Imola 1999: An underappreciated piece of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari brilliance? Or a race cruelly robbed from McLaren?
That’s one of the topics Ben Anderson, Matt Beer and host Glenn Freeman debate as our Bring Back V10s classic Formula 1 stories podcast revisits Ferrari’s only San Marino Grand Prix victory of the 1990s.
It’s perhaps best remembered for Mika Hakkinen’s shock crash while leading early on – and our panel has plenty to say about that incident and Hakkinen’s explanation for it.
David Coulthard should have picked up the pieces for McLaren. But was his failure to do so down to underperformance, obdurate backmarkers or because this was one of Schumacher’s best drives for Ferrari?
As well as the fight for Imola victory, we also delve into all the storylines going on in the paddock at the time – from BMW’s imminent return to the Stewart team’s transformation into a frontrunner, a brief burst of good 1999 form from Damon Hill and the bewildering tale of t-minus.
