Peter Windsor: Should Toto Go? 

I’m a simple man, I see Peter Windsor’s name on one of Cam’s videos, I click.

Max has been excellent for so long, that non drivers don’t realize how good he is and that he should be driver of the day.

Toto needed Niki around him as a balancing character, Toto's been terrible since Niki left this world.

The GOATS of F1 content.

Being in the US and having watched since they were televised in the 80s we are used to not watching them live. All the races were watched on VHS. It matters not to me when they start, I'll watch on my own schedule. The FIA still have not found a replacement for Charlie Whiting.

Mercedes is the new Williams. Won championships until they didn't

I dream of an F1 that's all about on-track action, and not off-track "Days of Our Lives" drama!

The *best* insights in Formula One. Thank you gents.

The points you both made about celebrating Lewis' last season and managing the people better is bang:bang on! More positivity and motivation right now would lead to more positive outcomes for all stakeholders. Peter and Cam : bang on on this one 🏁

I watched the Indy Car event in Long Beach CA, USA and I was delighted with the results overall. Great racing, support series was awesome and diverse and the on track battles were splendid. No after the fact protests or penalties changing the outcome, no focus on politics or gossip....just 3 days of racing

To fix sprint races, require teams to have a 3rd car, then run the sprint races olny 1 car per team and let the reserve drivers race in the sprint race.

So calming hearing these two talk About F1.

What a fascinating and interesting conversation as always, that hour just flew past for me there! Always a treat when you both get together for these Cameron thank you.

You need experience being on pole to know what it takes to start at pole. Likewise you need experience with leading a race to know what it takes to lead a race. How much experience does Lando have in that respect?

Has to chime in. I'll catch this one this evening. You guys are FIRE!!

The FIA need to stop penalizing drivers for being F1 drivers. Let them race with some balls instead of just having a Drs parade.

I agree with Peter on the sprint races. Just get rid of them, doesn't add anything to F1 IMHO

Lando would have 20 wins under his belt by now if it wasn't for this Verstappen era of dominance.

Dear Peter , You were talking about a certain engineer you proposed to Toto. Toto did not do anything with your mail. Why not helping this guy to another team, e.g. like Austin Martin ?

Great stuff... Thanks 👍🏻

Dynamic duo!

Peter you call yourself a purist but you believe that the teams should have a clear no1(fast) & no2(water carrier). At the same time to choose drivers according to their nationality (marketing).......🤣

Pete and Cameron are fast becoming the best F1 pundits/bloggers about (IMO)

If national drivers are important... then that means we have way too many British drivers on track occupying seats that could have been filled by Brazilians, Indians, South-Africans and so on.

Friendly reminder to update these on Apple Podcast, thank you ❤

The NBA , for example, would probably know what to do with the Sir LH last year at Merc and make it a win/win, it's looking like a lose/lose or a fallow season or missed opportunity at least, good point from Cam and PW.

Peter Windsor not trying to mention AD21 challenge (impossible)

I love Peter insights on F1. But he is stuck on AD 21 more than LH

It must be very difficult to drive like Max otherwise everyone could do it.

Ok I'm half and half with Peter on the turn one incident. I agree with him that it was the right move for Lando to make to stay on the outside and try and take that position, but I disagree when he says Lewis would be "clean". Moving wide and edging people off the track on the outside is something Lewis has done throughout his career - it's one of his signature manoeuvres.

Hi Peter & Cameron, what about sprint Races in a new format. On Saturday teams will have a sprint qualy followed by a sprint race, and have team principals as drivers, only points available are constructors points. Sunday we have a normal F1 race with F1 drivers and only points on offer are Driver championship points. Now teams can focus on constructors tittle and f1 drivers can just race for themselves without being influenced by factory.

Always good to hear Peter's perspective. We don't always agree - who does - but he's got real depth of knowledge in Formula 1.

Cam and Peter together is spoiling us, all other F1 commentary now seems pointless 😂

Thank you Cameron, I concur with the deserved respect shown for Peter Windsor. I agree with 98% of his insights and 100% of his experience and credability in expressing that wisdom, especially making the F1 points system reward the best rather than moving towards giving everyone a Participant Ribbon and thinking that broadens the F1 You and Peter are a great combination.

As for the timing of the sprint race, it sits in the same time window as the Australian GP... If you want a sprint race AND qualifying on the same day, then you need tonhave the sprint at a time that allows teams to prepare again for the qualifying session

Tell me your thoughts about having points to 12 th place and the thought that will pave the way for 12:teams. Thanks

6:20 I thought I was tripping, but I thought I heard either Crofty or Jacques (I switch between feeds on the F1TV app) say 28000 in attendance. That had to be a mistake, right?! Surely, there were more people there.

Mercedes has been affected by personal leaving for other teams more than anyone else. And at the same time those people who left have improved other teams. Mercedes has still not got the handle on the ground effect style design. They will have to poach someone from another team most likely.

