BBV10s Debrief special: Send us your thoughts on BAR's awful 1999 season!
🕑 Added 2025-06-16 19:00:07 +0000 UTCAhead of the return of Bring Back V10s for its 12th season in the coming weeks, we gave members in our 'Champions' tier the chance to vote for a special throwback episode of our Patreon-exclusive BBV10s Debrief show that launched during Season 11.
Unfortunately for Glenn, the heartless monsters chose BAR's 1999 campaign, which was covered in extensive detail back in Season 4!
That means the floor is now open for all of you to send in your thoughts, comments and questions about the season that started with that infamous talk of if the team could win its first race, and ended with it finishing last in the championship and failing to score a point.
So refresh your memory by re-listening to the episode linked above, then leave your comments under this post for Glenn to go through when he records a bonus Debrief episode in the coming days!

How many points does the team need to score for this to not be remembered as being a particularly bad debut F1 season of was the writing on the wall after all the bombastic pre-entry chat?

I remember by the Belgian GP that year, a local bookies was offering generous odds on Villeneuve finishing a race. I don't gamble much, but was going to put a few quid on him but never got around to it, a big regret!
