We invite you to take a trip back in time - to a wet, soggy Nürburgring - as we re-live the 1962 German GP with Peter Windsor.  The race resulted in a classic win for BRM's Graham Hill - but that was just the start of it.  Hill was lucky to survive a lurid practice crash;  Porsche, with Dan Gurney, were superquick after a week of testing; and for a while on Sunday, with mudslides making life perilous for the 350,000-strong crowd,  it seemed as though the race might not happen at all.  Peter  details these  events and more - and concludes this podcast with an assessment of the astonishing success of BRM chassis no 5781.  With 23 top-ten finishes to its credit, is it the most successful GP car of all time?

Peter Windsor's second livestream of 2024 begins with a look back at the career of John Webb, who passed away last week.  A motor racing entrepreneur in the truest sense, John was known for his WebbAir charter service, as a sage commentator with Autosport and as a race promoter for Motor Circuit Developments in the great days of Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Mallory Park, etc.  Peter then takes questions from F1 fans around the world, the flavour of which can be found in our chapter headings.  This podcast has been edited from the original for reasons of length.
A special thanks to all the viewers who added to this show with their questions and comments.

To the backdrop of stellar F1 careers at Honda, BAR, Force India, Aston Martin and Alpine, Otmar Szafnauer talks openly about key F1 issues, including  his departure from Aston and Alpine and about the controversy surrounding Oscar Piastri's switch from Alpine to McLaren.  In conversation with Peter Windsor, the subject also turns to the F1 cost cap and to whether Red Bull will continue to have the advantage in 2024.

In this first episode of a new series, we are delighted to be joined by David Brown,  Nigel Mansell's Race Engineer throughout Nigel's race- and championship-winning years at Williams.  Based now in the US, where he is in charge of Porsche North America GT3 and GT4 on-track performance, David talks to Peter about his early days at Williams; winning with Nigel and the FW10B-Honda; the Golden Years of 1986-87, when the Williams FW11 and FW11B-Hondas were producing over 1100bhp; and about the 1991-92 seasons, when the Patrick Head-Adrian Newey Williams FW14 and FW14B-Renaults were the class of the F1 field.  As Peter was also the Williams team manager at this time, our chat with David naturally includes lots of laughs about shared incidents and timeless memories.
