F1 Saudi Arabian GP Thursday analysis by Peter Windsor

- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2024
- Fernando! The Spanish Aston driver was P1 on Thursday in Jeddah - quickest of all in the Pirelli soft tyre (one-lap) runs in FP2. It was a slightly different story when fuel was added to the cars, and teams like Aston, Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari bolted on the yellow Pirelli mediums - but there's no doubt that the Alonso-Aston combination is looking head-on at a strong weekend. George Russell was his usual ultra-spectacular self on light fuel in the oversteery Mercedes - while Max Verstappen, on the softs, was P3 but convincingly quickest with fuel on board. Peter Windsor in this video offers his thoughts on the day's proceedings.

no gossip and rumors, just the best racing analyses you can get!
Always enjoy youre video's thank you
Keep it on the track, keep it in yo pants.
what about when he talks about gossip and rumours? is he no good then?
word.
talking about the horndog arent ya? xD
Smooth as usual. No gossip column. First class and a true racing enthusiast. Love this Chanel. Keep it coming Peter.
The perfect thing to listen to while driving through a Rocky Mountain snowstorm
Dont type comments while driving bro
Whiteout texting 😂😂😂
dude I'm sitting in my living room in Germany and I'm picturing it right now... looks cozy... was it?
One of the very few F1 commentary or recap I look forward to never flustered by the noise of F1 media, great insights on the sport with a wealth of understanding about the nuances of the business and it's always refreshing.
one of the few comments I look forward to below every video of Windsor.
Let's keep viewing the quality Peter brings as what should be the norm, and harshly judge the other media!
To show the absolute ridiculousness of some 'journalists', Jalopnik writer Elizabeth Blackstock was quite affronted that Red Bull Racing had dared to suspend the employee on International Women's Day...🤣🤣🤡🤣
These woke writers with an agenda should be permanently banned from ever gaining access to a Formula 1 paddock again, for the sake of our sport....
Max was fastest by far in the long run. If nothing weird happens another win for Max on Saturday.
If it is just straight forward yes, but might get some safetycars or even code reds on this mickey mouse track. Then it can go anywhere.
Love that you talk about racing and not character bashing like sky mercedes sport
Sky Mercedes sports… You are the type of person you hate. Focus on racing and not bashing Mercedes 🤣
No you are they type of person they hate. Focus on racing instead of bashing other commenters. 🤪
The only f1 media I feel I can trust these days. No celebrities, no drama (real or fake), no sensationalism. Just one person truly passionate about the sport giving the rest of us a balanced view of the technical side a driver side.
I think if "Need for Speed" producers show some integrity and bring him as a consultant they might be able to help Formula1 as a sport.
Peter, absolute in another level of F1 understanding and objective analysis, right up there with my favourite Mark Hughes.
Absolutely brilliant, unbiased commentary as usual Peter, looking forward to hearing about quali tomorrow 👍🏴
“We got through unscathed”
It’s a matter of WHEN a major incident will happen on this track
Sad but true😢 Yesterday was a near escape
Peter just makes your F1 experience better. Period. Thank you! 🙌
Love your weekly recap videos, Peter! Great way to wrap up the day and learn a bit more about the upcoming on-track action...
Thank you. I love your analysis of the goings on in F1. You answer my questions better than most others. God bless!
I agree. Blind track. I just want everyone to finish safe.
I learn so much about the inner workings of F1 because of your fine broadcast, thanks so much Peter
+1
Same here
Great, comprehensive analysis Peter.
always looking forward to your analysis :-)
Amazing work.. please continue..
Good lap time for Alonso, but based on the improvement we saw in Bahrain my guess is that the pole time will be a 1:27.8 maybe 1:27.7
Max in the red bull last year could’ve got to those times
My guess for pole time would be mid 1:27s. Could even be low 27s with a perfect lap
As always, great commentary 👌
Loved watching you open these. Should do it more often. Hi from New Zealand
Your analysis really builds on the info you get watching free practices! 👍😊
These blind corners worry me. They do need to improve the visibility, if possible. Someone is going to get hurt. And before someone calls me a cupcake, you have no idea how fast and how on the edge I have driven on track.
Always the content and delivery totally 'in sync'. A real pleasure for a lover of F1 racing.
Alonso was good but i.m afraid for him that Max his engine wasn.t on full power. Max his long runs were outstanding,Perez and Leclerc also looking good but i guess the Dutch anthem will be played on Saturday.For me as a long time Dutch F1 fan satisfying but for other fans i understand that it could be a boring season.I don.t look at it that way.I recognize the outstanding qualities and skills Max has.And again Peter,thanx for your very wise and professionel comments. No gossip about the problems within RB. It hurts to see all the gossip on social media,often not verified at all.Thank god Peter,s channel is free from this.Thanx.
SPEED TRAP INFO, Someone finally posted that info. Thank You.
Best F1 analysis
"Lance Stroll underlining the driveability of the car" The classiest shade I have ever seen thrown
Let's hope Alonso can get a podium.
I’m hoping he beats Checo.
Maybe alonso did it on extreme low fuel for the sponsor.
Still was also very quick in FP1
I hope not!
He didn't pit right away and did 2 more push laps so definitely not a total glory run
Lance is in the mix; AM has a quick car this weekend
Race result looks like
1. Max
2. Alonso
3. Perez
Hi Peter
Great post as usual.
Just to assist, the engineers appear to be calling the Visa cash app Red Bull team VCARB . Hope this helps 😎
The only channel that matters when it comes to F1
A fast track with fast corners is best, it challenges driver skills to the limit. Of course blind corners are not good but surely that could be fixed to some degree.
Blind corners are great but i agree a fix could make them greater
Peter, we are colloquially referring to the Visa-Cash App-Red Bull cars as “V-CARB” if that helps you, one of the rare times the acronym is far greater than the actual name. Cheers!
Hi Peter, I think the last lap done by Charles was a 33.8 not a 38.3 - This was reported by a few pages.
Absolutely beautiful to see Lewis nót being fast. Only after many World Titles you learn you don’t necessarily have to go for a gap anymore.
Hi Peter, I believe the 1:38.3 you have for Leclerc there was actually a 1:33.8
Why cant the cars have some sort of proximity sensor that triggers a warning light or an audible warning when they are approaching another much slower car at speed? this sensor need only trigger when there is a certain speed differential within a certain distance - enough to give the driver enough lead time to make adjustment.
Given all the technology we have today, surely this is well within electronics / engineering capabilities and such a system wouldn't add too much weight to the car?
Hi guys.I was looking at practices and mercedes BACK WING is moving down on hi speed alot. Definitely something to take a look at.
The Jedda circuit is an accident waiting to happen.
They’ll change it AFTER a horrible crash. 🤦♂️
Let’s hope the cars are safe enough for the drivers to stay alive🙏🏻

