The end of an era in Grand Prix racing.

Back in 2005, F1 Cars used V10 engines for the last time... or so we thought.

After Paul Stoddart announced that the Minardi Grand Prix team would be leaving the sport at the end of the season, Red Bull would be quick to buy the team and rebrand it is Scuderia Toro Rosso now Racing Bulls.

Whilst the other teams used V8 engines in 2006, Scuderia Toro Rosso used a limited 16,700 RPM V10 engine.

Enjoy the sights and sounds of the STR1 at the Mugello Circuit! #F1

Eddie Jordan gave Michael Schumacher his F1 debut.

Two weeks later, he’d lost him. Over one word.

August 1991. Jordan, a brand-new team, had just lost one of its drivers to a jail sentence. Eddie needed a replacement for the Belgian Grand Prix, fast.

He took a chance on a 22-year-old German sportscar driver. He later admitted he took him because he needed the money (Mercedes paid $150,000 for the seat).

Schumacher qualified 7th on his debut, at a track he’d never driven.

The whole paddock noticed.

Eddie thought he had him secured. He’d agreed in principle with Mercedes, who backed Schumacher, to keep him for the rest of the season.

But no contract was signed.

The letter of intent said Schumacher would sign “a contract”, not “the contract”. His manager later said that one-word difference is the only reason he didn’t have to stay.

Jordan went to court and lost. There was no contract to enforce.

The fight got so messy that F1 changed its rules. From 1992, every driver contract had to be officially registered.

By then, it was too late for Eddie. Schumacher had raced for Benetton in the next Grand Prix, and went on to win 91 races and 7 world titles.

All because of the difference between “a” and “the”.
