Courtesy of Villeneuve and team-mate French Olivier Panis, the Honda-powered car of the Brackley team now known as Mercedes GP scored a total of 17 points on its way to finishing sixth in the 2001 Constructors' Championship.

Although French-Canadian Villeneuve achieved podium finishes at the Spanish and German Grands Prix, the B.A.R 003 is probably best remembered amongst fans for its high-flying accident with Ralf Schumacher's Williams at the season-opening event in Australia.
