With twelve qualifying sessions completed for 2003, the differentials are once again on a roll! Let's see which drivers deserve bragging rights.

Austrian Notables

  • Setting the Record Straight: While Kimi Raikkonen equalled his best ever qualifying result - second on the grid - Sauber's Nick Heidfeld and Jaguar's Antonio Pizzonia set in Austria their best grid position ever, fourth and eighth respectively.

  • Exclusions We removed the Jordan duo of Ralph Firman and Giancarlo Fisichella from the Friday differentials graph, due to Firman's crash. Likewise, the Renault duo of Fernando Alonso and Jarno Trulli were excluded from the Saturday differentials graph due to Alonso's crash that day.
