Agree or disagree with Peter about Mercedes' progress?

This was great to say, thank you. I've been an avid fan of Peter Windsor for over 25 years now going back to him being on Speedvision then Speed TV. Speedvision/Speed TV held broadcasting rights to F1 back in the late 90s and early to late 2000s before being bought by Fox in the US and Peter was the main ontrack commentator/interviewer for the commentating team in the Speedvision studios. He is a wealth of F1 knowledge and even more so a F1 historian with story upon story back well into the 70s and offers a perspective like no one else I've heard and for me there is no greater single individual that I trust with my gauging and understanding of F1 than Mr. Peter Windsor. Hopefully we can see more collaborations like this in the near future.

Thanks for Peter!✅

Oh Cam not the safety car thing again, let’s hear this, at 0431hrs in Melbourne and still pissing down. 20:04 $$$ from/for Aston Martin and Mercedes Benz.

Might the Scuderia become the successor to Red Bull? Call me crazy, but I’d NEVER show Sainz the door in favor of Lewis. Carlos is right about to enter his absolute peak as a driver. And whoever gets him will be lucky. And I truly think Lewis will more often than not be looking at the number 55’s rear wing

You really think Verstappen was ‘Absolutely Robbed’?

Lets be clear here, Lando was faster even before Max "damaged" his car.

22:42 Safety Car line was green flag, when the Safety Car lights were off, it was great and a lot of people overtook by being on the ball. I like the Safety Car. We need it. 24:27 “No mistakes were made” thanks Peter 👍🏼❤️👀🤐 Cameron, God Tier Pete said it so 👀🤫🤐 Mclaren 1-2 was gonna happen that’s the wrong doing, poor Oscar. If Max complained about it different story, he accepted that Mclaren were faster, and acknowledged that accordingly 👀🤫🤐 Cam. Lol 🤪🤣👀 Still love ya though 😜

The VSC doesn’t bunch the field, thus making it more difficult to clear incidents…

As insightful as ever. Thanks to both of you. BTW I love how you end the show with advice to Christian Horner. Respect!

The goatiest mind of the goatiest sport on the goatiest podcast. I appreciate you Cameron.

With all due respect Peter, we were calling Alain Prost the Professor back in 1986.

Ooooh thats beautiful Peters opinion about the Safety Car vs Pitstops/ Pirelli is a great thinking and true But then again, so many times we need that, otherwise procession and i much prefer Safety car than what Nascar do, with 3 phases/ sprints in a race, and a final push for the line thats Bernie style tactics

Nice collection of hat mr Windsor ! Great insights with the greatest, thanks Cameron.

>>> Peter and You, Cameron *Are Great Together.!!!

I know I said this before but Peter and yourself that the both of you do an interesting talk on F1 . Keep it up. Regards, Basil ( born and bred Aussie)

Peter taking a dump on Merc progression, you've got to love it.😂

Totally agree about the unfairness of the safety car. It's a lottery. Aren't there enough factors governed by luck or the lack of in motorsport without making up new ones?

Insightful discussion akin to long form journalism. Solid work.

Excellent content from my 2 favourite pundits - many thanks.

Regarding the "why do we have a safety car" thing, and "was Max robbed?" question - Doesn't the Safety Car have communication with Race Control? Seems like they were out there without their CB on 😂😂

Ok I’ll blame Red 5 for Safety Cars in F1 🤣🤪❤️

It’s all about the tire compounds as I’ve been saying. Bloody Pirelli!

As some one said below, if the cars are spread and there is an incident, VSC can end up with people driving at very high speeds near incidents that are critical Safety Car has the ability to force the field to bunch up, giving marshalls up to 2 minutes at a time on most tracks to clear incidents and debris, and also slow down extra slow in certain areas to make sure everyone comes past not at speeds like Pierre Gasly in Japan .... The key is the gaps. Without the gap they have to red flag it, which delays races I am pretty sure there is a mandate (FOM) that red flags be avoided where unnecessary to maximise viewership Also whats critical to remember, which was agreed on by the teams (which goes back to AbuDhabi 2021), is there is a mandate (either by teams or FOM) that races end rather not behind a safety car So there is clearly an agenda for racing and pausing over stopping Also with red flag, teams can fix parts, eg Lando might not win cause Redbull can replace Max's floor; and swop tyres which no one wants cause then no pitstops/strategy For a non safety car solution it simple Set a VSC speed for the leader, and one for everyone else This lets the others catch up to him, while the leader drives at a safe speed No issue with who the car picks up The only issue, F1 rules for over taken cars says they filter through. Indy style rule of sending them to the back, avoids controversies of the all cars or "all cars" from Abu Dhabi 21' plus people dont have to wait an extra lap for them to catch up

31:08 Adrian is “God Tier” 1st person you’d have if building a team, before even Lewis, Max, Fernando,Lando,Oscar or Charlie cause any of them would be World Champion in the RB19 and most likely the RB20, I think Mclaren and Ferrari will have their say about that, I’ll let you know 100% after Imola ok 🧐👀🤔⁉️

Newey to Boeing... ✈️✈️

Gave the channel another try, given you're using somewhat less click-batey title. Really good, really interesting content with Peter Windsor, who always keeps things real & fresh. Keep the content and the titles as buttoned-up and responsible, and I'll keep watching.

