Hungarian GP LIVESTREAM 2407 with Peter Windsor 

I'm shocked by Peter's take on Piastri's win, saying Piastri should have not wanted the win and this was Lando's race, he had earnt it. The only reason Piastri nearly lost is because the team undercut him even though he was the leading car, everyone knows the lead driver gets first stops. Piastri won the start failry no matter what Peter says, he controlled the race and Lando could not catch and overtake him even though they are free to race as per the radio message to Lando. McLaren took the lead from him so they made sure he got it back, perfectly understandable and anything else would have been outrageous. Peter really baffled me on this one, I'm a fan but I need to stop listening for a while as to not start hating.

Wait…wait….Carlos Sainz took Alonso out in Australia, also he was penalised because he wasn’t sufficiently alongside, which is actually true, he wasn’t (by the letter of the rules) Although let’s go with what you said……most ridiculous penalty in F1 history right? Now you claim these are comparable incidents, but apparently Piastri is totally to blame when he pulls the same move? Which actually, wasn’t the same move because he WAS sufficiently alongside and there was no collision.

I don't normally comment - long time listener, fellow admirer of Max's and hater of DRS. Disagree with blaming DRS for Max's clumsy chuck up the inside of Lewis. This was poor judgement and a failure to control his emotions, pure and simple. F1 drivers should be able to control the overspeed which DRS gives, like it or not.

I am frankly baffled by the, what else can I can call it, rankness PW has been unwinding on behalf Lando. Lando himself did not complain about the first turn incident of which Peter makes so much but in which Lando himself chopped sharply into Piastri's racing line and, some would even say, nearly drove him into the wall. Rather, he admitted that he only got a bad start (yet again!). There was neither even only a "note" by the stewards of anything untoward by Piastri, let alone an investigation. Yet, Peter relentlessly excoriates Piastri for allegedly having steered into and forced Lando wide where, however, Max was romping past him and was himself forced wide. He contends that Piastri cost Lando a race lead which, it seems he is saying, Lando was somehow entitled to either for having been on pole or because he is the closest to Max in the fight for the championship. He asks: if Max was forced to hand back second position back to Lando, why wasn't Piastri asked to do the same thing? To me, utter rubbish! This is a man who has been on pole position five times yet has not once led the race at the end of the first or second turn. In his first pole this year, at the Spanish Grand Prix, and in the fastest car of the entire race weekend, Lando made yet another hapless start to the race and, going into Turn 1 was sandwiched on the inside by Max and on the outside by George Russell in almost identical fashion to what happened to him at the Hungarian race, ending up languishing in third position as Russell led the race with Max in second. Only in passing did we hear Peter allude in his post race "analysis" to the possibility of a penalty against Max which the stewards had however dismissed. Mainly, he was rather criticizing Lando "who should have been able to outbreak Max into turn 1", and even more exuberantly applauding Russell for having "gazumped both of them on the outside...hands down absolutely a superb piece of opportune driving by George Russell". So, what is different this time around? Piastri absolutely and utterly fairly launched past Lando on the off notwithstanding Lando cutting into his line and potentially running him into the wall. Notwithstanding a mistake on lap 33 that cost him time, Piastri then went on to build a commanding lead over both Lando and everybody else which he would undoubtedly have retained unchallenged to the end of the race hadn't the team pitted Lando first on lap 45 to protect Lando's second position then under threat from a hard-charging Lewis who would have jumped him if Lando had, as per normal protocol, been pitted after Piastri. By the time Piastri was pitted two laps later, Lando had ofcourse built an advantage on fresher rubber and jumped him. Now, if the team had in pitting Lando first, said to Piastri: tough luck, you made a mistake and now that we have to pit Lando first to protect both his second position and a 1-2 finish for the team, he will jump you, sorry! that would no doubt have elated Peter no end. But it would have been even more diabolically unjust to Piastri. In any case, that is not what the team decided. Its decision, which no doubt was communicated to both drivers, was that the true and fairest outcome of the race would be upheld to the end and that Lando would have to hand back the lead to Piastri. I have no recollection if such switch decisions, which have been and remain part of the daily fare of Formula 1, have previously triggered in Peter this amount of vitriol we are hearing from him this time around. But it is the decision that both employees of the team would have to obey. Piastri should have refused a win "given" to him??? Piastri does not feel, or should not feel like this was a win?? Yeah right!! Piastri would most definitely have had every right to be as mad as a hornet if a deserved win was undercut from him executively and handed to someone he had owned from the very first turn of the race and for 46 straight laps after that and was otherwise destined to finish at best only in third position!!

