Summary

Bring Back V10s has gone hybrid! 10 years on from the introduction of the modern-day F1 engines that don't make enough noise and are missing four cylinders, Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw and Ben Anderson revisit the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix - a race famous for Daniel Ricciardo taking his maiden F1 win for Red Bull, and Mercedes suffering its first hybrid-era defeat. We look back at the early shots in the Lewis Hamilton/Nico Rosberg war, Ferrari's nightmare start to the era, how the tension between Red Bull and Renault almost forced Adrian Newey out the door, Haas delaying its entry into F1, Jenson Button fighting for his future at McLaren, and Bernie Ecclestone's stance against social media.

0:00.0	The Athletic
0:02.0	Whoever thought we'd see the day.
0:13.0	Bring Back V10s has sold its soul, presumably under pressure from the manufacturers, and we've gone hybrid.
0:20.0	But we've picked a modern classic for our first
0:22.5	somewhat dangerous foray into the world of MGUKs and MGUHs, the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix, where
0:30.2	Daniel Ricardo famously took his maiden win and inflicted Mercedes first defeat of the hybrid
0:36.3	era in crazy circumstances.
0:39.4	We'll look back over everything that happened that afternoon in Montreal, including the simultaneous
0:44.6	failures that ruined Mercedes perfect record, and the scary crash between Felipe Massa and
0:49.8	Sergio Perez on the last lap. Two gentlemen who we should say thought they could win this race.
0:55.5	Off track, there was all sorts going on in F1 that summer.
0:58.5	We had the beginnings of the Lewis Hamilton-Niko Rosberg feud,
1:02.7	Haast announcing details of its plans to come into F1,
1:05.8	and perhaps most importantly for everything that's followed, really,
1:10.2	Adrian Newey signed a new contract with
1:12.8	Red Bull after rejecting advances from Mercedes and Ferrari. So to revisit all that and much more
1:20.3	with me, Glenn Freeman, we have two people who were there that weekend covering events on the
1:24.9	ground, our very own Ed Straw and Ben Anderson. Ben, you can go
1:29.7	first for the opening question. 2014 was your first season covering F1 full time. So when you
1:35.9	cast your mind back to Canada that year, what's the first thing that comes to mind?
1:40.2	Well, first year covering F1 was an unusual experience across the board because watching the race in the media center, you're devoid of commentary.
1:50.2	You don't get circuit commentary.
