Race History

2006	Finish a distant third in the championship, despite strong race pace in second half of season. Let down by qualifying and reliability issues, and end a campaign winless for the first time in a decade. Kimi Raikkonen the dominant driver, with Juan Pablo Montoya departing mid season to head to NASCAR.
2005	The MP4-20 proves the quickest car on the grid, but poor reliability means they narrowly miss out on constructors' title, despite winning 10 races - two more than champions Renault. Kimi Raikkonen is runner-up in drivers' championship, dominating team mate Juan Pablo Montoya, who finishes fourth in standings after missing two rounds through a shoulder injury.
2004	Worst start to a season in years with just five points from the first seven races. Stage strong recovery, including victory for Kimi Raikkonen in Belgium, to end the year fifth in the table.
2003	Third in the constructors' standings, just behind Williams. Kimi Raikkonen emerges as the team's key contender for the drivers' championship, losing out to Michael Schumacher at the final race in Japan.
