Summary
Bring Back V10s makes a rare venture into the 2002 season to look back on that year's Malaysian Grand Prix. Glenn Freeman is joined by Matt Beer and Jon Noble to reflect on a result that proved to be a false dawn for the season ahead, plus the collision between Juan Pablo Montoya and Michael Schumacher that earned Montoya F1's first ever drive-through penalty. Also in the spotlight are Jenson Button's maiden podium near-miss, new BAR boss David Richards taking drastic action to sort the struggling team out, a look at what might be the lowest point in Jaguar's miserable F1 story, Takuma Sato's novel approach to trying to swap positions with Jordan team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella, and the latest antics from the Phoenix 'team' that was trying to get onto the F1 grid with year-old Prost cars, and even older engines. There's also a suggestion from Jacques Villeneuve that back in 2002 F1 needed to get rid of testing and expand the calendar to up to 25 races a year. Imagine that!
