  2. Jenson Button's debut F1 season

    Jenson Button's debut F1 season

    Bring Back V10s returns for its 11th season, and we're kicking things off with an in-depth look back at Jenson Button's first F1 season with Williams in 2000, with the help of Mark Hughes and ex-Williams insider Jim Wright, alongside host Glenn Freeman. There's lots of behind-the-scenes stories all the way from how Button got into the frame for the Williams drive, the shootout test against Bruno Junqueira that earned him the seat, and what was really going on inside Williams with Juan Pablo Montoya being readied to replace Button for 2001. On track we look at the highs and lows of Button's season, from almost scoring points from the back of the grid on his debut, to standout performances at F1's classic circuits like Silverstone, Spa and Suzuka, as well as the times he excelled in mixed conditions - just as he would over the rest of his F1 career.

    1997 Revisited: European GP (Jerez)

    Our look back at the 1997 season concludes with that year's epic finale, where title rivals Jacques Villeneuve and Michael Schumacher collided, and Mika Hakkinen came through to take the first race win of his F1 career on a day where Williams and his McLaren team came to an agreement over who should win the race.  In this extended episode, Glenn, Ben, Matt and Edd also discuss Villeneuve's run-in with Eddie Irvine during practice, the three-way tie for pole position, and Williams's clumsy handling of the early stages of the race while Schumacher's Ferrari shot off into the lead. And if you're sad the 1997 Revisited series is over, fear not! We have one more special episode to come, and we'll be giving the same treatment to another classic F1 season next year!

    1997 revisited: Japanese GP

    The 1997 Japanese Grand Prix weekend often gets overlooked because of what followed it at the Jerez title decider. But Suzuka set the scene for that famous finale with plenty of drama of its own. Here on 1997 Revisited we look back at how the penultimate round of the season shaped what was to come, from Jacques Villeneuve's inexplicable yellow flag infringement in practice, how he and Williams approached the race once he was reinstated under appeal, and how Ferrari and Michael Schumacher avoided all of Williams's traps - and some late interference from Damon Hill - to gain the upper hand in the title race.

    BBV10s Extra: Best sponsors, guilty pleasures and cars we'd like to own - Your questions part 3!

    For our third and final members-only Bring Back V10s Q&A, Glenn Freeman is joined by Andrew van de Burgt and Matt Beer to tackle another brilliant batch of your questions. Subjects taken on include manufacturers we'd like to see come back to F1, the best sponsors of the V10 era, our guilty pleasures, and a fantastic question about which fifth-placed finishing car in the championship we'd want to own! Glenn also offers a rare insight into how the subjects for episodes are chosen in each series.

    1997 revisited: Luxembourg GP

    The iconic image from F1's first 'Luxembourg Grand Prix' in 1997 has to be Ralf Schumacher's Jordan spinning over the side of his brother's Ferrari, inflicting a critical blow to Michael's championship hopes. But as we discuss on our latest 1997 Revisited episode, the real culprit for this clash seems to have got away with his role in it over the years, and this memorable incident took attention away from an almost disastrous separate clash involving Schumacher's title rival Jacques Villeneuve.  We also reflect on McLaren's humiliating double retirement on home ground for Mercedes, more Damon Hill misery, and Olivier Panis scoring points on his return from injury.

    1997 revisited: Austrian GP

    F1's return to Austria after a decade away was action packed, with Jacques Villeneuve coming through the chaos to get his championship challenge back on course.  Beyond Villeneuve's win, we look back on Jarno Trulli's heroics for Prost, Stewart's cameo at the front, a famous clash between Jean Alesi and Eddie Irvine, and Michael Schumacher's costly yellow flag infringement.
