The Qatar Grand Prix blew the championship wide open, and with one race left, everything comes down to the fallout from one moment: the Lap 7 Safety Car. We break down how that decision and the chaos that followed may have cost Oscar Piastri the entire championship. We dive deep into the Lando vs Oscar tension, McLaren’s strategy roulette, and whether team orders should have been used. Plus: how Max Verstappen managed to turn Qatar into a massive advantage heading into the final round. We also unpack the penalties, the tyre drama, and the midfield surprises that no one saw coming. And of course a very big kudos to Carlos Sainz. This is your ultimate Qatar GP debrief; messy, dramatic, hilarious, and full of receipts as we head into what could be the wildest championship finale in years! 🏁 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!
