LawVS - The Ladder Man

Toto Wolff really should've secured GP before trying for Max.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a stunning coup, McLaren secured the right hand man of Max Verstappen. Gianpiero Lambiase has secured the role of Chief Racing Officer for the F1 team by the time 2028 rolls along, maybe even earlier! What does this all mean? Especially given the Verstappen camp gave him their blessing to join a rival team with full support.Ultimately, what does this all mean? Could this be a sign that Max has made his mind regarding Formula 1...or that he might have chosen his next team and it's NOT Mercedes?#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #gp #formulaone #f12026 #redbullracing #mclarenf1 #mclarenracing #zakbrown #totowolff #oscarpiastri #landonorris #f1news #f1updates #f1latest #f1teams #f1team #f1cars #f1car #f1drama #f1gossip Nobody's asking WHY Max blessed this movehttps://youtu.be/TUdYA8rd3wIGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Hosted on Acast.

Mercedes helped build rules that would invite (and humble) manufacturers.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsYears ago, Toto Wolff and Mercedes sought to secure their domination into the next era of Formula 1, after the turbo hybrid era had run its course. For 2026, two teams would arrive with Audi and Honda power in F1. One would struggle immediately and prove the Austrian right...and one wouldn't as much. Audi don't act like a completely new operation, much bigger than the Sauber team they inherited. Whilst glory isn't coming there imminently, Mattia Binotto and Neuberg have produced a power unit and operation which IS turning heads already. Hope for the future?Audi aren't struggling, folks...https://youtu.be/i_F0VJr-CpQ#f1 #audif1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #mattiabinotto #totowolff #hondaracing #astonmartinf1 #f1news #f1latest #f1review #f1opinions #f1updates #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Nobody cares about Liam Lawson. They should.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsOf course, you may remember the guy who didn't wanna make friends...but right now? He's putting in a lot of work for Racing Bulls, just behind Max Verstappen in the championship. However, it's gone by without much notice. Sure, F1's got a lot on its plate right now but this fact is probably a very inconvenient situation for Red Bull and Laurent Mekies. If Max DOES leave Formula 1 or STAYS, a decision will have to be made regarding Lawson.

V8 turbos with carbon neutral fuel? Maybe...but we don't get to say.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWord is that the FIA and teams realise these rules were too much, too soon.

Christian Horner made Toto Wolff untouchable...oops.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn this current arc of F1, the Mercedes team principal has made plenty of moves to get a type of Formula 1 that his group could thrive under...and with nobody powerful left to stop him politically, within the rules provided from the sport and the FIA. In hindsight, did Christian Horner or a figure LIKE him keep Toto in check? With Horner gone, Wolff seems unchecked...and he's proven to be quite a terrifying figure; keen to divide and conquer rather than remain the stoic observer of the peak of their feud with Red Bull.Whilst the tide IS turning back toward the 2026 regulations for Formula One being walked back, the framework is set.

Toto Wolff's grand master plan for 2026 could be about to unravel.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsUpon reflection, Mercedes' plan to dominate Formula 1 in the long term was conceived back in 2019 with their entry into Formula E...where none of their current rivals back then were competing. From there, a series of actions set in motion their political moves to frame the F1 2026 regulations toward the current model. However, their domination has not been as clean as expected. Ferrari and McLaren have shown flashes of competitiveness...and now the FIA is ready to make their move...albeit after Oliver Bearman's crash. #f1 #kimiantonelli #totowolff #georgerussell #formula1 #formulaone #maxverstappen #lewishamilton #michaelschumacher #f12026 #mercedesf1 #f1news #f1regulations #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1car #f1dramaThe 2026 regs are already on trial - for realhttps://youtu.be/W5Y5jwjLFlQCould these changes bring things back toward the competition alongside other adjustements to the 2026 ruleset?Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

George Russell may wind up having kept Hamilton's throne warm instead of claiming it.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRussell might still win this championship. He’s good enough... but if 2026 keeps making him look like the complicated one while Kimi Antonelli looks like the natural future of Mercedes, then George’s biggest fight may not be with his team-mate at all...it may be with Toto Wolff!,Not to mention a sense of trust and the feeling that perhaps this F1 team is fundamentally geared towards one side of the garage being somewhat the bearer of misfortune...and the public opinion of George doesn't help his case...but was he taught to act like that?

Aston Martin’s gone from horrific to embarrassing...not the best thing in the world but it's something.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAfter just three race weekends, Aston Martin and Honda have gotten a car across the line around Suzuka. The Japanese Grand Prix marked the moment when genuine progrees had been made thanks to Honda...and the excuses become more traditional. Gone are the mind-melting nerve damaging reports...and now just a case of finding power and pace. Could this wind up exposing Aston Martin's car in the long run as Honda fix their batteries and end the vibrations? Because Honda isn't letting Adrian Newey and Papa Stroll off the hook here.

