Peter Windsor: "This is What Makes Max Verstappen Special!" | The F1 Hour

​In this interview with @peterwindsor on the F1 Hour Peter talks about what makes Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton special in terns of their driving technique, why the beauty of F1 is more than just blood and guts overtaking and why Netflix's 'Drive To Survive' has only scratched the surface when it comes to telling the F1 Story, Charles LeClerc's problem at Ferrari and what he needs to do to fix it, Lewis Hamilton finding his feet in the new W14B Mercedes, and will Mercedes be able to catch Red Bull anytime soon?

Always, and I too want to see what Ferrari's sparkplugs look like. Peter makes the point about F1 being an engineering sport beautifully. I grew up in racing and never really enjoyed spec series. I always enjoyed putting people in their place when they said that this, or that fighter plane was the height of technology, Its always been F1.

Peter is right, if you think this season is boring then you dont understand F1.. which means if you cant see the brilliance of max then you have no clue about racing

[@pranc236]

Totally agree

[@stevenst6337]

Along with Lewis and Fernando. All three of them are driving to the best of their abilities pushing the maximum out of the car. It’ll be a long time before there is drivers as good as these three, the new generation aside from Max just doesn’t have it like these guys.

[@DefenderOfLogic]

The problem is the double standard that Max stans have when it comes to Max. During Hamilton's reign, "it's the car." All of a sudden "it's the car" does not apply to Max. Just be consistent.

@@DefenderOfLogic there’s a lot of Max fans such as myself that can admit it’s the car. Not good to bottle all us all up as the same person. There’s prob millions of Verstappen fans across the world lol just the majority of people on social media are trolls so most fan bases get a bad look.

[@mavadelo]

​@@jacobs-pc8tn Problem the first years was not just the Renault engine but the fact that Newey had taken a back seat in the design process. He got more involved again when Honda entered the picture with the results we see now. I am a Max fan but I am very well aware his car is currently next level. In the right equipment, both Lewis and Alonso and probably Leclerc if he stops being so nice to his team, can compete with Max. He is an ace driver, not the Flash.

Dutch Verstappen fan here: I'm not a fan of Lewis' public persona. It comes across as fake/disingenuous. But the man can DRIVE! absolute legend. I'm a big fan of his racing skills. Top 5 of all time. Now I'm a fan of Max and I hope he will win every championship until he retired but I'm not really big on HIS personality either. I respect it a lot since he is a typical Dutch guy who says things how they are without sugarcoating it but it's not much more than just a nice direct guy. Again: his DRIVING however? Legendary

[@jamtalawah2231]

Hope Max never let the PR people change his style. Lewis was very reticent too in the beginning, but people said he was arrogant and need to be more forthcoming. He tries to do this now and people say he is fake. Guess he can't please everyone so now he pleases himself.

Totally on point. F1 is about those rare moments of greatness, those rare champion battles. That's what makes it special; the fact it doesn't happen every year or every race. Also it's about the technical battles between teams. Like, "Is this the upgrade, that will bring Alonso or Hamilton right up to Max? It's a great sport, it doesn't need a lot of change.

[@igctci6834]

I don't comment on many videos, but the combination of Peter and Cameron, is surely one of the best driver pairings on the F1 commentator grid! Well done guys, and please keep it up!

[@stevenst6337]

Max is absolutely on the level of greatest drivers in this sport. But the beauty of this sport is you can make arguements for a lot of drivers to be considered goat status. Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton, Prost, Jim Clark, Fangio, Verstappen, Alonso, Vettel, Lauda, ect. If you’re a fan of any of those drivers you can easily make an arguement for them being goat, and that’s the fun of it.

[@michaeldellorso889]

Seb GOAT? That’s going too far lol

[@jaysuneakle]

​@@michaeldellorso889there was a brief period where Vettel was unbelievably fast and consistent matching the fantastic car that he had. Everyone has their peak time. His peak was very, very good. I don't believe it was just his car. It was his ability to drive that era of cars extremely well and perhaps not drive other eras as well.

[@jaysuneakle]

[@michaeldellorso889]

@@jaysuneakle no question Seb was a fantastic driver. Personally, I don’t ever think he was better than Lewis or Nando. That said, he has no GOAT case.

[@TheBazino]

Sorry, disagree. GOAT is the one who won the most, had the best win percentage, etc. I love Alonso, I'm Austrian so naturally I'm a big Lauda fan, but Hamilton is the GOAT at the moment (and I don't really like him) and Verstappen will very likely pass him to be the new GOAT. The whole discussion of "talent" is useless, because if someone had so much talent, why didn't he win more? Verstappen won races before he sat in the Red Bull. And Perez sits in the same car and is useless in most races, so it's clearly not just the car either.

[@VicCross]

If you aren't as invested in what tires teams are using and how many stops they will need, you are missing a huge part of the fun of formula 1 LOL. The technical and strategic aspect is why we love the sport..

