This week on Paddock 43 we unpack one of the wildest (and longest) weekends Formula 1 has seen this year. The Baku GP delivered pure chaos with six red flags, heartbreak for Oscar Piastri, and Carlos Sainz calling it “the best podium of my career” after Williams pulled off a smooth operation. Plus some slightly insane conspiracy theories around Lando Norris.

Off-track, the gossip was just as juicy:

Hadjar rumoured as Max Verstappen’s 2026 teammate

Arvid potentially joining Racing Bulls (and what this means for Liam Lawson or Yuki Tsunoda)

Azerbaijan GP extended to 2030

Lando Norris in British Vogue and liking an OnlyFans model’s page 👀

Private jets to Baku

Charles Leclerc’s brain data being stolen and the story of Carlos & Charles renting a van after their plane diverted mid-flight

Plus, we talk Laura Villar’s run for FIA president, unicorn Carlos fans, and how the championship maths prove Max no longer needs McLaren DNFs to seal the title.

It’s messy, chaotic, and absolutely unmissable.
