Just when McLaren looked like it was going to absolutely run away with the 1998 Formula 1 season, Michael Schumacher and Ferrari barged to victory in the Argentinian Grand Prix.

The clash pivotal to the outcome of that race started a late 1990s/early 2000s subplot of Schumacher/David Coulthard flashpoints, but how was it even possible for Schumacher to get close enough to collide with and then beat a McLaren given how dominant the silver cars had been in the first two rounds?

That's one of many topics Glenn Freeman gets Ben Anderson and Matt Beer to debate as Bring Back V10s tackles Argentina 1998.

And the major 1998 rule changes and their impact on F1 spark one of the most vociferous rants in Bring Back V10s' history so far, with tyre wars, Jordan and Stewart's woes, and an early appearance on the F1 radar for Lewis Hamilton also featuring.
