S9 E1: The crazy fallout from Suzuka '89 Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

Bring Back V10s is back for a new series! Longtime F1 journalist and radio commentator Maurice Hamilton joins Glenn Freeman and Edd Straw to revisit the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix, a much-requested race where Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna had the first of their infamous collisions. And as we discover, what went on in the weeks following the race was even more ludicrous than the sight of the two McLarens stranded at the chicane after F1's highest-profile slow-speed accident.

Show notes

For the final episode of series eight we're debating the top 10 title-deciding races of the V10 era. The format is simple: we've taken every race from 1989-2005 where the title was sealed, regardless of if it was a true final-round decider, and then Glenn Freeman, Matt Beer, Edd Straw and Ben Anderson have each come up with a top 10 ranking. Those individual top 10s have then been combined to create an overall result. So listen in to see what we came up with!

S8 E8: 1998 Belgian GP - Carnage, confrontations and a first Jordan win Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

ITV F1's pit lane reporter Louise Goodman joins Glenn Freeman and Ben Anderson to discuss one of the most chaotic races in the V10 era: The 1998 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.

From the monstrous first lap pile-up and subsequent re-start to Michael Schumacher's infamous clash with David Coulthard and Jordan's first ever victory with Damon Hill, this was a race that had it all!

S8 E7: Mansell's stunning 1993 IndyCar season Aug 16, 2023

Show notes

Nigel Mansell pulled off something that will surely never be seen again when he went to IndyCar as the reigning F1 world champion in 1993, and won the American series' title at the first attempt.

Edd Straw and Karun Chandhok join Glenn Freeman to revisit Mansell's incredible first season in CART in great detail, all the way from his stunning debut victory in Australia, to coming back from a horrific crash at Phoenix and nearly winning the Indy 500 on his first oval start. With additional insight from veteran IndyCar reporter Curt Cavin, we explore how Mansell became the dominant force on ovals, rather than the road courses where the ex-F1 star was expected to dominate.

S8 E6: 1989 Hungarian GP - Mansell's masterclass Aug 09, 2023

Show notes

Nigel Mansell took a stunning victory from 12th on the grid at the Hungaroring of all places, where overtaking was thought to be almost impossible. And he capped it off with one of F1's all-time great passes, ambusing Ayrton Senna as the McLaren was baulked behind the ailing Onyx of Stefan Johansson.

Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt join Glenn Freeman to revisit Mansell's brilliant drive, the rumours that Alain Prost was going to be signed as his team-mate (and how Nigel felt about that), plus we have a Tyrrell insider's recollection of a spat between Mansell and F1 newcomer Jean Alesi.

There's also talk of Ford putting pressure on Benetton, Porsche considering an F1 comeback, Yamaha's disastrous year with Zakspeed, and Bernie Ecclestone bizarrely firing shots across the Atlantic at the CART series.

S8 E5: 1995 Australian GP - Hill wins by two laps Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

The 1995 Australian GP was a chaotic race that brought the curtain down on the first part of the Bring Back V10s era in many ways. It was F1's final visit to Adelaide, the last time we saw a V12 Ferrari, the final race before the distinctive high cockpit sides were introduced, and the last race that was started with green lights!

Ben Anderson and Matt Beer join Glenn Freeman to discuss how Damon Hill came through a crazy, attritional race to win by two laps from a smoking Olivier Panis, while the second Williams of David Coulthard famously smashed into the wall at the pit entry while leading.

And earlier in the weekend, F1 narrowly avoided tragedy when Mika Hakkinen suffered a horrible accident at the fastest corner of the circuit - and it wasn't long before rumours emerged that Alain Prost could stand in for him in early 1996 if required.
