2024 F1 Qatar GP Sunday by Peter Windsor

Russel playing rat games outside of the track. Max hated his two faced hypocrisy. Told George: I'll take back the position in Turn 1. And he did. What an absolute legend.

I always look forward to Peter's analysis; he's kind, fair, supports the sport and the drivers who deserve support and calls out people who deserve to be called out. He also brings the history of the sport to life, for those of us who might have missed it. Thank you, Peter.

[@RaamiKala]

You hit the nail on the head that time! If there's anybody in F1 I'd love to have a weekly round of golf followed by a couple beers it would be Peter. His stories are golden. It feels like he's met everyone that's raced in the last 50 years, and his unique insights are a treasure.

[@spoon072000]

He said he’s an “old fogie”. Not really. Peter has experience and wisdom. That’s precious these days. Peter’s analysis is almost always spot on. Unfortunately, the stewards, despite their F1 experience, lack Peter’s common sense.

[@PeterPost-w8m]

[@45oldies10]

Well Peter, If Verstappen noticed the yellow on the straight, then there was no excuse for Lando not to spot it. Verstappen even said on the radio Norris was speeding under yellow. No excuse whatsoever for speeding under yellow and the penalty was according to the rules.

[@fhwolthuis]

You should watch the presser, Max burned backstabber George 😂

[@bensynewsshoedown4999]

All in response to a question from The Telegraaf.

[@tonvandervelden4190]

Mostly agree with your analysis except for one issue: Lando did not drop speed at the first yellow flag (Max noted that immediately) and the fuzz with the green, yellow happened after Lando's error. In my opinion was the penalty justified .

[@Zoom15000]

The way the stewards/race director/FIA handled the mirror situation was completely ridiculous, but there is no excuse for Lando regarding his penalty. The rules are there and are - in this case - as clear as day. He failed to spot both the light and the double waved flags which meant he had to lift off, and the penalty for not lifting off is a stop and go penalty. An unfortunate mistake, but a mistake nonetheless and so he had to face the penalty for it.

[@wreagfe]

It was so clear as day that Max had to report it and it took the stewards HOW MANY laps to finally make a decision?

[@GTE_Channel]

​@@wreagfe that's the worst thing. Stewards should see this themselves, and don't have to rely on snitches .

[@Zoom15000]

​@@wreagfeI said the RULES are clear as day, which is that failing to slow down for double waved yellows result in a time penalty. Whether you think the rule should exist or not is a separate matter, but the fact is those are the rules, as acknowledged by Norris and McLaren themselves. Also acknowledged by Norris and McLaren is that he failed to come off the throttle for those double waved yellows and thus broke the rules that exist. For breaking those rules there is a defined penalty which Lando received. McLaren (and Sky Sports) don't like the rule as it is written, and think there should be more flexibility and circumstances should come into it, which is absolutely a reasonable view to have, but they acknowledge that right now the rule exists as it does and there can be no complaint. It was a silly and unnecessary mistake for Lando to make.

[@MrArchie800]

You could possibly forgive Norris for not spotting the lights as they were not working properly, nor were they working on his wheel indicator - another FIA screw-up (the Sky feed actually showed a different lap to the one that Norris was penalised for). But yes he did miss the actual waved flags, which is on him. Not so clear cut considering others have had lesser penalties for similar infringements within last couple of years. Was penalty deserved? Yes. Was the penalty consistent with previous infringements? No (which is what really infuriates us fans!).

[@Zoom15000]

​@@MrArchie800consistency is always a frustrating issue in any sport. In the case of Lando's penalty you would think given there is a fixed rule, and a fixed penalty, regarding slowing through double waved yellows that this would be something they could get right 100% of the time.

[@RobertMacCready]

Sometimes the racing gods throw in a fix, that is needed. Raceboy Russell spent about 10 seconds in 1st place. Well deserved.

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

I think it was more like 2 seconds, just enough time to blink my eyes and found max ahead.

[@0fwRs]

Raceboy Russell is crazy 😂

[@wreagfe]

Fully agreed Peter. People underestimate the consistency and resistance to stress Max conveyed being continuously 1.8-2.3 seconds ahead. Many others that we consider elite talents (Charles, Lando) have made mistakes in those situations. Max is simply flawless in those situations. Amazin'!

[@Supsyfy]

@@wreagfe that is what I felt as well several times from 2021 onwards. However, other drivers were also comfortable in that range this race. I miss the old F1 cars when they could attack all the time. A pass felt like a pass back then

[@ChristopherZarate-g1s]

Max showed BinRussel’s true color, a weak clown.

[@wreagfe]

GR has shown this side before. It's a weird kind of backstabbing and frontstabbing that isn't going to work well for him in the long run.

[@jvdduyn]

All hail Max

[@dSlayer6160]

Hail Hail Hail!

