    Russell Robbed, Antonelli Dominates & McLaren Implode | Canada GP 2026

    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. Five rounds in… and its getting exciting!! 🏁 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!

    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.

The Turkish Grand Prix is returning to Formula 1 with a confirmed 5-year deal from 2027.