Re the Cam Peter collaboration and resultant mutual viewership boost is great. Their synergy, given the age gap, imo is a win/win situation in terms of mentoring and educating fresh young F1 fans in the round. Perfect bridge for the generation gaps. Kudos to both of you

Amazing content. Always got time for Camron & "The knowledge" Mr Peter Windsor.

30:50 is the most interesting part. Peter Windsor has sent 3 messages to Toto with no reply

Thanks for Peter!✅💯

Thank you gentlemen, as always, insightful!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👩🏻‍🦰💜

The Podcasts you do with Peter is more interesting than the whole shabang ,.......Cameron my favorite Poet !

Haven’t watched the interview yet, but there’s an S missing from the thumbnail Disrespect. 💜 Looking forward to watching.

Thank you, Cameron, for giving Peter the opportunity to share his F1 wisdom. I never miss an episode. Windsor’s insight is unequaled.❤

For Aston Martin we cannot do anything, ARAMCO and the other hand might have something to say. If AM would have a decent driver next to Alonso now could be ahead of Mercedes.

Toto has a 33% ownership. He ain't going nowhere

great interview thx

Having a local driver used to be common in South Africa - John Love, Dave Charlton, Syd van der Vyfer et al

Why? He made a mess of the last 2,5 years

Thanks Peter Max ddnt have the fasted car when he drive for Torro Rosso and was stil fast

🔥 collab always

What a great guest Peter is!! 👍 And I love his comments on the Driver of the Day! Of course it's Max because he was perfect!

Please!!! Upload all of these to your audio platforms (Spotify, podcast whatever network). I would love to just listen to this stuff while I’m at work. Yes I know I can do that with YT but YT drains my phones battery like a mother…..

agree with the driver of the day comment.

Well said peter. You took the words right out of my mouth, re. the sprint races. I don't see the point of them either.

I noticed before the race 🏁, there's a man 👨 sitting in a chair in front of the merc, says enough 😳 for me ❤❤❤

I'm sure you can give drivers like Sainz and Leclerc team orders. In Basketball they say the best ability is availability. In racing, still being available with your car after turn 1 i guess ranks quite highly. At Ferrari, I'm sure you could force a survival clause - make sure you're still both racing at lap 2. For 3rd drivers - why not make the top 5 teams push local talent in the sprint races?

Exactly, Peter! 39:04

I'm not a fan of the sprint races. Having said that, I see how it brings a bit more excitement to a race weekend. But... The latest iteration of the sprint weekend leaves a lot to be desired. Having the qualifying for the main race just 2hrs after the sprint race is ridiculous. Think about it, if 2 teams were on even points with the championship deciding race falling on a sprint weekend, one of those csrs goes into the wall during the sprint race with no chance of rebuilding it in 2hrs, there goes qualifying, they start 20th on the grid, bye bye championship and for what? Spectator value....

There were a little over 600k live US viewers of the Chinese G.P; a country with 330,000,000+ people. On the east coast, the race was on at 2:55 am, which would be 8:55am in Europe. I joined a yt "watchalong". It'll be on ABC for Miami and the viewership should be at least 2 million.

First time watching, that was a very good podcast, no mucking about trying to be funny, just string opinions where the interviewer and interviewee have a conversation.

Extending the points seems like a good call

13:30 If Peter Windsor says it? 👏👏

I notice a pattern of team bosses at the cusp success, suddenly starting to say that the team is not dependent on certain individuals, but the team as a whole is the reason for the success. They then stop valuing key people, and those key people feel neglected, and then leave to another team. Their departure is then dismissed as unimportant, but they leave a hole that the boss, consumed by his own brilliance in creating this successful team, disregards, and pretty soon holes appear throughout the organization, because the importance of the virtuoso designer/engineer/driver is not recognized. I might be wrong, but I have noticed a pattern there. Before Mclaren's massive slump, Ron Dennis dismissed Adrian Newey leaving saying that the car is built and designed by a team and not one individual....well they really struggled after that, and we all see the success of Red Bull. A lot of talent has also left Mercedes, and they are struggling. If crucial people get offers from other teams, you should match or better the offer. People are always the greatest asset of an organization. If you forget that you are heading downhill.

"He just turned in on me man"....Lewis is the king of grey areas Peter.

Peter needs to stop mentioning abu dhabi 2021 and things being "put right". He needs to remember that there was still a racing lap after the decision to let those from cars unlap themselves. If they would have not been allowed to unlap there still would have been a racing lap. You can't change a race order in that situation. Only if it finished under a safety car would that even have a chance of making sense

another great broadcast..

I have always found the Birmingham accent to be rather depressing and that has not changed, but it cannot be denied Cameron posed some excellent questions to Peter. As one would expect, Peter's answers were informative, logical and very well considered. An interesting and entertaining video. Cameron is making moves and is clearly hear to stay in this space. Well done all around.