[@janvisser4132]

I saw an interview with Max after the race, and he was very negative about George, without using his name. Pretty much called him a two-faced hypocrite who behaves totally differently before the camera than behind the screens, and that he was just blowing up that situation in an attempt to get Max a penalty. He said he cannot respect George anymore. I have never seen Max talk about another driver like that, I would love to have been a fly on the wall in that stewarts office. Max has a lot of flaws, but he tends to be brutally honest. And he holds a grudge, I wouldn't want to be in Russel's shoes now.

[@jaapongeveer6203]

He's brutally honest because he's Dutch and that is how we Dutch are. Tell it like it is!

[@Hellstorm616]

Just a note on the restart.... Max was confused as the safety car lights weren't working. He couldn't get a clear answer so wasn't sure if to go or not hence Lando getting close to him.

[@wreagfe]

Lando still got it. No troubles there as drivers with race IQ go well together and respect the craft and each other. I have a suspicion this wouldn't have gone well with George at all.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

@@wreagfe Wrong. Exactly the opposite. Means Lando doesn't have it and never had it. The lights on the safety car are there for safety. Norris does not care about safety, he only cares about screwing others over.

[@mikemelina7395]

One of the rare cases when I disagree with you Peter, Lando absolutely deserved to be penalized, Max lifted, everyone else on track lifted, only Lando flatfooted it through that safety zone and past a solid yellow light and two yellow flags that were hanging out into the track. Also, you failed to mention that Charles is now within 8 points of surpassing Lando for P2 in the championship, which is more likely to happen than Ferrari surpassing McLaren for the Constructors.

[@sbGOM]

Um. We don't know "everyone else lifted" because the FIA only looked at Lando after Max/Red Bull brought it to the race directors attention. Otherwise, I agree with you.

[@mcv-mnv]

Max's 1st corner take back and George's 7 second pitsop was just pure Karma.

[@DaFunkz]

One positive of the race is that the gravel traps certainly did their jobs. Prevented drivers from taking advantage of track limits as well as made for good self policing wheel to wheel racing.

True! Only Charles seems to know how to race Max, among his age group.

[@demon1gp]

A complete shambles by the FIA, all weekend IMO. What is actually going on with them?! We were robbed of a great second half of the race and it all stemmed from their hesitation over the discarded mirror from Albon's car. Max was outstanding, yet again.

[@declankerin5765]

Fernando was saying their software was thinking he was still behind the safety car and he wasn't getting full energy deployment on the restart.

[@sammyd976]

Landos penalty was 100% deserved. Double yellow you have to lift, he did none of that and used DRS he picked up from a back marker. At one point he was 70kph faster than Max during it because he liftiled all the way down the straight. Both Mazapin and Nico got the same penalty in seasons past.

[@RaamiKala]

Is that right? I didn't know. Do you happen to remember which races they got those penalties in?

[@joaovitorsilvagohl682]

Lando penalty was just after the mirror fell, Verstappen slowed down that is why the gap did go down from 1.8-.7 to 1.0. Max saw that asked gp and nando was penalized.

[@21wxz89]

Love your progam. As a long-term Canadian F1 fan, Lance Stroll again in this race shows he has no place in F1. He is a national disgrace.

[@Pedro285]

Come on Peter. Rules are rules and a double yellow requires the driver to lift .. slam dunk stupidity from Norris and appalling team work from the McLaren pit wall not to direct him. Weak as piss

[@stephanes.]

Karma is great!

[@remkojerphanion4686]

Why should Lando have been excused for not slowing under yellow? It's a clear cut rule, and Lando failed to abide by it. If you go too fast in the pit lane, you get penalized - it's the exact same thing. Stop looking for "mitigating circumstances" for Norris. Lando screwed up, simple as that.

[@martin.takawira1093]

I never miss your videos awesome awesome contribution Peter as always. Respectfully I wouldn’t say George was disparaging the Pirelli Hard tyre itself but the choice to go to the hard tyre

[@jackbauer8460]

Lovely review, Mr Windsor. You're the discovery of the week for me.

[@Supsyfy]

I respect Peter’s old school mentality regarding the penalty. Personally, I liked it because it did feel like Karma. But, if I was trying to be just and be consistent with current penalty standards, it should have been no penalty for Max and 5-10s penalty for Lando. But then, inconsistency is the only consistency we have from the stewards.

[@user-kh7zf]

Ignoring yellow flags is a serious safety breach, so I'm glad it was penalized seriously. People have died for those rules to be created, they should be taken seriously. The rules could probably use a little bit of leniency, but I wouldnt go lighter than a drivethrough. More than the penalty itself, it hurt Norris that he had to serve it after a safety car. And Lando had already gotten away with safety breaches in Austin.

[@berthobo3912]

It's not unjustified just becourse lando is english , is it ? 😅😅😅 clowns .

