Listen "My Favourite F1 Season - Karun Chandhok's 1997"
Episode Synopsis
In the first of a brand new series on the Autosport Retro Podcast channel, Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with journalists, broadcasters and friends of the show to discuss what they think is their favourite F1 season of all-time. On Episode 1, we have former F1 driver, turned historic racer and broadcaster, Karun Chandhok and his favourite season - 1997.
It was a season likely to be most remembered with one of F1's most intense rivalries as Ferrari's Michael Schumacher went head to head with Williams' Jacques Villeneuve. The season-defining crash at Jerez and the incredible triple tie in qualifying is mentioned, as well as some of the under-appreciated stories of the season, such as a preview to Mika Hakkinen's future success, and Heinz-Harald Frentzen replacing Damon Hill at Williams.