It's more than just the car...or even the FIA for Max Verstappen.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe biggest mystery in F1 right now is the real motive as to why Max Verstappen feels weary with these Formula 1 regulations for 2026. Sure, his Red Bull RB22 isn't performing well AND he's made his feelings clear about the Formula One ruleset. For years now! However, instead of relying on pressuring in the way he's been doing up until now, the best way to insist drivers are listened to is to perhaps...not play the game?Today, I wanna discuss the idea that Max has changed tack on his feelings on the rules. That he doesn't feel comfortable or willing to hype up a series which he doesn't enjoy or believe in. How does Liberty Media and FOM respond to THAT?#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #fia #fiaf1 #fom #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #redbullracing #f1cars #f1teams #f1regulations #stefanodomenicali #f1drama #f1car #redbull #verstappen Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Max Verstappen won’t hype this version of F1https://youtu.be/gS-orpr0WHA Hosted on Acast.

I'm a patient ladder man...but I sense that we were all duped regarding 2026.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix set in motion a new conversation. That the regulations cannot be ignored in their current guise. The crash of Oliver Bearman and the lack of power Franco Colapinto highlighted an issue drivers have brough to the FIA and FOM's attention for MONTHS now. Even Haas' Ayao Komatsu spoke out...and Haas have every reason to like the F1 2026 ruleset.Thusly, it's important to think about the circumstances of these regs of Formula One...and how they have wound up being more political than environmental.

Blimey.

Despite more overtakes, the regulators saw their 2026 Formula 1 rules suffer the power starving nature of Suzuka...and a big crash. Is it time for the FIA to sit up even more and take note between now and Miami? Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli secured his second win of his career AND leads the championship for the first time, nine points ahead of Russell. No more senior-junior dynamic in Toto's team?

Max Verstappen had a good thing going...and then that happened.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a shock exchange, the journalist from Abu Dhabi 2025 which got stuck under Max Verstappen's craw comes back into the headlines. Not through another reductive question...but by just breathing the same air as the F1 driver. In that moment, it set a potential precedent. Whilst Max is going through a lot of trials and tribulations in Formula 1 right now with Red Bull and its car, the act has perhaps undone a lot of goodwill he had earned with netural Formula One fans.

The FIA responds to our collective worries about F1 qualifying.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsOne day before Formula 1 begins running the Japanese Grand Prix proper, the FIA has begun to implement their findings from the 2026 regulations from both testing and the opening two races.

Whilst Verstappen's loyalty isn't at question, his patience might be...and Formula One fans are feeling the bind he is in...which doesn't feel all that different to what Lewis Hamilton felt in 2022. And oh yes, his car is overweight too!But one thing's for sure. What the Red Bull car is dealing with, after going all in 2025, is a huge task to fix. #f1 #chinesegp #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #verstappen #redbullracing #fia #fiaf1 #fiawec #gt3 #mercedesgt3 #formula12026 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1cars #f1drivers #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Red Bull Have Built Verstappen a Horror Showhttps://youtu.be/vh9gTi1sQCUCan't watch the ladder?

As Max Verstappen doubles down on F1 2026 criticism, change will come soon.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFormula 1 may not be anti-racing...but it could be anti WEIRD racing. What the first two Formula One races proved is that there can be some good contests for position as long as the cars aren't starved for energy thanks to the pitfalls of superclipping. The Chinese Grand Prix provided hope for the 2026 regulations...but Japan may not be so kind. However, with five weeks of no racing, the rules could lead to a reduction of battery power and a 60/40 split going forward. Could more changes come in time to quell doubts in the sport and ease the growing fervour of the four-time champion Verstappen, right when the seven-time champ Lewis Hamilton says the new rules are giving him cars that he enjoys immensely?The debate has certainly gotten complicated.#f1 #maxverstappen #lewishamilton #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1cars #f1teams #f1rules #f1drivers #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #chinesegp #japanesegp Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

The Italian coming back from a frought sprint race to pole position for the F1 Chinese Grand Prix tomorrow BESTING George Russell by a decent margin. But Ferrari were not that far behind them and could prove to be mighty rivals in the race itself. McLaren were left notably behind but not nearly as troubled as Max Verstappen and Red Bull...with even Pierre Gasly giving them awkward truths.

What's gone on with Williams in what was meant to be THEIR year?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs2026 was supposed to be the year where James Vowles had a team and car which looked normal. Not a race winner or title favourite, but at least a noticeable continuation of their overperforming 2025 car. However, what's become clear is that the F1 team grossly overestimated the task at hand at building a Formula One car for these new regulations...despite preparing for this long. Whilst the equipment and facilities HAVE improved a lot since the dark days of 2022, it's still not enough. What does this mean for Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon, both having stuck with the team on the grounds of their massive overhaul. Now though? Their futures look rockier than just a few months ago. Let's talk about what's happened.#f1 #carlossainz #formula1 #alexalbon #formulaone #f12026 #formula12026 #williamsracing #williamsf1 #williamsf1team #jamesvowles #f1news #f1latest #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1car #f1drama #f1updates What The Hell Happened To Williams?https://youtu.be/hRDYBAme4toGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?
