Join us for an in-depth look at one of the most famous heartbreak stories from F1 in the 1990s: The 1997 Hungarian Grand Prix. Glenn Freeman, Matt Beer and Edd Straw revisit all the key talking points in F1 from before, during and after the weekend, as well as trying to work out how Arrows managed to have its day in the sun with a car that was hopeless earlier in the season. They also look at how the Ferrari v Williams battle was shaping up in the summer of '97, if this was another race McLaren threw away with its poor reliability, how Benetton went from winning the previous race to having one of its cars finish behind a Minardi, how Jordan had the right strategy but was out of the hunt before race day, what on earth happened to the usual lead Bridgestone runner Prost GP, why Michael Schumacher tested a Sauber not long after this race, Jan Magnussen's shot in F1 with Stewart and why it didn't work out, and how F1 races with extreme tyre wear are interpreted differently today. Plus they uncover which driver really should have won this race - and it wasn't Jacques Villeneuve. We also look at the big storyline off-track after Hill's heroics, as he entered into contract talks for 1998 with FIVE teams, receiving a variety of offers that were lucrative, offensive, and in one case even upset Alain Prost.
