Season 10 of Bring Back V10s is here! Karun Chandhok and Edd Straw join Glenn Freeman to look back on a memorable weekend at Silverstone, where Damon Hill came agonisingly close to claiming his first F1 victory in front of his home crowd.

But a rare Renault engine failure for Hill allowed his Williams team-mate Alain Prost to claim a then-record 50th win, while Prost's bitter rival Ayrton Senna stopped on the final lap of the race for the third year running.

The weekend played out with tension brewing between the FIA and teams over the legality of driver aids, and Bernie Ecclestone taking shots at Indycar racing where reigning F1 champion Nigel Mansell was making international headlines.

We also get the inside story of how Williams upset one of its sponsors so badly that they decided to quit F1 at the end of that season.
