S7 E5: Jean Alesi's explosive 1990 season

What this episode covers

Jean Alesi announced himself as an F1 star in the making at the first race of 1990 in Phoenix, where he led the first half of the race, then cheekily stole the lead back from Ayrton Senna after the McLaren driver passed him mid-race. It set the scene for an eventful year for Alesi on and off track, as he performed underdog heroics with Tyrrell, and ended up signing contracts with both Williams and Ferrari for 1991. Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt join host Glenn Freeman to assess how good Alesi's season really was, why he never regularly hit those heights over the rest of his career, plus who or what was at fault for the mess he found himself in behind the scenes.GET IN TOUCH: Use the hashtag #BringBackV10s on Twitter or email [email protected] you know The Race has an app?
