Peter Windsor recalls the genius of Jim Clark - the only driver in history to have won the F1 World Championship and the Indianapolis 500 in the same year.   Peter first talks about Clark's career generically; then, transporting  us back to Silverstone, 1965, he details what may have been Clark's greatest Grand Prix victory.

 Max Verstappen's trophy collection was overflowing after China - but there were plenty of sub-plots to keep us entertained.  The first sprint race of the year resulted in a pole for Lando Norris and a P2 for Lewis Hamilton; Carlos Sainz recovered brilliantly in qualfying after hitting the barrier on Saturday; Fernando Alonso gave us a reflex masterclass during the GP proper; and Lando Norris - rejecting the suggestion that he try a bit of engine braking - drove beautifully into P2 on Sunday...

Revisit all three days of the Japanese GP with Peter Windsor - from Friday, when Mercedes showed lots of promise, through to the weekend, when Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari remorselessly rose to the top.  Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez drove beautifully to create another one-two for Red Bull-Honda - and the Ferrari drivers were impeccable, too: Carlos Sainz finished a strong third and Charles Leclerc nursed his medium Pirellis in the first stint for 25 laps eventually to finish P4.  Aston...

Relive the three days of the Rolex Australian GP as they happened with Peter Windsor. Although Max Verstappen took the pole for Red Bull after a relatively scrappy practice on Friday, his early retirement paved the way for a momentous one-two victory for Ferrari.  Carlos Sainz, facing an uncertain future following Lewis Hamilton's 2025 Ferrari signing, not only out-qualified his team-mate, Charles Leclerc, but also out-raced him to the flag. The two McLaren-Mercedes finished a strong third...

It may have resulted in another one-two finish for the reigning champions - for Red Bull, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez - but on this night in Jeddah there was plenty of action amongst the supporting cast, specifically amongst Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Aston Martin.  Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri took the major honours - but huge was also the drive of 18-year-old Oliver Bearman, standing-in for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari.  Peter Windsor in this podcast looks back at all three days of...

Before taking questions and comments from viewers and listeners, Peter talks through the new Sauber C44-Ferrari - a car that for a brief moment appeared under the team name "Stake" (before the Swiss government enforced its tight gambling regulations).  The discussions then continue from last week: the impact of Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari; the poor treatment of Mario and Michael Andretti; the potential repercussions of the Christian Horner accusations; the future of Carlos Sainz - and...

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 ...

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. ...
