It took five days for the correct winner of the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix to be declared

in one of the more bizarre endings to a Grand Prix in recent memory.

The confusion summed up a chaotic weekend, not helped by the weather at Interlagos, as F1

was still coming to terms with controversial new rule changes, and Ferrari's dominance

of the previous season was quickly becoming a distant memory, as it once again came away

empty-handed.

I'm Glenn Freeman, and on this episode of Bring Back V10s, we're looking back at a crazy weekend

in F1 history and how Giancarlo Fickelers Jordan eventually ended up as the race winner

several days after the checkered flag fell. Joining me for this one are the show's go-to pairing

when it comes to this part of the V10 era because Mark Hughes and Gary Anderson were both

there that day in Brazil and they've got plenty of firsthand memories they can share with us.

So Mark will come to you first. You were covering this race and I assume you wrote an in-depth

analysis that night that not long after it was published had the wrong winner in it.

But what's the first thing that comes to mind when you think back to Brazil 2003?

It did indeed have the wrong winner in it.

We'll talk about that a little bit later.

But first thing it comes to mind was actually the rainstorm that started

quite a long time before the race was due to begin. Probably hour and three quarters, two hours,

but just this almighty storm came. And in the middle of that storm, I was in the media center, and I was probably a couple of rows away from my actual desk where my laptop was open.

And all of a sudden, the rain stopped coming in through the roof direct onto my keyboard.

And so, yeah, I had to quickly, quickly get over there and rescue it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been writing anything.
