S7 E9: Imola 1997 - Frentzen's only Williams win

Heinz-Harald Frentzen was signed to be Williams's next superstar, but after being brought in to replace world champion Damon Hill, he only took one victory and was firmly put in the shade by team-mate Jacques Villeneuve. Edd Straw and Matt Beer join host Glenn Freeman to revisit that single win, which came at the 1997 San Marino Grand Prix. As well as discussing Frentzen's failure at Williams at great length, we also dig into the other big stories in F1 at the time, including Villeneuve's outburst over the new rules being planned for 1998, Adrian Newey's switch from Williams to McLaren being finalised just before it went to court, British American Tobacco turning down the idea of pairing up with Benetton to come into F1, Jordan fighting to keep Peugeot engines, and a "cheesed off" Damon Hill wiping out Shinji Nakano at the back of the field as his tough start to life with Arrows got the better of him.
