It has been too long without those engine sounds and our theme tune playing, but Bring Back V10 Series 4 is finally here.

We've got all kinds of subjects to get stuck into over the next three months from the V10 era of F1,

and we'll even be treating you to a brief detour into the V8 era that followed

with one special episode later in the series.

I'm your host Glenn Freeman and as always we'll be finishing the series with a couple of

episodes where we take your questions on anything to do with F1 from 1989 to 2005.

You can submit your questions as always by using the hashtag Bring Back V10s on Twitter,

by leaving us a five-star podcast review if you think we deserve it.

And there are now two new ways you can get in touch with us as well.

Bring Back V10s must really have made it now because we've got our own email address.

So feel free to get in touch by writing to Bring Back V10s at

therace.com. And as Ed Straw always says over on the Race F1 podcast, don't forget the hyphen

in the race. We'll also be taking questions from the race's new members club, which you can find

out more about by heading to therace.com forward slash members club. Among the many perks and benefits you can get access to by becoming a member,

you will also get early access to add free versions of new Bring Back V10s episodes,

and your own dedicated episode will we take questions exclusively from our members.

So check out therace.com forward slash members club to find out much more about that.

But now let's get on with series four and we're kicking things off by revisiting the rookie

season of Fernando Alonzo who made his debut in F1 with Plucky Mino Minardi.

Joining me for this look back at Alonzo's Back of the grid heroics, and Mark Hughes and Ed Straw.

Mark, welcome to another series.

You were covering F1 in 2001,
