Michael Schumacher's finest hour in a Benetton came just four races before he would never race for the team again,

in a Grand Prix where he only led three laps. But this was a memorable win made all the more special at the Nürberg Ring, given the manner in which he grabbed it after a flat-out

chase to close down a gap of more than 40 seconds to break the hearts of Jean Alessie and

the Ferrari team Schumacher would be joining for the following season.

Welcome to episode two of the third series of Bring Back V10s, but we are looking back at

the 1995 European Grand Prix and all the stories that were going on in F1 at the time.

I'm Glenn Freeman and joining me today are two guests making their first appearances of the series, Ed Straw and Matt Beer.

And Matt will come to you first so you can have the first go of the traditional opening question.

So when you think back to Nuremberg in 1995, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

A physically and mentally broken Damon Hill limping away from an equally broken Williams,

but applauding as he did so.

Yeah, I think there's a lot about this race that summed up Damon Hill's 1995, so we'll come back to that in quite a lot of depth at multiple points during this episode. Now, Ed, I'm absolutely certain I know what you're going to pick about this race, so don't let me down. Well, I'm going to be as predictable as ever on this one and point to the F1 Swan Song for one of my favourites of the year, Gabrielle Tarkini. Yes. Standing in at Tyrell, finished 14th, six laps down, but it was great to see him getting one last outing in appropriately unpromising circumstances because you just can't beat one-off random appearances. The only disappointment was it wasn't in a 40-courser. Obviously, but it did get him into the

first F-1 PlayStation game, which was the important thing. Now the series is up and running, remember

that for our final episode or two, we'll be taking your questions on anything to do with F1 from

1989 to 2005. All you have to do to submit a question is use the hashtag Bring Back V10s

on Twitter, and that list is already building up, as some of you have got in nice and early before

this series even started. But you can also submit a question by leaving us a five-star podcast review,

and as always, thank you so much to those of you who have already done that. We do really

appreciate it. But let's crack on with why we're here, and that's F1's return to the Nürberg

ring after a decade away. There was a lot going on in the driver market around this time, and

we'll come to some of those stories shortly. But to set the scene for the weekend, we'll take a

look at Williams, where team orders were the big topic of discussion following David Culfard's maiden F1 win a week earlier in Portugal.
