Underneath the Radar - Peter Windsor
This chap seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. Is he still doing stuff for SPEED? Or has he gone into hiding?

Well I don't think he'd be a popular visitor to Charlotte, which is where SPEED happens to be.

He is probably in hiding somewhere, not wishing for a repeat of his last F1 team failure to materialise.... one where law suits were issued and PW won a few quid from his investors. He ended up being 'kidnapped' and given a bit of a roughing up, and dumped somewhere in a ditch IIRC. End of story is that left him needing a stay in hospital.
He has probably bought a wig and moved to Rio! To explain the last line I remember a Monty Python sketch with the line 'Shave your head and meet me in Rio'. Well, PW doesnt have much hair to shave, so hence buy a wig.... |

He's still around and out in the open
He was at the Australian Grand Prix this year, doing the track commentary with Neil Crompton and Bob Constanduros. The gigs he had at Speed and ONE were both probably replaced by the time he gave in to USF1 not being on the 2010 grid |

Wonder where his pal Anderson is? It would seem he's gone to ground.

Windsor's been going to the races. I spoke with him in Montreal.
He said he's looking at creating a web presence. He also would be open to returning to Speed, but whether they'd be open to that I have no idea. |

Sure they would! When they introduce him, the graphics can say "Peter Windsor- That guy who made us all look like utter pillocks"

I have a belief in things many would deride, but that there has been radio silence on this matter makes total sense to me. |

I'm not expecting much from that article. Lots of spin, light on facts and truth. All in all, Peter seemed pretty oblivious to happenings at USF1. |
