## Resource

In this episode of From The Paddock, hosts Alex and Lydia explore why Max Verstappen’s podium result at the Canadian Grand Prix was the unhappiest of his career so far. Verstappen has had issues with the 2026 Red Bull Racing Formula 1 car and the new FIA regulations this season and has struggled to get results in driver standings, with the race in Montreal being his first podium so far this season. Alex and Lydia also take a look at the fine George Russell was given for removing the headrest of his Mercedes F1 car after breaking down during the Grand Prix and whether or not the FIA should police these incidents. Finally, the team break down what each individual Pirelli tyre compounds are, how they work and when they get used and why the wrong choice cost McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Pastry during the race in Montreal.
