THE STORY
At the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix on April 6, Giancarlo Fisichella of Jordan Grand Prix executed a bold strategy by pitting early under the safety car, refueling to reach 75% race distance without another stop. This gamble positioned him to lead when the race was red-flagged after 54 laps due to accidents. Initially, Kimi Räikkönen was declared the winner, but after an FIA investigation, Fisichella was confirmed as the victor, marking his first Formula One win and Jordan's last. (grandprix.com)
