Peter takes questions and comments from viewers and listeners on the Thursday after the Chinese GP. Some of the road dust has settled - but still there's plenty of it out there, swirling in the lithiumionishphere...

Cameron gently provokes Peter into the big talking-points from China, to wit: Kimi vs George; Sir Lewis vs Charles; the plethora of "overtakes"; appointing a new "Team Principal" at Aston long after the battery has overheated; the double-failure at McLaren-Mercedes; and lots more besides.

New regs or not - McLaren-Mercedes in the race (or not): nothing could detract from the enormity of this day in Shanghai - from the first GP win for Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli. From the pole, he seized the race lead from Ferrari's Sir Lewis Hamilton on lap two - and was thereafter never headed. Lewis re-applied pressure after the pit stops; and team-mate, George Russell, was up their in P2, pushing hard, as the race unfolded. Kimi, though, was unperturbed. His win was as decis...
No surprise about the subject matter here! We suspect Cameron was doing his usual devil's advocate thing but he did nevertheless succeed in winding up PW well beyond his analogue rev-limiter. This is the Monday morning after the infamous 2026 Australian GP, opening round of F1's much-revised - and massively inferior - new show. No substantive beverages required.

The factory Mercedes team - George Russell heading Kimi Antonelli - duly finished one-two in Melbourne, exhibiting more power, more downforce, more grip and more balance than all of their opposition - and capped all of that with perfect strategy calls. Ferrari pushed them hardest, with Charles Leclerc beautifully taking the lead into T1 and exchanging early-lap power surges with George Russell, but weird strategies quickly knocked them back to P3-P4, with Leclerc crossing the line 0.6sec ahea...
It's the Tuesday before the Australian GP - Round 1 of the 2026 FIA F1 World Championship. Lots to talk about and to contemplate, in other words - particularly with turbulence in the Middle East now colouring the F1 calendar and the FIA re-writing the piston compression ratio rules. Peter in this podcast responds to all these topics and more.

With the 53% ICE-47% Electric F1 now upon us, we spoke to Gavin White, the CEO and co-founder of About:Energy, one of the world's leading battery modelling and simulation companies. A motor racing fan in his own right, Gavin, 31, was introduced to the industry by Formula Student and today lists Porsche and Mercedes amongst his blue-chip customers. His insight into the new F1 - into the pitfalls and the bonuses - made for fascinating listening. Gavin White studied Mechanical Engineering ...
Recorded during the last phase of Bahrain Test 2, this podcast provides fascinating insight from Mark Slade on a number of major topics, including - (00:00) the relative performance right now of Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren; (03:33) the prodigious talent of Nico Hulkenberg (a driver with whom Mark has worked on numerous occasions); (07:52) the mess at Aston Martin-Honda; (23:00) the electrical power available from standard and over-ride modes vs car speed - graphic can be seen unde...
It being the Monday before the second Bahrain test, Cameron loses no time in this video the key issues of the moment - namely the 2026 F1 start procedures; the pace (or not) of the Newey AM; the complexity of PU management; and what the fans are going to see (or not) on screen. No need for any caffeine as you listen to this one...

With the first week of Bahrain testing underway, Peter Windsor and Mark Slade take questions live on YouTube chat. Subjects include: power harvesting and deployment; how some drivers will more effectively be able to enhance rear axle performance; active aero; overtake modes; start procedures; fuel-flow management; and how fuel will be burned...to generate electrical power. Mark Slade has been a race engineer at McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and Haas and has played a major role in two...

We were delighted to be joined by Craig Scarborough for this livestream - particularly as we were in the midst of the Barcelona "closed-door" tests. Lots of new cars to analyse and discuss, therefore - and lots of great questions from the viewers. In the second half of the stream, Peter took more queries from viewers and also paid tribute to Hans Herrmann, the outstanding German driver who passed away on January 9, aged 97. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and se...
At the later time of 19:00 CET, lots of new listeners joined this programme from all over the world.

Welcome to the 2026 F1 season - and thanks for all the great questions and comments. This podcast begins with a quick look at the McRae family - as in Jimmy, the five-times British Rally Champion and Colin, the much-missed Rally1 hero - after which we open the F1 vault. Topics range from Sir Frank Williams' road accident to Christian Horner's future and what Alan Jones felt after finishing P2 to Carlos Reutemann in Brazil, 1981. It's two hours, in other words, of non-stop F1 chat ...
Sit back and enjoy the banter in the first Camchat of the New Year. The new cars, the closed-door testing in Barcelona, the state of the overtaking game, the prospects at Ferrari, the most recent of the Sergio Perez quotes: it's all here - together, hopefully with a latte and maybe a donut or two. 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 upgrades for exotic and high-performance vehic...
In this livestream, Cory Pesaturo introduces new stats that may just elevate Max Verstappen to GOAT status (15:38); and a wide variety of viewers' questions and comments take us forward to the new regs of 2026, back to the under-rated brilliance of Renault and Jean-Pierre Jabouille in the 1979 French GP, sideways to the artistry of Mauricio Arrivabene's signature and centre-stage to the rise and rise of Toyota in motor sport. In his opening monologue, Peter also pays tribute to the lives and ...
Peter, Mark Slade and viewers look back at the 2025 F1 season finale at Abu Dhabi. Max won it...but Lando took the title by two points. Plenty about which to talk right there - plus much more. As a special bonus, Mark Slade, a title-winning F1 race engineer, will be adding his views on the race and the season just past; the future of Alpine; the skill of Alain Prost; and why Ferrari have had so many problems in 2025. Viewers join us on YouTube chat to talk about all this and more in our lates...
And so it ended. Max, Oscar and Lando finished one-two-three on the Abu Dhabi road - but it was Lando who was thus ahead in the final standings of the FIA Drivers' World Championship by the margin of two points. Lando Norris = World Champion. Max was magnificent from the pole; Oscar ran hard Pirellis from the start (rather than the Mediums selected by all the other major runners) and, in so doing, applied some pressure on Max for most of the distance; towards the end, though, on old-ish...
A somewhat shell-shocked Cameron chats to Peter on the Tuesday after the Abu Dhabi GP. Lando is the new World Champion; Max is the season's winningest driver. So who won? And why? And what were the pivotal moments? And is the current F1 points-scoring system actually working? These were just a few of the topics covered on this particular morning, when the coffee was flowing freely and the sun - in Spain, at least - was kinda warm. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and s...
