Our latest top 10 debate on Bring Back V10s is all about the biggest driver moves from F1's V10 era.
Glenn Freeman is joined - as always - by Edd Straw, Matt Beer and Ben Anderson, to argue over which moves were the most seismic from 1989-2005, with sub-debates including if drivers moving between teams should be more important than a shocking signing from outside F1, or a driver unexpectedly quitting. And should the success of a move play a role in how highly it's ranked?
The biggest names from the era all feature in our final list, including Schumacher, Senna, Prost, and Mansell, but which move came out as number one, and who of our panelists had the craziest picks? Listen along to find out.

Bring Back V10s is revisiting the story of Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Jordan nearly pulling off one of F1's greatest championship upsets, but this time we're doing it in much more depth and with the man himself to help us tell the tale!
We covered the end of the '99 season from Jordan's perspective back in season one, and now we are looking back over the whole year with Frentzen joining Glenn Freeman and Edd Straw to give us the inside story.
We look back on his tense start to life at Jordan, what it was like teaming up with Damon Hill after Frentzen so famously replaced him at Williams, plus all the highs and lows of a memorable year for the team in yellow.
Sadly, that means discussing the late-season heartbreak at the Nurburgring too, where we find out if it still hurts Frentzen all these years later that a potentially pivotal victory slipped through his fingers on home soil.

Gerhard Berger's final F1 victory was an emotional one, as he dominated the 1997 German GP at Hockenheim not only on his return after missing three races, but also in the aftermath of his father's death.
In a special, additional episode for season 10 of Bring Back V10s, we've combined the next episode in our members-only '1997 Revisited' series with an exclusive interview with Berger, where he recalls his memories from that weekend.
Before that, Glenn Freeman, Matt Beer, Ben Anderson and Edd Straw discuss the main talking points from the weekend, including Berger's winning return, the breakdown of his relationship with his Benetton team, plus Giancarlo Fisichella's heartbreak with Jordan, and a miserable weekend for Williams and Jacques Villeneuve.

On this episode, Bring Back V10s turns the clock back to 1997 when three-time world champion Jackie Stewart and his son Paul joined the F1 grid with their eponymous team Stewart Grand Prix.
Glenn Freeman is joined by Edd Straw and Matt Beer to look back on what proved an up and down debut season in the sport, which included Rubens Barrichello’s stunning podium in Monaco, a woeful reliability record that resulted in just eight classified finishes out of a possible thirty-four, underwhelming performances from the then much-heralded Jan Magnussen, and behind-the-scenes political manoeuvring with the FIA…

Bring Back V10s is going IndyCar racing again, heading back to the 1995 Indy 500 - a race Jacques Villeneuve ranks above his epic 1997 F1 title decider with Michael Schumacher as the greatest of his career.
Glenn Freeman and Matt Beer are joined by longtime IndyCar reporter Curt Cavin to look back at a crazy race, which was the last before US single-seater racing's dreaded CART vs IRL 'split' that changed the racing landscape in North America.
But this episode isn't just a celebration of Villeneuve's incredible victory after getting a two-lap penalty. We also look at the pre-race shock of the Penske team failing to qualify, Firestone's stunning return to the Speedway for the first time since the 1970s, Honda's recovery from a humiliating 1994 attempt, and the moment that decided the race, when Villeneuve's fellow Canadian Scott Goodyear passed the pace car on the final restart, getting himself black flagged while leading.
With 'the split' on the horizon, we also look at the political landscape in IndyCar racing in May 1995, when nobody realised just how bad the battle between CART and the IRL was about to become.

Our latest trip into F1's V8 era is the Hungarian Grand Prix, as recently voted for by our members!
Karun Chandhok and Mark Hughes join Glenn Freeman to look back on a weekend where the Fernando Alonso/Lewis Hamilton rivalry exploded in qualifying, and we explore what was really going on behind the scenes - in particular between Alonso and McLaren team boss Ron Dennis.
This huge weekend in McLaren's season also featured new developments in the spygate controversy, a case that would be reopened in the weeks that followed, after McLaren had initially been let off by the FIA!

Only one of Thierry Boutsen's three F1 wins came in dry conditions, but it was a famous victory, as he held off the field for the entire 1990 Hungarian Grand Prix, going as slowly as he could out front to make his tyres last the distance without requiring a pitstop.
Edd Straw and Andrew van de Burgt join Glenn Freeman to look back on Boutsen's masterclass, and the chaos that went on behind him, including two collisions that involved McLaren drivers punting people off at the Hungaroring's tricky chicane. Plus, we dissect Ayrton Senna's race, as he came back from a puncture to miss out on victory to his good friend by 0.2 seconds.
As always we work our way through the other big topics in F1 at the time, including Nigel Mansell's supposed retirement, Williams trying to sign Senna, Benetton laying the foundations for its mid-1990s title success, the decline of Lotus, and Eddie Jordan getting very upset with the politics of F1 before his team had even joined the grid.

Michael Schumacher turned the tide on McLaren's dominant start to the 1998 F1 season with a surprise victory in Argentina, having collided with David Coulthard to take the lead early in the race.
Ben Anderson and Matt Beer join Glenn Freeman to look back on how Schumacher and Ferrari got themselves into the hunt after McLaren dominated the first two races of the year, and how the Goodyear tyre that helped Ferrari worked against reigning champion Williams.
They also discuss how F1's new rules for 1998 were being viewed by the public, Jordan's nightmare start to 1998, McLaren signing a teenage karter called Lewis Hamilton, Benetton's failed attempt to steal Ford away from Stewart, and Jean Alesi running into Sauber team-mate Johnny Herbert on their first lap out of the pits during practice!

