The Las Vegas Grand Prix gave us everything: controversy, shock disqualifications and a massive twist in the championship fight. This week on Paddock 43, we break down McLaren’s double disqualification and what it really means for Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and the rest of the drivers’ standings. We dig into Max Verstappen’s Vegas win, how it sets up Red Bull heading into the final rounds, and who we actually think will become the 2025 Drivers’ Champion.

We also get into Mercedes and why Kimi Antonelli was our Driver of the Day, and Pat drops a very bold prediction about George Russell.

To wrap, we look ahead to the Qatar GP, make some spicy predictions, and talk about how this weekend could shape the final showdown in Abu Dhabi, and of course we wrap it up with our Green Flag and Red Flag. 🏁 Welcome to Paddock 43 – The Formula 1 Podcast That Keeps It Real!
