07/27/23 • 76 min

Bring Back V10s makes its regular detour into the V8 era to revisit the 2010 Korean Grand Prix - a day when Red Bull's title hopes with both Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel seemed to disappear.

Edd Straw and Karun Chandhok join Glenn Freeman to look back on a race where Webber crashed out and Vettel's engine blew, allowing Fernando Alonso to claim victory and the championship lead.

Karun also recalls becoming the first driver to take an F1 car out onto the circuit - while it was still being built!

S8 E3: 2000 Australian GP - The Ferrari era begins

The 2000 Australian Grand Prix marked the start of Ferrari's dominance of the early years of the 21st century, although it took an assist from an unreliable McLaren team for Michael Schumacher to score his first win in an F1 season-opener since 1995.

Matt Beer and Mark Hughes join Glenn Freeman to revisit how Schumacher got off to the perfect start, Jenson Button's rollercoaster F1 debut after much debate before the season, a bizarre spat between Eddie Irvine and McLaren, and the beginning of F1's 2000s manufacturer boom, with Honda and BMW back on the grid, Toyota waiting in the wings and Renault buying Benetton.

S8 E5: 1995 Australian GP - Hill wins by two laps

The 1995 Australian GP was a chaotic race that brought the curtain down on the first part of the Bring Back V10s era in many ways. It was F1's final visit to Adelaide, the last time we saw a V12 Ferrari, the final race before the distinctive high cockpit sides were introduced, and the last race that was started with green lights!

Ben Anderson and Matt Beer join Glenn Freeman to discuss how Damon Hill came through a crazy, attritional race to win by two laps from a smoking Olivier Panis, while the second Williams of David Coulthard famously smashed into the wall at the pit entry while leading.

And earlier in the weekend, F1 narrowly avoided tragedy when Mika Hakkinen suffered a horrible accident at the fastest corner of the circuit - and it wasn't long before rumours emerged that Alain Prost could stand in for him in early 1996 if required.
