BBV10s S7 E1: Hill dropped by Williams
Added 2024-06-05 00:49:29 +0000 UTCWelcome to early access to the new series of Bring Back V10s! Ahead of episode one being released on January 5, The Race Members' Club can listen to it more than two weeks in advance.
Karun Chandhok and Edd Straw join Glenn Freeman to revisit the summer of 1996, when Williams decided to drop championship leader Damon Hill for 1997 in favour of Heinz-Harald Frentzen. We look at what was going on behind the scenes at Williams, and put to the test some of the theories Hill has expressed over the years for why the team that gave him his big break in F1 decided it didn't want to carry on with him any longer.
