S8 E4: 2010 Korean GP - Webber's title hopes left in the mud Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

Bring Back V10s makes its regular detour into the V8 era to revisit the 2010 Korean Grand Prix - a day when Red Bull's title hopes with both Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel seemed to disappear.

Edd Straw and Karun Chandhok join Glenn Freeman to look back on a race where Webber crashed out and Vettel's engine blew, allowing Fernando Alonso to claim victory and the championship lead.

Karun also recalls becoming the first driver to take an F1 car out onto the circuit - while it was still being built!

S8 E3: 2000 Australian GP - The Ferrari era begins Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

The 2000 Australian Grand Prix marked the start of Ferrari's dominance of the early years of the 21st century, although it took an assist from an unreliable McLaren team for Michael Schumacher to score his first win in an F1 season-opener since 1995.

Matt Beer and Mark Hughes join Glenn Freeman to revisit how Schumacher got off to the perfect start, Jenson Button's rollercoaster F1 debut after much debate before the season, a bizarre spat between Eddie Irvine and McLaren, and the beginning of F1's 2000s manufacturer boom, with Honda and BMW back on the grid, Toyota waiting in the wings and Renault buying Benetton.

S7 E11: Top 10 team-mate pairings of F1's V10 era Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

Our latest Bring Back V10s Top 10 debate focuses on the best team-mate pairings of the era. Edd Straw, Ben Anderson and Matt Beer join host Glenn Freeman to argue over what makes a great team-mate partnership - with a surprising amount of love for Gerhard Berger!

How did we do it? We took every constructors' championship winning set of team-mates from 1989-2005, added in some wildcards, then from that shortlist each of us made our own top 10 ranking. Those were then combined using F1's current points system to create an overall top 10, which is what we run through for you in great detail.

S7 E10: Australia 2002 - Start chaos and Webber's Minardi heroics Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

The 2002 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne proved a race of dramatically contrasting fortunes for the Schumacher brothers, with Ralf suffering a spectacular first lap retirement and Michael proving a year-old car was no barrier to success.

Edd Straw and Ben Anderson join host Glenn Freeman to pick over the details of a classic race, which featured one of the most iconic first-lap crashes in F1, a somewhat unexpected victory for Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher, and home hero Mark Webber’s unforgettable debut drive to fifth for minnows Minardi.

A host of other big stories that were doing the rounds in F1 at the time are also discussed, including one outfit’s attempts to get onto the grid with assets from the defunct Prost team, and why Ferrari chose to bring their old car to the season-opener rather than their brand-new one.

S7 E9: Imola 1997 - Frentzen's only Williams win Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Heinz-Harald Frentzen was signed to be Williams's next superstar, but after being brought in to replace world champion Damon Hill, he only took one victory and was firmly put in the shade by team-mate Jacques Villeneuve.

Edd Straw and Matt Beer join host Glenn Freeman to revisit that single win, which came at the 1997 San Marino Grand Prix. As well as discussing Frentzen's failure at Williams at great length, we also dig into the other big stories in F1 at the time, including Villeneuve's outburst over the new rules being planned for 1998, Adrian Newey's switch from Williams to McLaren being finalised just before it went to court, British American Tobacco turning down the idea of pairing up with Benetton to come into F1, Jordan fighting to keep Peugeot engines, and a "cheesed off" Damon Hill wiping out Shinji Nakano at the back of the field as his tough start to life with Arrows got the better of him.

S7 E8: Spa 2009 - Raikkonen denies Fisichella and Force India Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

Force India went from a team that hadn't scored a point to claiming a pole position and a podium finish in one incredible weekend at the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix. But should it have been a win? Edd Straw and Ben Anderson join host Glenn Freeman to look at Giancarlo Fisichella's incredible weekend, and how Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari denied a fairytale result.

There's also talk of Jenson Button's mid-season wobble in his title-winning season, his Brawn GP team secretly doing its deal to be taken over by Mercedes, Red Bull chasing Mercedes engines, Luca Badoer's dreadful stint in place of Felipe Massa at Ferrari, and how the Renault 'Crashgate' scandal was finally exposed during this weekend.
