Think you know F1 tyres? Think again.
In this episode of Paddock 43, we dive deep into one of Formula 1âs 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 youâre new to the sport or a lifelong fan, this episode will finally make you understand why everyoneâs obsessed with âthe undercut.â
đ 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 âthe best podium of my careerâ 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 Verstappenâs 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 modelâs page đ
Private jets to Baku
Charles Leclercâs brain data being stolen and the story of Carlos & Charles renting a van after their plane diverted mid-flight
Plus, we talk Laura Villarâs run for FIA president, unicorn Carlos fans, and how the championship maths prove Max no longer needs McLaren DNFs to seal the title.
Itâs messy, chaotic, and absolutely unmissable.

Weâre back with a full breakdown of the Italian Grand Prix weekend at Monza!! And yes, it was as chaotic as the Tifosi hoped (and feared). From Ferrariâs special livery and Charles and Lewis giving Vatican-core energy, to a fiery start that saw Norris and Verstappen battling through the first chicane, thereâs a lot to unpack. We cover Max Verstappenâs dominant drive back to the top, and we dive DEEP into the McLaren drama and our hot take on this controversy.
Plus, all the latest F1 news - Guenther Steiner buying a MotoGP team, Pierre Gasly re-signing with Alpine, Monacoâs extension, Williamsâ penalty review drama, and Daniel Ricciardo becoming Fordâs newest ambassador.
In Social Corner, itâs HB Carlos Sainz (gelato in hand), a spicy Verstappen-Checo dad drama, and a wholesome look at Isa Bernadini building an app to help the visually impaired. We also talk random Monza moments and finish up with our Green and Red Flags of the week.
Strap in, itâs a good one!

On this weeks paddock 43 episode we chat about F1's worst (but best) kept secret - Bottas and Checo to Cadillac! We then dove straight into the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which was sure to deliver and was an exceptional way to welcome us back after the summer break. Oscar Piastri converted pole into victory, extending his championship lead and keeping McLaren on top. Lando Norris suffered a late-race retirement from P2, handing second place to Max Verstappen at home, while rookie Isack Hadjar secured a sensational first-ever Formula 1 podium in P3 for Racing Bulls.
Three Safety Cars, major incidents involving Hamilton, Leclerc, and Antonelli, and standout drives from George Russell, Alex Albon, and Ollie Bearman kept the field in constant flux. We also cover key news from the summer break, including Checo PĂŠrez and Valtteri Bottas contract confirmations, and react to some of the funniest driver moments off-track.
We wrap up with how the championship standings now look heading into Monza, with Piastri holding a commanding lead, plus our green flag/red flag.

Round 14 in Hungary gave us strategy battles, emotional radio messages, and a glimpse of shifting power in the paddock. In this weekâs episode, we recap a surprisingly tactical race at the newly upgraded Hungaroring...a.k.a âMonaco without the walls.â From the brand-new pit building to Alonso sitting out FP1 with a back injury, it was an unusual weekend from the start.
We unpack the shock of Max Verstappenâs terrible performance (starting P8 and finishing ninth), Leclercâs calm control from pole turning into radio rage, and the behind-the-scenes drama at McLaren as Norris and Piastri went head-to-head. McLaren secured their 200th F1 win and the fastest pit stop of the season... but were team orders the right call?
Off-track, we dig into Max confirming heâs staying at Red Bull, Fred Vasseurâs re-signing with Ferrari, and some cute moments in Pat's social corner, from âgirl dinnerâ memes to the F1 x 75th anniversary merch drop and Kimi Antonelliâs viral high school moment in that Adidas bomber.
Aston Martin scored their best result since Brazil 2023. Could this be a sign that "Adrian Newey" is already leaving his mark? We cover all that, plus our random moment of the week and green flag/red flag to close out the last race before summer break.

