The 2003 Formula One World Championship was the 57th season of FIA Formula One Grand Prix racing, unfolding across 16 rounds from 9 March to 12 October. Fans watched established champions clash with rising stars, as new rules and tighter competition shook up the order.
Season
Michael Schumacher and Ferrari entered as the dominant force, yet 2003 pushed them harder than ever. The McLaren driver, Kimi Räikkönen, and Williams’ Juan Pablo Montoya mounted serious challenges, keeping the title battle alive deep into the season. In the end, Schumacher prevailed to secure his sixth Drivers’ Championship—beating the long-standing record of Juan Manuel Fangio—while Ferrari retained the Constructors’ crown.

Friday Drivers
The 2003 season introduced optional Friday testing sessions—a cost-saving measure aimed at giving smaller teams more track time without the expense of dedicated test days. Several teams took advantage by running additional drivers on Fridays, often young prospects or experienced testers looking to stay involved in F1.
Renault fielded the most consistent Friday presence:
- Allan McNish (United Kingdom), fresh from racing with Toyota in 2002, took the wheel across most of the year (Rounds 1–9, 11–16).
- Franck Montagny (France) substituted for McNish at Round 10.
Jordan rotated several drivers in the role:
- Zsolt Baumgartner (Hungary), who would later debut as a race driver that year, tested in Rounds 12–13.
- Björn Wirdheim (Sweden) appeared at Round 15.
- Satoshi Motoyama (Japan) ran in Round 16.
Minardi also gave opportunities to Italian talent:
- Matteo Bobbi tested in Round 4.
- Gianmaria Bruni drove in the Friday sessions from Rounds 12–16.
These Friday runs gave valuable exposure to young drivers and kept veterans like McNish active in the F1 paddock, even as teams managed costs under the FIA’s new testing framework.
Team Changes
The 2003 grid opened with a significant absence: Arrows, a fixture of Formula One since 1978, failed to survive the financial collapse that had forced them out midway through 2002. The FIA rejected their application to compete in 2003, and after 25 years, the team folded.
Elsewhere, Jordan moved to Ford-badged Cosworth engines, ending their Honda supply deal a year earlier than planned. Honda instead concentrated fully on their partnership with BAR. A potential Asiatech takeover of Jordan never materialised, and when Asiatech’s funding dried up, the engine manufacturer itself disappeared from the sport. Minardi, who had run Asiatech power in 2002, also switched to Cosworth units for the new season.
Driver Changes
The 2003 grid was one of the most refreshed lineups of the era, headlined by the full-time debut of Fernando Alonso at Renault. The Spaniard, promoted from test driver duties, replaced Jenson Button, who moved to BAR. Button took over from Olivier Panis, who joined Toyota alongside reigning CART champion and F1 rookie Cristiano da Matta, forming a completely new driver pairing for the Japanese team.
Former Toyota drivers Allan McNish and Mika Salo both departed—McNish resurfacing as a Renault test driver, while Salo left F1 altogether. At Sauber, Felipe Massa shifted into a Ferrari test role, opening the door for veteran Heinz-Harald Frentzen, who had already stepped in for Massa at the 2002 United States Grand Prix.
Takuma Sato left Jordan to become BAR’s sole test driver, replaced at Jordan by Ralph Firman, the 2002 Formula Nippon champion. Jaguar also opted for a reset, bringing in Mark Webber from Minardi and F3000 talent Antônio Pizzonia, replacing Eddie Irvine and Pedro de la Rosa. Webber’s former Minardi seat went to Justin Wilson, the 2001 F3000 champion, while Jos Verstappen returned to F1 to replace Alex Yoong, who departed for a short-lived CART campaign.
Mid-Season Changes
The mid-year shuffle only added more drama:
- Justin Wilson left Minardi after the German Grand Prix to join Jaguar, replacing the underperforming Pizzonia. Wilson’s Minardi seat was taken by Danish F3000 driver Nicolas Kiesa.
- Ralph Firman’s crash in Hungary sidelined him with injuries, and Zsolt Baumgartner stepped in for the Italian Grand Prix, becoming the first Hungarian to race in F1. Firman returned later in the season.
