Peter Windsor: I Don't Understand How Hamilton Does It!

In this interview with ‪@peterwindsor‬ we discuss Lewis Hamilton's record breaking win at the British GP why the race was so emotional for Hamilton and fans of F1 globally, we discuss how Lewis Hamilton managed to hold off Max Verstappen in the latter stages of the Grand Prix on rapidly degrading soft tyres, and how has Hamilton managed to stay so great for so long. What is happening to Ferrari and why does Charles Leclerc keep making mistakes? Should Lando Norris and McLaren have put on medium compound tyres and did this mistake cost them the victory at the British Grand Prix, and why did they cost Oscar Piastri so much time? And what should Red Bull do about Sergio Checo Perez' performance who is no being outperformed by Hulkenberg in the Haas, and why did they extend his contract for a further two years? We discuss whether Daniel Ricciardo or Liam Lawson is most likely to replace Perez.

Hate me all you want, but I still think HAM is the only driver who can challenge Max all year round in an equal car. And I am talking about race craft, mind games, and everything else you need to do to win a championship. All others still need time to get there.

[@gegwen7440]

Make you right.

[@aurthersinha6973]

I think ur completely right. But I also think Charles can do that with Verstappen. They grew up racing together. Unlike Norris and them because they are a little younger. We have seen it before if max pushes Charles off track, Charles will do the same the next race.

I totally agree! Norris is shown himself to be weak. You can’t be mates with Max Verstappen and hope to beat Max Verstappen. It’s ridiculous and then apologising to Max; unbelievable!

[@paulbessell6154]

After Abu Dhabi, Lewis eventually decided to carry on racing with the words "..... while moments like this might define careers, I refuse to let this define mine." The following two years tested him time and time again - and all of us lived that with him. Thank goodness he can now put that to rest - for me, yesterday was his career defining moment for reasons that go way beyond that of the sport. It's to do with him as a man. I'm so happy for him - such a dignified man.

[@doreenmorris6556]

So well said. His father predicted that he would be "the most complete F1 driver" and he truly has live up to that! Truly one of the greatest sportsmen of all time, because he is such a well-balanced and dignified human being. Still humble and still grateful for the incredible gift and opportunity that he has been given. I wish him more!

After Abu Dhabi I think he decided to stay for the money and understood fia won't allow him to break the German record 😊

[@paulgrant5241]

What I loved about yesterday's Grand Prix was seeing Lewis Hamilton with his mother and father. The emotional moment when he broke down upon greeting his parents speaks volumes. It shows that before this race, Lewis was feeling very down, especially as he no longer has someone to turn to when his motivation and self-belief are low. This moment also highlights how much his family’s support means to him; their love can conquer anything. It's important to remember that Lewis might be feeling somewhat excluded now that he's leaving Mercedes, and the outpouring of emotion shows exactly what the 2021 season has done to him. Considering all this, it's understandable why he hasn't been at his best lately. But like the true champion he is, the cream always rises to the top.❤😊

[@kerrygalloway509]

Over 940 days since the 2021 Abu Dabi GP. Lots of hard work, terrible car, new teammate. Winning his home GP. That was a big win. Lewis is awesome and the GOAT. He stayed focused and motivated. You can imagine the doubts and soul searching. Lonely days and nights.

[@Andash75]

