The 2003 Formula One season brought competitors to Austria's A1-Ring for the sixth round. Ferrari and McLaren were leading contenders, with Michael Schumacher and Kimi Räikkönen among the championship front-runners, setting up a competitive race weekend at the circuit.
Michael Schumacher started from pole position and won the 69-lap race driving for Ferrari, with Kimi Räikkönen finishing second for McLaren and Rubens Barrichello completing a Ferrari one-three by taking third place on 18 May 2003.
The race proved to be the last Austrian Grand Prix for over a decade, with the event not returning until 2014 when the circuit had been renamed the Red Bull Ring. It was also Ferrari's final victory in Austria until 2022, a gap of nearly nineteen years.
