Paddock 43: An F1 Podcast

Kimi Antonelli has won Formula One’s first race at the Madring—but should it have been Lando Norris’s victory? Kimi now has an incredible eight wins from his first 38 F1 starts, surpassing George Russell’s seven wins. But after producing one of the best qualifying laps of his career, Lando controlled the Spanish Grand Prix until a badly timed Virtual Safety Car and a seven-second pit stop changed everything. In this episode of Paddock 43, Elle breaks down: • Why Lando’s Madrid pole lap was so impressive • How the Virtual Safety Car handed Kimi the advantage • Why overtaking was almost impossible at the Madring • The 46 deleted lap times during FP2 • Lance Stroll’s disastrous 2026 season • Whether the circuit was genuinely ready • The reported theft of 300 metres of electrical cable • Fernando Alonso’s uncertain Aston Martin future • The latest information surrounding the 2027 F1 calendar • Wimbledon, influencers and who deserves access to major sporting events Plus, Elle shares a personal update about working with GM, off-roading in Tasmania and booking a trip to the Singapore Grand Prix. Do you think Lando deserved to win? And does the Madring need major changes before Formula One returns?

Eat your pasta, you will drive fasta. 🇮🇹 The 2026 Italian Grand Prix gave us one of the wildest weekends of the F1 season, with Kimi Antonelli charging from P19 to win his home Grand Prix at Monza and becoming the first Italian driver to win the Italian GP in 60 years. Elle is solo this week to unpack everything that happened at the Temple of Speed: Pierre Gasly's incredible maiden pole for Alpine, how the Monza tow actually works, Charles Leclerc's huge Parabolica crash and the eerie similarities to 2020, Mercedes' strategy and the battle between Kimi and George Russell, Max Verstappen's return to the podium and McLaren's difficult weekend. Plus, Sebastian Vettel gets behind the wheel of Michael Schumacher's Ferrari, Lando Norris becomes a team boss with LN4 Fusion, Aston Martin has a weekend to forget, and we look at what Monza means for the 2026 F1 World Championship. Eat pasta. Drive fasta.

This week, Elle is joined by two legends from very different corners of Formula 1: F1 commentator Cameron Van Den Dungen and FIA Formula 1 Medical Car driver and former Supercars driver Karl Reindler. Cam and Karl are also long-time friends, former neighbours and former radio co-hosts, so this episode quickly turns into story time. We hear how Cam went from racing to calling Formula 1 and working on the pilot of Drive to Survive, while Karl shares stories from his career and life inside the F1 paddock. We get their honest opinions on the season, sprint races, Oscar Piastri’s future, Daniel Ricciardo’s decision to leave Red Bull, Liam Lawson, Max Verstappen, George Russell, Lance Stroll and whether Formula 1 is losing the integrity of the racing while trying to entertain a new audience. We also have an important conversation about women in motorsport, why so many talented girls leave during the transition from karting to cars and why it has been far too long since Formula 1 had a female driver. Then it’s game time: Cam and Karl go head-to-head to discover who really knows their F1 drivers better. 🏁 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!

Esme Buxton didn't come up through motorsport — she came up through fashion, shooting editorials and film sets, until a headshoot with F1 presenter Laura Winter turned into a question she couldn't shake: why doesn't a proper fashion-and-culture magazine for F1 exist? So she built it. In under 18 months, The Paddock Journal went from a Substack to millions of monthly views and a sold-out print annual — all shot by an all-female team inside the paddock. We get into the rise of print in a digital sport, the "two ecosystems" pulling F1 in different directions, whether the paddock is becoming too elitist (and why Le Mans might be the real racing fan's race), the Atelier, staying independent while the big brands circle, and her advice for anyone waiting for permission to start: stop asking for the playbook.

