Alonso v Schumacher and much more: F1's epic 2005 San Marino GP | Bring Back V10s Podcast

The 2005 San Marino Grand Prix will always be remembered for Michael Schumacher’s thrilling pursuit of Fernando Alonso in the closing stages of the race.
In a special upload featuring our Bring Back V10s classic F1 podcast, current Sky F1 pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz joins Glenn Freeman and Mark Hughes to look back on a memorable weekend that also featured BAR’s exclusion and a ban for cheating, McLaren unlocking the pace of what would become 2005’s fastest car, tension between Jacques Villeneuve and Sauber, and Red Bull’s early moves off track to establish itself as a credible contender in F1.
With Ted's help, and insight from Mark who was in the commentary box that weekend, we also get to the bottom of ITV’s controversial late-race ad break that caused so much uproar with UK viewers.
