Show Notes
This week on Paddock 43 we cover the big talking points in Formula 1. Williams have successfully overturned their Dutch GP penalty in a rare right of review... what does this mean for the team and the sport? We also dive into Adidas linking up with Audi, plus the social buzz from Charlotte and Lorenzo Leclerc's wedding. And of course, we’ve got your Azerbaijan Grand Prix primer, everything you need to know before the race in Baku.

More from Paddock 43: An F1 Podcast
James Coker joins Elle to talk F1 fandom, why he stepped away from WTF1, and the realities of making motorsport content. Plus: did McLaren favour Lando, is Oscar Piastri’s Grill’d burger cursed, and what will Kimi Antonelli do in Austin? Honest opinions, US Grand Prix predictions and an unexpectedly passionate burger review.
Back from Singapore, and I think Lewis got the gamble wrong, McLaren’s collision was unnecessary, and Kim Kardashian handled her PR brilliantly. Plus: Max’s first Singapore win, my Zone 1 Walkabout experience, F1’s return to Africa and what the V8 comeback actually means.
What actually happened in Malaysia? F1 journalist and On the Grid author Luke Smith joins Elle to explain the software chaos, what he heard in the paddock and why testing missed the problem. With over a decade covering F1, Luke breaks down the regulations, the fix and what comes next—plus Singapore tips and the latest calendar discussion.
Franco’s Baku mistake deserved more than five grid places, in my opinion. But the abuse that followed online? Absolutely not.
