  • Bring Back V10s: Monza 2003 and the Michelin tyre controversy
    Jul 4 2025

    Bring Back V10s - the podcast the celebrates the golden era of F1 from 1989 to 2005 - is back with Season 12! We're kicking off the new season with one of our most requested topics: the 2003 Michelin tyre controversy that erupted ahead of that year's Italian Grand Prix.


    Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw, and returning special guest Ted Kravitz dive into the tyre story in great detail, exploring how Ferrari and Bridgestone brought it to the FIA's attention, how the Michelin teams reacted, and how the fallout from the rule tweak spilled over into a spicy weekend in the Monza paddock.


    We'll also explain how Ross Brawn nearly got himself into legal trouble with Michelin, and Ted reveals who Brawn took aim at in a memorable press conference exchange where he told a member of the media to stop laughing.


    Other topics covered include Jacques Villeneuve's shaky future at BAR, teams raising concerns about F1's team orders ban, plus Marc Gene's last-minute stand-in heroics for Williams - and how his presence briefly confused the ITV F1 commentators AND the Ferrari pitwall during a crucial pitstop phase of the race.

    Jun 19 2025

    On the latest episode of The Race F1 Tech Show, Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson discuss what losing '20 points of downforce' really means, after Lewis Hamilton suffered that fate in Canada, when his Ferrari collided with an unfortunate marmot.
