  • S11 E6: The Prost/Ligier saga of 1992

    S11 E6: The Prost/Ligier saga of 1992
    Feb 6 2025
    Bring Back V10s is picking up where its first ever episodes left off, by revisiting what happened to Alain Prost after he was fired by Ferrari in 1991! We’ve reunited the trio from our opening two-parter - Glenn Freeman, Karun Chandhok and Edd Straw - to look at what Prost did in 1992, when he nearly ended up racing for, and buying into, the Ligier team. We look at how close this shock move came to really happening, why it didn’t come off, plus the other offers Prost had for that year, and why his Williams deal for 1993 was kept secret for so long.

  • 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.
