Designed by Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn, it represented Ferrari's first interpretation of the new narrower-track and grooved-tyre regulations introduced that year. On 13 September 1998, at Monza's Round 14 of 16, that ambition crystallised into a perfect result: a Ferrari 1–2, with Eddie Irvine crossing the line in 2nd place in car No. 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ferrari-f300-1998-regulations\"\u003eFerrari's First Response to the 1998 Rulebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F300 succeeded the F310B and was conceived entirely around the FIA's 1998 technical changes: a narrower overall track width and four longitudinal grooves on each tyre. Byrne and Brawn's design accepted these constraints and produced a car competitive enough to fight McLaren across 16 rounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"monza-1998-irvine-second\"\u003eIrvine at Monza: Second Place, Perfect Timing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from 3rd on the grid at the 1998 Italian Grand Prix, Eddie Irvine ran in the leading group throughout the race. When Schumacher took the win, Irvine was right behind him in car No. 4, sealing a Ferrari 1–2 at Monza with just two rounds of the championship remaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"gp-replicas-1-43\"\u003eGP Replicas in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is produced by GP Replicas in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e scale. The livery replicates the specific No. 4 Irvine specification from Monza 1998, distinguishing it from the companion Schumacher No. 3 variant of the same race. The detail is concentrated on exterior surfaces: the chevron, sponsor decals, and the F300's characteristic narrow-track stance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet-pairing\"\u003eIn the Display Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e, the F300 sits comfortably alongside other single-season or Monza-themed F1 pieces without dominating shelf space. The natural companion is the GP Replicas No. 3 Schumacher F300 from the same Monza 1998 race, placing both cars together to document that Ferrari 1–2 result. Beyond the sister car, the 1998 Ferrari season arc can be extended with the F399 No. 4 Irvine from 1999 — the campaign in which Irvine came closest to a drivers' title — forming a coherent two-year Irvine study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GP REPLICAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60176539517312,"sku":"GP43-044B","price":84.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-gp43-044b-front34-v2_d9229877-1588-40af-83fa-28fc6323eb1d.jpg?v=1792661973","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/products\/ferrari-f1-f300-n-4-2nd-monza-italy-gp-1998-eddie-irvine-red-white","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
