LawVS - The Ladder Man

With the title in the bag. What's next for Lando Norris? Prove his point harder!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith 2025 all over and done with, Lando Norris' future in F1 is the heart of many discussions. Where will we go after McLaren or will he ride with them forever...either in the 2030s on before the 2020s are over and done? Lando Norris' interview with the BBC was quite a curious piece. Joking that it was 'downhill from here'. Whilst said in jest, he's not wrong. Having the Monaco and Silverstone Grand Prix in the same year, there isn't much left to do for the typical Formula 1 driver...but Lando isn't typical.Winning more races and Formula One championships his way could redefine what upcoming racers see as the definition of success and glory in single seaters. The McLaren driver could have a major impact on said future...if not? No matter, he says.Lando Norris Won.

Max Verstappen likes what he's hearing whilst Ford is ready to roll with Red Bull!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn the last couple of weeks, Red Bull-Ford Powertrians has gained HEAPS of credibility. Not only for pioneering a technique which only the title-favourites Mercedes have seized, but also doing so underneath a cost cap situation for the 2026 F1 regulations related to the new engines. That's a big deal...and something which Max Verstappen surely approves of. At least he definitely likes how the car's motor sounds; a major worry for many Formula 1 fans after the debacle of 2014. Here's why this, as well as Ford's confidence in its work with Red Bull Racing points to a reality where Max Verstappen does NOT abandon the team before his 2028 term ends. #f1 #redbullracing #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #helmutmarko #f1drama #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #redbullf1 #redbull #verstappen #yukitsunoda #sergioperez #checoperez #checo #f12026 #laurentmekies Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffMax Verstappen Approves Red Bull Ford Enginehttps://youtu.be/_n_7VtsF0tghttps://youtu.be/_n_7VtsF0tgCan't watch the ladder?

Don't get hyped about Williams in 2026. Team boss James Vowles said so.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsEven though everyone is fired up about the team's performance in 2025, both Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon exceeding expectations, the team principal insists on 2028 being the breakout year for the team...despite 2026 being targeted as a place for change for the team. What's stopping the team from seeing another false dawn, just like in previous years in the 2020s? Simple! Let's talk about it.#f1 #carlossainz #alexalbon #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #jamesvowles #williamsracing #williamsf1 #williamsf1team #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1drivers #sainz #albon #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Somebody stumped up over $10m for a promise of a Formula 1 car.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsDuring the holidays, an auction took place. One which saw McLaren Racing generate nearly $20m in selling off examples of its Formula One car, its 2027 WEC car and its 2026 Indycar chassis. In the case of the F1 car, the MCL40A, it manifested $11.4m...even though it doesn't exist yet...and the customer will not receive ownership proper until 2028 when the car itself becomes irrelevant and may or may not be successful for either Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris of the team itself.Whatever happens, the team made a lot of money through something normies don't understand...and the new owners get access and status in a world first purchase for Zak Brown.

What a year it's been for the Ladder Man!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs2025 was nothing short of a breakthrough. A year which I surpassed 100,000 subscribers and received my first ever F1 paddock pass! Today I wish to talk about this and other chances to create professional F1 content that proved YouTubers can hold their own behind the scenes. I also share what it’s like visiting Red Bull Racing HQ, experiencing the Silverstone and Spielberg weekends and finally making it back to the Goodwood Festival of Speed after two decades.

In case Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris, break out Leo!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAs F1 2025's Abu Dhabi drama played out, McLaren went about silently revolutionising their Formula 1 academy...into NOT being an Formula One academy. Instead, their drivers now are geared to ALL the team's motorsport ventures. With Verschoor off to doing endurance duties in ELMS, the F2 champion Leo Fornaroli winds up FINALLY securing a ticket with a Formula One outfit. The current champions. Why?Is he there to be the best simulator driver possible...or the ultimate McLaren papaya insurance policy? In case either of their current elite racers leave for one reason or another.

It's official. Carlos Sainz will NOT shut up when racing an F1 car. That's a good thing.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsShoutout to StevieTheNarwhal for the chart used in this video: https://www.tumblr.com/steviethenarwhal/803143198554882049/carlos-sainz-talks-a-boatloat-driver-radioAccording to a brilliant fan-made chart, Williams F1 driver Carlos Sainz has BY FAR established himself as the best value Formula 1 racer on the grid. Talking for OVER NINE HOURS in races with his team as they surged up to fifth place in the constructors'. How does this constant feedback work with the team's uptick throughout the 2025 season...and how does it further legitimise their claim on their first win next season since Pastor Maldonado back in 2012?And oh yes, Alex Albon has benefitted from this too! #f1 #carlossainz #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #f12026 #formula12026 #alexalbon #jamesvowles #f1news #f1teams #f1drivers #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #williamsf1 #williamsracing #williamsf1team Carlos Sainz Won't Shut Up! that's a good thing.https://youtu.be/sMkgXcNNKucGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Looks like Red Bull haven't heard the last of Christian Horner! The Alpine talks intensify.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsNow that the 2025 F1 season is done and dusted, the rumours surrounding former RBR boss Christian Horner joining up with Flavio Briatore have resurfaced, all in the wake of a major Alpine shareholder looking to sell up in the not too distant future; putting Alpine's worth at $2.4 billion! With his settlement cash plus other powerful connections and investors, Horner's arrival as a potential stakeholder and advisor could become effectively Red Bull 2.0...and a major thorn in Laurent Mekies' side.Or could the former team principal be ready in case Renault, once again, pulls out of Formula 1 and step in to their shoes?

How did we do this year? Well, not as good as last year...thanks, Pierre Gasly...Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsBefore the 2025 Formula 1 season began, I took it upon myself to predict where everyone would finish in the championship, including the teams. This is my third go at this and have I made improvements in that time? Well, look for yourself!McLaren and Lando Norris made me look clever...whilst Alpine made me look delusional and a few midfield surprises (Hulkenberg, Hadjar, Racing Bulls) blew my preseason logic apart. I keep score with my own points system and finish with my final total for the season plus what I learned for 2026.
