⭐️ BBV10s 1997 Revisited: British GP
Added 2024-06-20 10:01:50 +0000 UTCAttention BBV10s fans: We've got one more 1997 Revisited episode for you before this series takes a break for the small matter of series 10 of Bring Back V10s!
To sign off on the first half of the season, we head back to Silverstone, where Jacques Villeneuve got his campaign back on track with victory, despite suffering a problem in the pits that left him stationary for over half a minute.
Villeneuve's recovery was aided by title rival Michael Schumacher retiring, and a late engine failure for Mika Hakkinen, who looked on course to take his first F1 win, despite McLaren taking a puzzling approach to the first half of the race when Hakkinen was stuck behind his struggling team-mate David Coulthard.
And at last there is something to celebrate for the Damon Hill fans, as the reigning world champion picked up his first point of the year with Arrows.
1997 Revisited will resume in September with our look back at the German Grand Prix.
