Bevel gear crown wheel from the Ferrari F2002 World Champion
This bevel gear crown wheel was installed in the gearbox of the F2002 World
Champion, and specifically was used in competition on Michael Schumacher’s car
during the Hungarian Grand Prix and the free practice sessions for the Belgian
Grand Prix which the German went on to win. 2002 was a record year for the
Scuderia Ferrari which took its fourth Constructors’ World title and for Michael
Schumacher who took his fifth Drivers’ crown. Also very satisfying was the fact
that the Ferraris won 15 out of the 17 scheduled races.
This particular component was meticulously and painstakingly crafted from a
solid block of special, hardened steel, using cutting-edge technologies to
further enhance its characteristics. Like the other gearbox components, the
bevel gear crown wheel was manufactured in a limited run of just 10 to 15 after
a lengthy development phase involving in-depth preliminary testing and research.
Absolutely fanatical attention to detail is required to produce such a
practically perfect component and for this reason Ferrari’s GES Racing Division
uses only the most sophisticated tools and instruments available, themselves
expertly honed.
The authenticity of this component is guaranteed with a certificate of origin
signed by Ferrari CEO Jean Todt. Available exclusively through FerrariStore.com,
