So you don't need to look it up:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_European_Grand_Prix

Then, on the 57th lap, McLaren's David Coulthard suddenly had to swerve around Fernando Alonso approaching the chicane, and spun into retirement. β€œAlonso braked ten metres earlier than he had the lap before,” said Coulthard. β€œHe was dealing inconsistently with problems, as his rear tyres looked completely worn out. But I just got caught out.”[citation needed] The Spaniard continued, and was very nearly caught on the final lap by the recovering world champion. The stewards investigated the incident after a report was filed to them by the FIA race director Charlie Whiting. They spoke to both Alonso and Coulthard and members of their respective teams. After a review of telemetry and video data, no driver was imposed a penalty.

Meh, he was braking at the 100M mark. Not going to make that turn braking much later than that.
