Ex-Jordan Formula 1 technical director Mike Gascoyne joins the latest episode of our Bring Back V10s podcast to look back at the 1999 French Grand Prix.
Gascoyne was in the thick of the action at Magny-Cours that year, from the calls being made on the Jordan pitwall that helped Frentzen take the team’s second victory, to what was going on behind the scenes following Damon Hill’s decision to announce his retirement from F1 – and how the 1996 world champion almost walked away after the race in France.
As always we look back at the other major storylines in F1 from around the race, ranging from Eddie Irvine coming clean about the terms of his Ferrari contract, to Alain Prost’s latest falling out with Peugeot, BAR’s disastrous start to life as an F1 team, what could have been for McLaren at this race, and why Ralf Schumacher believes this was his best drive in F1.
