S6 E9: Canada 1995 - Alesi's only F1 win
About this episode
Jean Alesi claimed his first - and only - F1 win on an emotional day at the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix, driving a Ferrari with the number 27 made famous by Gilles Villeneuve, on the circuit named after the great Canadian.
Sam Smith and self-confessed Alesi fanatic Jonathan Reynolds join host Glenn Freeman to revisit that June weekend in 1995, including Alesi's ongoing spat with Martin Brundle, McLaren coming to terms with Nigel Mansell's departure and getting rid of its car's ugly mid-wing, the demise of Simtek, Jacques Villeneuve's emergence on the F1 driver market radar, a miserable weekend for Williams, clumsy incidents involving Mika Hakkinen and Gerhard Berger, Alesi finally getting some good fortune, and Jordan claiming the best result Peugeot would ever manage in F1.
