The Race F1 Podcast · Bring Back V10s: The cult heroes who helped shape F1's V10 era · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

I am going for, for reasons that are to follow, I'm going for Heinz-Held Frentzen.

And my reasons are not just because he was quite good, but not great.

My reasons are, I'm going to start, I'm going to go kind of chronological here.

He obviously came into F1 as the other, along with Carl Vennio, I guess, but one of the other great Mercedes hopes.

He always had that kind of, oh, you know, in sports cars, he was sometimes quicker than Michael Schumacher.

That thing hung around for ages.

When you get a tag like that, that sticks with you, I think that gives you some sort of cult status, almost.

I think he also qualifies because...

One of the defining things that happened in the V10 era was Damon Hill getting dropped by Williams when he was on his way to winning the World Championship.

And that happened because Williams had so much faith in Heinz-Harold Frentzen.

I think Ben's bowing his head.

And...

But then for Frenzen not to live up to it as well, his Williams stint was largely forgettable.

So after all the effort Williams went to, all the disruption Williams caused, the guy that they then did all that for didn't deliver, which then takes me on to the fact I love that he is the only guy who almost managed to fight for a championship for Jordan, like the ultimate kind of V10 era team.

I also like that...

the fact that you can drive for Williams and you get the final year really of like the Williams peak, if you want to call it that, the last Williams-Renault year where you don't get near fighting for a championship.

You manage... Yeah, Damon Hill is dropped for you at Williams, yet you end up fighting for a championship for Jordan of all teams.

And it all gets a bit heartbreak-y as well.

And then...

The end of his career is just kind of weird.
