In 2015, Windsor conducted a driving analysis of the different Formula One drivers' during February pre-season testing.FORMULA 1. (2015, March 13). Analysis of Turns Two and Three in Barcelona. [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvqVtbwx5JQ Windsor watched the drivers' as they entered and exited the highly technical corners of turns two and three of the Circuit de Catalunya.
Hülkenberg was described as only "just getting the car as straight as possible." Although the car would give a light "squiggle" of instability, he was not "rocking the car" in a way that would hamper his line through turn three. Windsor thought that "for sure" that he was thinking ahead to the next corner.
