    S13 E2: Jaguar's nightmare debut season
    Apr 1 2026

    Jaguar's terrible first F1 season in 2000 is the subject of episode two of season 13 of Bring Back V10s. Glenn Freeman is joined by two people who worked in the Jaguar F1 system that year: technical director Gary Anderson, and The Race's Andrew van de Burgt, who ran the Jaguar Racing website in 2000!


    We look back over the whole year in detail, from the rebrand of Stewart Grand Prix, to high pre-season expectations, problems in testing, and a season that was largely a nightmare on track while Ford created plenty of high-level disruption off-track.


    Gary explains what he saw going on behind the scenes and tells the story of how he knew his time was up at the end of the season, plus he gives technical insight on the problems both Jaguar and Cosworth were having for much of the year.

  • Senna vs Schumacher: The flashpoints

    Senna vs Schumacher: The flashpoints
    Mar 19 2026

    Bring Back V10s returns! And we're kicking off Season 13 with something a bit different, as we revisit the major flashpoints in the short-lived Ayrton Senna/Michael Schumacher F1 rivalry.


    Glenn Freeman, Ben Anderson and Edd Straw dig into the times Senna and Schumacher fell out during their brief spell together on the F1 grid - and yes, that includes Senna's iconic public telling off that he gave Schumacher at the 1992 French Grand Prix while wearing a pastel jumper!


    We also explore how their relationship and rivalry appeared to be evolving heading into 1994, and how Schumacher handled the loss of Senna that year, both publicly and in private.

  • BONUS: Bring Back V10s Debrief about... Bring Back V10s!

    BONUS: Bring Back V10s Debrief about... Bring Back V10s!
    Mar 5 2026

    As preparation for Season 13 of Bring Back V10s accelerates, we thought we'd share a sample of a bit of bonus content we made for The Race Members' Club. After each episode of the regular series, host Glenn Freeman produces a Debrief for The Race Members' Club, where he answers questions relating to the episode. On this occasion, we asked the members for questions about Bring Back V10s itself, and Glenn sat down for over an hour to go through as many questions about the show as he could.

Love it. Massive F1 fan since the late 80s, so to be expected. However have even none F1 friends and family have taken an interest purely for the history and factual storytelling. Keep it up guys, fantastic.

Fantastic F1 fan or not.

Hi guys, loving the podcast so far after a week long binge. My question for the next season finale is when did psychology and mental health become a key part of F1 since it seemed to pop up in the later v10 era, I first noticed it in HHFs struggles at a high pressure environment and his openness about stress which impacted his driving but it seemed almost taboo in the super macho era of the 80s. Even Patrese seemed to just have an "it is what it is" attitude after hunt and Lauda came together to (wrongly) say he killed Ronnie Petersen. I hope you guys know what I'm rambling about and can find something good to discuss in this word spaghetti.

5 stars, right up my alley
