Welcome to the 10th and final episode of "My Favourite F1 Season", the series where Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with broadcasters and journalists look back over their favourite F1 seasons, and the impact it had on them. In this final episodes, Kevin is joined again by Autosport's Sportscar correspondent Gary Watkins and F1 writer Stuart Codling to go over the seasons that didn't quite make the cut. There's mentions of modern classics like 2021 (Despite it's controversial ending), all the way back to 1958 and the World Championship that got away for the late Sir Stirling Moss against Mike Hawthorn. How about 1979 and the battle between Jody Scheckter and Gilles Villeneuve? Kevin also asks, what makes a great F1 season to them, and even wonders if Gary and Stuart would change their pic from their original selections...

It's a meeting of the Editors for Episode 9 of our "Favourite F1 Season" series, as Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with journalists and broadcasters to review their favourite Formula 1 season and what it meant to them as we celebrate our 75th Anniversary. In this week's episode, Kevin sits down with former Editor-In-Chief and freelance Motorsport writer Damien Smith to discuss his favourite season - 1986. 1986 was a season most remembered for an epic three-way title fight between Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell as Williams' teammates, and eventual Champion Alain Prost in his McLaren. Together, Kevin and Damien discuss that incredible battle, including that overtake from Nelson in Hungary, the internal politics, the rise of a young Ayrton Senna, and the tragic passing of Elio de Angelis. There's also a comparison between the Autosport and Autocourse Top 10 rankings of the time.

Welcome back to Episode 8 of "My Favourite F1 Season" on Autosport Retro, the series where Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with journalists and broadcasters from around the sport to talk about their favourite F1 season, and what it meant to them. This week, Kevin is joined by Autosport.com Editor Haydn Cobb to discuss his favourite F1 Season - 2012. 2012 has been generally regarded as one of the greatest of the modern-day F1 seasons, with six out of the sport's twelve teams winning at least one race, of which, seven different drivers claimed victory. It was a season that featured a dramatic title fight between Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, with both men attempting to win their third World Championship, with Vettel taking the title by just three points. Haydn and Kevin talk about that battle, McLaren's role was the unreliable antagonist, the Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes switch being confirmed, and compare Autosport's own end-of season Top 10 driver rankings.

Welcome to Episode 5 of our Autosport Retro series: "My Favourite F1 Season", as Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with his fellow broadcasters and journalists to sit down and review what they thought was their favourite Formula 1 campaign. In this week's episode, Kevin sits down with former GP Racing Magazine Editor and F1 writer, Stuart Codling to review his favourite F1 season - 1976. Arguably one of the most famous F1 years of all and later adapted into Hollywood movie "Rush", 1976 featured the legendary title fight between Niki Lauda and James Hunt, and the horrific accident at the Nurburgring Nordschleife that nearly claimed the Austrian's life. All the elements of their fight are described in detail, as well as the Autosport and Auto Course Top 10 rankings and other stories like Ronnie Peterson's win at Monza and Jody Scheckter's campaign.

In the second episode of our new series, Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with BTCC correspondent and Deputy Editor Marcus Simmons to discuss his favourite Formula One season - 1977. Marcus goes in-depth on how his childhood was shaped by the sport itself and how 1977 stuck in his mind as well as the quality of Niki Lauda as he went on to win the World Championship. Also mentioned is the tragic passings of Tom Pryce and Carlos Pace over the season, the impressive raw speed of James Hunt despite his unsuccessful title defence, and Renault's debut of the device that would change the future of the sport - the Turbocharger.
