Bring Back V10s - Classic F1 stories The Race

Things finally came good for Heinz-Harald Frentzen at the 1997 San Marino Grand Prix, where his troubled start for Williams appeared to clear with a maiden victory narrowly ahead of Michael Schumacher's Ferrari. In round four of our 1997 Revisited series, we look back at how Frentzen came out on top, what went wrong for his Williams team-mate Jacques Villeneuve, plus Damon Hill's woeful collision with Shinji Nakano, David Coulthard's comedy engine failure, and another podium finish for Eddie Irvine. 

In round three of our look back at the 1997 F1 season, we recall Jacques Villeneuve's narrow victory over Eddie Irvine, plus Michael Schumacher making a mess of the start, a big 'what if' for Olivier Panis and Prost, and an even bigger 'what if' for Jordan after their drivers collided while in with a chance of winning the race. 

As we're between series on Bring Back V10s at the moment, we thought we'd share a little gift with those of you who aren't part of The Race Members' Club: The first episode of our special members-only series looking back at the 1997 F1 season one race at a time!
Glenn Freeman is joined by Edd Straw, Matt Beer and Ben Anderson to discuss the key moments from the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, where David Coulthard ended McLaren's mid-1990s winless streak, with a slight assist from an overambitious Eddie Irvine.

The second episode, looking back at the 1997 Brazilian Grand Prix, is out already and there's more on the way!

For our next instalment of Bring Back V10s members' questions, Glenn Freeman is joined by Ben Anderson and Matt Beer. Subjects tackled this time include Juan Pablo Montoya racing for Williams in 1999 instead of Alex Zanardi, how Michael Schumacher's 1995 season would have gone with Ford power instead of Renault, what would have happened to David Coulthard without his 1994 Williams call-up, Ferrari's weird 'F1 logo' livery at Spa in 1999, and what we think are common misconceptions about the V10 era. 

We're back with the second episode in our special members-only series looking back at the 1997 F1 season one race at a time! Glenn Freeman is once again joined by Edd Straw, Matt Beer and Ben Anderson to discuss the key moments from Round 2 in Brazil, where Jacques Villeneuve won, Gerhard Berger impressed, and Ferrari's Michael Schumacher didn't. 

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.
