The 1996 Portuguese Grand Prix is famous for one thing: Jacques Villeneuve's thrilling around-the-outside pass on Michael Schumacher's Ferrari at the fearsome final corner, which set him up for a charge to victory that kept that year's title battle alive all the way to the final race in Japan. Matt Beer and Ben Anderson join a giddy Glenn Freeman to revisit one of Villeneuve's greatest days in F1, also looking at how Schumacher really reacted to the move in private. We also discuss Damon Hill somewhat limping to the title after starting the year so well, plus how Stewart and Jordan did battle for his signature for 1997 before he chose Arrows. There's also talk of Ralf Schumacher rejecting McLaren to sign for Jordan, Sauber landing its Ferrari engine deal, Eddie Irvine benefitting from some rare Ferrari testing, and what happened after McLaren team-mates David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen collided during the race.

Bring Back V10s has gone hybrid! 10 years on from the introduction of the modern-day F1 engines that don't make enough noise and are missing four cylinders, Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw and Ben Anderson revisit the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix - a race famous for Daniel Ricciardo taking his maiden F1 win for Red Bull, and Mercedes suffering its first hybrid-era defeat. We look back at the early shots in the Lewis Hamilton/Nico Rosberg war, Ferrari's nightmare start to the era, how the tension between Red Bull and Renault almost forced Adrian Newey out the door, Haas delaying its entry into F1, Jenson Button fighting for his future at McLaren, and Bernie Ecclestone's stance against social media.

Ferrari produced one of its worst F1 cars in 1992, and predictably endured a miserable season as a result. David Tremayne joins Glenn Freeman and Andrew van de Burgt to look back at the attractive Ferrari F92A, famed for its radical 'twin floor', to explore why the year went so badly for the Prancing Horse. We also look at the upheaval that was going on behind the scenes at Ferrari, including the returns of Luca di Montezemolo, Niki Lauda and John Barnard, and pinpoint how this dreadful season at least laid some of the foundations for the brilliant Michael Schumacher-Jean Todt era that was to follow. Plus we spare a thought for poor Ivan Capelli, whose dream move to Ferrari turned so sour he didn't even get to complete the season before being sacked in brutal fashion.

The Schumacher brothers were at the top of the F1 mountain in the summer of 2001, and they arrived on home soil at the Nurburgring with Michael comfortably leading the championship, and Ralf having just taken the second win of his career and signing a big new contract with Williams. The scene was set for another Schumacher vs Schumacher contest when they shared the front row at the Nurburgring, but Ralf's day unravelled - first with a typical startline 'chop' from his brother, and then when Ralf became the first high-profile offender to cross the pit exit white line, earning him a drive-through penalty that led to him storming out of the track on Sunday night. Glenn Freeman is joined by Matt Beer and Edd Straw to revisit a memorable weekend for the Schumachers plus everything else that was going on in F1 at the time, including Jenson Button's Benetton struggles, Mika Hakkinen's lack of interest in helping David Coulthard, a bizarre CART vs F1 row, early tests of the HANS device, and two drivers signing contracts for 2002 that would not be honoured.

The 1994 Belgian Grand Prix will forever be remembered as the race where Michael Schumacher was excluded for the plank under his Benetton being too worn down. But it was also the weekend when Rubens Barrichello claimed a shock first pole for Jordan, and the iconic Eau Rouge sequence was sanitised by the addition of a slow-speed chicane. Gary Anderson - the main responsible for Barrichello's slick-tyre gamble in qualifying - and Sam Smith join Glenn Freeman to revisit a time in F1 when Renault signed up with Benetton for 1995, Nigel Mansell was still in the mix for a full-time Williams seat, McLaren was trying to get Jordan to take its Peugeot engines, Mercedes was running out of patience with Sauber, Forti was getting ready to come into F1, and Damon Hill challenged David Coulthard to a fight!

Alex Zanardi returned to F1 in 1999 with Williams as red-hot property after a sensational stint racing in America, but things went badly wrong, leading the team to cut ties with him after just one dismal season. Ex-Williams insider Jim Wright joins Glenn Freeman and self-confessed Zanardi superfan Matt Beer to look back on what went wrong that season, and assess if there was anything Williams or Zanardi could have done differently to enjoy more success together.

Juan Pablo Montoya ended a 20-year wait for Williams to win another Monaco Grand Prix in 2003, clinging on with an ailing BMW engine to fend off Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher. Ben Anderson and Karun Chandhok join Glenn Freeman to look back at a busy F1 weekend in the principality, where F1's manufacturers did battle with the FIA, Ferrari got caught out by F1's new qualifying rules, hype was building around McLaren's radical MP4-18, Jaguar had grand plans for the years to come, Cristiano da Matta received a swipe from his own boss at Toyota, and Jenson Button had to miss the race after suffering a huge accident exiting the tunnel during practice.

Bring Back V10s is back for a new series! Longtime F1 journalist and radio commentator Maurice Hamilton joins Glenn Freeman and Edd Straw to revisit the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix, a much-requested race where Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna had the first of their infamous collisions. And as we discover, what went on in the weeks following the race was even more ludicrous than the sight of the two McLarens stranded at the chicane after F1's highest-profile slow-speed accident.