- Ralf Schumacher also missed the Italian Grand Prix due to concussion, replaced by Williams test driver Marc Gené, before returning at the next round.
- Finally, Jacques Villeneuve cut his season short by skipping the Japanese Grand Prix. Takuma Sato stepped into the BAR race seat for his home race, foreshadowing his full-time return the following year.
Regulation Changes
Technical Regulations
Safety and technology were at the forefront of 2003’s updates.
- The HANS (Head and Neck Support) device became mandatory for all drivers after the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council ruling in June 2002. Despite resistance from several drivers—including Rubens Barrichello, Jacques Villeneuve, Justin Wilson, and Nick Heidfeld—the measure was introduced to reduce the risk of serious head and neck injuries in high-impact crashes.
- From 26 February 2003, cars were no longer allowed to have fuel added or removed between qualifying and the race, closing a loophole that encouraged unsafe, ultra-light setups in qualifying.
- A hydraulic power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system was made compulsory, with the FIA deeming traditional manual systems too physically demanding given modern cornering forces.
The season also became a turning point for driver aids: 2003 was the final year that fully-automatic gearboxes and launch control were permitted. Both had been legal since the 2001 Spanish Grand Prix, but the FIA ruled they would be banned for 2004. (Traction control survived longer, with its ban delayed until 2008.)
Sporting Regulations
The fallout from Ferrari’s controversial team orders at the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix triggered a major shift: from 2003 onward, team orders that interfered with race results were officially banned.
Other headline changes included:
- Wet weather tyres: Teams were restricted to a single compound in wet races. This sparked protests from tyre suppliers, and after the chaos of the rain-soaked Brazilian Grand Prix—where multiple cars aquaplaned off in the same corner—the rule was abandoned mid-season.
- One-lap qualifying: To increase visibility for smaller teams and inject more jeopardy, Friday’s qualifying set the Saturday running order, while Saturday’s session determined the grid. Each driver was allowed only a single timed lap per session.
- Friday testing: Teams could now run optional test sessions during Grand Prix weekends, in exchange for cutting back on costly stand-alone test days (the latter were banned entirely from 2004).
- Points system overhaul: The scoring format expanded from rewarding only the top six finishers (10–6–4–3–2–1) to awarding points down to eighth place (10–8–6–5–4–3–2–1). The aim was to close up the title battles and give midfield teams greater reward for consistency.

The 2003 season was originally set to feature the Belgian Grand Prix on 31 August, but the race was cancelled following a dispute over tobacco advertising laws. Despite the fact that several other rounds on the calendar ran without tobacco branding, the regulatory clash forced Spa-Francorchamps off the schedule for the year—leaving fans without one of the sport’s most iconic circuits.
2003 Formula 1 Race Reports
Round 1: Australian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 9 March 2003
Circuit: Albert Park Circuit
Laps: 58 laps, 307.574 km
Circuit Length: 5.303 km
The 2003 Australian Grand Prix, held at the Albert Park Circuit, began the season with David Coulthard for McLaren securing the win. The podium was completed by Juan Pablo Montoya for Williams finishing in second place, and Coulthard’s teammate, Kimi Räikkönen taking third.
Race conditions were challenging with intermittent rain, with Williams seeming to have the first victory of the year in their pocket; Montoya spun after entering the first corner too fast, with eight laps from the end. It was David Coulthard’s 13th and final race victory of his Formula One career.
Round 2: Malaysian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 23 March 2003
Circuit: Sepang International Circuit
Laps: 56
Circuit length: 5.543 km (3.444 miles)
The 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix was the venue for the season’s second race, where Fernando Alonso captured his first F1 pole position and F1 podium finish in third place with Renault. He also set a new record as the youngest driver to lead a Grand Prix, a record that stood until Sebastian Vettel broke it in 2007. Kimi Raikkonen won the race, driving for McLaren. This was Räikkönen’s first Formula One Grand Prix victory. Rubens Barrichello finished second for Ferrari.