Gave him room? Lando almost ran Oscar into the wall down the straight. Stop the whinging Peter.

I enjoyed the live stream as always Peter. Love your content. Look forward to the next one 👍

totaly agree about the radio... none of my business, i am here for the racing.

Oh Peter!… very Salty!

If Piastri pits first like he should have he wins by a decent margin. The commentators knew that, maclaren knew that, and the rest of it is entitled narcissistic rubbish. For 46 laps nobody could come close to Piastri. The corner was a nothing incident and lando made a more dangerous move before the first corner. Oscar deserved that win 💯

It is in McLaren tradition to allow team fight, even when WDC is at stake. just remember Hamilton vs Alonso. One team order in whole season would give them WDC and WCC. Ron Dennis was so pissed but never interfered with drivers.

Enough!!! He was given help, if not for that he wouldn't have been a chance to win!!!!!

Part of the reason the undercut worked for Norris was that Piastri had made some errors and was being caught. If he had maintained his gap there would have been no issue.

Hi, Peter. Another great analysis of the race in Hungary. My question is, if DRS was banned tomorrow, would it bring back the excitement where drivers have to be genuinely better than the pole sitter to overtake, or is there a case for a driver to qualify 2nd or 3rd on the grid at the moment to take advantage of the massive advantage that DRS gives them? Surely, it's time to ban it, and get back to the days when the fastest driver wins without artificial advantages.

Just a minor thing but as Max had some problem with Lando “dive-bombing” him into Turn 3 at Austria would Max describe his attempted overtake of Lewis at Turn 1 at Hungary as “dive-bombing” or not?

Hi Peter, I would say that with Max there is the frustration of basically carrying the entire team, since Checo doesn't seem to producing anything, and certainly isn't able to support Max when he needs it, and this is not even looking at the upgrades that don't seem to have worked.

What Shovlin seemed to mean about Hamilton qualifying was that these cars don't like being hustled on corner entry - can snap into oversteer and then overheat the tyres too easily. Seems a bit mad to me that on a single banzai lap you have to look after the tyres like that, but it seems you do. Over race distance, yes, but single lap qualifying?

The 2025 F1 will be heavier than your road car? What are you driving?

Hypothetically, if you were a team manager and you found your driver was iRacing till maybe 8AM on race day, or was out partying all night, and you were worried about its affecting performance, wouldn't you say something? If the honest answer is yes, then it merely becomes a question of where you draw the line, not that drivers - who are employed to do a job - have complete carte blanche. 100% with you on getting rid of pits to car radios while on track, though.

excited for SPA...

Peter must get a commission from Rob Wilson with all these driver coaching recommendations!

you're absolutely wrong if you think three cars fit going into turn 1 at the start. and max is an idiot for thinking that was going to work out in any way advantageously for him. he's lucky the two inside cars didn't touch, or he would have been swept up collaterally.

Per: 1:41:46 Sta: 1:16:37? 1:42:15 Misc: 4:24 4:49 1:01:12 1:42:27

Banning DRS sounds good, I never liked it at all, but with these cars, I dont think much overtaking would happen. I take the point that lots of overtakes doesn't make a race, but there needs to be the potential of it. So get rid of it, sure, but big car changes would also be needed.

❤

Sim race would be no different to doing a sprint race but in more comfort...

1:29:00 lol, i make my own pizza and yes I also like pineapple on it. and pizza is just fine, make sure its organic italian wheat flour and sourdough fermented.

