    Helmut Marko is poised to be ousted from Red Bull. What does that mean for Max Verstappen?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a surprise twist AFTER the 2025 F1 season was won by Lando Norris, Red Bull Racing's special advisor Helmut Marko is set to be removed from involvement with the Formula 1 team for its 2026 campaign. The specifics are not yet clear. Will he retire fully or be relegated into something far less frontline such as the Formula One paddock. What happened? Has Isack Hadjar been spared a tense 2026?Well, quite a lot. The last few weeks packed with controversial driver contracts and ragebait toward Kimi Antonelli after the Qatar GP. Will Max care about this?#f1 #redbullracing #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #helmutmarko #f1drama #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #redbullf1 #redbull #verstappen #yukitsunoda #sergioperez #checoperez #checo #f12026 #laurentmekies The Old Red Bull Is Gone For Goodhttps://youtu.be/Fiwyjq5Dd_YGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

  • 195. Lando Norris Let His Guard Down Before F1’s Final Showdown

    23:02||Season 3, Ep. 195
    The intense FIA press conference before Abu Dhabi gave us a lot to work with.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsPutting Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri was going to be interesting; and the world was not disappointed. Norris let his guard down with honest answers whilst Piastri and Verstappen were a lot more closed off. Was this a ploy by Lando to show his hand and clear the air or was this useful intel for his main rivals going into the 2025 F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The first end round finale we've had since 2021. What else did we learn?#f1 #maxverstappen #landonorris #oscarpiastri #formula1 #formulaone #abudhabigp #abudhabigrandprix #f12025 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1news #f1drama #f1drivers #f1teams #norris #piastri #verstappen #mclarenf1 #mclarenf1team #redbullracing Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

  • 194. Toyota OFFICIALLY Returns To Formula One

    24:37||Season 3, Ep. 194
    In a shock move, Toyota's name shall grace an F1 team for the first since 2009.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsYes, it's not a full-on works team, but Toyota Gazoo Racing has stepped up its collaboration with Haas to transform Gene's team into TGR Haas F1 Team for the 2026 Formula One season. This is more than a simple increase in Toyota stickers on the car; but the pinnacle of what's been going on for the last 12 months or so. The realisation of a proper driver program in the junior formulae AND the success of Haas having a proper test team in Japan with access to Fuji Speedway AND finally having its own simulator, not having to borrow stuff from Ferrari so much anymore.But the question is, when will Haas remove the prancing horse from its equation? Does it need to? Can it manage two titans of motorsport in the same room?Toyota OFFICIALLY Returns To Formula Onehttps://youtu.be/OJN__Q0sRjM#f1 #toyotagazooracing #formula1 #formulaone #toyotaf1 #toyota #haas #haasf1team #scuderiaferrari #ferrarif1 #ferrari #f12026 #f1news #f1latest #f1drama #f1updates #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #hitechtgr #tgrhaas Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

  • 193. Yuki Tsunoda OUT, Isack Hadjar IN

    24:21||Season 3, Ep. 193
    It's over. Yuki Tsunoda is out of Red Bull Racing...at least their main lineup.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a surprise move, Yuki Tsunoda is NOT out of a job in F1, but has been moved off into a third driver, testing sort of a role. Part of the RB family, but not a main man. Meanwhile, the expected lineup of Isack Hadjar moving up to join Max Verstappen and Arvid Lindblad stepping into Racing Bulls played out as expected. As for Liam Lawson? He survives to race another season of Formula 1...but is this with the aim to LEAVE Red Bull in due course?

We're going to Abu Dhabi.Climb the ladder with me over on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWhat should've been a steady securing of his first world title, Lando Norris now finds himself HAVING to secure a top 3 finish next time out after the Qatar GP threw himself and Oscar Piastri a curveball...by their own team. For a second time in as many races. As that happened, Max Verstappen led seventeen drivers to an early stop behind the Safety Car with the title very much on the line.Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz secured fifth the best of the rest accolade for Williams as Isack Hadjar spectacularly crashed out of the points and Oliver Bearman just crashed out.Who else won, lost or were just plain meh at the Qatar Grand Prix?#f1 #qatargp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #qatargrandprix #maxverstappen #carlossainz #f1predictions #predictions #redbullracing #mclaren #mclarendsq #redbull #f12025 #formula12025 #oscarpiastri #verstappen #landonorris #mclaren #f1teams #f1drama The 2025 F1 Qatar Grand Prix WINNERS & LOSERShttps://youtu.be/KWrf1k8XSe0🐦 https://twitter.com/LawVSX🕚 https://tiktok.com/@lawvsf1🧵 https://threads.net/@lawvsx#f1 #qatargp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #qatargrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #mclaren #landonorris #redbull #f12024 #formula12024 #verstappen #norris #sergioperez #perez #zhou #f1drama #fia
