Summary

Jarno Trulli's only F1 win was utterly convincing, as he claimed the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix from pole position. But this was an eventful few days on and off track for F1, as Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell discuss with host Glenn Freeman.As well as Trulli's heroics, we look back on Takuma Sato's engine blowing up in front of the whole field, a war of words between Fernando Alonso and Ralf Schumacher, plus the controversial collision between Michael Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya... in the tunnel... behind the safety car! Off track there were plenty of stories in the news, including rumours of Williams discussing a 2005 seat with out-of-work Jacques Villeneuve, another war of words for Ralf Schumacher - this time with Patrick Head from his own team, the latest on McLaren's much-needed B-spec to its horrible 2004 car, why Toyota offended David Coulthard, plus a huge amount of discussion about F1's future rules packages and the unpopular tweak made to the one-shot qualifying format for 2004. Plus the small matter of Jaguar supposedly losing a $300,000 diamond from one of its cars in a crash.ASK US ANYTHING: Submit your questions about anything to do with F1 from 1989-2005 for our series finale, using #BringBackV10s on Twitter, or email [email protected]

0:51.1	Schumacher was already looking unlikely to win before his race ended in bizarre circumstances,

1:03.0	Welcome to another episode of Bring Back V10s. I'm Glenn Freeman, and joining me for this trip back to 2004 are the races F1 journalist Scott Mitchell

1:19.0	Jensen Button episode in the last series that you're quite keen on 2004. So when you think back
1:24.5	to that year's Monaco Grand Prix, what's the first thing that comes to mind?
1:29.0	I have to be honest and say the frustration of watching a race in Monaco because I was watching it
1:34.7	through the very narrow lens of being a button fan at the time. So all the fun and exciting and
1:39.6	controversial stuff that many others probably very much enjoyed during this Grand Prix were just
1:44.2	a distraction for me from the fact that I wanted and expected button to win this race.
