The rivalry between Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill defined the 1995 F1 season, and at Spa that year they had one of their most famous battles - a rare one that didn't end in a collision.
Matt Beer and Ben Anderson join host Glenn Freeman to look back on how Schumacher recovered from 16th on the grid to win comfortably on a day where he outfoxed and outmuscled his title rival.
We also scrutinise if the reaction to Schumacher's robust driving was fair at the time, and consider how his aggression would be viewed in the present day.
There's also a look at how the F1 driver market was taking shape in the wake of Schumacher signing for Ferrari for 1996, with Jean Alesi swapping seats with him to lead Benetton, Williams upsetting Adrian Newey by signing Jacques Villeneuve, plus Alain Prost and McLaren causing confusion over who Mika Hakkinen's team-mate would be.
And we dig into why there might have been some substance behind rumours that Ross Brawn could be on his way to Ligier from Benetton.
