Short Corners

Some major discussion here - about the new regs, about Max, about Ollie Bearman's accident, about Kimi and George...so probably best just to listen-in. I think a latte with a bit of vanilla is required.

Jock Clear's F1 career spans three decades, beginning with a championship win for Williams with Jacques Villeneuve (1997); securing the 2014 world title with Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes; and, in recent times, performance-engineering for both Charles Leclerc and Lewis at Ferrari. In this special livestream, Jock looks back at his career and takes questions from viewers. Topics include: working with Jacques, Lewis, Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg, Takumo Sato, Rubens Barrichello, Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc; the essence of "gardening leave"; and his favourite F1 power unit.

The F1 cars have fallen silent for the next few weeks but in the meantime there's no shortage of questions, comments and topics about which to talk and chat.  Topics range from the current F1 and its complications, to the brilliance of Chris Amon, to the excellence of the 2026 Japanese Super Formula series: the usual spread, in other words. Enjoy.

Round three of the 2026 F1 World Championship - the all-new F1 championship - resulted in a second consecutive win for Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli.  After making a slow start from the pole, Kimi benefitted from a lap 22 Safety Car deployment to vault past his team-mate, George Russell, McLaren-Mercedes' Oscar Piastri and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.  He pulled away impressively at the re-start and was thereafter never headed. Piastri, whose medium Pirellis had been in good shape when he was strangely called in for hards on lap 21, finished second; and Leclerc was third for Ferrari, ahead of Russell, McLaren's Lando Norris and Sir Lewis Hamilton in the other Ferrari.  Peter details all three days at Suzuka in this podcast - and there's a bonus at the end as Mark Slade adds his take on the race.

Mark Slade has been a race engineer at McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and Haas and  has played a major role in two World Championships, 34 GP wins, 101 podiums and 40 pole positions.

Peter takes questions and comments from viewers and listeners on the Thursday after the Chinese GP.  Some of the road dust has settled - but still there's plenty of it out there, swirling in the lithiumionishphere...

Cameron gently provokes Peter into the big talking-points from China, to wit: Kimi vs George; Sir Lewis vs Charles; the plethora of "overtakes"; appointing a new "Team Principal" at Aston long after the battery has overheated; the double-failure at McLaren-Mercedes; and lots more besides.

New regs or not - McLaren-Mercedes in the race (or not): nothing could detract from the enormity of this day in Shanghai - from the first GP win for Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli. From the pole, he seized the race lead from Ferrari's Sir Lewis Hamilton on lap two - and was thereafter never headed.  Lewis re-applied pressure after the pit stops; and team-mate, George Russell, was up their in P2, pushing hard, as the race unfolded.  Kimi, though, was unperturbed.  His win was as decisive as it was audacious.  George duly finished P2, Lewis a stellar P3 and Charles Leclerc P4 in the other Ferrari.  Neither McLaren made the start (electrical issues); and it was another bad day for Red Bull and Aston Martin.  In this video, Peter looks back at a big day for Italy and for the new F1 regs.

No surprise about the subject matter here!  We suspect Cameron was doing his usual devil's advocate thing but he did nevertheless succeed in winding up PW well beyond his analogue rev-limiter.  This is the Monday morning after the infamous 2026 Australian GP, opening round of F1's much-revised - and massively inferior - new show.  No substantive beverages required.

The factory Mercedes team - George Russell heading Kimi Antonelli - duly finished one-two in Melbourne, exhibiting more power, more downforce, more grip and more balance than all of their opposition - and capped all of that with perfect strategy calls. Ferrari pushed them hardest, with Charles Leclerc beautifully taking the lead into T1 and exchanging early-lap power surges with George Russell, but weird strategies quickly knocked them back to P3-P4, with Leclerc crossing the line 0.6sec ahead of his team-mate, Sir Lewis Hamilton. A messy day for McLaren-Mercedes began with Oscar Piastri crashing into the barriers on his pre-grid out-lap and Lando Norris finishing only P5. Red Bull-RBPT Ford's Max Verstappen finished P6 after starting near the back of the grid on hard Pirellis, but his team-mate, Isack Hadjar, who had qualified P3, was out of the race early with a PU blow-up. In this video, Peter looks back - with a somewhat critical eye - at this first race of the new F1.

It's the Tuesday before the Australian GP - Round 1 of the 2026 FIA F1 World Championship.  Lots to talk about and to contemplate, in other words - particularly with turbulence in the Middle East now colouring the F1 calendar and the FIA re-writing the piston compression ratio rules. Peter in this podcast responds to all these topics and more.
