Our classic Formula 1 stories podcast Bring Back V10s always features plenty of passionate debate, and the series six finale is one big one.
Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw, Ben Anderson and Matt Beer attempt to rank the 10 greatest cars of F1’s V10 era, which ran from 1989 to 2005.
It’s an era that began with carry-over McLaren domination from the turbo years, before Williams set a new technological bar only for most of its genius to be banned.
That set up the brief Benetton vs Williams period, before the rise of the McLaren vs Ferrari rivalry that ended with a crushing run of Michael Schumacher/Ferrari titles finally halted in the last V10 season by the Renault team that Benetton had become.
But which of the 17 V10 season title-winning cars was actually the best, and which owed more to the skill of their drivers and nous of their team? Listen below to get our panel’s take.
Bring Back V10s is available through all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
