Bring Back V10s: Schumacher’s bizarre win in the pitlane
The manner of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari’s 1998 British Grand Prix win was simultaneously bizarre, brilliant and hugely controversial.
Season five of our Bring Back V10s classic Formula 1 stories podcast begins at Silverstone on that wet summer Sunday, with Gary Anderson and Edd Straw joining host Glenn Freeman to delve into how Schumacher won that race while taking a penalty in the pitlane (which he technically served after the finish line) and all the fallout from it.
They also discuss the tension behind the scenes at a McLaren team that should’ve been running away with the season, Williams’ struggle in its first year without works Renault engines or an Adrian Newey-designed car, a team orders row at Sauber, and how Jordan kickstarted its season with Ralf Schumacher scoring its first point of the year from the back of the grid.
