ticket prices are too expensive. im seeing the same problem here in Australia with supercars, because mosport isn't really a sport, its a rich mans sport, its aspirational that's why advertisers like rolex etc are the only corporations left which advertise - being aspirational - for some reason has correpsonded to ticket and food prices that only a saudi royal family member can afford. i would love to go to the aus GP every year but the ticket price means its a once a decade thing... for gen z probably a only ever go once thing. And i never ever see exec or journalists grounded enough to see the wood for the trees. i cant even watch F1 anymore its behind paywalls i have to watch youtube watch along where some dude calls the race and we watch the live timing. is this really what F1 wants for its fans ?
@sspacegghost yep, agree totally. F1 is for those who can afford it, not for the masses. Exclusivity has always been F1's mantra. Shame for the average fans.
I used to go to the BGP every year. Unless money is no object and you can fly in and out, have premium seating, access and hospitality, you'll sit in traffic for hours,there and back, have limited access, queue ages for everything, see little of the action and pay a hefty price. Far better to watch live at home on a 50+" TV with surround sound, all your food and beverages at hand, all the commentary,, replays, analysis, camera angles, slowmo etc. Sorry guys, it's a no brainer.
Peter, love you & the show but I’m a business man & what I think you are missing in the Lewis decision is- he is a championship winner, he has higher casche, he moved the stock up dramatically and he helped them already with the new & additional sponsorship!✅💯. None of the existing drivers can move the stock up that much by signing!✅💯
Hi, Peter. Love these live podcasts. Great point you make about fans walking away when one team dominates. The only reason Silverstone could be struggling to sell tickets (which I have my doubts about), is due to the price. As far as one team domination is concerned, that stopped with the cost cap and the restrictions on out of season practice rules. The bottom line is that Red Bull have been the best team to master the last regulations changes, and have reaped the benefits. It will, as it has always has, revert to another team dominating again at some point, and my money would definitely be on McClaren.
Hi Peter. Love the understeer and oversteer analogy of your dog. My dog definitely is oversteering. However: we have one issue: I love Nelson Piquet. I think he is the one multiple Champ nobody gives credit to. In my opinion, Nelson was was the very best driver in 1983 and 1984. Behind all politics Nelson was very, very good. I admit in `87 Nigel was definitely faster. However, it was kind of payback to 1980 when Jonesey smashed him into the barrier in Montreal at the first start. Anyhow: LOVE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY!! (Just thinking of the article when you tried to intrudude the „friction circle“ to Jacques Villeneueve back in 1996 ;) Love Jacqes anywas. Cheers from Switzerland.
This is the second time I hear Peter say Sainz having to drive knowing he has to leave at the end of the season for so long is unprecedented. Sebastian Vettel was let go before the start of the 2020 season, having to drive the whole season for Ferrari knowing he has to leave.
I believe it was only announced later on in the season, but didn’t vettel have the Aston Martin deal lined up pretty early on? I think that has been mentioned? Also Vettel was at the tail end of his career, not on an upward trajectory. That’s the bit that I believe Pete is referring to as unprecedented
Re the RB soapbox race. The finishing order was by driver weight, heaviest first lightest last. Coincidence? Or in spoapboxes is driver weight a significant advantage.
It’s sad that Formula one is just about making money now. We have had the best of f1 unfortunately. Stop the car manufacturers having so much say in the direction of the sport and reboot it. The cars in 1993 were more technology driven than they are now?
Hey Peter number 2!! I respect Carlos greatly but it beginning to seem you are bending too way far backwards to support Carlos. Who wouldn't go for Max or Lewis is they had the opportunity?
If you think Schumacher should be given another drive in F1 then definitely the driver in his first F2 year, Robert Schwartzman, who won more races than Schumacher, should be given a drive
Hello Peter! I've followed your F1 musings for decades now. First thing: I blame the so called boringness this year not on the Max but on Sergio! If Perez was competitive you wouldn't hear these comments.
Is it not possible that the Brits aren’t buying tickets because their boy hasn’t won a race in years? I think that’s more on Mercedes who botched the regs than Red Bull.
Huh? Have you seen the price of tickets. And it's pretty sure to say that Lando, a British driver, is closer to Max than anyone else has since 2021. So your statement smacks of some other prejudice you might be dealing with.
131:30 Jesus, 'Of Course' they know what 'you're talking about'. Of Course they do. I am fond of Peter but the Arrogance to think that a race winner 'doesn't know what you're talking about'... It's not 'Obvious' what the fastest corner/tire saving pairing is. It's one thing to ask the Question, but the declarative authority on driver IQ is just bizarre 😒
Actually, Lewis said Max has nothing to do with poor ticket sales, and it's actually the cost of tickets at a time when people are struggling with the cost of living.
From what I've heard, British GP ticket prices have increased dramatically from last year and that's why people are skipping it this year. Haven't fact checked..
