This race has become famous for a 4-stop strategy used by Michael Schumacher to beat Fernando Alonso's Renault.

Rubens Barrichello finished third in his Ferrari, having overtaken Jarno Trulli in the last corners of the last lap.

The bottom six teams in the 2003 Constructors' Championship were entitled to run a third car in free practice on Friday.

These drivers drove on Friday but did not compete in qualifying or the race.
