Short Corners

The Constructors' World Championship hung in the balance going into Abu Dhabi but McLaren-Mercedes nailed it down with a superlative performance from Lando Norris: he took the pole and dominated the race, leading home the two Ferraris - McLaren's only rivals for the title - by a comfortable margin.  Oscar Piastri qualified a strong P2 in the other McLaren but collided with Max Verstappen...

Peter, in conversation with @cameronCcTV, looks back at the Abu Dhabi GP and the topical events surrounding it.  Subjects include the George/Max feud, Sergio Perez and his future, Lewis/Ferrari/Leclerc, Lando/Oscar...and "aura". Download, pour the coffee, don't eat too many pistachio buns, order your Amalgam Red Bull model (details below)...and enjoy. With thanks to Jetcraft, the wo...

A one-place grid penalty was brushed aside by Max Verstappen in Qatar: within about 25 seconds of the lights going out - for as long as it took to float into T1 on the inside of George Russell, RB20 perfectly-balanced - it was Max in front, with everyone else in his turbulence.  Lando Norris fought him hard but was eventually (and needlessly, in our opinion) penalised for not respecting yellow fla...

It was a momentous Saturday evening on The Strip for not only did Max Verstappen clinch his fourth FIA F1 World Drivers' Championship but also Mercedes scored a convincing one-two finish, maximising the sweet spot of their Pirelli tyres in the cold of the Nevada night.  Ferrari finished third and fourth - a classy Carlos Sainz ahead of an irritated Charles Leclerc - and Max Verstappen drove c...

More outrageous Peter-Cameron chat in the build-up to the conspicuously-consuming Las Vegas GP. Which means it's time for another of those @twoshots_andorra-style pistachio buns and a latte or three.

This was one of the great ones - one of the great races and certainly one of the great wins.  From P17 on the grid Red Bull's Max Verstappen not only took the lead of the Brazilian GP with 26 wet laps still to run but also proceeded in setting fastest lap on 15 different occasions.  Some will say that Max was massively helped today by a red flag "free" pit stop - an unpredictable in...

In the slipstream of the sensational Brazilian GP, Peter takes live questions and comments from viewers worldwide. Topics include: Max's dominance in the wet (and what this means for the remaining three races); Lando's issues; Lewis's problems; the five fastest qualifiers in F1 (today); a Brazilian racing in F1 in 2025; the qualities of Jarno Trulli; the possibility of Carlos Sainz...

In conversation with Cameron, Peter looks back at the titanic Brazilian GP.  There's lots of chat about the quality of Max's drive, about Lando's dismissal of the quality of Max's drive, about Lewis's weird-looking situation at Merc and about George Russell's perfect use of fifth gear just before the braking area into Turn 1, Lap 1.  The usual scintillating chat, in o...

Peter addresses the state of the F1 world as Cameron asks him leading questions about Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris (and McLaren), Lewis Hamilton and much more.

It was the race when McLaren's Lando Norris closed the gap a little to the championship leader - Red Bull's Max Verstappen.  It was the race when Max, for his part, incurred two ten second penalties for his over-zealous driving.  It was the race when Norris beautifully beat Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in the closing stages.  And it was, withal, the race in which Ferrari's Carlos...

Scuderia Ferrari scored a brilliant one-two finish in Austin but it was the incident between Red Bull's Max Verstappen and McLaren-Mercdes' Lando Norris that stole the headlines. Culminating in Peter's take on the dramatic move that resulted in a penalty for Norris, Peter analyses the busy Austin action from Friday through to Sunday, also detailing the only untimed session, the Spri...

Lots - perhaps even too much - to talk about on the Monday after the USGP in Austin.  Lando/Max, Merc's woes, Checo's future...these were just some of the big talking-points from an event-strewn race. So order a Grande, sprinkle the chocolate and enjoy this (often irreverent) but penetrating chat. With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: https...

Lots to talk about as we approach this weekend's USGP in Austin, Texas - from the best corners at COTA to the car updates that may or not work to the magic of Argentina to the top five F1 designers of all time.  And much more.  This podcast also includes an exclusive interview with Zane Maloney, a very fast Young Gun who has been showing his prodigious talent in FIA F2 this year.  Zane talks...

