Peter Windsor[]

Windsor conducted a driving analysis of the different Formula One drivers' during February 2015's pre-season testing.[2] Windsor watched the drivers' as they entered and exited the highly technical corners of turns two and three of the Circuit de Catalunya.[2]

He noted that Ericsson had a "very wide entry into three, he is probably leaning on the left rear quite a lot."[2] Windsor believing Ericsson's style meant he would be compromised further on in the lap.[2] Ericsson was described as "fun to watch", however would likely encounter "differences" in approach from the other drivers'.[2]
