Formula One 2003 is a racing video game developed by Studio Liverpool and published by Sony Computer Entertainment exclusively for PlayStation 2. It is a sequel to the 2002 video game Formula One 2002 and was based on the 2003 Formula One World Championship.[1]

The game features all the drivers and tracks from the 2003 Formula One World Championship, but does not represent the replacement drivers that featured in the real 2003 Formula One World Championship, therefore Nicolas Kiesa, Zsolt Baumgartner, Marc Gené and Takuma Sato are not featured.

Reception
Formula One 2003 gained mixed to positive reviews upon release, holding an aggregate score of 67.20% on GameRankings.[10]
Kristan Reed of Eurogamer praised the controls and the graphics, stating that "every track is packed with detail, down to the individual trackside adverts, yet there is never any hint of pop up or the kind of draw distance issues that have blighted just about every F1 game ever made".[11] He did however have reservations about the game's car damage and crash physics. He gave the game 8 out of 10.[11] Brodie Gibbons of Futuregamez also praised the graphics but criticised the sound and replay value, scoring the game 77%.[12] Writing in The Guardian, Jack Schofield noted that the game did not offer a large improvement over its predecessor outside the rule changes, but concluded that it "offers more than enough to keep casual gamers happy".[2]
