In this interview with ‪@peterwindsor‬ we discuss the 2026 F1 Japanese GP and whether the Ollie Bearman’s 50G crash is proof that Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri are right in saying that F1 2026 the rules in 2026 are dangerous in addition to being anti-F1 and bad for the sport. We discuss Max Verstappen’s recent comments around his enjoyment of F1 and ‪@peterwindsor‬ explains why Verstappen might choose to make 2026 his final year in the sport and retire and ‪@peterwindsor‬  explains what it is about the new rules and regs that neutralises Verstappen’s gifts and why Red Bull don’t need a driver as good as Verstappen if the rules remain as they are . We discuss Verstappen’s response to Guardian journalist Giles Humphreys and whether Verstappen crossed a line in saying that he would not speak until Humphreys had left the Red Bull scrum. We discuss the changing face of Red Bull as it becomes more corporate and less of a racing team and why under Mekies, Verstappen is more likely to leave at the end of 2026.
‪@peterwindsor‬ explains why George Russell should not longer be favourite for the championship in 2026 and Kimi Antonelli does better than Russell! We discuss the secrets behind Mercedes starts and why Antonelli and Russell keep making bad ones. ‪@peterwindsor‬ discusses how McLaren have caught Mercedes up so quickly and could Oscar Piastri have won the Japanese GP but for the Bearmann induced safety car?
