Paddock 43: An F1 Podcast

PS: We recommend WATCHING this episode!
 
In this episode of Paddock 43, we’re joined by LEGO Master and Ambassador Andrew to talk all things LEGO x Formula
We chat about how LEGO’s partnership with F1 came to life, what it’s like being involved in such an iconic crossover, and we get hands-on building mini F1 cars during the episode (chaos included). Andrew also takes us inside one of LEGO’s most iconic collector pieces, the Ferrari F2004, celebrating Michael Schumacher and one of the most dominant cars in F1 history. We also did a cheeky little competition, any guesses who won?
As always, we couldn’t resist a little paddock gossip, touching on the Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton rumours and touching on the Cadillac livery and more guesses about the 2026 season.
A fun, creative and slightly chaotic episode that blends F1, pop culture and LEGO magic.

Paddock 43 is BACK!!

Obviously, not a whole heap is going on in the F1 world, so we thought we would take you to our backyard... the AusGP circuit! We discuss what we expect for the upcoming 2026 F1 season, our thoughts on the liveries we have seen thus far, and a discussion of the little things that popped up over the F1 season break.

A little Christmas message to our lovely listeners from Pat before we re-ignite the chat about 2026 regulations.

Last episode of the season until we recommence before pre-season testing!!

The FIA’s 2026 Formula 1 regulations are here... and they’re massive. Smaller cars, active aero, 50/50 hybrid power, and fully sustainable fuel will change the sport forever. In this Paddock 43 mini, we break down what’s coming, why the rules matter, and how it will shape the grid from Mercedes and Ferrari to Red Bull. Whether you’re a die-hard F1 fan or planning your first trip to Albert Park, this is everything you need to know before the biggest reset since 2014. 🏁 Welcome to Paddock 43 – The Formula 1 Podcast That Keeps It Real!

The season finale gave us EVERYTHING. Lando Norris is your new Formula 1 World Champion, Max defends with everything he has, Charles goes full send, and Oscar Piastri closes out one of the best seasons we’ve ever seen from an Aussie, even if it didn’t end in a win.

In this episode, we break down Abu Dhabi GP. Lando becoming World Drivers Champion, Max’s defensive heroics, Leclerc’s late-race surge, and Oscar’s season-long brilliance that turned him into a future World Champion in waiting. 🏁 Welcome to Paddock 43 – The Formula 1 Podcast That Keeps It Real!

Qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has set the stage for an absolutely wild final race of the season.
Max Verstappen on pole.
Lando Norris P2.
Oscar Piastri just behind and Australians were staying up for this one.
We break down everything from quali, why this track is traditionally won from the front row, how a single safety car could flip it, and whether this race has already been decided before lights out.
We also cover:
    •    the Lewis Hamilton crash in FP3 and spin in Q1
    •    McLaren team dynamics
    •    Constructors money battles
    •    The final race ever with DRS before the X-Mode/Z-Mode era begins in 2026
This is the championship decider. Anything can happen in Abu Dhabi tonight.
🎧 Listen now before the race.
Based on live reactions recorded straight after quali.
