The 2004 British Grand Prix (formally the 2004 Formula 1 Foster's British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held at the Silverstone Circuit on 11 July 2004. It was Race 11 of 18 in the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship.
Background[]
The race was preceded by a demonstration of contemporary Formula One cars on Regent Street[2][3] in London, including former British Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell driving the Jordan EJ14.[4] The event attracted an estimated 500,000 spectators.[5]
The event was also notable for the death of Minardi Sporting Director John Walton, who died of a heart attack following the street demonstration, causing the Minardi team to withdraw its cars from Saturday's early practice session.
Friday drivers[]
The bottom 6 teams in the 2003 Constructors' Championship were entitled to run a third car in free practice on Friday. These drivers drove on Friday but did not compete in qualifying or the race.
