Bring Back V10s finally heads back to Suzuka for the second explosive instalment in 1989-1990 saga between F1 enemies Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.

Glenn Freeman, Edd Straw, and Andrew van de Burgt revisit the infamous 1990 Japanese Grand Prix to discuss one of F1's most shocking collisions.

We delve into Senna's controversial justification for taking Prost out to win that year's title – from the location of the pole position grid slot to his "if you no longer go for a gap" philosophy – and Prost's furious reaction, including his threat to quit F1.

Beyond the title-deciding crash, we look back on the helicopter accident that prematurely ended Alessandro Nannini’s F1 career, and how Roberto Moreno won the scramble for his Benetton seat.

We also cover Johnny Herbert's F1 comeback with Lotus, the end of the road for hopeless backmarkers EuroBrun and Life, and the ambitious unveiling of the Brabham-Yamaha partnership.

In the race itself, we explain how Benetton claimed a surprising one-two with Nelson Piquet and an exhausted and emotional Moreno as the other big hitters fell out of contention, and Edd gets to celebrate a historic podium for home hero Aguri Suzuki. And we look into how Williams ended up fourth and fifth on a day when no McLarens or Ferraris finished.

Bring Back V10s Season 12 is here! 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.
