Summary

We've reached the end of the first series of Bring Back V10s, but we've been so overwhelmed with the number of questions you sent in using #BringBackV10s that we're turning our series finale into a double header! Edd Straw and Matt Beer join Glenn Freeman for part one, where we'll tackle topics including: Why Toyota's megabucks team was always destined to fail, why Benetton never recovered from losing Michael Schumacher, Jean Alesi's aborted switch to Williams, what might have happened in the years that followed if Ayrton Senna had WON the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, Ferrari's hideous 1996 car, how Olivier Panis's leg-breaking crash in Canada in 1997 altered his career, Lola's 1997 disaster, plus our favourite cars and races from the era and much more!

We've made it to the end of the first series of Bring Back V10s, and in typical fashion,

0:10.6

we're going to sign off by breaking our own rules, turning our series finale episode into a double header.

0:16.9

All through the series, we've been asking you to send your questions to us on social media

0:21.0

using the hashtag Bring Back V10s, and we've had so many questions that we can't possibly get through

0:26.4

them all in one episode. So joining me, Glenn Freeman, for part one of our finale, are two Bring Back

0:32.6

V10s regulars, Ed Straw and Matt Beer. Now, jents, we don't have a traditional opening question to fire at you this time,

0:40.0

so I've handed the power there over to Jordan Stover to do it for us.

0:45.1

He sent in a question asking, what is your favourite car of the V10 era?

0:49.6

So, Ed, get us started.

0:51.2

All of the era from 89 onwards, I'd have to say the Jordan 1-9-1.

0:54.9

A beautiful car, wonderful lines, that glorious green colour, performed remarkably as well, taking fifth in the championship, showed that a tiny team with a bit of ingenuity, designed savvy could do great things. Gary Anderson's not here. You don't have to pick his car. This isn't the Gary Anderson show. That's the thing. I'll be recording a Gary Anderson F1 show very shortly and I don't want it to turn into him taking me to task.

0:54.9

Yeah, well, I got in trouble with Gary at preseason testing a few years ago because I told him that the Jordan 191 is my third favourite F1 car of all time. And then you reminded of him of that in a podcast and he said that I should have chosen the Andrea Moda, which I do think

1:29.6

is a pretty good looking car actually. It was horrendous, but pretty good. My favourite would be the

1:34.5

Williams FW 14B, phenomenal car. Iconic with Red 5 on the front taking Nigel Mansell to the

1:41.3

World Championship. But what about you, Matt? Williams FW17, the 1995 car. Maybe not the best looking livery. Maybe not actually the prettiest car,

1:50.6

but that was my favourite season around that time. And it was the car that should have won that title.

1:56.0

But for a variety of rubbish drive and reliability reasons, didn't. So, because i quite like broken things that's that's the

2:02.4

one that's always stuck with me from that era that's a much better card than it gets credit for i

2:06.5

think uh now talking of perhaps underachieving formula one cars our first proper question comes from

2:12.7

villum chechi he says love the podcast can you tell us more about the Ferrari F310, a beautiful failure?

2:21.3

Matt, have we ever heard the word beautiful put next to the Ferrari F310, which is, of course, the 1996 car, the first one Michael Schumacher drove for Ferrari?

2:30.3

I think it's unlikely as it will ever happen, but Willem and I can never kind of do interior design for each other's houses after this question,
