Notes

Last race: Cristiano da Matta
Kimi Räikkönen's rear wing was broken during the race, leading to a massive accident.
Marc Gené was replaced at Williams by Antônio Pizzonia, returning to Formula One after being sacked by Jaguar following the 2003 British Grand Prix.
The first start was aborted after Olivier Panis indicated a problem with his car. This led to a second formation lap, and the shortening of the race by 1 lap.
First Points: Antônio Pizzonia
