Peter Windsor's livestream, January 17, 2024

Short Corners

Peter Windsor's second livestream of 2024 begins with a look back at the career of John Webb, who passed away last week. A motor racing entrepreneur in the truest sense, John was known for his WebbAir charter service, as a sage commentator with Autosport and as a race promoter for Motor Circuit Developments in the great days of Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Mallory Park, etc. Peter then takes questions from F1 fans around the world, the flavour of which can be found in our chapter headings. This podcast has been edited from the original for reasons of length.
A special thanks to all the viewers who added to this show with their questions and comments.
