Highlights of Brazilian GP 2003 with ITV commentary. Under Formula One regulations in place at the time, the article stated that, if 75% of the race distance had been completed - in this case 54 completed laps, 76% of race distance - it was "deemed to have finished when the leading car crossed the line at the end of the lap two laps prior to that lap during which the signal to stop was given". The stewards, believing that Fisichella was on his 55th lap and had completed the 54 laps required for a full result, awarded the victory to the race leader at the end of the 53rd lap, namely Räikkönen. Fisichella was awarded second place and Alonso third.
