Strangely, Hockenheimring and Nürburgring both still use their original layouts, and BMW Williams F1 Team use Compaq logos before being bought by HP. This was rectified in the Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Advance versions.

The GameCube version is a port of F1 2001, with only minor differences.^[4]
