On the face of it, a Lando Norris/McLaren-Mercedes walkover - and a straightforward race - seemed inevitable. In reality, the 2025 Mexican GP was anything but. It produced stunning drives not only from Lando but also from Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Oliver Bearman. It included a dramatically-spectacular first corner melée. And it created, one-on-one, a Max-versus-Charles, Red Bull-versus-Ferrari, soft Pirelli-versus-Hard Pirelli closing battle for P2 that...ended in a VSC. It ha...
Lando, Oscar, Max, Charles, Lewis, Ollie...they're all featured in this Mexican GP debrief chat with Cameron. Cam's his usual, provocative self, of course - but will Peter take the bait? Time to order the capppuccini and croissants...

There is much to consider after Austin - so there are views aplenty on the Big One: can the brilliant Max Verstappen achieve the almost-impossible and win the 2025 world title? Following his clean sweep in Texas, that question is more than hypothetical. Also, how is Zak's McLaren Masterplan panning-out? And, following their aggressive showing in Texas, can Ferrari be truly competitive in the thin air of Mexico this weekend? As a special bonus, this livestream also includes an in-d...
The F1 teams by Monday morning in Austin had long since departed for Mexico; for Cameron and Peter Windsor, however, there was still much to dissect, to wit: the quality of Max Verstappen's win-all weekend; the so near-so far race for Lando Norris; the brilliance of Charles Leclerc; and the lack-lustre Sunday for Oscar Piastri and George Russell. Plus: we have a Championship...and the winner may not be a McLaren driver. Enjoy. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buy...
On the back of his two poles and Sprint race win, Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen led the US GP from start to finish, beating Lando Norris (McLaren-Mercedes) by eight seconds. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished an excellent P3 after choosing to start the race on soft-compound Pirellis; his team-mate, Sir Lewis Hamilton, finished fourth; and a lackluster Oscar Piastri took P5 in the other McLaren-Mercedes, ahead of George Russell (factory Mercedes), Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull-Honda), Nico Hulkenbe...
It was George Russell and Mercedes all the way in Singapore - thanks to the brilliance of that combination around the Marina Bay circuit and also to a decision by Red Bull to start Max Verstappen on soft Pirelli tires. In trouble with tyre degradation long before the medium-compound runners around him were due to stop, Verstappen thereafter spent the bulk of the race in stunning defense on his older, hard-compound Pirellis. He finished a diamond-hard P2, though, ahead of the two McLaren...
Lots of post-Singapore chat here, ranging from the gloves-off moments between Oscar and Lando; the perils of Vogue; Red Bull's decision to start Max on Pirelli softs; and the very underwhelming evening for Ferrari. So charge up the ear pods, order the capuccini and enjoy.

In the wake of a frenetic weekend of sport - Max at the "Ring, Jos in Belgium, Alpine in Japan, Europe at Bethpage Black - we join Peter live on YouTube as we look ahead to this weekend's Singapore GP, round 18 of this year's mammoth 24-race championship. The night race could be close, particularly if Ferrari keep it on the straight and narrow. McLaren-Mercedes drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, are still a long way ahead in the points table...but the new floor on the Red Bull RB21-Hond...
Peter and viewers/listeners look back at another sensational with for Max Verstappen and Red Bull-Honda. Baku confirmed that Monza, for Max, was not a one-off: the new floor is a major step forwards. McLaren-Mercedes drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, are still a long way in the lead...but it isn't over yet. Mercedes, too, ran strongly at Baku - but Mercedes and McLaren suffered weekends to forget. We talk about all this and much more in this, our latest livestream. With tha...
It was Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen all the way at Baku - from the pole, throughout the race and with fastest lap to his credit. In terms of a Grand Slam like this, Max is now only two away from...Jim Clark. George Russell finished a valiant P2 for Mercedes, ahead of Williams-Mercedes' Carlos Sainz, who drove beautifully from the front row. With Ferrari finishing only P8/P9, and McLaren-Mercedes P7/DNF, the minor placings were filled by Kimi Antonelli (P4 in the other factory Mercedes), Li...
Cameron was in provocative form for this one, teasing Peter into parts of the F1 pit lane on which others fear to tread. Lots of laughs, in other words - and lots of chat about McLaren, Max, Ferrari and the confluence that was Baku. Double-espresso time.

A very special livestream here, featuring an interview with Rob Wilson, the world's premier race driver coach. We talk about short corners, rates of input, managing the weight transfer - and much more besides. In addition, Peter takes two hours of your questions and comments in the build-up to this weekend's F1 race at the Baku street circuit.

It's the Wednesday after the 2025 Pirelli Italian GP at Monza, so there's lots of chat here about team orders at McLaren and the potential for Max Verstappen and the re-floored Red Bull-Honda; but also there is the usual, wide spectrum of subjects raised by our listeners, ranging from the role of driver coaches in F1 to which drivers - in the history of the sport! - have had, or have, the best throttle control. Good question... Peter talks about all that and more in this latest livestre...
Settle back for this non-stop (and often irreverent) post-Monza chat with Cameron. All the big topics are here, including THAT first corner; Max (momentarily) ceding the lead; the happy-clappy McLaren team; and...Ferrari...and Carlos Sainz...and Kimi...and Red Bull's often-brilliant Monza car set-ups. It's double-espresso time. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: https://jetcraft.com To OEM Exclusive, the passionate suppliers of OEM upg...
Despite ceding the lead to McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris at the end of lap one, Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen brilliantly won the Pirelli Italian GP at Monza, beating both McLaren drivers down into the minor placings. For their part, McLaren introduced more controversial team orders to enable Lando Norris to finish second ahead of Oscar Piastri. Charles Leclerc drove the skin off his Ferrari to finish fourth ahead of Mercedes' George Russell and Sir Lewis Hamilton, who started with a five-...
In this evening (CET) livestream on the Thursday night before the 2025 Italian GP, Peter Windsor again takes a wide variety of F1-themed questions and comments from listeners around the world. Highlights include Lewis Hamilton's braking technique; Kimi Antonelli's feel for F1's heritage; and THAT $100m fine...

Join Peter as he receives more great questions and comments from viewers and listeners. Subjects range from the relationship between short corners and sims; the definition of luck; the legality - or not - of Watchalongs; the future of Sir Lewis Hamilton; and the brilliance of the American journalist, Pete Lyons - with particular reference to McLaren's Bruce and Denny Show (the forerunner of today's OscarLando Production). With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of ...
It's the Monday after the Dutch GP and so much of the initial talk revolves around the massive step forward taken at Zandvoort by McLaren-Mercedes' Oscar Piastri. Then there's Lando, George, Toto, Ferrari, Sir Lewis, Charles...and much, much more. An oat-milk latte, preferably from Juan Valdez, Bogota, will suffice.

Back after a short break, Peter takes a wide variety of questions and comments from listeners. Highlights: the role of bravery in a driver's repertoire; what type of driver was James Hunt?