Peter caught up with Hyundai's Thierry Neuville shortly after his return to Europe from the Rally of Chile.  The current leader of the FIA World Rally Drivers' Championship with two rounds to go, Neuville finished a solid fourth in Chile and won the epic SS11 stage in heavy fog.  He talks about that in this podcast - and the recent, astonishing slurs that Toyota's Sébastien Ogier ha...

Peter begins this livestream with his thoughts on the new tie-up between Toyota and Haas-Ferrari.  It's basically win-win from every angle - although the whole business of an F1 team by definition designing and building its own car takes a bit of knock when you consider that, in the immediate future, Haas F1 will be co-producing its cars with Ferrari, Toyota and Dallara... There are plenty of...

Hundreds of questions and comments coloured our September 26 livestream - many of them relating to the ongoing championship, race and political battles between McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari.  We didn't have time to respond to everyone but here's a good sample.  And, as a bonus, please also enjoy a 30min chat with Yves Morizot, the founder of Stand 21 (and thus one of the key me...

F1's most spectacular night race resulted in a classy win for McLaren's Lando Norris. After starting from the pole, Lando led perfectly into the first corner before comprehensively driving away from Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who finished well clear of Lando's team-mate, Oscar Piastri.  Mercedes qualified on the second row but lost all chance of a podium by choosing to start Le...

Join Peter and Cameron as they laugh, smirk and wince through the key moments of the 2024 Singapore GP.  Cameron leads the chat with pointed questions but Peter inevitably digresses into F1 nuggets born of the past, the present and a hoped-for future.

Peter Windsor details the events of the Baku GP - from Charles Leclerc's crash on Friday; to the very risky decision to bring both McLarens in to the pits with five minutes remaining in Q1 - a decision that arguably cost Lando Norris a podium; to the sustained brilliance of Norris's team-mate, Oscar Piastri, on race day.  Add the late-rash clash between Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez and...

Join Peter as he responds to more questions and comments from listeners.  There's plenty of talk about Monza - about that first lap in particular, and about Lando vs Oscar - but the subject matter of this podcast also includes: Niki Lauda, Adrian Newey's move to Aston, Fernando Alonso, Ferrari's technical structure (without Adrian), the exclusivity (or not) of F1 power units, future...

Against all odds, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc scored a momentous victory in the Pirelli Italian GP.  McLaren-Mercedes appeared to have the race on a plate after seizing the front row in qualifying but  an intra-team battle and resultant crazy mid-race pace played havoc with the McLarens' hard-compound Pirelli left-front tyres.  Forced to stop twice, the McLaren drivers could do nothing abo...

It was difficult to know where to start as we looked back at the Italian GP - but Charles Leclerc eventually got the nod.  Then it was on to McLaren and to the Monday morning realisation that, since Hungary, Lando Norris has lost a minimum of 16 points due to McLaren management decisions (or lack of them).  Responding to questions from @CameronCcTV, Peter in this podcast goes on to analyse all asp...

McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris didn't lead initially from the pole - but that was his only blemish at Zandvoort on Sunday.  He retook the lead from Red Bull's Max Verstappen after 15 laps and thereafter extended the gap - the more so when the pair switched to Pirelli hards. At the end, Norris had so much in hand that he was able to dig deep and to set fastest race lap even as the ch...

Peter chats with @cameronF1TV on the Monday after the Dutch GP.  Of course the sensational drive by McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris was on the immediate menu but there were plenty of other topics to cover over the next 90min or so - from Gilles Villeneuve to Toyota F1.  Sit back, download and enjoy.

It was the Wednesday after the Belgian GP - and we went  live, taking questions and comments from viewers, even as the F1 world settled into its August break.  There was lots to talk about, as ever, with crucial management changes taking place at both Alpine and Audi - and the Dutch GP at Zandvoort but two weeks away.  So relax, press download, move the sunshade a little and join Peter's late...
