Key moments from the United States Grand Prix

| Lap 2 | Both cars move up a place as Ralf Schumacher spins at the first corner and makes contact with his BMW Williams team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya. |
| Lap 3 | Mika passes Allan in Turn 3 and they continue to lap in 13th and 14th positions. Mika is on a scheduled two-stop strategy whilst Allan will only make one pit-stop during the 73-lap race. |
| Lap 15 | Allan loses a place to Olivier Panis's BAR-Honda which is carrying a lighter two-stop fuel load. |

| Lap 26 | Mika makes his first pit stop and drops down the field. Shortly afterwards he starts to experience a misfire which is cured from the pit wall using bi-directional telemetry.
