S10 E2: Nurburgring '05 - Kimi's tyre nightmare

Kimi Raikkonen's suspension failure on the final lap of the 2005 European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring is one of the iconic images of that season. On this episode of Bring Back V10s, Glenn Freeman is joined by Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson to look back at how close Raikkonen and McLaren came to hanging on in front of Fernando Alonso, and all the factors that led to Kimi nursing a badly flat-spotted tyre almost all the way to the finish.

They also take a closer look at Ferrari's struggles that year, including a surprising admission from Michael Schumacher, plus the spat he was having with team-mate Rubens Barrichello coming out of the previous race in Monaco. There was tension elsewhere in the paddock as well, with Jacques Villeneuve in trouble with his boss Peter Sauber, and BMW denying rumours it was about to buy Sauber as its strained relationship with Williams was coming to an end.

On track, BMW and Williams enjoyed a rare high spot with Nick Heidfeld claiming his only F1 pole and converting that into a podium, there was another tweak to the one-shot qualifying format, and BAR cheekily tried to replace its engines early on returning from a two-race ban.

Plus - how David Coulthard threw away a potential first F1 podium for Red Bull, and Jarno Trulli's bizarre claim that he could have won this race!
