The Ferrari F300 was a Formula One car designed by Rory Byrne for the 1998 Formula One Season for the Scuderia Ferrari. It was powered by a 3.0 V10 engine and designed around a narrower track as mandated by the FIA in a series of regulation changes for that season.
The car was competitive and reliable but was aerodynamically inferior to the McLaren MP4/13 and Michael Schumacher battled to second place in the world championship behind Mika Häkkinen. Ferrari finished as runners-up in the constructors' championship, but the car paved the way for the dominance Ferrari had in the following seasons.
