S6 E8: San Marino GP 1999 - Hakkinen's Imola blunder

Mika Hakkinen made the first of two high-profile errors in Italy in 1999 at that year's San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, when he crashed out of a comfortable lead exiting the final corner early in the race. To make matters worse for McLaren, Michael Schumacher then went on to defeat the second McLaren of David Coulthard, who fumed about his treatment by backmarkers.

Matt Beer and Ben Anderson join host Glenn Freeman to revisit everything that was going on in F1 in early 1999, including Honda's U-turn on its planned team for 2000, BMW hitting the track ahead of its comeback, Ford bringing an end to three decades of customer engine supply, Benetton trying to grab Charlie Whiting from the FIA, rumours of Ferrari showing interest in Jarno Trulli, Prost and Peugeot having another public falling out, Alex Zanardi's miserable F1 comeback, Jacques Villeneuve's incredible fifth on the grid for BAR, and how Schumacher and Ferrari got the better of McLaren to the delight of the tifosi.
