Everyone remembers the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix for Jenson Button’s shock first Formula 1 race win for what was then the Honda team.

But there was so much more to this incredible weekend than that admittedly epic drive and achievement.

Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm delve into it all as our Bring Back V10s podcast takes one of its occasional dips into the V8 era.

The breakdown of what was supposed to be a fairytale partnership between Mark Webber and Williams, Jacques Villeneuve’s shock final F1 exit, tech rows, bizarre penalties for both title contenders, a rare Michael Schumacher/Ferrari strategic blunder, a huge crash for Kimi Raikkonen and perhaps the greatest laps of Fernando Alonso’s F1 career all feature.
