    S10 E4: Hungary '90 - Boutsen's no-stop masterpiece
    Jul 25 2024
    Only one of Thierry Boutsen's three F1 wins came in dry conditions, but it was a famous victory, as he held off the field for the entire 1990 Hungarian Grand Prix, going as slowly as he could out front to make his tyres last the distance without requiring a pitstop. Edd Straw and Andrew van de Burgt join Glenn Freeman to look back on Boutsen's masterclass, and the chaos that went on behind him, including two collisions that involved McLaren drivers punting people off at the Hungaroring's tricky chicane. Plus, we dissect Ayrton Senna's race, as he came back from a puncture to miss out on victory to his good friend by 0.2 seconds. As always we work our way through the other big topics in F1 at the time, including Nigel Mansell's supposed retirement, Williams trying to sign Senna, Benetton laying the foundations for its mid-1990s title success, the decline of Lotus, and Eddie Jordan getting very upset with the politics of F1 before his team had even joined the grid.

  • S10 E3: Argentina '98 - Schumacher fights back

    S10 E3: Argentina '98 - Schumacher fights back
    Jul 17 2024
    Michael Schumacher turned the tide on McLaren's dominant start to the 1998 F1 season with a surprise victory in Argentina, having collided with David Coulthard to take the lead early in the race. Ben Anderson and Matt Beer join Glenn Freeman to look back on how Schumacher and Ferrari got themselves into the hunt after McLaren dominated the first two races of the year, and how the Goodyear tyre that helped Ferrari worked against reigning champion Williams. They also discuss how F1's new rules for 1998 were being viewed by the public, Jordan's nightmare start to 1998, McLaren signing a teenage karter called Lewis Hamilton, Benetton's failed attempt to steal Ford away from Stewart, and Jean Alesi running into Sauber team-mate Johnny Herbert on their first lap out of the pits during practice!

  • S10 E2: Nurburgring '05 - Kimi's tyre nightmare

    S10 E2: Nurburgring '05 - Kimi's tyre nightmare
    Jul 10 2024
    Kimi Raikkonen's suspension failure on the final lap of the 2005 European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring is one of the iconic images of that season. On this episode of Bring Back V10s, Glenn Freeman is joined by Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson to look back at how close Raikkonen and McLaren came to hanging on in front of Fernando Alonso, and all the factors that led to Kimi nursing a badly flat-spotted tyre almost all the way to the finish. They also take a closer look at Ferrari's struggles that year, including a surprising admission from Michael Schumacher, plus the spat he was having with team-mate Rubens Barrichello coming out of the previous race in Monaco. There was tension elsewhere in the paddock as well, with Jacques Villeneuve in trouble with his boss Peter Sauber, and BMW denying rumours it was about to buy Sauber as its strained relationship with Williams was coming to an end. On track, BMW and Williams enjoyed a rare high spot with Nick Heidfeld claiming his only F1 pole and converting that into a podium, there was another tweak to the one-shot qualifying format, and BAR cheekily tried to replace its engines early on returning from a two-race ban. Plus - how David Coulthard threw away a potential first F1 podium for Red Bull, and Jarno Trulli's bizarre claim that he could have won this race! Want MORE BBV10s?

  • S10 E1: Silverstone '93 - Hill's Heartbreak

    S10 E1: Silverstone '93 - Hill's Heartbreak
    Jul 3 2024
    Season 10 of Bring Back V10s is here! Karun Chandhok and Edd Straw join Glenn Freeman to look back on a memorable weekend at Silverstone, where Damon Hill came agonisingly close to claiming his first F1 victory in front of his home crowd. But a rare Renault engine failure for Hill allowed his Williams team-mate Alain Prost to claim a then-record 50th win, while Prost's bitter rival Ayrton Senna stopped on the final lap of the race for the third year running. The weekend played out with tension brewing between the FIA and teams over the legality of driver aids, and Bernie Ecclestone taking shots at Indycar racing where reigning F1 champion Nigel Mansell was making international headlines. We also get the inside story of how Williams upset one of its sponsors so badly that they decided to quit F1 at the end of that season. ▶️ Watch the McLaren anniversary event we talk about in the show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDTO9XyNE_Q Want MORE BBV10s?

    Digging into motor racing history with the hosts of our new podcast
    Apr 8 2024
    As a listener to Bring Back V10s, we know you enjoy your F1 history, so we thought you'd like to hear about The Race's new podcast, which delves into other areas of motor racing history. On this very special crossover episode of Bring Back V10s, Glenn Freeman chats to Matt Bishop and Richard Williams - the hosts of And Colossally That's History! - about their new podcast and what listeners can expect. Glenn then introduces a section of the first episode, which is about Brawn GP and some of the unintended consequences of their F1 fairy tale. It's full of interesting details and behind-the-scenes information (Matt was working for McLaren at the time!), so we hope it's a topic that will appeal to BBV10s fans, even if it does stray into the V8 era! If you enjoy this chat with Matt and Richard (and the excerpt of the podcast) please do search for And Colossally That’s History in your podcast app of choice and like, follow or subscribe to the feed so that you can listen to the rest of the Brawn episode and ensure that you get each episode of the podcast delivered to you as soon as they're are released.
