Short Corners

The rain dampened the Interlagos circuit but not the F1 show as McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris rompled to an emphatic win from Red Bull's Max Verstappen. Peter talks through all three days of the Brazilian (São Paulo) GP - from a dry Friday to a wet/semi-wet Saturday to a semi-wet/dry/semi-wet Sunday.

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli was outrageously good in Austin, Texas - at a time when he could have been forgiven for backing away a little bit, or perhaps playing it safe.  Not a bit of it. The young Italian treated the USGP as just another race he needed to win - and he went out and did exactly that, taking the pole, out-shining his team-mate, George Russell, and beating back the likes of Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Max Verstappen (Red Bull) into the minor podium positions. It was not easy, however; it never is, despite the composure, despite the consistency.  So...

There was still a buzz in the air when Peter and viewers/listeners in this livestream looked back at the Singapore GP. There was of course lot of talk about the talent of Max Verstappen - and also of the state of play at Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren. Peter's opening monologue celebrated the arrival of Rwanda as an F1 venue - and he also looked back at the Natal GP near Durban, where both Jim Clark and Trevor Taylor won in the early 1960s for Team Lotus. Note: this was the first time we streamed live in the new...

Falling, as it did, between Sepang and Singapore, there was plenty to debrief and preview in this livestream with Peter. Singapore will be a sprint weekend, which nudges things a little further in the direction of Red Bull and Max Verstappen - and on this Wednesday morning also came the news that George Russell will be starting his factory Merc from the back of the Singapore grid (due to the new power unit he will be using to replace the one that failed in Malaysia). Peter and viewers talk about all this and much more in this latest livestream...

From Friday through to Sunday, Peter analyses the key elements of F1's return to the legendary Sepang track in Malaysia, scene of the "Bahrain GP" that was cancelled earlier in the year due to the unrest in the Middle East.  After a slow start from the pole on intermediates in the wet, Max Verstappen went on to score his first win of the season for Red Bull-RBPT Ford, decisively beating the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli.  Sir Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari chose to start on Pirelli slicks but, after sinking to P18, Lewis recovered brilliantly eventually to finish third. Ge...

Excluding the staged one-twos of the Michael Schumacher/Ferrari era, Baku produced the closest F1 finish since...Jerez, 1986, when Ayrton Senna's Lotus-Renault crossed the line only 0.014 ahead of Nigel Mansell's Williams-Honda. At Baku, 2026, Max Verstappen's Red Bull-RBPT-Ford was only 0.196 behind George Russell's winning Mercedes as they crossed the line, bringing to an end a race of two worlds - a tedious follow-the-leader procession in the first phase followed by a Safety Car-generated, dramatic reboot over the closing 16 laps. Isack Hadjar underpinned an excellent day for Red Bull by finishing a strong third ahead of Charles Leclerc's Ferrari; Kimi Antonelli...

Peter joins F1 fans in the afterglow of the Spanish GP in Madrid.  What did they think of the circuit and the race? And what of the storylines - of Lando's near-win, of another big day for Kimi and of Max at this best in a less-than-great racing car?It's non-stop in this latest livestream - with all the usual by-roads along the way.

Lando Norris led from the pole but his win in Madrid fell away when a brief Virtual Safety Car intervention came a few seconds too late for him on lap 15 (of 57): by the time he had completed another lap the race was on again. Charles Leclerc, who didn't stop under the VSC, then led for Ferrari for most of the distance but ultimately it was Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli who scored the eighth win of the year, leading across the line the Red Bull of Max Verstappen and the charging McLaren of Norris. Leclerc finished P4, ahead of Mercedes' George...

Sir Lewis Hamilton finished only P6 for Ferrari but for the Tifosi at Monza there was still much about which to go crazy: Kimi Antonelli, the boy from Bologna, started his Mercedes from P19, led the race, dropped to P6 in a tyre change - and then regained the lead to win. It was an epic drive in an epic, baking-hot race and it marked the first home win for an Italian driver at Monza since Ludovico Scarfiotti headed a Ferrari one-two there in 1966. George Russell led for much of the race in the other Mercedes but ultimately finished...

Lots upon which to focus after the (last) Dutch GP at Zandvoort, as can be seen from the chapter headings below.  The race resulted in a second consecutive victory for McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris.  Mercedes finished two-three ahead of the two Ferraris - but there was plenty of intra-team in-fighting behind those four results...particularly at Ferrari. Max Verstappen's race ended with a high-speed crash on lap one; Oscar Piastri was well-placed on hard Pirellis before his team unaccountably stopped him early; and Fernando Alonso was in the points for the first time with the Aston Martin-Honda.