@BRMCaptChaos I’ve also been watching and following f1 avidly for 40 years, I eat, sleep, breathe and live f1. I’ve only missed a handful of races since ‘88 and I’ve attended 49 race weekends in 24 countries, I did Melbourne again this year and I live 15 mins from Albert Park where I have missed 1 race since 2003, I’m off in December to Qatar and 2 days later I’ll be in Abu Dhabi attending the final race for Lewis in his Mercedes, witnessing the end of an ‘Era’. I’ll obviously be in Melbourne for the first race of Lewis in the Scuderia, my son already has his LH44 Ferrari merch and I’m going to Jeddah, I want to see this spectacular compound in the middle of the desert, the Middle Eastern race events are second to only Sepang where I’ll 100% be in ‘26 when it’s back on the calendar thanks to Mercedes Benz and Petronas. It’s impossible to love f1 more it’s my priority after my kids and over my work which used to be BMW now Mercedes Benz Australia, where the perks are very nice at Albert Park and took me to Hockenhiem in 2019 the final race at the old historic Circuit. I’m immersed in f1. My son loves it as much as I do at 16, his favourite place is Suzuka and I won’t be able to top that for him, Japanese mad, loves the place, people, culture and technology. This December is his present for doing so well at school. We both balled our eyes out when we realised that Lewis had Max covered with 3-4 laps to go. What a moment. History was created, records written Omg I wish, being English that I was there at Silverstone, that atmosphere would’ve been the best experience ever, even in the rain and mud, no matter the price of the tickets, I would have paid 10 times more, if I’d known but my son called the win for Lewis before the race, little genius, the result put my son ahead of me and my friends in my f1 fantasy league. He won Bahrain and lead till Suzuka where I took the lead till now, we’re 300 points ahead of 3rd place and I knew he had me when George had the DNF. He spanks me on the Sim on f1 too. I taught him everything I know, racing lines, apex, brake in a straight line, smooth inputs on steering and pedals, at 13 he was quicker and I’ve spanked BMW M3’s & M5’s around Phillip Island among other places, I drove the first Mini in Australia 1 of the cars that was prepared for Albert Park for the celebrity race. Mercedes track days too. But Lewis what a man what a role model for young kids of today, Senna was my hero, I love Lewis above anyone else but he’s my Sons hero and he couldn’t have a better one as far as I’m concerned. The man, the legend, the greatest, the quickest, most decorated Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton. Considering this is so long, words actually fail me. Now Mercedes have given him a decent car that he likes, can drive and provides a certain level of confidence he’s going to be in the Mix for race wins for the rest of the season and is really the only man to really give it to Max with all things being equal. He’s gonna win in Budapest for the 9th time too. Bloody hell the UNDISPUTED GOAT of f1, but Senna is still “God’ of f1, but Lewis is ‘God’ for my son but that’s ok, cause he’s never seen Senna at Monaco or Suzuka but he sees Lewis writing history. And I even have blurry eyesight right now because his accomplishments will never be equaled so I hope Adrian goes to Ferrari to build him a Championship winning car for his 8th WDC again 👀💯👍🏼🤫

This, and I can't state this enough. Peter Windsor is always on point. I do to an extent understand the criticism levied at Lewis, especially this season. However, the mental baggage that Abu Dabi '21 would of caused, I can't even begin to fathom. How he has powered through is beyond me, how it didn't break him again is beyond me. As much as Sunday at Silverstone was quite the fairy tale experience for Lewis and Mercedes. I applaud Lewis post race for openly taking about the issues he has faced since '21.

[@egj1975]

Drivers like Lewis do not have some "mental bagage" after things like that. They take it and use it to get stronger. I am not a Lewis fan (Max all day long) but he is not the kind of driver that sits on something like that for years. It hurt him yes but that is it. Him doubting him self is the winless streak for almost 3 years. If anything it made him even stronger. If things like this keep you down you will never achieve anything.

[@BRMCaptChaos]

@@egj1975you can say that, but the sense of injustice was not his fault. That carries baggage that anyone would struggle with. His reaction post race evidenced it. To add, that doesn’t make it Max’s fault at all, and he must carry the baggage of ‘21 as well for different reasons. I’m just very happy we have superb professionals duking it out and this is now over.

Lewis Hamilton's victory on Sunday gave me goosebumps and after his reactions with the team and his family I had tears in my eyes and I am almost f***** 49 years old. This guy deserves the title Sir. In all his career he was a gentleman and even when the competition was fierce, he never went full asshole mode like Verstappen, Schumacher, Alonso and Senna and that is why he is the GOAT. This is a true comeback of a great sportsman. Also nice to see George Russell coming to his car. Even Helmut Marko showed him respect, I mean what else can you say! I wish him more wins for Mercedes in this season, because I think he is very thankful for what the Mercedes team, Toto and Niki (RIP) gave him. The last two season were hard for the team and LH and the 2021 final was and is a scandal. Loosing the title by human error aka Michael Masi and then sitting in a not competitive car for so long was hard to watch and on Sunday we could see and feel the relief. If Lewis wins the title they stole from him with Ferrari then Christian Horner should get a LH44 tattoo, that would be fun. I would love to see that! Horner could send pics of it (the tattoo)!

I’m sorry, but Peter is absolutely bonkers in this instance. I like Peter but to say keeping out Piastri and not double stacking him was right! Even I did the calculation in my head at the time; you can’t leave him out because he was gonna come way behind, stacking him, two seconds, leaving him out 10 seconds. What are we doing?

[@marksibley4546]

What a moment . Lewis was incredible all weekend great to see him get the W very emotional

[@dworkin7110]

I don't really agree with Peter here on the Lando tyre choice. There were several laps to go and the mediums seemed an obvious choice for Lando, it seemed likely the softs would have failed as the race came to a close which of course they did. It is possible this would have meant Lewis would have gotten too far ahead but at least he would have been able to fend off Max. The choice he was given, though, was largely correct but much more complex than it appeared.

[@ariebroek2404]

Lando himself said after the race that he took red because Lewis took them…but with hindsight knew there deg on red was high.

