This is an important announcement about Bring Back V10s.

Your favourite classic F1 podcast is back for a second series with episode one launching on Thursday, August the 13th.

Stand by for a random conversation about McLaren team orders in the 1990s to get you into the groove. The countdown is on to series 2 of Bring Back V10s.

We'll have another 11 episodes for you, where we look back in great depth for classic

or forgotten F1 stories,

and as we did in our first series, in our final episode,

we'll take your questions on any topic from 1989 to 2005,

the V10 era of F1.

This mini episode is just to let you know series two is coming very soon,

and also to thank you for all the great feedback we received when the podcast launched

earlier this year. Keep your comments and questions coming in using the hashtag Bring Back V10s

on Twitter and if you'd like to show your support, why not leave us a five-star review on your

podcast platform of choice? To show our gratitude, we've dug out a question, someone asked, in one

Mika Hakenham through in the final race of 1997 and the first race of 1998 affected Coulthard's

career. To help me, Glenn Freeman, answer that. I'm joined by the man. We can't shake off at Bring Back V10s, Ed Strawer. Ed, welcome back. Anyone who listened to Series 1 will realise how much enthusiasm you have for this era of F1. Are you all revved up and ready to go again? Massively so. These are always great fun to do, really interesting. I actually prefer the episodes I'm not on because I can listen to them

as a complete outsider. So actually in that regard, to be fair, it's probably much the same experience for the listeners as they prefer the ones I'm not on. But anyway, we've got that much in common. But yeah, raring to go. Yeah, I certainly prefer the ones you're not on as well, but we're stuck with each other. Let's look at Jamie's question then about Calford. For context, in the 1997 European Grand Prix at Horeth, D.C. was asked to move aside to let Hakenham through, and they both then went on to pass the limping Williams of Jacques Vilnerve before the finish.

It gave Hacken his first win, something he'd missed out on occasions during the year, mainly due to Mercedes engines blowing up, if we're

honest. Former McLaren team manager Dave Ryan says he was told in no uncertain terms to give

Calfard the order to move over, and it was a chance for Ron Dennis to give Micker a win, but at

David's cost. Coulthard said in a BBC segment on team orders in 2010 that the thing that really annoyed

him about this incident was there was no mention of it before the race, so he spent a long