Chapter he...

The diminutive Zandvoort circuit, hosting its last Dutch GP, proved to be less energy-rich than expected - but did produce a spectacular race, punctuated by Max Verstappen's first-lap crash; an absorbing battle between McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris and Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli; the usual strategy mis-management at Ferrari; a McLaren own-goal on Oscar Piastri's side; and ultimate victory for Norris

This podcast features two motor racing legends with very different talents telling their very different stories of how they came to be a part of Colin Chapman's winning team at Indianapolis in 1965.  That was the year Jim Clark stunned the motor racing world not only by becoming the first driver to win at Indy with a rear-engined car (The Lotus 38-Ford V8) - but also by clinching the F1 World Championship two months later.  Allan Moffat - at that stage a young Canadian with dreams of becoming a race driver - worked as a go-fer initially for the Ford Lo...

A true F1 hero, Denny Hulme dug deep in 1970, when his friend and mentor, Bruce McLaren, lost his life in a Goodwood testing accident. At the time, Denny was in the very early stages of recovery from extensive burns to his hands - mainly to his left hand and forearm but also to his right hand - after surviving a spectacular methanol fire at Indianapolis. Eschewing advice from the medics, Denny then returned to F1 at the French GP, determined to lead the McLaren team forwards despite the loss of Bruce. This audio podcast begins with an ebullient Denny...

Shortly after announcing his retirement from F1 - after the Mexican GP, 1970 - Sir Jack Brabham looked back at the early days of his career and talked about his sheer love of driving. As a bonus feature, this podcast also includes a short interview with Sir Jack after his heartbreaking, last-corner, out-of-fuel drama at the 1970 British GP at Brands Hatch.

I sat down with Emerson Fittipaldi in his São Paulo office in 2015 - to talk with Emerson the double World Champion (1972, 1974), double Indy 500 winner (1989, 1993) and all-round father of all that is great about Brazilian motor racing. What a driver. What a person.

Niel Allen is without question one of the fastest racing drivers I ever saw. A quiet Australian who did things his own way - first by building a commercial property empire in Sydney, then by racing a succession of stunning race cars prepared by the unmatchable Peter Molloy - Niel by the late 1960s/early 1970s was right up there with the best of the many internationals who raced in Australia at that time. From Elans to Mustangs, to F2 and F5000 McLarens and to brutal, CanAm Elfins, Niel was always decisively fast, impeccably neat and super-competitive. He was...

In an interview recorded with Peter in early 2014, Niki Lauda talks about his racing career, his business world and life in general. Niki was World Champion in 1975 and 1977 with Ferrari and in 1984 with McLaren-TAG Porsche; in 1976 he famously survived a fiery crash at the Nürburgring; and, away from racing, Niki founded Lauda Air in 1979; and, as non-executive Chairman of AMG-Mercedes F1, in the year of this chat, he guided the team to its first World Championships wins of the hybrid era.

In this special August Break livestream Peter takes your questions and comments around a particular theme - about how Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen take T14 in Hungary.  Delving deep into the subtleties of shorter corners and rotation zones, Peter, sketching live on camera, offers his explanation of why stars like Max, Kimi and Charles Leclerc are able to drive the way they do. Kimi recently said that he "turns in very late, very aggressively" - and that's true, of course.  Thing is, many F1 observers have mis-understood this to mean that he turns in late to the entire co...

Lots of great questions and comments here as we head into the August break in the turbulence of Hungary.  Mark Slade, a race engineer who knows how to win at the Hungaroring, joins us with his unique understanding not only of the events of the past weekend but also for the likely reasons behind George Russell's slow getaway. Mark's explanatory diagram is included within the chapter headings of this podcast.  Alternatively, you can download it from our channel's Community page.

Cameron's in excellent Wind-Up-Windsor form for this podcast, focusing, as he does, on Oscar, Max, Kimi and Lewis with much more squeezed in between.  The August break may be upon us; nothing tranquil about today's chat, however. Enjoy.

It was great to have Mark Slade with us again to guide us through the power management complexities of the Belgian GP and to provide an insight into what we might expect in Hungary this weekend. In this livestream there were also lots of penetrating questions from listeners/viewers - so a big thanks to all who took part.

Although this Monday morning debrief kicks off with chat about the Belgian GP trophy and Acting the Goat, it quickly dissolves into analysis of the George-Lewis clash on lap one; the ever-expanding excellence of Kimi;  the heroism of Max; and the P2 for Charles and Ferrari. We know you like your coffee, but, on this occasion, post-The Open (let's hear it for Foxy!), post-The World Cup (even Dexter was animated!), post-Spa, a nice glass of water will probably suffice.

