Glenn Freeman is joined by Jon Noble and Ben Anderson to look back on a weekend where dominant 2004 champion Michael Schumacher was a surprising non-factor, and Montoya was able to salvage something from a tough season for Williams. Off-track, we look at David Coulthard's bid to get a drive with Williams, and why the team was also looking at bringing his old McLaren team-mate Mika Hakkinen out of retirement. Plus we revisit how Eddie Jordan realised he was reaching the end of the road in F1 as a team owner. There's plenty of F1 politics, with new rules announced for 2005 and 2006 (including the banning of V10s!), and another dispute where the entire grid seemed to be united against Ferrari. And we couldn't possibly talk about the end of 2004 without paying homage to 'Donkey Does F1', looking at how an inflatable donkey probably became F1's first viral character!