I think in every industry or sport the CEO should change jobs or position within a company after x years (probably max 10 years). Eventually you stuck within your own points of views, and have the same vision as always. It is inevitable that you dont stay that focused and eager as when you started and build the team up with all the success. The edges or slowly of it. It should be a natural thing, and not only Toto. It is applicable for everyone, being the CEO of Coca Cola, Apple, or Mercedes AMG F1 or Redbull F1. Toto should move into an advisory or board role (like Niki Lauda had or Marko has). Toto is with the team since 2012/13? It should be a natural evolution of your role within the team. But anyway, every company decide itself how and what. But same with Christian Horner, also should move to a more advisory role.

bro digresses more than the amount of breaths i take during the day ☠☠☠

For the European audience you’re watching a few races in the early hours of the morning. Down under we’re watching almost of them in the early hours, you got it good.

Sprint race is way more interesting than Free practice

37:36 Considering how they have relied on Lewis for positivity and boosting morale but now he’s leaving they want to preemptively discard him. Disgraceful

There isn’t a duo in existence that I’d rather hear discuss this sport.

BTW the solution to the sprint format me and my friends already solved years ago. There should be an identical spec class of cars different than say F2, F3 etc. Say formula Ford, something easy and cheap. It's a mini race series within F1 that all the drivers take part in throughout the year. That way we solve the biggest part of F1 in the best drivers never being on equal equipment. It's the only way it can happen legally. If it was a separate series apart from F1 then the drivers contracts would never allow them to jump around to different teams.

You too together make some great content. Cam you are right with celebrating your employees.

Two of my favorite Dudes and I cab barely HEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The missed opportunities you two go over arund the 38th minute, are interesting. These are a couple F1 fans on RU-vid, coming up with brilliant ideas on the fly that would elevate the stock and faith people have in the team that ide argue at least 1/3 of F1 fans adore. Now these are two of the greatest minds in the field, here on YT not to take anything away of the two were listening to, (there's a reason in the thousands of channels these are the two that I don't miss. Your opinions are coveted.) But it is interesting isn't it? I think it shines a light on what the 2/3 of folks that arnt high on Mercedes and compare them to the "Evil Empire" what they probably feel and reinforces their narrative. I'm not a huge LH fan, but no man can take away from the Lion that driver has been over the life of his career. Given the car that could get the job done, who among us wouldn't love to see him and MV1 battle it out again?! Sorry this is so long winded, but this whole thing over with my guy Horner jas really taken the wind out of my sails. I've been spending more and more time with LcLaren now. I think if Newey found his way over there. Ide follow.

Peter, please try James Alison instead. For mw, Toto should have gone for the services of someone who was designing the GE cars back then with Newey.

LOL - Following on Peter WRT to Lance in tennis, you get John McEnroe who not only yells at the line judges, but also yells at the net for being too high.😦😦 Of course, John McEnroe was XLNT.

Hopefully the Gems of this video will be heard and considered.

It looks like Mercedes is falling into the Ferrari downfall pit. The comparison to the post Schumacher post Ferrari downfall is there for all of us to see.

Reverse Grid would widen the gap, the better cars would get let through more easily

Rarely that I disagree with you and Peter Windsor but I strongly disagree on the points to 12th issue. Increasing the number of points paying positions will actually push us further towards meritocracy imo. At the moment, the bottom 5 teams rely on one of the top 10 drivers having some kind of mishap to score points. An equally good driver in a bottom 5 team could score 0 points or up to 4+ points depending on the (mis)fortune of others, which really isn't what should decide where teams and drivers finish in the championship. Sure, you cannot eliminate benefitting from the misfortune and mistakes of others, but now there's something to fight for and be rewarded by when you finish at the top of the bottom 10, so good driving is better rewarded. This isn't a spec series so I don't see how this is rewarding mediocrity

Ham does push people wide, what are you talking about. Not in this instance, but Lewis isn’t that “clean”

Louis one of the cleanest drivers......are you having a laugh. How many times he pushed Nico wide was unbelievable.

So, only the race winner can be driver of the day? 21:29

Is it Lance or his Dad that is the driving force on this Aston endeavor? it doesn't seem that easy to decipher.

I have already uploaded the SF app in prep for 2025.

Is the peanut M&M’s thing that Lewis tweeted about real or is he winding everyone up do you reckon?

That comment @ 30:00 from Peter is very telling (very IMO) Again in my opinion Lewis has made a very shrewd move in going to Ferrari.

Adrian Newey + Christian Horner = One Colin Chapman

0 seconds ago How does Peter say LH is a clean driver? Tell that to Albon, tell him twice, tell Piastri, Rosberg, Alonso and everyone else Hamilton has had to fight with. Sure he apologises now and again when prudent. Not many clean drivers in F1 but don't say Hamilton is clean. I supported Hamilton for years and enjoyed his time at Mercedes eventually but I never thought he was a clean driver or that he wouldnt run someone off the track. Now I know why people go 9n about British Bias

Algorithm boost comment lets goooooooo cameron. How many people are watching the vi..... IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE WATCH

Mercedes hasn't adapted to the cost cap. Before the cap they had the best powerplant and could outspend every other team by untold millions.

Lmao, peter i love you man.... but to say lewis is one.of the cleanest drivers in history is ludacris. 😂😂😂

Let’s see if the upcoming Mercedes upgrade actually works …

Its a rare occurrence occurrence, hut I disagree with Peter regarding Lance.