You deserve to have more viewers. Many more…

Äätön? I don't mind anything bad but 3 times word champion's name should be remembered, Ayrton "aerton".

I feel like I'm part of the conversation, or at least listening to like minded people who know so much more than I do about one of my favourite subjects, and I always learn. I too am wondering if Ferrari now think they've made a mistake; Sainz is my new hero. Come on; in recovery from surgery and beating so many odds to do as well as he is, is fantastic. I love Lewis but Sainz has gained massive respect all over; at least he should. Great stuff guys.

Sail GP he said few years ago he likes Christian Horner said he is the only persons can see the Air

Maybe F1 can adopt a full course yellow procedure like the WEC. Every driver goes around the track on the pit limiter until the track is clear.

Talking about the way Ayrton Senna dressed: "He wasn't over the top either..." 😃 Makes me think of one driver in the present....

Safety cars allow a Marshall to run on to a track to clean up some small debris or take a broom and sweeps up something by bunching up the pack and giving the machell about a minute of clear a track instead of red flaging the race . You cant do that if all te cars go around a bit slower and the same gap apart so you would need to red flag it . If i have seen hundreds of gp for the last 30 years where we have watched the marshals rush out quickly to shift a car and pick up some bits i am sure you and Peter have . Safety cars in the last 1/3 race shake up tyre strategy and add to the entertainment show side of things , safety car in first stint nerf the race and destroy any opportunity for different strategies. And red flags are extremely unfair to drivers that pit under virtual safety car to save a few seconds but 2 laps after the red flag comes up and every one else gets new tyres and keep track position. So virtual safety car for first stint yellows, full safe for last part and red for damaged walls and broken cars .

I feel like f1 is headed towards the nascar playoff system that 12 people understand wtf is going on. Idk, it worries me. Always great to hear you two together and the remembrance of Sterling and Ayrton was fantastic.

I'm not convinced regarding that Sainz Jr. thing. I mean he asked for a penalty for Perez in the first corner for what? Kind of like that time when he radioed that the car behind him was intimidating him. What!? And if Perez would have actually made the corner, where would Sainz be..? We don't know. And you talked about how RB needs to hold up the carrot for Perez for him to perform. Maybe it's similar for Sainz now, because he is out of contract. It's just that we don't know which team the carrot is. Could be RB, although I am personally confident that RB want to keep Perez if he performs, because they want to keep Verstappen. They do have such a great relationship...as long as Max keeps winning. If you know what I mean. Surely VER Sr. does not want an actually competitive driver alongside Jr.

Peter Windsor is an ocean of F1 wisdom ❤️ "Perez did a Riccardo Patrese" 😂😂😂

You and Peter talking is god tier

Great show guys 😜🥰👍🏼

I miss life, threatening, F1

The safety car did absolutely wrong according to the current safety rules based in cars in track

Urton?

"The only reason we have the safety car is to bunch the field", come on guys, the safety cars primary reason is to avoid having to stop the race when the track is unsafe to race. A virtual safety car is always preferable except for instances where the marshals need a clear gap to work. In order of preference it should be Yellow Flag, Double Yellow Flag, Virtual Safety Car, Safety Car, Red Flag. Before advancing down the list of options there should be a good reason for doing so. There was a period where it did feel like the safety car was deployed too quickly and instead of the virtual safety car. After Abu Dhabi, that seems to have been scaled back, if anything, the safety car in the more recent races hasn't been deployed quick enough, such as when Russell crashed in Australian Grand Prix, the car right in the middle of the track on its side, what was difficult about making that call? Interestingly in Miami when Verstappen hit the bollard, it looked like a virtual safety car would be needed to clear the debris from the racing line and Verstappen would have been the big beneficiary at the time had that been the case. As it was, the hazard was cleared by a couple of brave marshals, Verstappen then pitted under normal race conditions. A few laps later, when Kevin Magnussen and Logan Sargeant necessitated the deployment of the safety car, the safety car mistakenly picked up Verstappen, allowing Norris an almost free pit stop. Post-race the FIA put the decision down to a late call, missing Norris by 20 meters; with the FIA reputation in tatters others might see it differently. The way Magnussen was driving and picking up points "doing his job" how long before teams openly sacrifice a driver in order to necessitate or delay a safety car? In 2021, Abu Dhabi, Mercedes could have had Bottas stop on track and thereby prevented the sham restart procedures. Would that action have been any different to Michael Masi making up the rules?

