The Flying Lap with Peter Windsor

LIVE Wednesday 19:00UK time / 11AM Pacific

"Happy Birthday, Dan Gurney" - plus Malaysian GP debrief

Today's episode co-incides with the 80th birthday of that great American racing driver, Dan Gurney. Accordingly, we will be welcoming Dan, a 4-time F1 winner, onto the show live from the headquarters of All-American Racers in Santa Ana, California, mainly to say "Happy Birthday" but also to talk about machinery like the 1967 Eagle-Weslake - a car generally considered by F1 enthusiasts world-wide to be the most beautiful of all time - and Dan's amazing racing life. We'll also be looking back at the Malaysian Grand Prix and ahead to the UBS Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai with two other special guests - Sergio Rinland, the ex-Williams, ex-Sauber engineer who also worked for Dan Gurney, and Rob Wilson, the world's leading driver coach.

SHOW NOTES ANSWERED QUESTIONS

Raymond in Singapore | @raymondu999

Question to Rob. We saw Button improve after his 2009 title clinch, and Vettel seems to have taken leaps and bounds in confidence, consistency, and even speed (he was neck and neck with Mark Webber, and now he’s thrashed Mark solidly).

However I think we’ve also seen some drivers that haven’t improved as much due to a title win. Why do you think that some drivers improve more/less relative to each other after a title win?

Mark Webber has never won a title. Ever. Vettel at least won Formula BMW in dominant fashion. Button won in karts, and Lewis in numerous lower formulae. Could this be working against Mark, in that maybe there’s still a monkey/gorilla on Mark’s back that isn’t there for the others?

Gabriella in London

To Mr. Wilson. Being a driver coach yourself, how do you rate the Rob Smedley – Felipe Massa combination? Is Rob Smedley going past the boundaries of being an engineer and in fact starting to become a driver coach for Felipe?

Dave in Newport Beach

Dan, my buddy Darrel and I hopped the fence into the ’63 Nurburgring paddock to find you and one mechanic troubleshooting your car. Great memories! Happy Returns, Dave

Joe in Miami | @wfojoe

What are Dan’s thoughts on 4 cylinder Turbos in Formula 1. Also, did he ever get an opportunity to try drag racing? Thanks, Peter.
-Joe

JC - Mexico | @jcsienra

Great overtaking in Malasya, particularly by Sauber guys and not so good from Fernando, but do you think that China will benefit this?

Dave in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma | @DaveinOkla

I love watching the racing at the old Monza track with the banking. How did the drivers feel about it when they changed the track?

Dave in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma | @DaveinOkla

With all the knobs, buttons, dials, levers & all in the cockpit are we approaching driver overload & could that become dangerous for drivers to have so much to do & drive?

Juan Souto from Buenos Aires

Red Bull flexible front wing. Are they obtaining ground effect by flexing carbon parts like the nose or wing ??, this seems to be a very unprecise movement throught the track in order to get an efficient effect-
Probably RB is using a certain kind of active suspension to obtain the effect.That is lowering the chassis.
Kind regards, and Good Show !!!!

Matt from Torrington CT

How was it to be in the movie “Grand Prix”? Was it fun? Could it be done now in the same way?

Dominic in Dublin

Question for Mr. WIlson. We’ve seen in the past two races that Mark Webber has had to pit once more per race than Seb Vettel, and Jenson could survive with one less stop than Lewis in Malaysia.

What is it in terms of driving that allows a driver to “manage” or “eek more life” out of tyres? Is it simply driving slower? Or is it something other than speed? Is it possible to be slow, and destroy tyres, or be fast but be incredibly preservative on the tyres?

Driver coaching…like a crew chief and spotter in NASCAR?

SALIM

Hi Peter, could you ask Sergio how difficult is it for a team to copy another teams design(the external stuff like front wing, diffuser ect)? What I am trying to get at is why cnt a team like Lotus look at a redbull and make an exact replica.

Jim, Wauconda, IL

Does Dan have a “crowning achievement”?

James, Sweden

Whats your feeling on the upcoming engine rules change re: turbo

Dead Man Woking USA

Happy Birthday Dan! I loved watching you race in F1 Can-Am Trans-Am Sports Cars and USAC. You were my hero, I even voted for you for President!

Jim, Wauconda, IL

Did you stop racing too early?

Dr. Brett

Could you comment on this thread Peter?http://forums.autosport.com/index.php?showtopic=146011

This is the question on the forum – Just rewatched the race on BBC HD and it is striking how Petrov’s wheel came off in his hand. Could the bumps in Senna’s accident caused the same thing?

Jim, Wauconda, IL

Driver coaching…like a crew chief and spotter in NASCAR?

Dominic in Dublin

Question to Mr. Rinland, Red Bull in 2010 had tremendous aero downforce, and were in their own league in the fast corners. This was the case as well in 2009, seemingly.

Melbourne doesn’t have many fast corners, and Sepang’s fast corners should have been perfect for the Red Bull. But why is it that they had a bigger advantage in Melbourne qualifying? Although Sepang should have suited Red Bull better than Melbourne?

Thank you

F1chick_uk | @f1chick_uk

Many happy Returns Dan, your favourite car to drive was which?

Mac Seymour | @Sharksfinn1

Peter Can you please ask Sergio What he thinks or the Pirelli Tyre Degredation.

PJ, Ireland | @PJ_Tierney

What do you all think of next year’s Austin GP? Is there a chance of sustained F1 success for the circuit without a US driver/team in the sport to drive it on?

Guests:

Dan Gurney - Former F1, Le Mans, Indy, Nascar driver

Sergio Rinland - Former Benetton, Ferrari, Sauber engineer

Rob Wilson - Pre-eminent driver coach

Websites:

Dan Gurney's All-American Racers - http://allamericanracers.com

Sutton Images - http://sutton-images.com

Notes:

The discussion ranged from how Dan Gurney
started on his racing journey, to the different race series
he has driven, to the many victories in his career, to the Le Mans
podium in 1967 where he started the champagne spraying tradition,
to the modern racer and what he thinks about Michael Schumacher's return

It was a nice gathering of friends and great
to hear from an American racing legend!