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli scored a perfectly-judged win at Spa after passing the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc in the closing stages - after making the pass, you could say, that he had been denied at Silverstone. Max Verstappen drove valiantly into P3 for Red Bull, despite a top speed disadvantage and numerous deployment issues - and he might have been P2 had not Leclerc's pit stop been "neutralised" by a brief virtual safety car period. George Russell, who did not complete lap one in the other Merc, has now been displaced in the World Championship points table by the driver...

In this livestream Peter and viewers/listeners look ahead to this weekend's Belgian GP at Spa - with plenty of other storylines along the way.  A big thanks to all who joined YT chat for this stream - great stuff, as ever.

It being the Tuesday after the British GP, Peter begins this livestream by asking Mark about the key elements of the race - the component failure on Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes; Max Verstappen's DRS drama; and the relatively low top speeds at Silverstone (with associated discordant engine notes).  Mark and Peter then field a huge number of great questions and comments from viewers.  Lots of fun, as ever.

Although F1's 2026 technology looked a bit stretched around the usually-brilliant Silverstone GP circuit, raw human emotions surely abounded. Charles Leclerc is a winner again; Kimi Antonelli was the star who almost made it; and Max Verstappen was the despondent survivor of another big moment after again driving his heart out. With George Russell inheriting P2 after Kimi's late-race demise, the ironies were complete: Sir Lewis Hamilton, who finished P3, at one stage fought hard with Max into Copse, reliving those desperate first-lap moments of 2021; and Charles, as he sprayed the champagne, could think also of 2022, when, as the...

Double-heading straight to Silverstone, many are the F1 storylines:  can George win again? Will Kimi upstage him on home ground? Will Ferrari and Sir Lewis re-capture their Spanish magic? Will Max and Red Bull leap still further towards the front? Or will the World Champions - McLaren - finally get it together? All this and more as Peter takes your live questions and comments on YouTube chat.

No escaping the elements here: George and that single yellow; Kimi and his astonishing pace; Max and his taste for perfection; Ferrari and their tyre deg; McLaren and their downgrades. Plus, plus, plus. Barely time for an espresso, indeed.

George Russell may have converted his controversial pole into an Austrian win but it was his Mercedes team-mate, Kimi Antonelli, and Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who lit up the skies above Spielberg. Max, after pushing George hard in the second half of the race, drove brilliantly into P2; and Kimi, who finished third, closed quickly on both George and Max in the closing laps. It was a stunning day for Red Bull, with Isack Hadjar finishing sixth in the other RB22 and the two Racing Bulls - also powered by the RBPT Ford engine - taking the last two...

The focus in this livestream is on the upcoming Austrian GP but - as ever - there were plenty of distractions along the way...like our first question of the day - from Jim Hontz: "Name your top three drivers from each of the decades, starting from 1950..."  Needless to say, Peter didn't run the full gamut of those times - but the tone, at least, was set. Anyway, this podcast is crammed with great questions and comments from the viewers/listeners - and Peter's opening monologue includes a tribute to Guy Edwards, who, in Peter's opinion, remains the greatest p...

This day in Spain will famously be remembered for the first Ferrari victory scored by Sir Lewis Hamilton.  And it was no gift.  After starting from the front row and splitting the two factory Mercedes in the early race phase, Lewis dramatically chose to make a second tyre change - to medium Pirellis -  at the perfect moment. His mid-race pace on the softer tyres quickly elevated him to the front when the Mercs stopped for their second set of hards - and Lewis always seemed likely to be there at the finish, despite a third pit stop that was...

Despite only four hours' sleep on Sunday night, Peter in this podcast is quickly fired up by the incisive Cameron - particularly with the focus on Sir Lewis's amazing win in Barcelona and Kimi's awesome pass at T1/T2/T3.

Lots of great topics here - all generated by incisive questions and comments from listeners/viewers.

Although Max Verstappen's qualifying brilliance on Sunday came to nought - came to a dead stop on the grid, just after lights-out - there was still a Monaco GP to be run. There were penalties aplenty; there were Safety Cars; there was a standing re-start; and drivers like Ferrari's Charles Leclerc hit the barriers. Through it all, though, from the front, from the pole and with fastest lap to his credit, Kimi Antonelli, 19, the Mercedes driver, won the Monaco GP.  Sir Lewis Hamilton finished a valiant P2 for Ferrari, ahead of Max's team-mate, Isack Hadjaar, who, despite PU management d...
