Short Corners

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.

Lots upon which to focus after the (last) Dutch GP at Zandvoort, as can be seen from the chapter headings below.  The race resulted in a second consecutive victory for McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris.  Mercedes finished two-three ahead of the two Ferraris - but there was plenty of intra-team in-fighting behind those four results...particularly at Ferrari. Max Verstappen's race ended with a high-speed crash on lap one; Oscar Piastri was well-placed on hard Pirellis before his team unaccountably stopped him early; and Fernando Alonso was in the points for the first time with the Aston Martin-Honda.

The diminutive Zandvoort circuit, hosting its last Dutch GP, proved to be less energy-rich than expected - but did produce a spectacular race, punctuated by Max Verstappen's first-lap crash; an absorbing battle between McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris and Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli; the usual strategy mis-management at Ferrari; a McLaren own-goal on Oscar Piastri's side; and ultimate victory for Norris

This podcast features two motor racing legends with very different talents telling their very different stories of how they came to be a part of Colin Chapman's winning team at Indianapolis in 1965.  That was the year Jim Clark stunned the motor racing world not only by becoming the first driver to win at Indy with a rear-engined car (The Lotus 38-Ford V8) - but also by clinching the F1 World Championship two months later.  Allan Moffat - at that stage a young Canadian with dreams of becoming a race driver - worked as a go-fer initially for the Ford Lotus Cortina team in North America and then for the Indy-winning team; Jim Smith, a tough Aussie marine engineer who sailed to England to seek his fortune, found himself building said Lotus Cortinas in Cheshunt, England, after replying to a newspaper ad. From there it was but a small step to the Team Lotus race shop...

I spoke to Jim Smith outside my Sydney hotel; the chat with Allan is a little scratchy due to him being on an early-model cell phone in Australia while I was talking from the UK. I've re-mastered the call as best I can but apologies for any remaining imperfections.

A true F1 hero, Denny Hulme dug deep in 1970, when his friend and mentor, Bruce McLaren, lost his life in a Goodwood testing accident. At the time, Denny was in the very early stages of recovery from extensive burns to his hands - mainly to his left hand and forearm but also to his right hand - after surviving a spectacular methanol fire at Indianapolis. Eschewing advice from the medics, Denny then returned to F1 at the French GP, determined to lead the McLaren team forwards despite the loss of Bruce. This audio podcast begins with an ebullient Denny talking after the 1969 Dutch GP, when he fought a close battle with fellow Kiwi, Chris Amon. It then fast-forwards to the paddock of the 1970 French GP at Clermont, where a shattered Denny talks about driving the M14A-Ford into fourth place despite the excruciating pain of holding the steering wheel with his left hand while he changed gear with his right. It concludes with Denny talking a couple of weeks later, after the British GP at Brands Hatch, where he has just finished P3 after a titanic battle with Ferrari's Clay Regazzoni.

Shortly after announcing his retirement from F1 - after the Mexican GP, 1970 - Sir Jack Brabham looked back at the early days of his career and talked about his sheer love of driving. As a bonus feature, this podcast also includes a short interview with Sir Jack after his heartbreaking, last-corner, out-of-fuel drama at the 1970 British GP at Brands Hatch.

I sat down with Emerson Fittipaldi in his São Paulo office in 2015 - to talk with Emerson the double World Champion (1972, 1974), double Indy 500 winner (1989, 1993) and all-round father of all that is great about Brazilian motor racing. What a driver. What a person.