Quiet frankly Peter, I take very little to no notice of F1 comentaters , particularly TH-camrs who sensationalise to the point that 1% may be the truth. There is so much utter rubbish out there. Even team managers only tell what they want you to believe. Your the only one I have faith in to tell it like it is. Keep up the good work Peter.
He’s such a good incestiga(y)tive journalist that it has been said that the FOM has preemptively blacklisted him from getting a press pass. They are apparently worried he would uncover all their state secrets. The signs are there, open your eyes.
Many stupid talks from people on outside that don't understand things like engine modes, team decisions, budgets and guidelines. I believe many race had Perez engine modes lower for long term while Lando is up for gains. There are so many things people don't know but act like they do and in drivers head to know what they are thinking....like sabotage email about Lewis Hamilton tires being too cold to give teammate advantage, upgrades, etc
I don't think so.... newey knows what he has done.... that's why he is leaving.... and maybe max is gonna leave to.... then Perez and ricciardo in the team??? Old people isn't the way red Bull should go😢
Melbourne is a fantastic race I’ve been every year since 2003 and it’s Wicked I’ve been to 19 so far and Malaysia is the best I heard Mercedes and Pedro’s are putting it back on Not the government that’s ho good it is. The best the original Hermen Tilkner track “Sepang international Circuit”. 👀🧐🤯💥🤫🔍
Sir Sterling Moss used to say that Lewis could become 10x champion. If you look at 2010 and 2012 he could have been champ those years but McLaren wasn't on point as a team. Of course 2016 and 2021 could have been another 2 more, 11x?. Coulda woulda tho...
Carlos went for mediums bot only to cover George, but also because his tyres started to degrade from lap 12. Because he pushed too much. So, the strategy was decided by himself, mainly. By the lack of patience, rather.
I must admit that this idea that the new fans due to Drive to Survive is just fly-by-night, good weathered fans is getting old. The online judgement is high. It is the "true lifelong fans" and purists that can complain about recent domination just as much. It is very elitist views going around. And to be honest, not welcoming at all. It is anyway not "these new fans" that went to the tracks a few years ago, so if people are not attending any more it is the "true fans" that are leaving. Yet, the ones coming in due to DTS get blamed for not appreciating this sport enough. Please be more kind to the new fans. And this is not directed at you, Peter. It is all over the vibe you get.
Glad you gave a bit more info on why the tickets are pricey at Silverstone on your interview with Cameron F1….great interview and insight into Austrian GP.
I don't think you can reasonably compare Toto's and Christian's calmness, because they have different amounts of pressure on them. One is a part team owner, one is an employee. It's easy to be calm when it's someone else's money.
The journalist on Perez possibly getting sacked: Carlos Miquel, El Partidazo de COPE. Perhaps reason Sainz hasn't signed yet, though it is a Spanish journalist so I am a little cautious. The Max 3/10th: BBC Chequered Flag podcast, Andrew Benson. It's actually a thing.
i love your spirit about the hand gesture -- there is no way you could expect them to do that NOW with that space ship steering wheel haha! Sure when your car just has a big wheel and nothing else that might be easier :D
Be sad to see DR go while hoping LL gets a seat. Obviously, Daniel's big problem is his inconsistency in the early part of the season. I do believe, however, that he's, right now, on par with Yuki. Was an excellent Canada and was better than Yuki throughout last weekend despite Yuki being ever so slightly quicker in Q3 ( I understand he got a tow). It seems sad to me that someone who can qualify that car in 5th in Canada plus a 4th in a Sprint race, something no one has done in recent times in that car, should be getting dropped while Checo gets a contract extension and people are talking about a possible move for Zhou to Alpine. Maybe I'm just sentimental, lol.
If Daniel can keep the consistency going for Austrian and British GPs and head of Yuki, he should be safe. I hoping that Daniel beats Yuki in the next two races because that will shut everyone up.
@@sbGOM Yep, I agree with your assessment. Daniel two top 5 qualifying positions this year proves that. VCARB needs to sort out its upgrades, which are not helping both drivers at the moment. At this point, Daniel needs to outperform Yuki over the next two races. If Daniel can achieve outcome then it will be four races in a row where Daniel has done better than Yuki.
The issue for ricciardo is that he needed to be better than both Yuki and checo, but he's not they're pretty much equal imo and none are really good enough for that red bull seat. Liam's not ready for the seat either, so they're kind of stuck with perez because at least they know what he is. Ricciardo can't be trusted to come in and perform and Yuki is too immature and wouldn't be able to handle the pressure.
Lewis should have been banned from that season like Schumacher in 1997, why? Deliberately crashing. Lewis never missed that apex of copse except once and you know what? Aimed for that rear wheel. It is the Lewis way of playing dirty and getting away with it. Pretty sure Max would have won that silverstone race and then the last race debate would’ve not existed. The amount of penalties taken for engine changes was not in the spirit of the game/rules. But! It is history! Move on mate
Peter, hi I’m booked for 23 August for @F1 Exhibition London #F1Exhibition #F1 - couldn’t make it from Moraira to Madrid last year but looking forward to @ExCeLLondon - could the exhibits suffer because @F1Exhibition Toronto has been extended to Sept?