Itâs the Belgian Grand Prix, and what a weird, wet, and very delayed weekend it was!
We kick off with the big-picture take: is Spa still fit for modern Formula 1? Between constant rain delays and growing safety concerns, we debate whether one of the sportâs most iconic tracks still deserves its place on the calendar, or if tradition is holding F1 back.
In other news, it was the first Belgian GP without Christian Horner on the pit wall, with Laurent Mekies stepping in as team principal. The optics were noticeable, but did it make a difference?
Ferrariâs upgrades were disappointing to say the least, and Elle and Pat get into a fiery debate about Ferrari's current standing and their future. Are they just a mid-field team? Meanwhile, McLaren continues its charge: Oscar Piastri smashed the sprint shootout lap record, took pole, and extended his driversâ championship lead while also making a serious case as the teamâs true No.1.
We also touch on: The most stacked F1 jet ride to Spa (Alonso, Bearman, Piastri, Bortoleto and Bottas), Lance Stroll being Lance Stroll and a quick look ahead to Hungary GP this coming weekend. Plus a very exciting Green flag

The leaks. The statement. The WhatsApps. The âinternal investigation.â - ALLEGEDLY
In Part 2 of our Christian Horner deep dive, we get into the mess: the scandal that took over the F1 news cycle in 2024 and what it revealed about Red Bullâs inner workings.
We break down the crisis PR moves, the power struggles inside the team, and the paddock-wide reaction. From leaked messages to team infighting, this is the side of F1 that rarely gets talked about: influence, image, and control.
Who actually runs Red Bull Racing now? And how did we get here? And the real question is: what happens next?
Enjoy as we round up our deep dive into Mr Christian Horner

Itâs been one of the most dramatic off-track storylines in F1 history and weâre breaking it all down.
In Part 1 of our two-part deep dive, we track Christian Hornerâs full rise: from his early racing days, to founding Arden, to becoming Red Bullâs youngest Team Principal at just 31. We cover the Vettel era, the Max era, the titles, the power moves, and where the cracks started to show.
How did Horner become so powerful in Formula 1? And was it always destined to unravel?
This episode is all legacy, ego, dominance⌠and a few warning signs we probably shouldâve seen coming.
đ Stay tuned for Part 2: the scandal, the fallout, and his final days in the paddock.

The British Grand Prix delivered pure chaos! From formation lap confusion to a podium shock that left us asking: was it strategy or straight-up luck?
In this weekâs episode, we kick off with the biggest headlines making waves in the paddock. Alpine again being indecisive af, with Bottas and Doohan both in the mix, we unpack the rumours. Plus Francoâs new personal sponsorship with Claro might.. Meanwhile, Horner throws everyone with a curveball, naming Oscar Piastri as Red Bullâs top pick if Max walks away. And James Vowles firmly shuts down the whispers that heâs lining up to replace Toto at Mercedes.
Over in the social sphere, we talk Magui Corceiroâs Forbes 30 Under 30 moment, Martin Brundleâs very pointed Alpine comment to Franco, and Lewis Hamilton having a lovely and special moment with F1 commentator Naomi Schiff.
Then itâs all about the race and it did not disappoint. From lap one drama (the broadcast barely showed), to the never-ending safety car interruptions (couldâve been a drinking game), Silverstone was messy in all the best ways. Ollie Bearman delivered a standout qualifying performance only to cop a brutal 10-place penalty, Oscarâs race was derailed by a questionable call, and somehow, after 239 races and 8 teams, Nico HĂźlkenberg landed a podium. We get into it. Plus: Max off the podium, George getting louder on the radio, and Landoâs lucky grandstand⌠you be the judge.
A classic British GP with drama on and off the track. Letâs go.

From grid chaos to cat chat, the Austrian GP weekend delivered!!
This week, weâre breaking down everything from Carlos Sainz Sr.âs FIA step-back, to the F1 Movie smashing $144M in its opening weekend, and the Austrian GP sticking around until 2041 đ With our special guest (with Elle's absence) the lovely Dani Clarkson!!
Outside of the paddock? Lewis gave Franco a lift in his jet, Max went live to talk about his cat, and the drivers sat down for that pre-race dinner... who else saw this picture?
Then itâs race time... and it starts with Carlosâs car drama on the formation lap đŹ. We unpack the Kimi vs Max moment, Franco and Yukiâs incident, Gabrielâs points, and those never-ending rumours about Maxâs exit clause and Totoâs alleged moves.
It's chaos, gossip, and race talk, exactly how we like it.