Do you think that Verstappen had rights to space on Lando, but he did not have rights to space on Piastri? Thus, Piastri was only obligated to leave enough space for Lando, and not Max, as Verstappen wasn’t far enough alongside Piastri? Lando would be obliged to leave enough space for Verstappen, but he was unable to as Piastri only had to leave space for one car. Thus, no one was at fault and it was a racing incident as Max had already committed and couldn’t really back out through the turn, but he was then obligated to give the space back. I really don’t know if that’s how the rules work. The rules for who gets rights to a corner and how to pass has always been a little mystifying to me. I was always confused as to how you could pass through a turn in a race of equal machinery if the car in front was always on the best line. Researching that is actually what initially got me to watch F1.

In my opinion, hamilton misjudged Max's speed and didn't see him locking up, he wanted to do the old switcheroo and turned in on max, so he could've avoided it and gone straight like everyone does wen they're pushed wide

1:05:02 Great name.

Max doesnt handle not winning well, thats why he was annoyed. If you look at any race Max isnt in control hes irritable. More so now because he knows he isnt guaranteed the championship (tho Mclaren look like their team orders might)

Not my cuppa tea

effective moderator needed on live chat....

Max is so silky and smooth...la la la.. the only problem is he cannot get past Lewis Hamilton. Lewis owned Max that race, regardless of DRS. Everyone has DRS so that is no excuse. None of the other drivers have problems with DRS.

You’re upset that your son Lando didn’t win British 🇬🇧 bias 👋🏻

01:07:31 Take that haters

Peter cannot hide his hate and degradation of Alonso. It's Max's opinion that Alonso is in top 5 but why is Peter triggered? Would he have reacted the same if Max said Jim Clark?

Peter doesn't realise that if Max does a simrace at night, the whole world knows.

If i was Lando, i would be looking for another team...disgusted by Mclaren i really am. To hear a driver being threatened over the radio was uncomfortable to say the least. Now..i hope it comes down to the wire and they lose the drivers championship by 7 points...no focus on the bigger picture.

Verstappen Doesn’t Act as if he’s Over 21- his Actions are more Like 12!✅💯

Have Red bull been caught cheating as this would explain the departure of adrian leaving and the slump in performance especially Perez's performance, just look at Perez's finishing position and the decline in car performance

I think the whole McLaren drama needs to be put into perspective: Lando is 76 pts behind, Oscar is 119 pts behind I think the team orders thing is basically a white flag that they are not focused on the drivers championship, "sorry Lando. Piastri hasn't won yet, this is his turn" A ridiculous sentiment given there are 11 races to go and RB looks the 3rd fastest car now

It was short sighted of McLaren to tell Lando to let Oscar by because not only has Lando been with them through bad times, they will regret it later in the season when every point will be needed for the drivers championship, the fans hate "manufactured" results especially as It wasn't a case of the second driver being noticeably faster to catch someone in front. RB & Max is hilarious, toys & pram come to mind.

Peter hating on FA as always 😄 . So now Peter knows more about F1 driving than Max Verstappen huh 😆🤣

Lando lost. Give up mate lol.

Max cant race wheel to wheel

Hi peter, Jamaica in the house

Pineapple is supposed to be on top of a float, not a pizza, mate!!

No penalty, 1st corner 1st lap, re- max & Lewis × 2 !!!!!!

I remember back in the early 2000s when FA was te king of F1 this guy Peter didn't have any issues with FA's driving style and his initial steering input saying that FA had invented "neutral steer" 😄 ......remember that Peter ? because I'm sure that none of your current followers knows about the dribble you used to spew back in the day😄. All it took was for Hamilton to come to F1 and start antagonizing Fernando for you to start hating on Fernando

Why can't you call it like you see it. Why is it that if you make an analysis call, that seems to favour one driver over another, all of a sudden you don't like one driver and like the other one, or worse, you're accused of bias based on nationality ( which is comical given your background when it comes to Lando v Oscar at least 😊) It's absolutely preposterous and I'm over it tbh. Proper analysis means that on any given weekend where a controversy exists, that analysis may result in criticism of a driver or team. This will change depending on the circumstances. Why can't people disagree with your analysis and not accuse you of favouritism or bias. To use a relevant recent word: It's childish.

I loved you until you mentioned your love for pineapple pizza - I just can"t follow you there - Can we keep it away from PIZZA?

Who the ... cares what you think at this point mate!? Get a life and stop inflicting your twisted options on the rest of us... PLEASE 🙏
