Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has signed a four year exclusive official licence with Formula One Administration to be the official publisher of licensed Formula One games. The new deal was launched at the European Grand Prix with a Playstation battle between Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso.

The new Formula One 2003 game features the latest rules and one-run qualifying.
