Paddock 43: An F1 Podcast

This week on Paddock 43 we sit down with David Hayes, Series Director of Formula 1: Drive to Survive, just days before Season 8 drops on Netflix. With Drive to Survive Season 8 releasing Friday, 27th, we go behind the scenes of the global Formula 1 phenomenon that reshaped the sport and the fandom. David shares what it’s really like filming inside the F1 paddock, how storylines are crafted across a chaotic race season, and the pressure of producing one of the most-watched sports docuseries in the world. We also dive into: What fans can expect from Drive to Survive Season 8 How the series has transformed Formula 1 globally Behind-the-scenes moments that never make it to air A wholesome and hilarious story about Lando Norris in Monaco Early thoughts on the 2026 Formula 1 season Australian Grand Prix anticipation and what makes Melbourne so special And yes… we were filmed for the upcoming season and then cut from the final edit. 😂 We unpack how that happens and why storytelling in F1 is more complex than fans realise.

The Qatar Grand Prix blew the championship wide open, and with one race left, everything comes down to the fallout from one moment: the Lap 7 Safety Car. We break down how that decision and the chaos that followed may have cost Oscar Piastri the entire championship. We dive deep into the Lando vs Oscar tension, McLaren’s strategy roulette, and whether team orders should have been used.

And of course a very big kudos to Carlos Sainz.

In this episode of Paddock 43, we sit down with Karl Reindler - one of only TWO people in the world trusted to drive the Formula 1 Medical Car. Karl takes us inside the job no one talks about but every F1 fan should know: following the entire grid at full speed on Lap 1, arriving first at major crashes, and making split-second decisions that can save lives. We dive deep into: The insane reality of being the first responder in F1 What it was like arriving first at Zhou Guanyu’s terrifying 2022 Silverstone crash How some drivers react (and don’t react) after major incidents How Karl went from F3 Champion & Supercars driver to F1 Medical Car driver The pressure of piloting “the fastest ambulance in the world” The wildest things he’s seen from behind the scenes that fans never get to hear about Karl also opens up about his own fireball crash, how it shaped his dedication to motorsport safety, and why this role has become the most meaningful chapter of his life. This episode pulls back the curtain on one of F1’s most intense and misunderstood roles and shows just how critical the Medical Car team is to the sport we love. 🏁 Welcome to Paddock 43 – The Formula 1 Podcast That Keeps It Real!    🏎️💨If you love F1 drama, race breakdowns, driver gossip, and unfiltered opinions, you’re in the right place!

This week on Paddock 43, we unpack one of the most dramatic weekends of the Formula 1 season, the Brazilian Grand Prix We kick things off with the moment everyone’s talking about: Kimi Antonelli’s bump into Oscar Piastri, the controversial 10-second penalty, and why we think Oscar was unfairly punished. Did the stewards get it wrong? Or was Antonelli really to blame? Then, we dive into the drivers’ championship battle, is it Lando Norris’ year? We discuss whether Oscar’s time is still to come and how the McLaren rivalry is shaping up heading into the final races. We also dive deep into Franco Colapinto’s contract extension and what this means for Jack Doohan’s F1 dream. And, as always, we wrap things up with our Green Flag / Red Flag.

The 2025 Mexico Grand Prix turned the Formula 1 world upside down. Lando Norris took victory and snatched the championship lead from Oscar Piastri, ending the Aussie’s incredible title run and flipping the fight on its head.... for now..

We had the most embarrassing celebrity encounter ever at MotoGP… and yes, it involved Chris Hemsworth 😳. But once we recovered from that, we dove straight into one of the biggest headlines in Formula 1 right now - Apple’s record-breaking bid for exclusive F1 broadcasting rights in the USA. What does this mean for fans, streaming platforms, and the future of how we watch Formula 1? Then we get into the Austin Grand Prix, which wasn’t exactly a thriller... but McLaren certainly gave us something to talk about. We break down the on-track fight between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, whether it’s time McLaren picks a number one driver, and what this could mean for the rest of their season. Plus, we look at Max Verstappen’s resurgence and debate if Red Bull are quietly back to full strength and whether Max can still fight for the Drivers’ Championship. As always, we wrap things up with our Green and Red Flag of the week and trust us, there are some bold takes in there. If you love Formula 1, MotoGP, or motorsport gossip with a twist, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. 🎧 Tune in, laugh with (and at) us, and hit follow for your weekly dose of motorsport meets chaos.

Think you know F1 tyres? Think again. In this episode of Paddock 43, we dive deep into one of Formula 1’s most overlooked, but absolutely crucial topics: tyres. From how different compounds work and what the new 2025 tyre compositions mean for the season, to how teams use tyre strategy to win (or lose) races, we break it all down in a way that actually makes sense. We chat about why tyre management can make or break a Grand Prix, how many tyres teams are allowed to use, what happens to used sets after race weekend, and how tyre wars have shaped F1 history. Whether you’re new to the sport or a lifelong fan, this episode will finally make you understand why everyone’s obsessed with “the undercut.” 👉 Tune in, learn something new, and see F1 strategy in a whole new light.

This week on Paddock 43 we unpack one of the wildest (and longest) weekends Formula 1 has seen this year. The Baku GP delivered pure chaos with six red flags, heartbreak for Oscar Piastri, and Carlos Sainz calling it “the best podium of my career” after Williams pulled off a smooth operation. Plus some slightly insane conspiracy theories around Lando Norris. Off-track, the gossip was just as juicy: Hadjar rumoured as Max Verstappen’s 2026 teammate Arvid potentially joining Racing Bulls (and what this means for Liam Lawson or Yuki Tsunoda) Azerbaijan GP extended to 2030 Lando Norris in British Vogue and liking an OnlyFans model’s page 👀 Private jets to Baku Charles Leclerc’s brain data being stolen and the story of Carlos & Charles renting a van after their plane diverted mid-flight Plus, we talk Laura Villar’s run for FIA president, unicorn Carlos fans, and how the championship maths prove Max no longer needs McLaren DNFs to seal the title.