Max is doing the job he loves. And doing the best job. He’s living the dream 👀🧐🤔🤫 Yes genius 🥰
The unhappy attitude towards Silverstone is the ticket prices I believe. Flying to any Euro race is cheaper apparently.
Schumacher went from Benetton to Ferrari and he improved 👀🧐🤯💥🤫
I used to go to the BGP every year. Unless money is no object and you can fly in and out, have premium seating, access and hospitality, you'll sit in traffic for hours,there and back, have limited access, queue ages for everything, see little of the action and pay a hefty price.

Hi peter,great job.i was at Portland indycar and i took a pic of a lion sticker on Nigels car carrier.
Unexpected cameo of Rocketpoweredmohawk 😂
zomg - I demand a timestamp!

Great insight as always. The question about RocketPoweredMowhawk at 12:22. Love that dude’s content also!
Great statement on Lewis “God tier” 🤫
“The System” yes it’s all wrong we need a shakeup in f1.

Re the RB soapbox race. The finishing order was by driver weight, heaviest first lightest last.
Coincidence? Or in spoapboxes is driver weight a significant advantage.
Lando’s improved but can he beat Max regularly from Now in 🇦🇹 👀🧐🤫🤯💥
I’d love that DOTD decision idea to go to the FIA or the Drivers Association really. 👍🏼🤪
The camera angles are pretty terrible to track a drivers true skill or how fast the car is going
It’s sad that Formula one is just about making money now. We have had the best of f1 unfortunately. Stop the car manufacturers having so much say in the direction of the sport and reboot it. The cars in 1993 were more technology driven than they are now?
Hey Peter number 2!! I respect Carlos greatly but it beginning to seem you are bending too way far backwards to support Carlos. Who wouldn't go for Max or Lewis is they had the opportunity?
Lando has to win next year or Oscar might start reeling off Championships instead. 👀🧐🤯💥🤫
If you think Schumacher should be given another drive in F1 then definitely the driver in his first F2 year, Robert Schwartzman, who won more races than Schumacher, should be given a drive
Lewis podium probably help ticket sales for UK...
Cheers, PW.

Hello Peter! I've followed your F1 musings for decades now. First thing: I blame the so called boringness this year not on the Max but on Sergio! If Perez was competitive you wouldn't hear these comments.
Is it not possible that the Brits aren’t buying tickets because their boy hasn’t won a race in years? I think that’s more on Mercedes who botched the regs than Red Bull.
No, it's because the tickets are stupidly expensive this year
More on lewis
Huh? Have you seen the price of tickets. And it's pretty sure to say that Lando, a British driver, is closer to Max than anyone else has since 2021. So your statement smacks of some other prejudice you might be dealing with.
Prost didn’t want Senna 2:03:44
LOLLLLL @@@@ I really don’t think RPM is up peters street. Think he’d think he was awwfully ghastly
Ferrari didn’t win at Monza in 2023 though 👀🤫
Ferrari did Seb and Carlos wrong. They deserve karma visits.
131:30 Jesus, 'Of Course' they know what 'you're talking about'. Of Course they do. I am fond of Peter but the Arrogance to think that a race winner 'doesn't know what you're talking about'...

