Think you know F1 tyres? Think again.
In this episode of Paddock 43, we dive deep into one of Formula 1’s most overlooked, but absolutely crucial topics: tyres. From how different compounds work and what the new 2025 tyre compositions mean for the season, to how teams use tyre strategy to win (or lose) races, we break it all down in a way that actually makes sense.
We chat about why tyre management can make or break a Grand Prix, how many tyres teams are allowed to use, what happens to used sets after race weekend, and how tyre wars have shaped F1 history. Whether you’re new to the sport or a lifelong fan, this episode will finally make you understand why everyone’s obsessed with “the undercut.”
👉 Tune in, learn something new, and see F1 strategy in a whole new light.
