Peter David Windsor (born 11 April 1952 in Reigate, Surrey, England) is the former Sporting Director of the US F1 Team and a Formula One journalist. He was brought up in Australia, but now has residences in London and Sydney.
Windsor started his journalism career at the now defunct monthly magazine Competition Car. He was the motorsport editor for the British weekly magazine from the late 1970s until 1985, and was lauded for his Grand Prix reports.
In 1985, thanks to his close relationship with Nigel Mansell, Windsor became sponsorship manager at Williams. He then worked as general manager for Ferrari's UK base in 1989, only to return to Williams as team manager in 1991. Windsor has won five awards for his writing, and most of his early television work has taken place with networks of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. From 1998 to 2000, Windsor was the on-location reporter for Fox Sports Networks' coverage of Formula One. He then joined Sky Sports as a pit reporter on their F1 Digital + package. He also worked as a pit reporter for the American Broadcasting Company's coverage of the 2002 United States Grand Prix. He also returned to WilliamsF1 as the narrator of the museum in the team's Interactive HQ website.
Shortly before the start of the 1986 season, Windsor was in an automobile accident when the car he was riding in with Frank Williams crashed on the way from the Paul Ricard Circuit in southern France to the Nice airport, causing Windsor minor injuries but leaving Williams, who was driving, paralysed.