I do hope so.

I agree but YT deletes my comments for a reason unknown to me.
coincidentally seen the aston martin yesterday my 1st f1 car sighting ever 👀😅 its parked in a building in Liverpool street london
It’s that time of year for real 😂
Slight correction: Leclerc's last lap on his long run was a 33.8, NOT a 38.3.
Thanks for clarifying, that changes significantly the interpretation of his long run.
Man the outro music at the end of this video does not match what I think Peter Windsor is into at all.
Safety car track ?
Fernando Alonso proving he and Max Verstappen are a level above the rest
It does not matter how many times you try to tell yourself that. The people at the top of the all the record lists that matter are there for you to see.
@@GodisBlackRev-
Statistics only tell half the story - I bet you be saying that too, when Verstappen annihilates Hamilton’s records in the coming years.
@@GodisBlackRev-Max wouldn't be breaking any records driving the cars Alonso has for the past 15 years. You don't make any sense.
@F1Purist1950 - Ha ha yes, and Hamilton floundering around in the midfield
A measure of a driver isn’t only reflected in all-time results. The driver-team synchronicity largely rules that metric.
What of the other greats who could be easily glossed over by such a myopic outlook? Tom Pryce, Stirling Moss and the like?
Even with that said, Alonso’s competitive longevity is beyond question, and even going down your route, any driver with over 100 needs to be considered as a true great.
Whats the outro music name ?
Hamilton should’ve got a grid penalty for his blocking today. Unacceptable.
Fia never give penalised in practice - sadly it may take a huge shunt for penalties to be dished out
Yeah this one was really dangerous with Sargeant
bring back the chapters!!
lewis was not happy. FP1/2 not been good. Alonso looks very comfortable. I hope AM can get in the mix. Max looked glued to the road. Scary long runs.
Jeddah is the race track that every track should be risky and that's what F1 is about.
Think the Saudi track a disaster waiting to happen..
Why don’t people use V.C.A. to refer to VCARB?
Lewis had his 5 MB WC with Rosberg taking one in between,thats all just car related. look at the Q times over all those years,even vs Bottas FCOL?
Hello , it’s obvious , come race day it is Maxs world and everyone else is just following him in it …
He was fastest by far in the long run.
Why don't they split it up in 2 sessions, a lot less traffic and a lot safer, take the fastest time, they go to the next round, and it give the spectators more value for there money , what is more important, a major crash or good racing , then in the main race they all can go crazy.
If top speed were the determining factor, HAAS would be very near the top of the championship. If this is the direction Russell is chasing, I'm not confident of his position at the end of the race.
Im not trying to be a spoiler but when everyone can see that the numbers of cars is dangerous on this circuit during quali and practice. Surely just hoping to get through the weekend is negligent. A serious accident will happen...
Better that Sky News👍

