Bring Back V10s is revisiting the story of Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Jordan nearly pulling off one of F1's greatest championship upsets, but this time we're doing it in much more depth and with the man himself to help us tell the tale!

We covered the end of the 1999 season from Jordan's perspective back in season one, and now we are looking back over the whole year with Frentzen joining Glenn Freeman and Edd Straw to give us the inside story.

We look back on his tense start to life at Jordan, what it was like teaming up with Damon Hill after Frentzen so famously replaced him at Williams, plus all the highs and lows of a memorable year for the team in yellow.

Sadly, that means discussing the late-season heartbreak at the Nurburgring too, where we find out if it still hurts Frentzen all these years later that a potentially pivotal victory slipped through his fingers on home soil.