Peter, I like you, but you have to stop discussing that Lewis should be an 8/9 times world champion.
Actually, Lewis said Max has nothing to do with poor ticket sales, and it's actually the cost of tickets at a time when people are struggling with the cost of living.
Agreed, I myself wanted to go but I cannot justify paying £500 for a weekend pass..!
LOLLLLL @@@@ I really don’t think RPM is up peters street. Think he’d think he was awwfully ghastly

Yes, rocket powered Mohawk is a GREAT F1 journalist. S tier
RPM? When? Timestamp?
He’s such a good incestiga(y)tive journalist that it has been said that the FOM has preemptively blacklisted him from getting a press pass. They are apparently worried he would uncover all their state secrets.
The signs are there, open your eyes.
I have a feeling he knows who he is, just easier to say he doesn't since RPM is not the most politically correct F1 journalist
Amen! Only Windsor and Rocketpowered live in S tier.
😂 The soapbox comment forgot to mention that weight also plays a huge role in the speed you get.
The RPM question is at @12:22
Many stupid talks from people on outside that don't understand things like engine modes, team decisions, budgets and guidelines. I believe many race had Perez engine modes lower for long term while Lando is up for gains. There are so many things people don't know but act like they do and in drivers head to know what they are thinking....like sabotage email about Lewis Hamilton tires being too cold to give teammate advantage, upgrades, etc
RocketPoweredMowhawk is the greatest!
The poor sales have all to do with the price of tickets. It has nothing to do with Max especially given how the season has been progressing.
Thank you for giving Christian Horner the credit he deserves. He is a brilliant team principal.
I don't think so.... newey knows what he has done.... that's why he is leaving.... and maybe max is gonna leave to.... then Perez and ricciardo in the team??? Old people isn't the way red Bull should go😢
Woooo for Rocketpoweredmowhawk.
Lando knows he made a mistake. He’ll execute a “Perfect” weekend in Austria 🇦🇹 cause he loves it 👀🧐🤫🤪🧡
Melbourne is a fantastic race I’ve been every year since 2003 and it’s Wicked I’ve been to 19 so far and Malaysia is the best I heard Mercedes and Pedro’s are putting it back on Not the government that’s ho good it is. The best the original Hermen Tilkner track “Sepang international Circuit”. 👀🧐🤯💥🤫🔍
Pass a rule for kimi but not herta so wrong. Briatore is alpines Marco.also time for liam to take over the rb seat.
Yes Oscar will beat Lando I agree. Yeah but Max is on his Sim while they’re doing that.👀🧐🤫
Nice about he dog ‘God Tier’ as always 👀🧐🤫🤯💥🥰
Great question Paulo Souza 🥰🤪
Thank You ‘TH-cam’ ❤️

It’s all about the ticket costs! Redbull being #1 has nothing to do with low ticket sales. Redbull makes it more fun. The promoters need to grow up .
Hi Peter. Danish greetings, and thanks for your great shows. How do you see the future of Alpine? Sale of team, Mb engine? All best Søren Christiansen
“ Have much more money” or Lewis 🤯💥
And Sainz 👀
Carlos went for mediums bot only to cover George, but also because his tyres started to degrade from lap 12. Because he pushed too much. So, the strategy was decided by himself, mainly. By the lack of patience, rather.

25:14 Manners will make the sport a wonderful thing. Managing aggression with courtesy. Good point Windsor. 👏
Yes, it is ridiculous that they blame Max for the ticket sales. My god, where does it end?? Cheap shot🤣
Silverstone is way too expensive.Who wants to commit a small fortune to a future event at the mercy of the great British weather.
70 % of Lewis fans are no real F1 fans . They are stopped going.
Greed is never a good thing to be exposed for, when their customers feel like they are being fleeced.
Drivers train on Twitch today. Peter getting too adult to get that 😅
Wth is he talking about manners for
Your stories, your life incredible. 🤔👀🧐🤯💥🥰
Technologies will/is killing the niceties of life
Why was Piastri so slow this weekend?
I wish you would run f1 Pete
I’m sorry but this short corner stuff just does not add up Lando is proving this. Remember there is always more then 1 way to go fast.

It is the Lewis way of playing dirty and getting away with it.

I’m booked for 23 August for @F1 Exhibition London #F1Exhibition #F1 - couldn’t make it from Moraira to Madrid last year but looking forward to @ExCeLLondon - could the exhibits suffer because @F1Exhibition Toronto has been extended to Sept?
