  • S11 E5: 2002 US GP - Ferrari's finish-line farce

    S11 E5: 2002 US GP - Ferrari's finish-line farce
    Jan 30 2025
    The most memorable moments from the 2002 F1 season often involve Ferraris messing about on the run to the finish line. But unlike in Austria when the position swap was the result of strict orders from the pit wall, at Indianapolis Michael Schumacher returned the favour - or did he? Host Glenn Freeman is joined by Mark Hughes and Bring Back V10s debutant Jonathan Noble, who were both at the 2002 US Grand Prix. They look back on the confusion around the finish, as Schumacher seemed unable to decide if he was trying to give Barrichello a victory, or engineer a dead heat finish. We also look back on Ford completing a three-month review of its failing Jaguar team, BAR considering its identity for the future, Felipe Massa effectively having F1’s first 10-place grid penalty turned into a race ban by his team, and a shock announcement of a new American F1 team that never came to anything.

  • S11 E4: 1986 Australian GP - Mansell's tyre blow-out drama

    S11 E4: 1986 Australian GP - Mansell's tyre blow-out drama
    Jan 23 2025
    Bring Back V10s ventures into F1’s fearsome 1980s turbo era for the first time, looking back on the incredible 1986 Australian Grand Prix that decided that year’s title. Host Glenn Freeman is joined by Edd Straw and Andrew van de Burgt to reflect on how Alain Prost snatched his second championship from the dominant Williams cars, on the day Nigel Mansell suffered a heart-breaking and terrifying tyre failure when it looked like he was on course to become champion. We also discuss Keke Rosberg’s starring role in helping McLaren team-mate Prost, and if Williams did the right thing by pitting Nelson Piquet as a precaution after Mansell’s failure, which potentially cost the Brazilian the title as well. Away from the race there’s also the time Adrian Newey suffered the only creative block of his F1 career, plus Ferrari landing the services of John Barnard and Gerhard Berger, and being turned down by Mansell.

  • S11 E3: 1991 Portuguese GP - More title misery for Mansell

    S11 E3: 1991 Portuguese GP - More title misery for Mansell
    Jan 16 2025
    Nigel Mansell's 1991 F1 championship charge effectively ended at the Portuguese Grand Prix that year, when a wheel departed from his Williams as he pulled away from his pitstop. Host Glenn Freeman is joined by Edd Straw and Sam Smith to look back in detail at what went wrong in the pits for Williams at Estoril, on a weekend where Mansell's team-mate Riccardo Patrese took an 'easy' win, and Ayrton Senna banked valuable championship points while also taking a swipe at Mansell's aggressive driving at the start of the race. We also look back on Jordan sacrificing its competitive aims for 1992 to make sure it stayed afloat, serious trouble for the Leyton House team, Ford's complaints about F1's engine war, how badly a Minardi-Porsche partnership would have gone, and how Max Mosley caught Jean-Marie Balestre out ahead of their battle for the presidency of FISA.
