S11 E1: Button's debut F1 season

Bring Back V10s returns for its 11th season, and we're kicking things off with an in-depth look back at Jenson Button's first F1 season with Williams in 2000, with the help of Mark Hughes and ex-Williams insider Jim Wright, alongside host Glenn Freeman.There's lots of behind-the-scenes stories all the way from how Button got into the frame for the Williams drive, the shootout test against Bruno Junqueira that earned him the seat, and what was really going on inside Williams with Juan Pablo Montoya being readied to replace Button for 2001.On track we look at the highs and lows of Button's season, from almost scoring points from the back of the grid on his debut, to standout performances at F1's classic circuits like Silverstone, Spa and Suzuka, as well as the times he excelled in mixed conditions - just as he would over the rest of his F1 career.VOTE FOR US!
