In this livestream, Cory Pesaturo introduces new stats that may just elevate Max Verstappen to GOAT status (15:38); and a wide variety of viewers' questions and comments take us forward to the new regs of 2026, back to the under-rated brilliance of Renault and Jean-Pierre Jabouille in the 1979 French GP, sideways to the artistry of Mauricio Arrivabene's signature and centre-stage to the rise and rise of Toyota in motor sport. In his opening monologue, Peter also pays tribute to the lives and times of the artist, Michael Turner, and the author, Gerry Donaldson

Peter, Mark Slade and viewers look back at the 2025 F1 season finale at Abu Dhabi. Max won it...but Lando took the title by two points. Plenty about which to talk right there - plus much more. As a special bonus, Mark Slade, a title-winning F1 race engineer, will be adding his views on the race and the season just past; the future of Alpine; the skill of Alain Prost; and why Ferrari have had so many problems in 2025. Viewers join us on YouTube chat to talk about all this and more in our latest livestream.

And so it ended.  Max, Oscar and Lando finished one-two-three on the Abu Dhabi road - but it was Lando who was thus ahead in the final standings of the FIA Drivers' World Championship by the margin of two points. Lando Norris = World Champion. Max was magnificent from the pole; Oscar ran hard Pirellis from the start (rather than the Mediums selected by all the other major runners) and, in so doing, applied some pressure on Max for most of the distance; towards the end, though, on old-ish Hards, Max was super-quick and super-consistent as he consolidated his margin over Oscar. Lando brought his McLaren MCL39-Mercedes home in a crafted third place, responding to potential undercuts from George Russell and Charles Leclerc and scything through the mid-field traffic whenever he was on fresh tyres; and Charles Leclerc finished a dazzling P4 for Ferrari, upstaging the factory Mercedes of George Russell and ultimately setting fastest lap late in the race on used Mediums. Into P6, behind George, came a classy Fernando Alonso in the Aston Martin-Mercedes, Esteban Ocon (Haas-Ferrari) and Sir Lewis Hamilton, who had started P16 in his Ferrari. In this video Peter looks back at the key elements of this absorbing, tension-filled finale and reflects - just a little - on the flavour of the season just past.

A somewhat shell-shocked Cameron chats to Peter on the Tuesday after the Abu Dhabi GP.  Lando is the new World Champion; Max is the season's winningest driver. So who won? And why? And what were the pivotal moments? And is the current F1 points-scoring system actually working? These were just a few of the topics covered on this particular morning, when the coffee was flowing freely and the sun - in Spain, at least - was kinda warm.

Against all odds - against all logic - Max Verstappen and Red Bull-Honda decisively and clinically won the Qatar GP on Sunday, with McLaren-Mercedes finishing only P2-P4, sandwiching the Williams-Mercedes of Carlos Sainz. In what will be remembered as the most inexplicable strategy call of the 2025 season, both McLaren drivers were told to stay out when a Safety Car was deployed on lap seven. Thus went their chance of a "free" tyre change in a race in which the use of each set of Pirellis was uniquely limited to 25 laps. With the rest of the field switching tyres under the SC conditions, McLaren now faced a two-stop race against what had now effectively become a one-stop race for their opposition.  And it was Max Verstappen who capitalised on that error - instantly and without blinking.  He was quick on his second set of mediums - and he was McLaren-fast on his set of hard tyres, often surpassing Piastri's times in the first two sectors. His was a titanic win at a crucial point of the championship, for Lando Norris now goes to Abu Dhabi, the season's finale, with only a 12-point lead over Verstappen and a 16-point margin over his team-mate. In this video, Peter Windsor looks back at the key elements of an extraordinary night.

No prizes for guessing the hot topics in this chat with Cameron.  McLaren's Qatar strategy - or lack of it - forms the basis of the Cam-Peter interchange, with Cameron doing his best to wind up Windsor wherever possible.  And Windsor, of course, takes the bait.  There's also lots of Lewis and mountains of Max...so sit back, add the pumpkin spice and sip the latte.

Sit back to enjoy another Max Verstappen demonstration of how it should be done - this time with a Red Bull that was virtually undriveable on Friday, so bad was its bouncing.  Max struggled through to P4 in the Sprint but, after changes made to the car before qualifying, recovered to start the main race P3. That became P2 after the first corner and then P1 when the McLaren-Mercedes made their first stop for tyres.  And P1 - despite the quality of the McLaren MCL39s - became the win. Simple. Or was it? We begin this video with a chat with Mark Slade, the race engineer who won races and world titles at McLaren and Mercedes.  After that, it's Peter taking your questions and comments about subjects as far afield as word-portraits of Stirling Moss, Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart; the sort of speech Zak Brown will deliver if McLaren fail to win the Drivers' title; and prospects for Abu Dhabi this Sunday.

Peter and viewers/listeners look back at a sensational Las Vegas GP and ahead to this weekend's Qatar GP - the penultimate round of the 2025 F1 World Championship. Cars will be limited to 25 laps per set of Pirelli tyres in Qatar - and it's a Sprint weekend, too.  So what can we expect?  After the mayhem of Vegas, the Championship fight is still very much alive in the hands of Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen. Peter talks about all this and much more in our latest livestream.

Max Verstappen's domination of the Las Vegas assumed much greater perspective post-race when, incredibly, both McLaren-Mercedes were disqualified due to technical infringements. In this podcast, Cameron grills Peter on this key moment, on the brilliance of Max, on the troubles at Ferrari, and with Lewis Hamilton in particular, and on lots more besides.  Download, settle back and enjoy the coffee.

It's all eyes on Vegas as Mark Slade delves into the nuances of car and tyre set-up for the fast street circuit - fast in the sense of long straights (as distinct from quick, demanding corners).  Temperatures will be slightly less cold this year due to the earlier scheduling of practice, qualifying and the race but Pirelli tyre preparation laps will still be critical - as Mark highlights in this podcast.  Peter also takes a multitude of questions and comments from viewers - some relating to the past, some the present and some the future.  Plenty of alleyways there, containing hidden doors to a vault of anecdotes. So sprinkle the cinnamon and enjoy.