Max was 6th after FP2 in Bahrain. Hard to see him anything but out the front this weekend. Looking forward to good racing and jousting from the other 17 drivers. Alpine 🤦♂
I enjoying watching the cars round this track but I can't help feel there's going to be A huge crash eventually at this track
That track is too dangerous.
Going by frequency of accidents Indianapolis is far more dangerous yet there is no sign of it being scrapped.
@@grzegorzkolodziej1781 there are no blind corners at Indy
Yes very poor design dangerous
@@fintonmainz7845 Yet more accidents than in Saudi Arabia
@@grzegorzkolodziej1781 what do you mean by "accidents"?
The first Jeddah race was in 2021.
Only accidents where people are hurt matter.
What is your point, if you have one.
Fernando don't give me hope yet again 😢
Fast blind corner tracks aren't my favorite.
People may hate Monaco, but it's not that fast so even though there are crashes the consequences are usually just a lot of debris and curses.
Could it be possible McLaren is saving engines because they know they won’t be competitive? Speed seems super slow for Mercedes engine
Very possible.
Again with the excuses for Lewis….yeah nobody else had traffic.
Thanks for leaving out the Soap Opera garbage and staying on topic. I think Max has the winning car IF he can stay away from someone doing something stupid. I think his good fortune might run out tomorrow with an error by someone in the pits or on track. Too many chances, on this circuit, for an unforced error.
Thanks for your insight but could we not have that horrific music at the end of your video?
Fernando on low fuel to keep aramco happy,
He does that each weekend
Max was playing Iracing till 3am in the morning… pretty sure in q3 we all will be crying again the latest in the race
Guy is an anomaly.
@@Lanse1984bro sits in a rocketship that the anamoly right there
It was till 12pm local time actually. I watched that stream yesterday
@@Shawn-ii5oytell Checo that
@@Shawn-ii5oycry
Surely its not that difficult to have one person in the team paying total concentration to the car in front of their driver, and another maybe even for the one in front of that. It’s not like they need to do that for every race, but the idea that a team can’t give their drivers an instant headsup when something happens seems to me just incompetence.
Will you talk about Abu Dhabi 2021 in this video too?
i think for last Lec time its not 38.3 its 33.8
Leclerc last lap was 33.8 not 38.3
Worth noting Alonso was intentionally running behind a Haas for a few laps just to get a feel for driving dirty air during long runs
Itls just RB. or Racing Bull. That's what everyone calls it.
Wow, talking like Lewis did such a fantastic job but was beaten by George again, and surely again.
One Martian on a Newey rocket ship against 19 humans in a 🐄 ship does not call for such a detailed analysis, this is Peter having fun and trying to make a non competitive event look interesting
Leclerc ended his run on a 33.8 not a 38.3
exactly maybe petter missed it lol
"music" at end is horrible
we all know what will happen on Sunday again - Max drives away. Only safety cars (most likely in Jeddah) will or can make it strategical and interesting race from a pitstop point of view.
Russell did a 34.2. Same as Leclerc
Fernando eying a seat at Mercedes…
Who signed off on this circuit? Oh I get it
Good commentary but with a very obvious RB bias.
1:25 Maybe your thesis about having to have short corners to qualify well is incorrect
Max banging out 33’s…
Alpine’s speed trap speed 10% off of Daniel’s…
Max was .4 to .9 ahead per lap on race sim. Get ready
What the English press has against Russel??? Faster as Hamilton at the moment .
Russell is a snarky little shit who thinks that he is god’s gift……THIS is why the press give him such a hard time.
Russell is white, Hamilton is brown (once black before he went "vegan"). That's why.
Because the British press, such as Mr Windsor here, had their lips surgically attached to LuLuBelle’s cornhole for 8 + years.
It is nice to have a nutritionist on board. I did not realize that veganism resulted in reduction of melanin. Good to know. Thank you.
Question: what do you actually think of the skill of the drivers? Dietary habits….cool to be sure. As for skin tone…….their is so much anger over pigmentation. Why. I, I, don’t get it.
What do people think of the actual skill level of the drivers (+ the cars of course)? Isn’t this the point, the joy (or despair) of Formula One?
Please help educate me.
George is a pale male and they're not well liked by the English Press.
"Hamilton being much more careful" He still span the car though didn't he Peter? And then lied about losing power like a child so he didn't have to continue looking like a fool.
Aston needs to improve on race pace
I am hoping that Hamilton can be at one with the car in qualifying. Finding the sweet spot with this new W15 will take a while.
He should ask George .
I hope I'm wrong but with all its blind flat out corners this circuit is a huge accident waiting to happen. Many close shaves in FP
Within a couple decades Jos's new son and Max's son will fight for F1 championships.
Max’s son😂 Bisides, I don’t think if Max gets a son he will be the same as Jos, in bringing up his son.
Early to make assumptions, but it seems to me Hamilton may be getting slower over one lap, either that or Russell is getting faster. Easy to say it's early in the weekend, but generally, if Russell starts ahead he tends to stay there. Anno Domini? Hope not.
Even if he gets slower, he's better. Pay attention to what Peter said. That's simply what 7-times WDC do!
As drivers age, 1 lap speed tends to drop first. Then spatial awareness. Then physical fitness.
@@wreagfe I do 'pay attention'. Doesn't mean I always agree with it. But, like I said it's early, he may pick up. It is just a worrying early trend. Having good race pace only goes so far, need to be up the grid to make use of it.
I bet on Alonso @ 67.0, seemed better than Perez @ 8.5.
