Hola amigos y amigas! Welcome back to the Paddocks.
The vibes are immaculate at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, where thin air meets high drama. From rookie chaos to spicy strategy calls, this race had everything: heartbreaks, fiestas, and a few questionable FIA moments (shocker).
We’re breaking down all the action from start to finish — including circuit changes, special Dia de Los Muertos tributes, and some iconic helmets.
Then we dive into the on-track madness: Max on grass, Lewis’s penalties, Carlos’s pitlane speed runs, and Ollie Bearman’s standout drive that had us emotional by the final lap. Plus, McLaren’s papaya power continues as Lando storms to victory and takes the championship lead.
So grab your guac, crank up the volume, and join us as we unpack every chaotic, hilarious, and heartwarming moment from the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix.
Welcome back to the Paddock Girls Podcast, where we’re deep in the heart of Texas for the 2025 United States Grand Prix! The Circuit of the Americas never disappoints, and this year’s race brought enough chaos to fill a cowboy hat.
From strategy bluffs and black-and-white flags galore to a McLaren meltdown in the sprint and Ferrari heartbreak (again), Austin delivered pure F1 drama. We’re breaking down everything from the wild qualifying sessions to the race that had fans yelling “what in the world” every other lap.
We’ve got hot takes on the special liveries, our favorite (and least favorite) helmets, cowboy Lewis, and the chaos that unfolded on track. Plus, we unpack that Carlos-Kimi collision, Charles’ masterclass in defending, and all the spicy updates heading into Mexico.
Hosted by Melissa, Amy, and Rachel.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Paddocks! This episode, we're covering the Singapore Grand Prix and everything that went down. We're talking pre-weekend updates from the teams, helmet designs we loved, and of course, the racing itself. There was plenty to cover.
Right now, we're gearing towards the end of the season, and the racing is getting FUN. Sassy drivers that are no longer holding back, another constructor championship has come to an end, and there's drama in house Papaya; we could go on. We did actually.

Welcome back to the Paddock Girls Book Club! This time, we’re diving into For The Thrill Of It All by Elliana Rose, a sports romance packed with family ties, fake dating, F1 drama, and plenty of sweet moments.
We break down Lucia’s “yes era,” Alexander’s reformed bad boy energy, Matteo’s party vibes, and all the side characters that made this story feel alive. From tropes we loved (hello one-bed and best friend’s little sister) to (what we think is) mafia undertones we weren’t expecting, this book gave us plenty to laugh and debate about.
Was Alexander secretly Lewis Hamilton-coded? Could this be a dream romance read for both Hallmark fans and F1 fans? We’ve got all the hot takes, the chaos, and our honest ratings.
