Williams was a major player in the 1980s and 1990s but it somehow went two decades between Monaco GP wins. The latest episode of our Bring Back V10s classic F1 stories podcast looks at the end of that unwanted run and how victory nearly got away
Juan Pablo Montoya ended Williams’s two-decade-long drought at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2003, despite facing challenges with his BMW engine and uncertainty surrounding the Williams-BMW agreement. This triumph is discussed in our Bring Back V10s classic F1 stories podcast, which also delves into Renault’s decision to abandon their radical engine design and McLaren’s unreleased MP4-18. Karun Chandhok and Ben Anderson join Glenn Freeman to analyze the first Monaco GP with a reprofiled final sector, Jenson Button’s missed race due to a massive tunnel exit crash, and an unusual mistake from Ferrari.
