If you try to think of standout moments from the 2002 F1 season, it probably doesn't take long before you run out of them.

And at least a couple of those are going to involve two Ferraris

messing about on the run to the finish line and swapping positions. But unlike Austria earlier

that year, which we have covered before here on Bring Back V10s, the botched finish at Indianapolis

for the US Grand Prix wasn't the result of stern team orders from the pit wall. In fact, Michael Schumacher had been told not to slow down for teammate Rubens Barrichello,

but he decided to do it anyway, then couldn't make up his mind afterwards

on if he was trying to give Barrichello a win or stage a dead heat.

So to help me, Glenn Freeman, unpick that mess and everything else that was going on in F1 in late 2002,

we have Mark Hughes and making his Bring Back V10s debut.

I'm delighted to welcome the race's latest recruit, Jonathan Noble.

John, welcome to bring back V10s.

To mark your debut, you can take first swing at the traditional opening question.

So when you think of the 2002, US Grand Prix, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

I'm glad you said US Grand Prix there, because nobody messaged me over the winter and said,

can you come on BBV-10s and talk about Ferrari at Indy 2002?

I thought, well, my member is not very good to recall talk about Ferrari at Indy 2002.

I thought,

my member is not very good to recall Ferrari racing at the Indy 500,

so I'll definitely need to review that one. I think even you would remember that.

I'm glad you clarified that.

Yeah, I mean, it has to be Ferrari.
