S5 E5: 1992 Belgian GP - Schumacher's first win + driver market chaos

One year on from his memorable debut for Jordan, Michael Schumacher returned to Spa to claim the first of his 91 F1 victories with Benetton. F1 journalist and author David Tremayne joins Glenn Freeman and Edd Straw to share his stories and recollections from being at Spa that weekend, witnessing Schumacher’s breakout win and why it felt special at the time. We also revisit the chaos that had broken out in the driver market over that summer, as Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost were at the centre of a brewing controversy over Williams’s driver line-up for 1993.

We also look back at Sauber's preparations to join the grid in 1993 with help from Mercedes, why Toyota backed out of a possible 1990s F1 entry, Senna's famous rescue of Erik Comas during practice, and if this was a race win that got away for Martin Brundle.
