Peter predicted in the build-up to the Monaco GP that Ferrari would be super quick...and so it proved. Charles Leclerc not only won his third pole at Monaco but also went on to win at home for the first time, replicating the achievement of Louis Chiron in 1931. It was, as such, a momentously significant race for F1 - but it was also an unusual one: the Pirelli hard- and medium-compound tyres ran virtually the full race distance; and for many laps the top four were covered by only four s...
It was breathtakingly close at Imola in both qualifying and in the race. Max Verstappen won from the pole for Red Bull-Honda but the McLaren-Mercedes drivers pushed him all the way, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri proving that the updated 2024 McLaren can also shine on a circuit very different from Miami. Ferrari were the third-best team, still lacking a little top speed, but the recent updates at Mercedes left Lewis Hamilton and George Russell fighting only for the minor places.&n...
In the build-up to the "MSC Cruises Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna" (aka the F1 race at Imola) this weekend, Peter responds to questions and comments from viewers around the world. He introduces this podcast with a detailed look at Mercedes' win in the 1924 Targa Florio - a result that the current Merc F1 team are celebrating this weekend as George Russell drives the famous, red, 2-litre supercharged, Porsche-designed car to Brisighella for the Lorenzo B...
In this livestream Peter looks back at the stunning memorial service for Sir Stirling Moss, held at London's Westminster Abbey on (the gloriously sunny morning of) May 08. He also takes questions and comments relating to the Miami GP, the FIA, the Andretti F1 team application, the driving style of Alpine's Pierre Gasly, the woes at Mercedes...and much, much more.A big thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets:https://jetcraft.comTo pitbox.io.

Peter Windsor recalls the genius of Jim Clark - the only driver in history to have won the F1 World Championship and the Indianapolis 500 in the same year. Peter first talks about Clark's career generically; then, transporting us back to Silverstone, 1965, he details what may have been Clark's greatest Grand Prix victory.A big thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets:https://jetcraft.comTo pitbox.io.

Adrian Newey to leave Red Bull! This is the underlying theme of our April 25 livestream.

To take part in future...
Max Verstappen's trophy collection was overflowing after China - but there were plenty of sub-plots to keep us entertained. The first sprint race of the year resulted in a pole for Lando Norris and a P2 for Lewis Hamilton; Carlos Sainz recovered brilliantly in qualfying after hitting the barrier on Saturday; Fernando Alonso gave us a reflex masterclass during the GP proper; and Lando Norris - rejecting the suggestion that he try a bit of engine braking - drove beautifully into P2 ...

Revisit all three days of the Japanese GP with Peter Windsor - from Friday, when Mercedes showed lots of promise, through to the weekend, when Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari remorselessly rose to the top. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez drove beautifully to create another one-two for Red Bull-Honda - and the Ferrari drivers were impeccable, too: Carlos Sainz finished a strong third and Charles Leclerc nursed his medium Pirellis in the first stint for 25 laps eventually to finish P4. ...

Relive the three days of the Rolex Australian GP as they happened with Peter Windsor. Although Max Verstappen took the pole for Red Bull after a relatively scrappy practice on Friday, his early retirement paved the way for a momentous one-two victory for Ferrari. Carlos Sainz, facing an uncertain future following Lewis Hamilton's 2025 Ferrari signing, not only out-qualified his team-mate, Charles Leclerc, but also out-raced him to the flag. The two McLaren-Mercedes finished a strong thi...

It may have resulted in another one-two finish for the reigning champions - for Red Bull, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez - but on this night in Jeddah there was plenty of action amongst the supporting cast, specifically amongst Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Aston Martin. Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri took the major honours - but huge was also the drive of 18-year-old Oliver Bearman, standing-in for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari. Peter Windsor in this podcast looks back at all thre...

Before taking questions and comments from viewers and listeners, Peter talks through the new Sauber C44-Ferrari - a car that for a brief moment appeared under the team name "Stake" (before the Swiss government enforced its tight gambling regulations). The discussions then continue from last week: the impact of Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari; the poor treatment of Mario and Michael Andretti; the potential repercussions of the Christian Horner accusations; the future of Carlos Sainz - a...
