Bring Back V10s - Classic F1 stories The Race

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. 

Welcome to 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.

In a members-exclusive follow-up to our Alex Zanardi 1999 episode from series 9, Glenn Freeman and Matt Beer revisit the chapter of Zanardi's 2004 book, My Story, that focused on his doomed F1 season with Williams. While you heard snippets from that book in the full episode, here we read through the chapter in its entirety - plus part of the late-1998 chapter that precedes it - stopping off along the way to ponder Alex's side of the story in more depth. 

Another series of Bring Back V10s is over, but all that means is it’s time for us to get stuck in with lots of exclusive episodes for The Race Members’ Club! We’re kicking things off with the first of THREE members-only ask us anything shows, and for this one Glenn Freeman is joined by Mark Hughes and Andrew Van de Burgt.

They discuss F1’s decision to get rid of V10s, what would have happened if Nigel Mansell had stayed with Williams instead of going to Ferrari for two years, and a surprising number of questions covering the career of Alain Prost!
