S13 E2: Jaguar's nightmare debut season

About this episode

This episode discusses Jaguar's challenging debut season in Formula 1 during 2000, featuring insights from key figures involved.

Jaguar's terrible first F1 season in 2000 is the subject of episode two of season 13 of Bring Back V10s. Glenn Freeman is joined by two people who worked in the Jaguar F1 system that year: technical director Gary Anderson, and The Race's Andrew van de Burgt, who ran the Jaguar Racing website in 2000! We look back over the whole year in detail, from the rebrand of Stewart Grand Prix, to high pre-season expectations, problems in testing, and a season that was largely a nightmare on track while Ford created plenty of high-level disruption off-track. Gary explains what he saw going on behind the scenes and tells the story of how he knew his time was up at the end of the season, plus he gives technical insight on the problems both Jaguar and Cosworth were having for much of the year.