Kimi Raikkonen's suspension failure on the final lap of the 2005 European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring is one of the iconic images of that season. On this episode of Bring Back V10s, Glenn Freeman is joined by Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson to look back at how close Raikkonen and McLaren came to hanging on in front of Fernando Alonso, and all the factors that led to Kimi nursing a badly flat-spotted tyre almost all the way to the finish.
They also take a closer look at Ferrari's struggles that year, including a surprising admission from Michael Schumacher, plus the spat he was having with team-mate Rubens Barrichello coming out of the previous race in Monaco. There was tension elsewhere in the paddock as well, with Jacques Villeneuve in trouble with his boss Peter Sauber, and BMW denying rumours it was about to buy Sauber as its strained relationship with Williams was coming to an end.
On track, BMW and Williams enjoyed a rare high spot with Nick Heidfeld claiming his only F1 pole and converting that into a podium, there was another tweak to the one-shot qualifying format, and BAR cheekily tried to replace its engines early on returning from a two-race ban.
Plus - how David Coulthard threw away a potential first F1 podium for Red Bull, and Jarno Trulli's bizarre claim that he could have won this race!

Season 10 of Bring Back V10s is here! Karun Chandhok and Edd Straw join Glenn Freeman to look back on a memorable weekend at Silverstone, where Damon Hill came agonisingly close to claiming his first F1 victory in front of his home crowd.
But a rare Renault engine failure for Hill allowed his Williams team-mate Alain Prost to claim a then-record 50th win, while Prost's bitter rival Ayrton Senna stopped on the final lap of the race for the third year running.
The weekend played out with tension brewing between the FIA and teams over the legality of driver aids, and Bernie Ecclestone taking shots at Indycar racing where reigning F1 champion Nigel Mansell was making international headlines.
We also get the inside story of how Williams upset one of its sponsors so badly that they decided to quit F1 at the end of that season.

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.

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!

The 1996 Portuguese Grand Prix is famous for one thing: Jacques Villeneuve's thrilling around-the-outside pass on Michael Schumacher's Ferrari at the fearsome final corner, which set him up for a charge to victory that kept that year's title battle alive all the way to the final race in Japan.
Matt Beer and Ben Anderson join a giddy Glenn Freeman to revisit one of Villeneuve's greatest days in F1, also looking at how Schumacher really reacted to the move in private.
We also discuss Damon Hill somewhat limping to the title after starting the year so well, plus how Stewart and Jordan did battle for his signature for 1997 before he chose Arrows. There's also talk of Ralf Schumacher rejecting McLaren to sign for Jordan, Sauber landing its Ferrari engine deal, Eddie Irvine benefitting from some rare Ferrari testing, and what happened after McLaren team-mates David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen collided during the race.

Bring Back V10s has gone hybrid! 10 years on from the introduction of the modern-day F1 engines that don't make enough noise and are missing four cylinders, Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw and Ben Anderson revisit the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix - a race famous for Daniel Ricciardo taking his maiden F1 win for Red Bull, and Mercedes suffering its first hybrid-era defeat.
We look back at the early shots in the Lewis Hamilton/Nico Rosberg war, Ferrari's nightmare start to the era, how the tension between Red Bull and Renault almost forced Adrian Newey out the door, Haas delaying its entry into F1, Jenson Button fighting for his future at McLaren, and Bernie Ecclestone's stance against social media.

Ferrari produced one of its worst F1 cars in 1992, and predictably endured a miserable season as a result. David Tremayne joins Glenn Freeman and Andrew van de Burgt to look back at the attractive Ferrari F92A, famed for its radical 'twin floor', to explore why the year went so badly for the Prancing Horse.
We also look at the upheaval that was going on behind the scenes at Ferrari, including the returns of Luca di Montezemolo, Niki Lauda and John Barnard, and pinpoint how this dreadful season at least laid some of the foundations for the brilliant Michael Schumacher-Jean Todt era that was to follow. Plus we spare a thought for poor Ivan Capelli, whose dream move to Ferrari turned so sour he didn't even get to complete the season before being sacked in brutal fashion.

The Schumacher brothers were at the top of the F1 mountain in the summer of 2001, and they arrived on home soil at the Nurburgring with Michael comfortably leading the championship, and Ralf having just taken the second win of his career and signing a big new contract with Williams.
The scene was set for another Schumacher vs Schumacher contest when they shared the front row at the Nurburgring, but Ralf's day unravelled - first with a typical startline 'chop' from his brother, and then when Ralf became the first high-profile offender to cross the pit exit white line, earning him a drive-through penalty that led to him storming out of the track on Sunday night.
Glenn Freeman is joined by Matt Beer and Edd Straw to revisit a memorable weekend for the Schumachers plus everything else that was going on in F1 at the time, including Jenson Button's Benetton struggles, Mika Hakkinen's lack of interest in helping David Coulthard, a bizarre CART vs F1 row, early tests of the HANS device, and two drivers signing contracts for 2002 that would not be honoured.

The 1994 Belgian Grand Prix will forever be remembered as the race where Michael Schumacher was excluded for the plank under his Benetton being too worn down. But it was also the weekend when Rubens Barrichello claimed a shock first pole for Jordan, and the iconic Eau Rouge sequence was sanitised by the addition of a slow-speed chicane.
Gary Anderson - the main responsible for Barrichello's slick-tyre gamble in qualifying - and Sam Smith join Glenn Freeman to revisit a time in F1 when Renault signed up with Benetton for 1995, Nigel Mansell was still in the mix for a full-time Williams seat, McLaren was trying to get Jordan to take its Peugeot engines, Mercedes was running out of patience with Sauber, Forti was getting ready to come into F1, and Damon Hill challenged David Coulthard to a fight!
