They were drawn into the closing laps with different teams, in different cars, via different strategies. With 15 laps to run, though, it was never closer: only five seconds covered George Russell (Mercedes), Max Verstappen (Red Bull-Honda) and Kimi Antonelli in the other Mercedes. Then came the two McLaren-Mercedes of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Nothing seemed certain...until... In this podcast, Peter Windsor talks about the build-up to the finale and about what happened in the closing minutes of the Pirelli-sponsored Canadian GP on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Peter's well fired-up in this episode - partly because Cameron, nice guy that he is, likes to wind up PW on the Mondays after a GP (in this case Canada) and partly because, for different reasons, and by different factions, the characters of two of F1's truest people - Lando Norris and Derek Warwick - have been called into question. Peter in this episode vehemently defends both of them. This podcast, in other words, features lots of McLaren and Red Bull chat - plus some Mercedes, Ferrari and Aston Martin observations for good measure. A decaf, while listening, will suffice.

Join Peter Windsor live as we look back at a turbulent Spanish GP (and its repercussions) - and ahead to this weekend's Canadian GP at Montreal's gorgeous Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Questions, as ever, cover the full gamut of motor racing folklore - from what made Adelaide a great venue for the F1 season finale to whether or not Fangio is under-rated by today's F1 community. Peter's intro includes a tribute to the brilliant French journalist, Eric Bhat; a review of the 2026 F1 calendar; and a look back at last weekend's spectacular Rally Italia Sardegna

Re-live a dramatic - and pivotal - Spanish GP as it unfolded from Friday through to Sunday. The race resulted in yet another one-two finish for McLaren-Mercedes but will be remembered for the fireworks in the closing laps, after a Safety Car deployment. Charles Leclerc eventually finished third for Ferrari, ahead of Mercedes' George Russell, Nico Hulkenberg (Sauber-Ferrari), Sir Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) and Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls-Honda). After driving brilliantly in pursuit of the McLarens for much of the race, Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen was demoted to P10 after a late-race collision with Russell.

No shortage of content here, whether it be McLaren-Mercedes brushing aside the new FIA wing tests to score another, devastating one-two finish in the Spanish GP; or Max Verstappen driving brilliantly through to the Safety Car deployment with six laps to go; or Max and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc colliding at 308kph; or Red Bull blowing Max's race with three bad calls (not keeping him out there, leading the race behind the SC, fitting hard Pirellis and needlessly telling Max to give position back to George Russell); or Max, exploding, deliberately t-boning Russell's Mercedes and incurring a ten-second penalty. So settle back, keep the espressos brewing...and enjoy.

Peter begins this post-Monaco livestream with his original idea of how to improve the great race without changing the cars, the famous circuit or its established format. He then takes questions and comments from listeners over a wide variety of subjects, ranging from "what is going on at Ferrari?" to "how good was Olivier Gendebien?" Download, listen and enjoy.

The Peter/Cameron post-Monaco, Monday-morning chat naturally revolves around the boredom of Sunday's race; the changing world of Lando Norris; the turbulence at Ferrari; ways in which we can fix the Monaco GP; and ongoing prospects for this weekend's Spanish GP. Time, in other words, for some more Pergamino coffee...

It all happened in qualifying at Monaco - the more so because the new two-pit-stop rule for 2025 also nullified the drivers' ability to manage (or not) the Pirelli tyres. Thus it was a jubilant Lando Norris who won his first Monaco GP, ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, Lando's team-mate, Oscar Piastri and Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen. Sir Lewis Hamilton, who had incurred a three-place grid penalty for impeding, was a distant fifth for Ferrari, ahead of the excellent Racing Bulls-Honda of Isack Hadjar. Join Peter as the action begins on Friday