Pat's away this week, so it's a solo one from Elle. First up, an apology and an explanation: no episode after Silverstone because a certain trackside glamping situation and a David Guetta set got the better of her. From there it's a proper catch-up, Red Bull's factory in Milton Keynes and their NASA-built control room, Goodwood Festival of Speed, the McLaren Technology Centre, and a very stressful near-miss getting stuck in Abu Dhabi on the way home. Then it's into the Belgian Grand Prix. Grid penalty carnage before the race even started, a lap one collision between Russell and Hamilton, and Kimi Antonelli hunting down Leclerc for his sixth win of the season. Elle runs through the full, genuinely mind-blowing list of records Antonelli has broken this year, from youngest polesitter in F1 history to the current state of his championship math against Russell and Hamilton. Plus a quick word on Aston Martin's driver lineup and whether change is coming. Topics covered: British GP recap, Red Bull HQ, Goodwood FOS, McLaren Technology Centre, Abu Dhabi travel chaos, Belgian GP grid penalties, Spa GP race recap, Kimi Antonelli 2026 records, F1 2026 championship standings, Aston Martin driver talk Follow along and get in touch with any questions for the next episode. 🏁 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!

The Austrian Grand Prix may have just changed the entire Formula 1 season. George Russell returned to the top step, but the biggest story might actually be Red Bull. After months of chasing Mercedes and Ferrari, Max Verstappen finally had a car capable of fighting for victory again. Is this the comeback we've been waiting for? Meanwhile, Ferrari's highly anticipated upgrade package completely missed the mark, Kimi Antonelli left Austria wondering what could have been after another incredibly quick weekend, Oscar Piastri bounced back in style, and Lando Norris endured another frustrating race. In this episode of Paddock 43, we break down all the biggest winners, losers, surprises and talking points from the 2026 Austrian Grand Prix, plus what it all means heading into the next round of the Formula 1 season.

Kimi Antonelli extends his championship lead with a dominant Monaco Grand Prix victory, but the result only tells half the story.

The Canadian Grand Prix delivered absolute chaos, and this week I’m flying solo to break it all down. Mercedes had the fastest car all weekend, but somehow walked away with heartbreak after George Russell’s race-leading car failed on lap 30, handing victory straight to teammate Kimi Antonelli. Four wins in a row, 43 points clear in the championship, and suddenly the 19-year-old looks unstoppable. I also dive into the growing tension inside Mercedes after a fiery Sprint battle between Russell and Antonelli, Toto Wolff’s brutal radio message, and whether this rivalry is about to become a real problem for the team. Plus, Lewis Hamilton finally delivers Ferrari’s best result of the season after an incredible move around the outside of Max Verstappen, McLaren completely imploded with strategy disasters and a Norris DNF, Oscar Piastri finishes outside the points, and the championship picture shifts in a massive way after Montreal.

The 2026 F1 season keeps delivering headlines and we’re unpacking all of it ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix. Kimi Antonelli arrives in Montreal leading the championship after an unbelievable three wins from three pole positions at just nineteen years old. Ferrari is reportedly reverse-engineering its own car after a “soul-destroying” Miami weekend. Max Verstappen spent 24 hours driving a Mercedes at the Nürburgring and somehow finished P38. Charles Leclerc has taken delivery of a $20 million Riva superyacht… named after himself, naturally. And Lewis Hamilton was spotted leaving Kim Kardashian’s Broadway production hand-in-hand with Kim herself.

F1 is (ALMOST) BACK after a five-week break… and somehow, it seems as though its returning as a completely different sport with the updated 2026 regulations In this episode of Paddock 43, we break down the FIA’s early tweaks to the 2026 F1 rules, from energy management changes and increased power deployment to new race start safety systems and wet weather adjustments. After just three races, F1 is already refining the future of the sport… so will it change much or not? We also unpack the biggest story heading into the Miami GP: can Mercedes maintain their dominance, or is the gap finally closing? With McLaren bringing a new car, Ferrari chasing performance, and Red Bull stuck in the midfield, this could be a turning point in the 2026 season. And finally… it’s official. The Turkish Grand Prix is returning to Formula 1 with a confirmed 5-year deal from 2027. We talk about why Istanbul Park is one of the best tracks on the calendar — and what this says about F1’s future direction. If you’re into Formula 1 news, 2026 regulation changes, F1 rumours, and race analysis, this is the episode for you. 🏁 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!