Round 3: Brazilian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 6 April 2003
Circuit: Autódromo José Carlos Pace
Laps: 54 (71 scheduled)
Circuit length: 4.309 km (2.677 miles)
The 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix marked the 700th World Championship race and became one of the most controversial in F1 history, ultimately being decided in court.
The dramatic event saw half the grid crash out, and when Fernando Alonso’s Renault struck debris from Mark Webber’s separate accident, the race was red-flagged. Amid unfolding fuel strategies, confusion ensued over the rightful winner. Giancarlo Fisichella, believing he had secured victory, celebrated with Jordan team boss Eddie Jordan—only to be informed that Kimi Raikkonen and McLaren had been awarded the win. Adding to the chaos, Fisichella’s car caught fire in the pit lane.
Six days later, the FIA ruled in Fisichella’s favour, confirming him as the rightful winner. Raikkonen took second, with Fernando Alonso third. Adding to the occasion, it was the Jordan team’s 200th Grand Prix, which would also turn out to be their last F1 win and the last win for the Ford-Cosworth engine. The ruling,w which determined the result, Article 154 Case C, remains in place today.
Round 4: San Marino Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 20 April 2003
Circuit: Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari
Laps: 62
Circuit length: 4.933 km (3.065 miles)
Michael Schumacher claimed victory at the 2003 San Marino Grand Prix, securing a win from pole position for Ferrari in the 62-lap race. Kimi Raikkonen finished second for McLaren, while Rubens Barrichello completed the podium in third, making it a strong result for Ferrari at their home race.
The race was characterised by an emotional backdrop, as Michael and brother Ralf Schumacher took to the grid despite the passing of their mother, Elisabeth, just hours before the Grand Prix. At the start, Ralf made a bold move, driving for Williams, overtaking his brother to take the early lead, holding onto it until the first round of pit stops. However, Michael regained control of the race and went on to take his first victory of the season, dedicating the win to his late mother. They had sported black armbands and no champagne was sprayed on the podium as a mark of respect.
Round 5: Spanish Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 4 May 2003
Circuit: Circuit de Catalunya
Laps: 65
Circuit length: 4.730 km
In 2003, Michael Schumacher showered praise on the new Ferrari, the F2003-GA, saying, “It’s something special, so beautiful, so fine” following his victory in the 2003 Spanish Grand Prix. Meanwhile, championship leader Kimi Raikkonen faced a setback as he collided with the stalled Jaguar of Antonio Pizzonia after lights out on the grid. From there, Schumacher maintained complete control of the race. However, stealing the headlines and the admiration of the 96,000-strong crowd was 22-year-old local talent Fernando Alonso, who clinched second place in his Renault. Reflecting on his result, Alonso remarked, “That was the fifth consecutive race in which I have finished in the points, which is all I could have dreamt of,” he said. “And I am still dreaming.” Schumacher’s teammate Rubens Barrichello finished third.
Round 6: Austrian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 18 May 2003
Circuit: A1 Ring
Laps: 71
Circuit length: 4.326 km
On May 18, Michael Schumacher overcame two aborted starts, a rain shower, and a pit lane fire to win the 2003 Austrian Grand Prix. Issues with Christiano da Matta’s launch-control system led to two aborted starts. Once underway, Schumacher initially led but faced a brief rain shower. During his pit stop, his fuel hose caught fire, but he calmly waited until given the all-clear and rejoined in third. Passing Kimi Raikkonen‘s McLaren and taking the lead after the Williams of Juan Pablo Montoya failed, Schumacher held on to win the race.
Räikkönen finished second driving for McLaren, with Rubens Barrichello third in the other Ferrari. It was the last Austrian Grand Prix to be held until it returned to the renamed Red Bull Ring in 2014.
Round 7: Monaco Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 1 June 2003
Circuit: Circuit de Monaco
Laps: 78
Circuit length: 3.370 km
Juan Pablo Montoya achieved his only win in Monte Carlo at the 2003 Monaco Grand Prix, narrowly beating the McLaren of Kimi Raikkonen by less than a second. The race was decided during the pit stops when Montoya overtook his teammate, Ralf Schumacher, during refuelling and maintained his lead on the tight circuit. Early on, Heinz-Harald Frentzen suffered a severe crash at the Swimming Pool section, hitting the barriers after misjudging the kerb. Montoya’s victory marked Williams‘ first win in Monaco in over 20 years and remains their last to date. Their previous win came in 1983 with Keke Rosberg. German Michael Schumacher third in a Ferrari.
