2025 F1 Austrian GP - full analysis with Peter Windsor

Peter Windsor Season 2 Episode 35

Lando Norris began his race weekend in Austria with headset on, watching Alexander Dunne show his talent in FP1.  He then quickly made up for lost time, setting the pace in FP2, taking the pole on Saturday and winning the race on Sunday.  Of course, as Peter Windsor describes in this podcast, it was not as simple as that: his team-mate at McLaren-Mercedes, Oscar Piastri, applied pressure throughout the race; and Lando - like many other drivers - was obliged for most of the distance  to nurse aero damage on the car. McLaren, though, finished one-two again, with Ferrari crossing the line P3/P4 (with Charles Leclerc ahead of Sir Lewis Hamilton). George Russell was P5 for Mercedes but Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen, who qualified only seventh, was eliminated on the first lap when he was t-boned by the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli.
