In an interview with F1 podcast Up To Speed, Haas Formula 1 driver Oliver Bearman recalled the actions of Franco Colapinto and deemed them "unacceptable". His interview started to show me a pattern forming. One which we saw with Yuki Tsunoda, Liam Lawson and Lance Stroll last year. Drivers with less standing in Formula One and whose jobs are far less secure are seeing narrative blowback done to them from this driver.


Is Ollie Bearman the villain here? No, he's got his own cause to fight for: a Ferrari seat. However, this stance is a very precarious one considering the evidence from Suzuka doesn't really back him up; nor did his team boss or the FIA...not even the telemetry could.

  • 62. F1 has weeks to decide what 2027 looks like

    25:01||Season 4, Ep. 62
    The tide is turning in F1 already. 2027 looks different.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsJust days before Formula 1 kicks off again in Miami, there is greater talk of major changes coming for 2027...and McLaren is calling them out against their own supplier! Meanwhile, the commercial arm of Formula One claims there are no problems...yet even the FIA suggests the changes for the Miami Grand Prix won't see major changes to the formula and the racing.I think that's a problem, folks. What does this all mean for Mercedes. They and FOM are rapidly losing the argument for the 50/50 2026. Even Audi didn't want it!F1 2026 is already being walked backhttps://youtu.be/Ug8B7v_zTY4#f1 #georgerussell #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #formula12026 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1gossip #f1teams #f1regulations #f1team #f1car #f1cars #f1drama #f1racing

    The F1 CEO just put his OTHER foot in it. On camera.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsJust hours after the FIA and other parties met to fix the F1 regulations for 2026, its CEO Stefano Domenicali came out and said there was nothing to fix. No problems here.And in terms of lessons learned, only two. That the manufacturers had too much influence on the Formula 1 engines (V8 turbos inbound, folks) and that the drivers talked too much. Oh. With the media giving them too much attention. Ah.This wasn't a very smart move, mate.#f1 #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1gossip #f1drama #f12026 #f1regulations #f1rules #f1teams #f1team #fia #fiaf1 F1's CEO wants the drivers to shut uphttps://youtu.be/poBzMS7xQVsGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff

    Fernando Alonso stopped defending his team weeks ago! Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsA quote from the F1 driver during the Chinese Grand Prix has resurfaced from Fernando Alonso...and it completely adds new complexity to the story between Aston Martin and Honda. The Spanish Formula 1 driver recalls how back in 2015, when Honda were also in trouble, many looked to his comments more than everyone else...even though his teammates were saying the exact same thing.That alone tells you that he is not prepared to tow the line his team is towing...he is going off script and will not become the voice of Aston's Formula One struggles with Honda! And Honda themselves? It gives more understanding about their situation...and how they've been telling the truth the whole time!#f1 #fernandoalonso #formula1 #astonmartin #astonmartinf1 #adriannewey #formulaone #f12026 #fiaregulations #f1regulations #f1news #f1latest #japanesegp #f1updates #f1teams #f1cars #f1drivers #f1drama #honda #hondaf1 Alonso stopped defending Aston WEEKS agohttps://youtu.be/CMTHBJQmVrI

    Seems like being a world champ has less impact these days.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAnother day, another Guardian journalist involved with an F1 driver. This time around, Lando Norris was asked about his thoughts on the F1 2026 regulations and he was prevented from doing so by his own managers. Why? In a twist, that encounter was published along with the original article about Norris winning a prestigious award, the Laureus. On a joyful day, Lando's mood surely was ruined. It also adds a brief glimpse into the world of Formula One drivers and how much control there is over them in 2026. So many layers, so much yapping to do!#f1 #landonorris #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1regulations #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #mclarenf1team #mclaren #mclarenf1 #norris #f1cars #f1car #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1gossip #f1drama The F1 world champion SHUT DOWN by his own staff!https://youtu.be/USEL8LwbzVE
  • 58. F1 just ganged up on Mercedes and nobody said it

    22:33||Season 4, Ep. 58
    Well, well! A rarity. All parties AGREED on changes to F1 2026.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a very unexpected twist, every party involved agreed to "refinements" to the Formula 1 2026 regulations in a vote managed by the FIA. Even Toto Wolff and Mercedes agreed to changes which do affect energy management quite a bit more than the team hoped for. Why? Because there might be a bigger encounter to prepare for in due course. The ADUO.At the same time, this successful ruling and the changes planned in time for Miami and beyond do prove something to a tune that will please Max Verstappen. They are a start, but will they be enough to appease the Formula One driver and fans irate with the rules? We shall see, but hey! At least the drivers were heard this time. #f1 #totowolff #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1regulations #fiaf1 #fia #formula12026 #f1news #f1latest #f1rules #f1updates #f1drivers #f1driver #f1teams #f1team #f1car #f1cars #f1gossip #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffF1 just ganged up on Mercedes and nobody said ithttps://youtu.be/nSH4VB7O3es

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a fascinating interview with the High Performance podcast, former Ferrari team boss Jean Todt revealed some fascinating tidbits regarding the relationship between the Scuderia and two of F1's most powerful drivers of the 1990s: Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna.Had things played out slightly differently, both men's legacies within Formula 1 could've been rather different.

    As F1 scrambles for a quick fix to their 2026 cars, Formula E's about to throw a party!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIt's clear that Formula 1 in 2026 isn't quite sure what it wants to be, after massive consumer backlash and concerns from its own drivers. Meetings are being held to figure out how to pivot away from the 50-50 split in due course, back to more focus on the combustion engine. How long will take take? It depends on the manufacturers like Mercedes, Ferrari and Audi and Honda.On the other side, Formula E is about to release is fourth-generation machine to the world around Paul Ricard. After over a decade of development, THIS is the ultimate electric racing car...and it looks amazing. And oh yes! Its speeds are getting ever closer to F1. I would call this an embarassing moment form Formula One...and maybe a sign of moving away from electrification; so as to have two premium single seater motorsports under FIA governance.F1's being EMBARRASED by the Batmobilehttps://youtu.be/ffn8cxL5gxI#f1 #formula1 #formulae #f12026 #gen4 #formula12026 #formulaerace #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1cars #f1car #f1gossip #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff
