Short Corners

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 demi...

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. Visi...

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...

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 cram...

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 w...

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. Special thanks to @CameronCc And with thanks also to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: https://jetcraft.com To TrackNinja, a la...

Lots of great topics here - all generated by incisive questions and comments from listeners/viewers. Topics range from the Monaco GP just past to the GP of Barcelona-Catalunya this weekend, with a little bit of FIA/F1 PU chat, a Jim Clark story and the usual Nigel Mansell anecdotes along the way. No need for caffeine on the side. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller o...

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 la...

Mark Slade joins us live for this Monaco GP preview - and of course there'll be no shortage of storylines. How will the electric-ICE 2026 F1 cars perform around Monaco? Will the great corners in the Principality still be great? Which cars will the circuit favour? Can Monaco's hero, Charles Leclerc, bounce back from a difficult Canadian GP weekend? Or can Sir Lewis Hamilton sustain his mo...

Join Peter in the afterglow of a sensational Canadian GP as we look back at the highs and lows in Montreal.  Have the 2026 F1 regs redeemed themselves?  Can we expect more of the same in the upcoming races?  And what of the rise and rise of Kimi Antonelli?  Lots to talk about - and we meet the very special co-author of a very special new book, too.  With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's larges...

What a race!  Kimi Antonelli and George Russell fought for the lead until lap 31, when George's Mercedes ground to a halt with a battery issue. Kimi then cruised to his fourth successive victory, leaving the P2 spotlight on Sir Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) and Max Verstappen (Red Bull-RBPT-Ford); Sir Lewis won that battle. The McLaren-Mercedes? After qualifying on row two, they were out of it vir...

It's the Monday morning after the Canadian GP and so naturally all talk (or most of it) is about that amazing George-Kimi duel and the repercussions thereof. Plus Sir Lewis. Plus Sir Max.  Plus a little bit of McLaren tyre strategy. Plus some Charles, too. Definitely a podcast to be accompanied by a strong Americana. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of execut...

Peter and Mark preview this weekend's Canadian GP in Montreal.  There's some amazing detail in this livestream, ranging from the way Mercedes have been increasing compression ratios to why Fernando Alonso, in his first McLaren year, went off three times in Montreal at Turn 1. Absorbing stuff. Mark Slade has been a race engineer at McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and Haas and  has played a maj...

Despite the three-week break between Miami and Canada, there was still lots to talk about when Peter went live on May 12.  Subjects generated by the viewers ranged from the FIA's on-going 2026 F1 regulation tweaks to Max at the 'Ring, with a little bit of Jim Clark and Ronnie Peterson thrown in for good measure.  Enjoy. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller o...

Cameron's becoming very good at winding up PW - never more so in this latest, post-Miami chat. Kimi, George, Ferrari, Max, Red Bull, the future, etc, etc. Enjoy. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: https://jetcraft.com To TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track car and driver performance through analy...

Astoundingly - astonishingly - Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli in Miami won his third successive Grand Prix  from his third, successive pole. Peter in this video looks behind that amazing achievement and at the key moments of a momentous three days in Miami which included: Max Verstappen completing a perfect 360 in front of the field on lap one of the race; a three-way battle for the lead between Fe...

This weekend's Miami GP previewed on this livestream by Peter and Mark. There's also a lot of chat about the effect of the F1 tech rule revisions - "Which car is currently quickest in a straight line (aerodynamically-speaking)?" -  and lots of fascinating questions and insights from the viewers. Mark Slade has been a race engineer at McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and Haas and  has...

Some major discussion here - about the new regs, about Max, about Ollie Bearman's accident, about Kimi and George...so probably best just to listen-in. I think a latte with a bit of vanilla is required. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: https://jetcraft.com To TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track...

With the FIA announcing significant changes to the F1 technical regulations 24 hours before this livestream, much of the chat - and Peter's opening monologue - is given to how the cars - and drivers - may now look in Miami. In an action-packed show, Peter also takes us to the Sierra Morena mountain range in South Spain, scene of last weekend's opening round of the European Rally Champion...

Jock Clear's F1 career spans three decades, beginning with a championship win for Williams with Jacques Villeneuve (1997); securing the 2014 world title with Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes; and, in recent times, performance-engineering for both Charles Leclerc and Lewis at Ferrari. In this special livestream, Jock looks back at his career and takes questions from viewers. Topics include: working...

The F1 cars have fallen silent for the next few weeks but in the meantime there's no shortage of questions, comments and topics about which to talk and chat.  Topics range from the current F1 and its complications, to the brilliance of Chris Amon, to the excellence of the 2026 Japanese Super Formula series: the usual spread, in other words. Enjoy. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's lar...

Round three of the 2026 F1 World Championship - the all-new F1 championship - resulted in a second consecutive win for Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli.  After making a slow start from the pole, Kimi benefitted from a lap 22 Safety Car deployment to vault past his team-mate, George Russell, McLaren-Mercedes' Oscar Piastri and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.  He pulled away impressively at the re...

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 P...

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.   With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: ht...
