The Vehicle Stability Assist system is turned off. Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) is an electronic stability control system that works in conjunction with the Pilot's drive-by-wire throttle and its 4-channel ABS systems to enhance controllability while the vehicle is accelerating, braking, cornering or when the driver makes a sudden maneuver. VSA functions by applying brake force to one or more wheels independently while also managing the throttle, ignition and fuel systems to help the vehicle maintain the driver's intended path of travel.
You need to find the VSA button on the dash and push it, this will activat the VSA and turn off the yellow light.
The tires are slipping and that is activating the VSA light.

Standard Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA ®) with Traction Control
and Brake Assist
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) is an electronic stability control
system that works in conjunction with the Pilot's drive-by-wire throttle
and its 4-channel ABS systems to enhance controllability while the
vehicle is accelerating, braking, cornering or when the driver makes a
sudden maneuver. VSA functions by applying brake force to one or more
wheels independently while also managing the throttle, ignition and fuel
systems to help the vehicle maintain the driver's intended path of
travel.
The VSA system constantly analyzes data from seven sensors that
monitor wheel and vehicle speed, steering input, lateral G forces and
yaw rate. It compares the driver's control inputs with the vehicle's
actual response. Whenever the actual response falls outside of a
predetermined acceptable range, VSA intervenes with a corrective action.
For instance, if VSA detects an oversteer condition, the system may
apply braking force to the outside front and rear wheels to counteract
the unintended yawing effect. In the event of understeer, VSA may apply
braking to the inside rear wheel while reducing engine power to help
return the car to its intended course. VSA also provides a limited-slip
differential effect for the front wheels by applying braking force to a
slipping wheel, thereby redirecting driving force to the wheel with more
traction.
There is a button on the lower left part of the dashboard that says
"VSA". Push it and the triangle will dissappear (this should only be turned off if you are using a spare tire that is
smaller than the rest of the tires).
Good luck.

Are refer to the Brake System; in RED and YELLOW condition, continue driving cautiously:
More details about this Warning Lights you can find in the 2003 Mini Cooper - Owners Manual (page 16 and next).
I really hope helps with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.