[@Ellen1600]

[@njgrplr2007]

I was hooked on F1 through Drive to Survive and my opinion is that it's only gotten better. In particular, I love the strategy, technological innovation, qualifying protocol, race presentation (with data) and overtaking. I also feel like I'm privileged to watch an absolutely amazing driver in Max Verstappen. As for the behind the scenes drama, I couldn't care less.

[@Aeytje]

Very astute and sound reasoning by Mr Windsor as usual. If you are a Real F-1 fan, you'll appreciate more than just one driver. i am a Max fan but i am also a Lewis fan, a Charles fan, and an Alonso fan. That is it. Those guys get a deep bow of respect from me.

It's a fine day when a new video lands in your feed And a great day when an episode of The Shakedown hits too. And a splendid day when Peter Windsor is your guest. Thank you! 8:00 - 12:00: My indescribably unexpected interest in Formula 1 sprang from (after much procrastinating) binging the first four seasons of Drive to Survive. I guess that puts me in the "Netflix generation" ... in my dotage! But what the series made me appreciate was some of what Peter refers to: especially the excitement of contests and struggles other than among the front runners. It seemed to me that even Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen didn't arrive center stage until well into the series. Admittedly, when it brought the misery of Williams pre-Doriton to the fore it neglected the context -- the legendary history of that team and of Frank Williams and Patrick Head, but that was enough to provoke my curiosity. It certainly made clear through the Haas narrative how much the sport was about big money. And it also made clear that there was plenty of political posturing and mind-f#*king going on between principals and a lot of controversy about the decisions of the race manager and stewards. I don't think one can lay at the feet of DTS the whin(g)ing from "fans" about how "boring" it is that Max/RedBull is having so far a brilliant year: even a cursory scan at the comments that show up on your and Peter's videos make clear that there's a large cadre of folks who mostly care about the object of their affections winning the World Driver's Championship and -- seemingly -- little else. (My favorite tinfoil-hat comments have to do with RedBull deliberately sabotaging Sergio Perez. It's equally telling to read the many comments on Peter's videos complaining about his British bias when he can create a whole video celebrating Max's driving technique.) I sense a lot of "fans" are mostly interested in maximum carnage (a/k/a maximum overtakes?). Like Peter, I would love to get to hear Zak Brown pitch to Wall Street investors (or hear Toto Wolff at a Daimler Board meeting); I think a majority of "fans" would either howl or snore. As for the fascinating cutting-edge technical developments, I think Liberty deserves credit for at least having an ongoing (watch "Mr. Wizard" like) series in their KZbin feed. Likewise the history and "inside baseball" elements of the sport which, I think, are really well represented in Beyond the Grid interviews.

@paulstephanouk7504 I didn't mean to come off as a snob or gatekeeper, but as a citizen of the USA it is very rare for me to meet other people with any knowledge or understanding of F1. Prior to the internet, the primary source of race reports and technical info I had access to was Road & Track magazine. It was a very good day when the magazine arrived with the latest news and results that happened a month or more ago. For me the internet is a great resource and of course for others wishing to follow the sport.

[@tmsmqwx]

I am definitely one who came to F1 via Netflix, but I've stayed for the rest. I recently discovered Peter's channel, and I've finally found what I need to really enjoy F1: real analysis instead of these pseudo-pundits heaping criticism on Perez without telling us WHY Verstappen is so much better in the same car - other than Checo must be having psychological problems - how ridiculous. Also, I don't think Verstappen's dominance is boring in the least - especially now that I've found someone to explain it - thanks, Peter!

Great interview, thank you. Peter Windsor provides better insights and experiences than any other F1 source, individually or collectively.

Thank you Hoof 🙏🏾 Peter is incredible right? I've got so much time for that guy

Peter is amazing, but I advice you to also watch BrrakeF1. Blake is a former RB-engineer who does an excellent job at dissecting the races from a telemetry and raw technical point of view.

after all of peter's explanation I look at the next race with different eyes! i would like it if peter reports live from the F1 races he is the only one who doesn't talk nonsense.

[@jamesoshea580]

You've both gained a subscriber from this. I saw a comment the other day that said something like 'all the cars should be the same', I replied saying "are you not a fan of racing?" They replied 'yeah I've been watching F1 for 25 years blah blah blah' I knew instantly that they were only a fan of drivers or teams and not a fan of the things that are unique to F1 and make it such a great series in racing.

[@CameronF1.]

Appreciate the kind words sir. Welcome aboard. All credit due to PW for this interview. Chap is ridiculously brilliant

[@terencevangaalen4127]

I'm with Peter. I do not like the budget cap to begin with. I want to see F1 as the pinnacle of race cars. I want to see what they can make limited by technology possibilities, not limited by money spent. In football I would agree with a cap. The best players will deliver the same quality. F1... we're missing out.