[@Maverick21491]

In this case there is actually a set penalty for ignoring double yellow. So for once the stewards did it right ( regardless of it feeling harsh , but feelings should never be a part in rulings )

[@NorbertJeske-r7r]

Norris did not slow down at a double yellow, hence the normal penalty is 10 seconds and drive through, as per the rule book! Rules are rules, you can’t have the cake and eat it! It was a big mistake from Norris end off!

[@myselfandeye3884]

What I like most about Max is that he's driving like he didn't just win his 4th title. If you didn't know any better you would think he was still fighting for the championship with the way he took the penalty personal and how he was defending. A lot of other drivers would've just let it go and relax knowing they already won the championship.

I do agree with the Lando penalty but the circumstances that allowed for it to happen was a full blown FIA mess, just pull out a vsc or safety car to neutralize the race and pick up the wing mirror, not only did it get Norris a penality, it gave both Lewis and Carlos a puncture and instead just picking up a large wing mirror, they had to sweep it off because Valteri ran into when being blue flagged, pussy footing from the FIA when maintaining a safe racing environment but trigger happy with penalties

Although the penalty was too harsh, Lando did destroy Max's well managed undercut window of almost 2 seconds, gaining some 0.6 seconds by not lifting when Max did lift at the double yellow. Of course Max was surpirsed and reported it. Lando suddenly was close to a DRS distance.

[@TatorTaco]

Max kept the gap where he was comfortable. When Lando got close keeping it flat out under double yellow, Max just out the gap right back to 2 seconds to avoid the undercut. The Max stretched it even more before pittinng. Max yet again shoving the FIA bigotry right down their throats. All while schooling George!

[@sokolum]

And no mentioning of that, it show how much extra overhead Max seems to have….. interesting for 2025

[@ariebroek2404]

Lando completely ignored a double yellow mind you. He kept full throttle the whole straight. I mean, you can’t ignore that. The penalty was too harsh no doubt. But ignoring a double yellow completely is always a penalty

[@dannyboy-vtc5741]

It's not too harsh, it's not getting an advantage leaving the track or something like that, it was a direct break of safety rules and procedures, the penalty is given in according to that, and lewis' penalty of drive thru the same, speeding in the pit lane, safety impediment.

Max's penalty was uncalled for, Lando's was cut and dry, but the punishment seemed excessive. I don't know if a 10s stop and go is mandatory though. It sucks that it nullified any drama at the end of the race, but you can't say he wasn't blatantly guilty. He went from 1.8 down to 1.1-1.2 on that straight and even the announcers clocked it immediately.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

Ignoring double-yellow has been a 10 second stop-and-go for a long, long time. Remember that the flags don't tell the drivers the situation but there could be things like people on track. Not lifting and hitting someone at 300+ km/h... Think about that. The penalty itself is light. Extremely light. And also do not forget that Norris totally ignored safety rules like the aborted start at Brazil without consequences.

Lando ignoring double yellow flag bro😅

Thank you Grand-master💯💯💯

[@2Fast4Mellow]

Verstappen's pole penalty was unjust, the penalty for Norris and Lewis were just, yet they should have been regular time penalties and not drive throughs. MBS fired the wrong people!

[@ciggy_]

lol they’re already here, the fan hivemind “actually I never liked George” “I never trusted him!” “Politician George!” Etc etc… You don’t have to mirror everything your favorite drivers says, being a fan is about supporting a driver. There’s like 2 comments here talking about how good max was and the rest are all complaining about the ethics and morality of George Russel…

[@joineralbert2493]

That's because Russell is a snake 🐍. Going back to the porpoising time when Mercedes in particular was having mega problems, remember old man Ham climbing out of the car, Russell was lying his head off complaining saying everybody was having problems, forcing the Fia to put out td 39 .......

Must have a grain of truth then, don't you think so?

[@pacificbob24]

Why has F1 had many problems with race directors since losing Charlie Whiting?

It would have taken 10 seconds to have a marshal run out and pick it up.

[@wreagfe]

Can't really do that without a saftey car.

At a 320 kph part of the circuit? No thanks. Peter's views are outdated on this.

[@mrkylerule]

Yup as peter said - lando is good to be behind Max. That’s right!

[@alfistibrasiliani]

11:20 ?? Peter, how much of an effort does pirelli make if they have the monopoly? lulz...I wish Michelin was the official tire supplier for F1...they make great tires for WEC

[@TassieLorenzo]

Michelin didn't tender. Bridgestone tendered (offered more money to FOM than Pirelli even) against Pirelli and were rejected. FOM choose Pirelli out of the Bridgestone and Pirelli tenders for 2025-2027.

[@geoffmacey8728]

There are several tracks where being second on the grid is more beneficial than pole as at Qatar second is on the inside so if you get alongside corner is yours same I think at COTA

[@landmanp]

Second place you are starting from the dirt.
