Peter Windsor, please kill yourself

Can you be any more obnoxious on your pit walk? Can you **** up those interviews any more? Can you act like more of a douchenozzle than you did today?

please, please, please just eat a bullett for ALL of us.

He has to walk a very fine line between asking questions that we would like to have answered, and at the same time not try and p*ss these guys off as they 'get in the zone'...

One wonders how accomodating Mario, or Emmo, or Jim Clark or Senna would have been, on the grid, to having a microphone stuck in their gob as they were about to do battle on the course...

Oh, and P.S. it's 'Bullit' NOT bullett as you errantly typed.... ;-)

Actually, it's "bullet," if you're talking about those little metal things that come out of guns.


Peter is a good guy, good journalist, and also a friend of mine. But the pre-race pit walk, while a nice concept, isn't working.

[rosawendel]

the pre-race pit walk, while a nice concept, isn't working.

I think the hardest part of it is having to be prepared for any multitude of interviews with just about anyone on about three seconds' notice. very difficult for anyone to pull off, and i can't think of anyone more "wired in" to even try than him (think of the train wreck that was derek daly at indy).

i think he should cue himself up at the head of the grid and do a walk down, addressing predetrmined, highlighted stories of the teams he has time for, and leave the "winging it" interviews out.

while i wouldn't equate peter windsor to it, it's not unlike the job your local weatherperson does: winging it through a predetermined core script.

[Winston Wolfe]

PW has a great job, and seems to get some decent respect when he walks down pit lane BEFORE the race is about to go off...
He doesNOT ask the "JackMyRoot" type of "What is going through your mind right now as you attempt to win the *most watered down field of talentless fools" \ greatest race in the world ?

His post qualy and post race interviews arent award winning jounalism either, but when you see the robotic responses they give you from the press conference, they are seem to make themselves into Kimi dolls, with the most deadpan responses ever.... heaven forbid if Lewis Hamilton shows that he is the most stoked individual in the entire friggin planet by having a podium in his first two races....:irked:

Funny, I like the pit walk quite a bit. You get to hear real answers. Like when he asked Briatore about Renault's crappy season and why even their launches aren't superior anymore. And when he asked Alonso about Bridgestone purposely changing compounds to benefit Ferrari.

I thought it was great stuff, and seeing the cars up close is a bonus.

I really think we are in a golden era of F1 coverage in the USA. Varsha/Hobbs/Matchett with Windsor are my all time favorite team.

[Easy]

That Lewis Hamilton is really good. Amazing job only losing a second per lap to his teammate in equal equipment. Not to put to fine a point on it, but Hamilton is just really an exceptional talent. Truely a future World Champion. Probably the best driver I've seen outside of Jimmy Clark ever. He is really, really good. He does an amazing job in his pit stops as well. Better than any rookie I have ever seen in my life, ever. Just an absolutely amazing young driver. Even the way he zips up his driving suit is superior to any other driver on the grid. His grooming looks impeccable too. I can't say enough about this fantastic, amazing, supremely talented youngster.

Then again, he's no Massa. I mean, hell, Massa was on pole in Schumacher's Ferrari and managed to do everything possible to ensure that he wouldn't win the race but still finish behind the next Shumacher, young Hamilton. That takes talent of extreme proportion! The next Senna I tell ya!

Go Massa!!!

[jonovision_man]

Amazing job only losing a second per lap to his teammate in equal equipment.

He finished 17.5s behind Alonso in a 56 lap race, not even close to a second a lap slower.

He set the fastest lap of the race.

He qualified within 0.7s of Alonso with 3 laps more fuel on board.

Actually it DOES work – just not with Peter. It works with Martin Brundle but that bit isn’t shown during the ITV telecasts on TSN here in Canada – nor do Americans know what the heck I am talking about. He was the first doing grid walks for TV – Peter is but a shallow poor copy…

That does work better, but he clearly is more liked and welcome than PW. Bernie giving him so much candid time and helping him out with the PM (even if it was FUBAR) was something he would never for for PW. The bimbos was I hope was just a shout out to the female audience because they added nothing for me.

Whatever you say its also clear he prepared well with a number of good questions for whomever he bumped into. It has a certain tension to it that is compelling. Its impressive, but in the end it is still a crapshoot and may be airtime better spent with something else. I seem to always expect more to come from it.

Bob Kubica outqualified his teammate on his debut then took a car that a world champion was doing jack **** with and scored a quite unexpected podium in his third GP. He didn't receive nearly as much ass kissing as Hamilton has for following his team leader home in qualifying and the races in what should be considered car 1A since Massa refuses to finish on the podium with the best car.

I still think the SPEED F1 broadcast team is the best race announce crew in the US in any form of the sport but this Hamilton stuff is just way over the top. I've started cringeing everytime they talk about him, its embarassing.

We're talking about a driver who had his Manor Motorsport Formula Renaults evaluated and rebuilt by McLaren when he wasn't winning. Then he did the F3 Euroseries with ASM which hasn't lost the title in like 5 years and GP2 with ASM's sister team ART. The guy has never sat in anything but AAA equipment and had his entire career underwritten by an F1 team. He is definitely a good F1 driver but before we declare him Senna, Schu and Clark all rolled into one, let's see him deal with just a little bit of diversity and maybe even beat his teammate once.

[RichK]

I agree about Kubica. His onboard video turned me into a big fan of his. The way he picked up the throttle in that double apex right turn was buttery-smooth, and way more impressive than the McLaren or Ferrari drivers, IMO.

They don't deserve Peter Windsor's man crush. McLaren would never ever run light, just like how they have never used those evil team orders.

Oh, that Lewis Hamilton is really, really, really good, because his dad is from Grenada and he is Black.

I don't know why you think Bernie wouldn't give Peter time. Bernie hand-picked Peter to do the podium interviews.

As for the videos that were posted, I wasn't impressed. Still a lot of dashing about on the grid, desperately trying to grab someone. Still a lot of silly interviews. And the bit with the Prime Minister was pretty embarrassing, if you ask me!

Bernie has had a soft spot for Martin for years and helped him get the odd drive here and there. Perhaps the latest grid walks are not his best - but he has had some classic ones. Peter seems a nice guy and the winners Q&A wouldn't sound the same without him - but he just hasn't got the same dry, quick whit as Martin.

Varsha, Hobbs, Matchett and Windsor provide the best auto racing play by play available in the the USA. Lewis Hamilton will be a World Champion. Some knuckle dragging Intertard losers will forever be envious of the successful.

I think thats gotta be the toughest job out there. Don't piss anyone off, stay postive and light enough so you don't throw anyone off their game, but get some interesting info. I look forward to it. This year, yeah, kinda drab, but last year he had a bit more grit to the questions.

BTW, how much juice does Speed have with these guys that he can just walk and talk like that? I don't see a lot of other camera crews out there (at least I don't think I see any, lol). Is it that its the lone US TV outlet?

I'm going to investigate watching F1 on a Spanish language channel if possible. I think Varsha is absolutely top notch and Matchett can provide great mechanical insight but every GP has turned into a Hamilton suckoff. Hobbes brief whining about the grid penalties was shabby too. The McLarens were clearly the only cars on the racing line which is why they got the penalty. Heikki even admitted guilt and accepted the penalty.

I think they allow the host broadcasters during the season one crew. I've definitely seen an ITV crew and Widnsor would always mention Alonso was talking to his home Spanish station. I think other drivers probably have exclusive agreements with other networks and that's why they are never on SPEED.
