Summary

We’ve had an absolute deluge of questions from you for our traditional ‘Ask us Anything’ episode in Season 11, and as ever there were far too many great ones for us to fit them all in one episode. Glenn Freeman, Ben Anderson and Edd Straw have a great selection to work through, including hypothetical questions about how F1 would have looked if Michael Schumacher hadn’t got his F1 debut with Jordan in 1991, or if he’d never existed at all! There’s also the question of if McLaren ever truly valued David Coulthard (and who was better out of DC and Damon Hill!), how Jacques Villeneuve would have got into F1 if there wasn’t a vacancy at Williams in 1996, if McLaren could have won the 1998 championship on Goodyear tyres, and Edd gets to tackle a dream suggestion about what F1 could have done with teams that failed to qualify back in the early days of the V10 era. We’ll have many more Q&A episodes exclusively for The Race Members’ Club after S11 has finished, so we can get through even more of the questions we didn’t make it to this time.
