New sponsorship deals have been signed by JTM and FinOz, who both had advertising space left on their cars following the failure to sign all available space up by the end of the Pre-Season bidding process. EIRE - with space available, used all their sponsor enticement budget up pre-season, and could not bid for a further sponsor.

JTM have signed Veltins on a deal until the end of 2004, and FinOz have signed up AMD over the same period (their initial bid for a deal to the end of 2005 was rejected in favour of a remainder of 2004 deal). This up front and per car per race sponsorship money comes through for these teams at the USA GP.