For the final episode of series eight we're debating the top 10 title-deciding races of the V10 era. The format is simple: we've taken every race from 1989-2005 where the title was sealed, regardless of if it was a true final-round decider, and then Glenn Freeman, Matt Beer, Edd Straw and Ben Anderson have each come up with a top 10 ranking. Those individual top 10s have then been combined to create an overall result. So listen in to see what we came up with!

It's time for our regular 'Ask us anything' episode in series 8, with Edd Straw, Gary Anderson and Andrew van de Burgt joining Glenn Freeman to tackle a range of questions from the Bring Back V10s audience! Get ready to hear their thoughts a huge range of topics, including the idea of the Schumacher brothers as team-mates, how a Ford-powered McLaren could have done in 1994, manufacturers we'd have liked to see join during the V10 era, plenty of backmarker questions for Edd and a debate about the worst liveries that appeared on the grid.

ITV F1's pit lane reporter Louise Goodman joins Glenn Freeman and Ben Anderson to discuss one of the most chaotic races in the V10 era: The 1998 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. From the monstrous first lap pile-up and subsequent re-start to Michael Schumacher's infamous clash with David Coulthard and Jordan's first ever victory with Damon Hill, this was a race that had it all!

Nigel Mansell pulled off something that will surely never be seen again when he went to IndyCar as the reigning F1 world champion in 1993, and won the American series' title at the first attempt. Edd Straw and Karun Chandhok join Glenn Freeman to revisit Mansell's incredible first season in CART in great detail, all the way from his stunning debut victory in Australia, to coming back from a horrific crash at Phoenix and nearly winning the Indy 500 on his first oval start. With additional insight from veteran IndyCar reporter Curt Cavin, we explore how Mansell became the dominant force on ovals, rather than the road courses where the ex-F1 star was expected to dominate.

Nigel Mansell took a stunning victory from 12th on the grid at the Hungaroring of all places, where overtaking was thought to be almost impossible. And he capped it off with one of F1's all-time great passes, ambusing Ayrton Senna as the McLaren was baulked behind the ailing Onyx of Stefan Johansson. Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt join Glenn Freeman to revisit Mansell's brilliant drive, the rumours that Alain Prost was going to be signed as his team-mate (and how Nigel felt about that), plus we have a Tyrrell insider's recollection of a spat between Mansell and F1 newcomer Jean Alesi. There's also talk of Ford putting pressure on Benetton, Porsche considering an F1 comeback, Yamaha's disastrous year with Zakspeed, and Bernie Ecclestone bizarrely firing shots across the Atlantic at the CART series.

The 1995 Australian GP was a chaotic race that brought the curtain down on the first part of the Bring Back V10s era in many ways. It was F1's final visit to Adelaide, the last time we saw a V12 Ferrari, the final race before the distinctive high cockpit sides were introduced, and the last race that was started with green lights! Ben Anderson and Matt Beer join Glenn Freeman to discuss how Damon Hill came through a crazy, attritional race to win by two laps from a smoking Olivier Panis, while the second Williams of David Coulthard famously smashed into the wall at the pit entry while leading. And earlier in the weekend, F1 narrowly avoided tragedy when Mika Hakkinen suffered a horrible accident at the fastest corner of the circuit - and it wasn't long before rumours emerged that Alain Prost could stand in for him in early 1996 if required.

Bring Back V10s makes its regular detour into the V8 era to revisit the 2010 Korean Grand Prix - a day when Red Bull's title hopes with both Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel seemed to disappear. Edd Straw and Karun Chandhok join Glenn Freeman to look back on a race where Webber crashed out and Vettel's engine blew, allowing Fernando Alonso to claim victory and the championship lead. Karun also recalls becoming the first driver to take an F1 car out onto the circuit - while it was still being built!

The 2000 Australian Grand Prix marked the start of Ferrari's dominance of the early years of the 21st century, although it took an assist from an unreliable McLaren team for Michael Schumacher to score his first win in an F1 season-opener since 1995. Matt Beer and Mark Hughes join Glenn Freeman to revisit how Schumacher got off to the perfect start, Jenson Button's rollercoaster F1 debut after much debate before the season, a bizarre spat between Eddie Irvine and McLaren, and the beginning of F1's 2000s manufacturer boom, with Honda and BMW back on the grid, Toyota waiting in the wings and Renault buying Benetton.

We're taking a trip back to the streets of Phoenix for the 1991 US GP, the last race that would be held in the States until 2000. Sam Smith and Gary Anderson join Glenn Freeman to reflect on a comfortable start to Ayrton Senna's final championship-winning year, and Gary shares plenty of stories about the build up to Jordan's first F1 race weekend with the stunning 191...

For episode one of series eight, Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw and Ben Anderson revisit Red Bull Racing's first season in F1, all the way from taking over Jaguar with a 31-year-old Christian Horner as team boss, to getting both cars in the points on debut, Red Bull buying Minardi later in the year, and the most important moment in Red Bull's F1 history: how it pulled off the signing of Adrian Newey at the end of the season.
