S13 E5: Turkey 2010 - The dramatic fallout from big Vettel/Webber clash

S13 E5: Turkey 2010 - The dramatic fallout from big Vettel/Webber clash

Author: The Race Media Ltd May 14, 2026 Duration: 1:28:17

Bring Back V10s drops a couple of cylinders to look back at a famous race from the V8 era: the 2010 Turkish Grand Prix. Glenn Freeman is joined by Edd Straw and Jon Noble, who were both at Istanbul Park that weekend, to look back on a race most famous for Red Bull team-mates Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber wiping each other out while battling for the lead!


As well as analysing the incident we look back on how everyone involved handled it, and why Red Bull couldn't get the situation under control after the race.

McLaren also had a misunderstanding of its own that almost resulted in Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button repeating the Red Bull trick on their way to a 1-2 finish, featuring some pretty animated radio traffic from Hamilton.


Off-track we look back on how Robert Kubica was settling in at Renault, the struggles for the new teams on the grid in 2010, Michelin's late bid to derail Pirelli's 2011 F1 deal, Mercedes' underwhelming start to life as a team owner, and why things looked so bleak for Ferrari at this stage of the season.