[@c.l.8213]

I'm new to F1 and for me it's been difficult to really figure out what drivers do differently from each other. The way Mr. Windsor explains it makes quite a lot of sense to me, and I'll try to notice it myself from now on! It will definitely make watching F1 more interesting if I can see the not-so-small small things :)

Netflix should give Peter a contract to tell and explain the Drive to Survive generation of the necessary backgrounds / techniques / stories from the past etc... Then I think I'll give that DTS another chance ;-)

[@banja9172]

Couldn't get past half season 1 of DTS.

[@robertheymann5906]

Hasn't F1 historically been about car construction? Not so much driver vs. driver but Ferrari vs. Williams vs. McLaren vs. Lotus etc. A technical battlefield of the best engineers on the planet

[@ToneGuruLA]

Drive to Survive rocks! They do what they do brilliantly. They are not catering to Peter. And more to the point, they can't elegantly be all things F1 to all people. For the casual fan, they provide a great show and a great service. If I want more insight, a broader view.... I come to Peter for that 🙂 Perhaps Drive to Survive tech series, and also a biz series.... that too would be great. A big ask as it is. PS. Great show thanks Cam.

[@ramborabbit9590]

Max I think is the pioneer of what’s happening to the future of F1. Drivers have been getting younger and younger.. originally you were like late 20s, and 30s before you started racing. Since he started at SEVENTEEN, it’s truly inspiring..

[@CameronF1.]

He's onto something right. Got so much time for PW

[@Renzsu]

@@CameronF1. Definitely, it’s about talent and success in all its aspects, from the racecraft, to engineering, management and business side of the sport. We as fans could benefit of more in depth analysis and frankly, education, on what makes a driver special, what goes on in the minds of brilliant engineers, and how to keep the circus running like a well oiled machine (and of course, try to find out what happens when those things break down).

[@JohnKuhles1966]

"Car concerns" were RARELY discussed by British mainstream media & sport presenters when Lewis was dominating for years! The moment it became obvious that Max has a better car, all of a sudden they can not stop whining about it ... What a HYPOCRITES!

[@hideouspatje]

To be fair merc could only use DAS for one season... so there were car concerns with merc too.....

Peter hit on something ive been thinking about as an idea for awhile. A drive to survive spinoff that focuses on the F1 arms races. They could highlight Adrian Newey, Dan Fallow, etc. They could release it during the summer break to keep the diehards occupied! I really should be an F1 junior exec....i have tons of good ideas like these but dont post them on youtube comments cause I know some ivy league brat who works for F1 will steal my million dollar ideas and become the next Bernie Ecclestone

[@crizelvanderschyff6625]

[@hello456able]

We want to see the best win and that’s Max and red bull not boring at all Novak wins a lot because he is one of the best I have no problem with that

[@Arsenic71]

DRS has become too dominant, for the first time I agree with Peter. Overtaking is MEANT TO BE DIFFICULT, but it's become trivial really. And Max isn't on the way to greatness, he already *IS* great. Did you miss the Monaco qualifying?

[@Doom1981]

If you look at other motorsports, there is the genius driver who dominates, that's it. In F1 you have the drivers, the engineers, the engine guy, the aerodynamics expert and so on, many many potential geniuses who make significant contributions to the success without ever touching the driving wheel

[@KS-qf1pn]

I agree with Peter Windsor, myself being a F1 follower for over 30 years, in that drivers come and go, and if you follow the sport because you like a specific driver, you will get disappointed at some stage. I was a huge Senna supporter, but I had to change my perspective following his death. IMO support ALL drivers, and learn to appreciate all aspects of the sport, especially the “tech arms race” for the most superior car. ONLY with decent cars can the best drivers be able to take the competition to the next level like Lewis and Max and Alonso is currently. Having said all that, just look and appreciate what Alex Albon achieved in Canada with his P7..! , and James Vowles trying to revamp the old Williams team..it’s amazing. F1 is great spectacle measured in million’s of $’s and in milliseconds, with the very best engineers and drivers pitted against each other.. Finally I believe all the fans now complaining about a boring F1 scene are hypocritical since we all had to sit and watch 7 years of domination by MB and Lewis Hamilton, now standing at 103 victories.. this is supporting my position that F1 supporters should learn to appreciate all aspects the sport, and appreciate EVERY single driver..

[@givemeabreak8784]

I think Ferrari tried a race set up with a long stint on mediums in mind. Obviously that will make the car more draggy loosing top speed on the straights but good on the corners avoiding the slids conserving the tyres.

[@sw1786]

A question to peter: How did both Merc drivers go into Raskas Corner in Monaco Q3? Aston Martin was as slow as Mercedes in Q3. So I think it's matter of Max skills and the car.

[@Cloxxki]

It would be epic to have an end of season quali session where drivers do set a serious time, and then all swap randomly, and once to a fan favourite car to swap to. Work with the other engineer and try and match the usual driver set. And why not also a 10-lap stint challenge as well? They're driven at the same time, and then all get to compare fairly. How is Max in the Williams or Haas? How's Hulk in the Mercedes? How's Leclerc (it's pronounced le Claire) in a Red Bull?
