Background edit

The race was preceded by a demonstration of contemporary Formula One cars on Regent Street[3][4] in London, including former British Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell driving the Jordan EJ14.[5] The event attracted an estimated 500,000 spectators.[6]

The event was also notable for the death of Minardi Sporting Director John Walton, who died of a heart attack following the street demonstration, causing the Minardi team to withdraw its cars from Saturday's early practice session.

Friday drivers edit

The bottom 6 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.
