WTH McLaren?! Piastri vs Norris, Williams’ Fire & Alpine’s Doohan Drama | Singapore GP 2025 Recap

Elle’s solo and she’s raging.
This week on Paddock 43, it’s a one-woman debrief on the Singapore Grand Prix — and McLaren have her stress-eating an Oscar Piastri burger at 9AM.

From Williams literally catching fire 🔥 to Alpine dropping Jack Doohan 💔 and McLaren’s “Papaya Rules” chaos 🍊 — this episode dives into everything that went down on and off track.

Elle breaks down:
🏎️ Why Williams’ disqualification ruined a potential points haul
🧯 What really happened with Albon’s car fire and the DRS ruling
🧠 Why Alpine’s Flavio Briatore has ruled Doohan out for 2026 (and what that says about F1 culture)
🍔 McLaren’s fairness obsession — and why Elle thinks they’ve built a “no-fun, no-freedom” culture that’s hurting Oscar Piastri
💬 Listener voice notes calling out McLaren’s team decisions
💚 A shoutout to George Russell’s redemption drive
🇦🇺 And why Elle’s proud (and heartbroken) for Australia’s F1 stars right now

It’s unfiltered, emotional, and very, very Australian.. or just Elle
