The 2003 British Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on 20 July 2003 at the Silverstone Circuit.
It was won by polesitter Rubens Barrichello but is probably most well known for a track invasion by the defrocked priest Neil Horan, who ran along Hangar straight, running opposite to the 280 km/h train of cars, wearing a saffron kilt and waving religious banners.
