The manner of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari’s 1998 British Grand Prix win was simultaneously bizarre, brilliant and hugely controversial.

Season five of our Bring Back V10s classic Formula 1 stories podcast begins at Silverstone on that wet summer Sunday, with Gary Anderson and Edd Straw joining host Glenn Freeman to delve into how Schumacher won that race while taking a penalty in the pitlane (which he technically served after the finish line) and all the fallout from it.

They also discuss the tension behind the scenes at a McLaren team that should’ve been running away with the season, Williams’ struggle in its first year without works Renault engines or an Adrian Newey-designed car, a team orders row at Sauber, and how Jordan kickstarted its season with Ralf Schumacher scoring its first point of the year from the back of the grid.
