223. Cadillac Just Stole Ford & Red Bull's Thunder
22:35||Season 3, Ep. 223Ford got beaten to the shakedown punch by GM in latest clap-back! Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith their Silverstone shakedown, General Motors and Cadillac ended their three-year long journey toward Formula 1. With them besting Ford to the punch in regards to getting an F1 car on the road with their name on the machine. With this in mind, what did we learn from the shakedown in terms of their overall game plan and future in the Formula One racing scene? Could Caddy make use of their connections to Formula E in this new era where battery management is more important than ever? Could that sport become a better place for youngsters to rise into F1 thanks to the importance of energy control?

222. Red Bull Finally Stopped Copy-Pasting Liveries
22:52||Season 3, Ep. 222At last! Red Bull changed their livery...and it's beautiful.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe first launch event of F1 2026 kicked off in Detroit...and we saw a miracle: a Red Bull Racing car NOT in matte paint. Instead, a very detailed and shiny design mixing old and new as well as highlighting the partnership with Ford in a way that had never been emulated with Honda (except for the white bulls). The RB22, piloted by Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar, looked wonderful and the team looked extremely optimistic for the Formula 1 season ahead.As that was going the Racing Bulls VCARB03 launched...to a less favourable read. It was OK, but not as striking as last year. However, their presentation was very impressive and gave us a sign that this team definitely takes pride in its Gen Z and Alpha embracing.#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #christianhorner #laurentmekies #isackhadjar #f1news #f1drivers #f1teams #f1launch #f1updates #f1drama #rb22 #vcarb03 #vcarb #liamlawson #arvidlindblad #f1carlaunch Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

221. Ford and Cadillac Are Shading Each Other in F1
24:21||Season 3, Ep. 221Oh boy. Cadillac and Ford are causing drama about their F1 teams.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAs 2026 begins, the main reps of Ford and General Motors' Formula 1 teams involvements have begun to shout at each other regarding which is the more committed party. Cadillac says that them starting from scratch and relying on the human side of the sport to tell their tale whilst Ford goes for engineering displays as well as tugging on Drive to Survive heartstrings...which is the right approach?

220. Max Verstappen Was Right About McLaren Again
22:27||Season 3, Ep. 220Max Verstappen laments Oscar Piastri's situation, thinking the Aussie has "sold his soul".Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a rather blunt take, Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen views the Italian Grand Prix pass allowing Lando Norris back ahead of the Australian McLaren driver was something he himself would never do. However, it's a little too harsh and out of touch. Here, Max talks what happens when a team already has a clear king...but McLaren are terrified of accidentally crowning the wrong king. Is it fair of Verstappen to say this or is there truth to it? Honestly? Oscar's still figuring it out.#f1 #maxverstappen #oscarpiastri #formula1 #redbullracing #mclarenf1team #mclarenf1 #mclaren #landonorris #f1teams #f1drivers #formulaone #f12026 #redbullf1 #redbull #verstappen #piastri #norris #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #formula12026 #f1drama #papayarules Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

219. Aston Martin Slows Own Hype Train on Purpose
22:57||Season 3, Ep. 219Honda walks back their initial hype with Aston Martin...but maybe this is for the best.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsHonda Racing's Koji Watanabe has shared that "not everything is going well" with the engine project with Aston Martin. However, it has the means to overcome the challenge. Even though many believe the team of Lawrence Stroll will be the disruptor to the F1 order...you sense that now the time has come to deliver, the team is walking back its potenital for 2026 and instead pointing to 2027, the year where everything should come good. So say Adrian Newey...at the prefect time to sway the likes of Charles Leclerc perhaps alongside an age-defying Fernando Alonso?#f1 #fernandoalonso #formula1 #charlesleclerc #lancestroll #formulaone #f12026 #formula12026 #astonmartinf1 #astonmartin #f1news #adriannewey #f1latest #f1teams #f1drivers #f1updates #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Aston Martin Slows Down Their Own Hype Trainhttps://youtu.be/7an4fTLgRlgCan't watch the ladder?

218. Audi Just Won F1 2026's First Race WITH STYLE
24:29||Season 3, Ep. 218Audi were the first F1 team to get a 2026 car out onto an ACTUAL track. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsEven though the shakedown wasn't about lap time and the Formula 1 car Audi brought to Barcelona was a very basic car, the act of testing and it going smoothly is the first test the team passed with flying colours. The test regarding professionalism after two green years which looked NOT professional is a huge turnaround which has been acclaimed by many Formula 1 fans. Mattia Binotto and Jonathan Wheatley have given Audi a platform in which to build a strong foundation, all the way down to their visual language.#f1 #audif1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #audi #mattiabinotto #nicohulkenberg #gabrielbortoleto #f1news #f1latest #f1testing #f1drama #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?