There were no recorded on-track overtakes during this race, which was one of the very few occasions in Formula One history where this happened. The other three races not to feature any on-track overtakes were the controversial 2005 United States Grand Prix and 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, as well as the 2009 European Grand Prix
Round 8: Canadian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 15 June 2003
Circuit: Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve
Laps: 70
Circuit length: 4.361 km
Michael Schumacher secured a win at the 2003 Canadian Grand Prix, pushing him into a three-point lead over Kimi Raikkonen in the season’s championship standings.
Despite the win, Schumacher had stiff competition, with Ralf Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Fernando Alonso closely battling the win with him, all finishing within 3.4 seconds of each other. The Daily Mail said:
“The good news is that Schumacher was hounded every inch of the way to the chequered flag by the Williams-BMW duo of his brother Ralf and Juan Pablo Montoya, and Fernando Alonso in the Renault. A mere 3.4 seconds separated the leading quartet.”
This was the fourth time that the Schumacher brothers had finished 1-2, having become the first siblings to do so at the 2001 Canadian Grand Prix on 10 June.
Round 9: European Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 29 June 2003
Circuit: Nürburgring
Laps: 60
Circuit length: 5.148 km
The Williams of Ralf Schumacher triumphed at the Nurburgring for the 2003 European Grand Prix in front of his home crowd, while his brother and championship leader, Michael Schumacher, experienced a challenging weekend.
Kimi Raikkonen was initially poised for victory after securing pole position, but his race ended prematurely due to an engine failure on lap 25 while leading. This mishap handed a comfortable lead to Ralf, who had already outperformed Michael at the start.
Throughout the weekend, Michael’s Ferrari, equipped with Bridgestone tyres, struggled against cars with Michelin tyres, including Juan Pablo Montoya in the Williams who eventually finished in second. Montoya determined not to trail the Ferrari, executed a bold overtake around the outside at the hairpin. Despite leaving adequate room, the two cars made contact, causing Michael to spin. Controversially, marshals intervened to remove Michael’s car from the gravel, citing its potentially dangerous position. He resumed the race and managed to secure a fifth-place finish, earning four critical points. Rubens Barrichello finished third for Ferrari.
Round 10: French Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 6 July 2003
Circuit: Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours
Laps: 70
Circuit length: 4.411 km
Juan Pablo Montoya strained his relationship with the Williams team at the 2003 French Grand Prix after shouting abuse over the radio at his pit wall for favouring his teammate and eventual race winner Ralf Schumacher. Both Williams drivers had been dominant, but a minor mistake during Montoya’s first pit stop and the team’s decision to fuel him for a shorter stint than Schumacher infuriated the Colombian driver. While Williams attempted to downplay the incident at the time, it marked the beginning of a steadily deteriorating relationship between Montoya and the team, leading to his departure in 2004.
Round 11: British Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 20 July 2003
Circuit: Silverstone Circuit
Laps: 60
Circuit length: 5.141 km (3.194 miles)
One of the most bizarre races in history happened at the 2003 British Grand Prix at Silverstone when a defrocked Irish Roman Catholic priest, Father Cornelius Horan, burst onto the Hangar Straight with a confused religious message. Claiming the world was coming to an end, Horan’s sudden appearance forced drivers to swerve out of his way. Though his prediction proved false, he nearly halted the race, prompting the deployment of a safety car to facilitate his arrest. The incident dramatically altered the race order, leading to an unexpectedly thrilling race.
Rubens Barrichello, who started from pole position, initially lost a few places but fared better than his Ferrari teammate Michael Schumacher, along with Juan Pablo Montoya and Fernando Alonso, who all fell out of the top ten. Barrichello staged a remarkable comeback, executing a brilliant overtake around Kimi Raikkonen at Bridge, ultimately securing one of the greatest victories of his career. Montoya finished second after an impressive drive through the field, with Raikkonen taking third.