With all due respect to Cameron, I don’t think ANYONE of us, outside the Red Bull team, know ANYTHING about where Checo stands. I think it’s juvenile to talk in certainty about his future and just see how he performs across the year as opposed to a race by race analysis. At least I don’t believe in unsolicited gossip but I digress…

I think F1 needs to take a hard look at itself, and decide whether it's going to be a franchised commercial fake show with fake product marketing and contrived racing including'safety cars,' DRS and push to pass; or whether it should be pure sport, with no politics and going back to it's engineering grass roots and club racing feel.... I know what I would choose and what was real

👍👍

Peter is the goat

I don’t think I would want to be on the same stretch of road as Joe Biden in an AC Cobra 😮

Ferrari has a better car now, and that’s the only advantage over Merc. Which is irrelevant bc Newey will be designing a new car for 2026 anyway. Ferrari is a pure nostalgia/lifestyle move

Toto is a typical corporate employee and as per his behavior trend, he doesn't seem to be a very at it as well.

While I value Peter's perspective (on F1) his casual (but lazy and imprecise) assertion of Trump's statements, coupled with a reference to "the ozone layer's thinning" and it's relation to global warming, raises concerns about Peter's lack of any understanding regarding these environmental interactions... If you're going to criticise someone be accurate with your criticism, also helps if you know even the fundamentals about the topic. (edited to add a timestamp: about 37:41) If Trump actually said Global Warming has little to do with the thinning of the ozone layer as you assert I would have to agree with him lol... what a silly thing to say Peter...

Lewis got Sainz seat clearly because something was lacking at Ferrari between 2022-2023 despite the car being decent. Lewis almost came in 2nd in 2023 in a car that was behind the Ferrari's. Ferrari needed to make changes and of course they would keep Leclerc. Now, if Ferrari produce a competitive car with Lewis and Leclerc, Max has work to do, if Lewis is not there, Leclerc will be there, and if Leclerc is not there Lewis will be there, more times BOTH will be there. If Ferrari produce a dominate car, a great competition will unfold between Lewis and Leclerc, and not just a period of one man domination boring the life out of us. Of course if Newey joins Ferrari, I see Lewis wanting a good two years with him, but I don't see Lewis racing forever like Alonso. If there is a seat on offer, Alonso will be making snidey, sinister and sarcastic comments over the radio long after Lewis retires. If Newey joins Ferrari it will be because Lewis joined, and if Newey remains in Ferrari after Lewis retires boy Leclerc will have a lot to enjoy regardless. Lots of ifs, but you know.

URTON. Different take.

Whenever you say, "I don't want politics involved in my sport, its because you are privileged. Your life isn't impacted negatively enough by your Western governments who unalive so many people around the globe. The purpose of politics invading your spaces is to force you to be uncomfortable enough that structures of power respond to the needs of people who aren't privileged. Still love u both, privileged and all.

Ferrari or Farewell

The guy is 65 perhaps he just wants to do something different.

Are mercedes turning a corner!!!??? This has been asked or stated by mercedes literally every race since the new regs, it somehow doesn't get old???? Anyone remember Brazil? When will people learn

Cameron, Cameron, Cameron, Peter is not close to Adrian Newey, please don't promote that narrative.

41:59 I feel bad for Carlos too, but if Lewis is available and you’re desperate then 🤔 I’d put Lawson in the RedBull as of Bahrain 🇧🇭’24 no questions asked 🧐🤐😤🤯💥👀🤬. Sainz should be going to Aston with Alonso, why go to RB when they sacked him, Mercedes are terrible right now, Sauber/Audi won’t be good til 2028, too late so Aston is a gimme 👀🤔⁉️

Why would Adrian want to go another team , he's a multi millionaire. I think he'll go sailing and forget F1.

Interesting. Biden drives a 67 Corvette not a 🐍. A lot to consider this video…

What if Verstappen went to Mercedes?

Lando got lucky! When he races & passes Max I will give him his flowers.

Cam still triggered by Trump lol

Do you also hear ( 22.00 ) how Peter's brain is programmed in such a way that he names Max, Michael and Vettel.... but not Lewis ... wonderful to see :-) It is also so wonderfully childish to see how much both of you, as diehard Lewis fans, love to dream of a Newey who would go to Ferrari just to help your hero get back in the saddle. The very idea of the two of you here to take down Toto and the Mercedes team, while they really gave your hero the best material ever seen in the Formula 1 history, so that he could win no less than 6 world titles in a row, is just pathetic!

How about Adrian Newey just want to retire and go circling in Cape town South Africa folks.🤔🤷

He’ll leave F1 entirely, Finish up or maybe hypercar

Peter sounds like a biased RB fan.

1. Sainz isn't sacked. He's gonna race for Ferrari until his contract expires 2. There are literally hundreds of reasons why Ferrari are signing Hamilton instead of Sainz. I love these Cameron / Windsor podcasts, but these Ferrari / Hamilton discussions are baffling at times...

>>> *I for one,, Do Not Understand how F 1 can not pick out and get AHEAD OF THE ACTUAL LEADER?? ***NASCAR IN AMERICA HAS ZERO PROBLEM FINDING THE LEADER..!!!