[@salim_abid_]

I disagree with the notion that putting Lando onto the softs wasn't a mistake, I am inclined to say that they planned for this exact scenario, They saved the mediums from earlier in the weekend and their mistake was how they handled it when they had the chance to use them. The radio call should have been clear cut "Box this lap, You'll be on the medium tyre, We've planned for this, Let's go win this race" Simple straight to the point, Confident etc

Sorry Peter Windsor i have to correct you on Hulkenberg. Max wanted him in the team but it was Red Bull who took Perez. And i know this for a fact.

[@AM-yk1vt]

Peters takes were off on this one. To argue that both Mclarens mistakes were the right decisions and he would have done the same is odd. Mclaren saw how the soft runners did at the beginning of the grand prix secondly they had a brand new medium which even the commentators were certain he was going to take so im at a loss as to how taking soft was a good idea. Not double stacking was a terrible idea in changing conditions because you lose so much over one lap. Max chose the exact right time to pit and just on that one lap was right back in it.

[@sanzieu]

SLH has showed us what a true champion he is. He does this because his family has given him the proper sense of responsibility towards the sport.

[@dariussatius1621]

Yup they said cover Lewis with softs or Max on mediums. This might of made Lando choose the softs, meaning he wanted to fight Lewis for the win as Max hadn’t shown good pace until then. I feel like McLarren and Lando were more afraid of the pace Lewis was showing and reacted to him

[@mark4motion68]

I don’t understand why they cover anybody. Just put on the best or fastest tire for that stint. McLaren has a lot to learn.

[@dariussatius1621]

@@mark4motion68 not quite, I understand what they wanted to do in fighting for the win. But had they told Lando just to pick between softs and mediums he might have picked mediums, but telling him the leader has softs most likely influenced him (not totally his fault since Max didn't show any pace until then, so Norris was looking at the race win, therefore at Hamilton)

[@rocket69218]

Everyone knows the McLaren isn't good on softs, we've seen it so many times where Lando is catching those in front on harder tyres. McLaren know this, they should have just put him on Mediums.

I disagree with Peter on quite a few things here. There were decisions being made in the race which I felt were wrong strongly at the time and Brundle was criticising them too, and they turned out to be the wrong decision. Leaving drivers out on the wrong tyre and betting on their skill is just nonsense. When the right tyre is 7 to 10 seconds per lap faster, no amount of skill can compensate for that and it's too big a gamble.

[@F2PGamesZone]

[@user-eo5zn4hq8s]

I hear what you're saying about the momentum at Red Bull and that being able to keep them competitive through the end of 25, but I disagree. There are two things happening this year that have changed the playing field. The most obvious is that other teams have improved their cars. The less obvious is that the Red Bull is not performing as well as it once did, and that downward trend began almost immediately after Red Bull announced that Newey would no longer be involved in the mechanical and engineering of the car, only race strategy decisions on the weekends. Horner can talk all he wants about how talented his total team is, and that's likely true. But I think they've relied completely on the once in a lifetime genius that is Adrian Newey, and I think it will be very difficult for them to recover from his loss.

[@Jigds]

McLaren team were reactive in their bad decisions rather than being upfront and assertive. Giving an irrational Lando tyre options instead of taking the right call didn't help them either. Oscar was robbed of a potential podium. Although they have the best car and great drivers, McLaren as a team is pretty average and mediocre. But all in all a fantastic race and immensely happy for Sir Lewis Hamilton finally winning a home race after 2.5 years. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

As a Max fan, i was over the moon for sir Lewis. I wanted him to win more than Max. Pure on merit, no safety car or any sort of luck. Absolute one of the greatest ever. Based on stats alone, no discussion the GOAT. I could see Max was genuinely thrilled for Lewis seeing him back where he belongs if he has a decent car.

[@dextercarrie8131]

I generally like Peter Windsor’s race analysis feedback and he was being kind and generous to all drivers as a class act as a lot of the stuff to talk about is hindsight theories and what ifs. I think Max had the option to choose between Hard and Soft and he chose hard and still performed incredible on the less stickier compound, while Lando followed Lewis on the Softs, when he would have been better on a medium option (Oscar’s recommendation) to have longevity over all out speed. One thing that Lando does to get everything out of his McLaren at Silverstone and Austria is he uses the wideness of the track’s breath to achieve his quick lap times, but comes off in advanced tire wear as he likes to throw in more speed, while Lewis has decent speed, but steering control and racing line is much narrower of his designated style of driving and usually has better consistency in lap times and less tire wear. Lewis is just the mature and experienced driver and Lando is still finding his wings. I think Lando has a lot to learn and grow as a driver and mean this in the most sincere and genuine way to wish him to figure it out.
