Formula One World Championship 2003 is being telecast live on Star Sports - right from the qualifying race to the podium finish, including the Grand Prix - today and tomorrow (11-12 October).

The championship will see whether Michael Schumacher claims the ownership of the drivers' title from Juan Manuel Fangio without any slip up. Schumacher, on 92 points, leads the championship by an almost insurmountable nine points from McLaren's Kimi Räikkönen on 83. Now he just needs to finish in the points (eighth) and he is certain of the crown. Even if he doesn't manage that, his only surviving rival, the Finn Räikkönen, must also win at Suzuka.

The third challenger for most of the campaign, Williams' Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya saw his title hopes fade in Indianapolis when he collided with Schumacher's team mate, the Brazilian Rubens Barrichello. Montoya incurred a stop-and-go penalty for that and could only finish sixth.

The championship promises to be a thrilling one - with many improbabilities such as collisions.
