S6 E6: When Jaguar tried to snatch Newey from McLaren

What this episode covers

Jaguar appeared to have struck gold in the summer of 2001 when it announced it had snapped up design genius Adrian Newey from McLaren. But just 13 days later, its hopes of getting one of F1's greatest ever technical minds were over. Edd Straw and former Jaguar Racing website Editor Andrew Van de Burgt revisit an incredible fortnight in the F1 news cycle, and we also hear briefly from Newey, plus insight from Bobby Rahal - the man who orchestrated what would have been one of the greatest surprise deals of the 21st century.We explore the background at both McLaren and Jaguar in late-2000 that led to the deal coming together over the early months of 2001, the importance of the friendship between Newey and Rahal that dated back to IndyCar racing in the 1980s, and how Niki Lauda played an unintended role in the deal falling apart.ASK US ANYTHING: Submit your questions for our series finale using #BringBackV10s on Twitter, or email [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
