1999 to 2008 where it won a total of 8 Constructors Championships. They won a straight 6 Constructors Championships from 1999 to 2004. Ferrari is the only constructor to win more than 10 Championships , the only team(s) that comes close to winning more championships are Williams (9) and Mclaren (8). 16 Constructor Championships wins till this date still looks invincible.

In the year 2001 Poste Italiane issued a commemorative miniature sheet to celebrate the Ferrari's 2000 Constructor Championships - "Formula 1 World Champions" ( Campionidel Mondo 2000 ). The stamp features the Ferrari F1-2000 car ( Chasis ~ F1-2000 , Engine ~ Ferrari 049 ) with the chequered flag in the background. The miniature sheet features a prancing horse ( Ferrari's symbol ) in the background and the stamp placed at the bottom in the middle of the sheet. Red and green blocks with combination of white symbolizes Italian flag.

A treat for Tifosi..indeed.
