This connecting rod was part of the powerful V10 engine of the Ferrari F1-2000 car, the single-seater that brought the Drivers' title back to Maranello after 21 years. Driven by Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello, the F1–2000 dominated the 2000 Formula 1 season, also winning the Constructors' Championship. This triumph consecrated Scuderia Ferrari as one of the most successful teams in Formula 1 history. The connecting rod is mounted on a pedestal featuring minimalist elegant lines designed by the Ferrari Style Centre and made of transparent methacrylate, a special polymer with outstanding durability and extra-clear – as clear as glass – appearing, making the item look as if it were floating. The vertical element, made of polished anodised aluminium brushed at different intensities and with anti-fingerprint treatment, lends depth and dynamism to the shadow cast by the piece. Created for collectors and enthusiasts who wish to own a fragment of Ferrari's spirit, each certified and authenticated Ferrari Collectibles piece celebrates the legendary Ferrari mechanics, symbol of innovation, craftsmanship and beauty. Born for speed, reborn for beauty.