Horan was charged with aggravated trespass and pleaded guilty, claiming an open gate onto the track was a sign from God. He was sentenced to two months in jail but later gained more fame on the TV show Britain’s Got Talent.
Round 12: German Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 3 August 2003
Circuit: Hockenheimring
Laps: 67
Circuit length: 4.574 km (2.842 miles)
Williams driver Juan Pablo Montoya completed a hat-trick by securing pole, the fastest lap, and victory at the 2003 German Grand Prix. Michael Schumacher, competing in his home race, managed only seventh place but maintained a six-point lead in the 2003 Drivers’ Championship by the end of the weekend.
David Coulthard finished second for McLaren, with Jarno Trulli third in a Renault.
Schumacher went on to become F1 world champion for the fourth time in a row (and sixth time overall) for Ferrari with 93 points.
Round 13: Hungarian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 24 August 2003
Circuit: Hungaroring
Laps: 70
Circuit length: 4.381 km (2.722 miles)
Renault and Spanish driver Fernando Alonso made history by becoming the youngest-ever Grand Prix winner (at the time) at 22 years and 104 days, securing his first victory at the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix. This win came 43 years after Bruce McLaren set the previous record. Alonso capitalised on poor starts from the Williams duo of Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher, while the faster McLaren of Kimi Raikkonen was held up by Mark Webber‘s Jaguar, along with the rest of Alonso’s challengers. This allowed Alonso to build a significant lead, ultimately winning by nearly 17 seconds ahead of Raikkonen and Montoya. More importantly, this victory intensified the battle for the Drivers’ Championship, with Michael Schumacher on 72 points, Montoya on 71, and Raikkonen on 70.
Round 14: Italian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 14 September 2003
Circuit: Autodromo Nazionale di Monza
Laps: 53
Circuit length: 5.793 km (3.600 miles)
Michael Schumacher, driving for Ferrari, won the 2003 Italian Grand Prix after starting from pole position. Juan Pablo Montoya finished second in a Williams, with Rubens Barrichello securing third in the other Ferrari. Marc Gene, replacing the injured Ralf Schumacher in the sister Williams, achieved his highest-ever Formula One finish and scored his final points in the sport. Until the 2023 race, this event held the record for the shortest-duration fully completed Formula One World Championship race, with the fastest average race speed ever recorded at 247.585 km/h.
Round 15: United States Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 28 September 2003
Circuit: Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Laps: 73
Circuit length: 4.192 km (2.604 miles)
Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher won the 2003 United States Grand Prix after starting from seventh on the grid. McLaren’s Kimi Raikkonen, who started from pole position, finished second, while Sauber driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen secured third place, marking his first podium finish in three years and the final one of his career.
Round 16: Japanese Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 12 October 2003
Circuit: Suzuka International Racing Course
Laps: 53
Circuit length: 5.807 km (3.608 miles)
At the 2003 Japanese Grand Prix, the remarkable Michael Schumacher wrote his name in the record books by securing his sixth Drivers’ title – and his fourth of five in a row, surpassing the record set by Juan Manuel Fangio in 1957. He finished eighth, but as Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello took the chequered flag to deny his nearest rival Kimi Raikkonen, he took the championship. It was a fair result as Schumacher had six wins to Raikkonen’s one, even if his race was not one of his best, with a couple of scares along the way. It was also enough for Ferrari to seal the 2003 Constructors’ Championship. “The feelings are not there now,” Schumacher said. “I can feel for the team but not for me, they have not sunk in yet. I am empty, exhausted. It’s very strange for me. Most of my championships I have won with a victory but here I am winning it with eighth place so it is a mixed emotion.” Raikkonen’s McLaren teammate, David Coulthard, finished third.
This race was the final one in which cars used launch control and fully automatic gearboxes, both of which were reintroduced at the 2001 Spanish Grand Prix. The FIA banned these electronic driver-aids in the 2004 season. It was also the last Grand Prix appearance for Heinz-Harald Frentzen, a three-time race winner, and Jos Verstappen, the father of future multiple world champion Max Verstappen.
