Short Corners

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 sit back - or download - and enjoy the USGP at the Circuit of Americas as it happened through the eyes of Peter Windsor

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 European time slot of 20:00 CET (Wednesday).  A big welcome to all our listeners from the Americas and Canada and thanks for joining the show.

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. Enjoy.

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. George Russell, trailing his team-mate, lost P3 due to a power unit issue late in the race; neither McLaren-Mercedes was ever in contention; and Isack Hadjar seemed set to finish P3/P4 in the other Red Bull before a late-race problem with the battery.

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 finished fifth in the other Mercedes (after starting 16th); and Sir Lewis Hamilton placed sixth in the other Ferrari.
Peter in this video looks back at the key elements of a spectacular day in Azerbaijan.

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 Russell, but Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton was an early retirement with a brake problem. Peter in this video looks back at an intriguing day at the new circuit - and at a Red Bull call that might have cost Max Verstappen the win.

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 P2, ahead of a brilliant Max Verstappen, who brought his difficult Red Bull-RBPT Ford home in P3, and the two McLaren-Mercedes of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Pierre Gasly, who took a surprise pole for Alpine-Mercedes, crossed the line P7. Peter in this video looks back at an historic day in Monza Park - and at the possible causes of the lap two accident that landed Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in the Parabolica tyre wall.
