2002 Technical Regulations
2002 carried forward the mandatory V10 + 4/4 grooved tyre framework. Traction control and launch control were both legal now. Ferrari's F2002 was arguably the most dominant single-season car of the decade — Schumacher won 11 of 17 rounds and clinched the title with six races remaining. No foundational regulation rewrite; the focus had shifted to the 2003 sporting overhaul.
