- Allan McNish crashed hard during Saturday qualifying coming out of the 130R corner, going backwards so hard into the guardrail that he went through it. McNish was unharmed, but has not raced in Formula One since, Toyota having already announced that he would be dropped for the 2003 Formula One season.
