Now? They said nothing across the whole weekend and then pivoted into "why F1 is great" IMMEDIATELY after the 24 hours. What does that silence actually mean?

78. The Ocon Rumour Was Wrong (It's Worse)
21:26||Season 4, Ep. 78Everyone reported the wrong story about Ocon's Haas seat. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsBrazilian journalist Julianne Cerasoli's comments about Esteban Ocon were mistranslated across every F1 outlet recently. The real paddock conversation was about Rafael Câmara, Ferrari's F1 Academy driver and F2 title contender. But you know what? I'm glad it got sorted out. Ferrari and Toyota both want something from that second Haas seat in 2027...and Ayao Komatsu isn't publicly defending his driver. Unless Ocon can get a podium in Formula 1's 2026 season it might be the end of his time in the sport. #f1 #formula1 #estebanocon #haasf1 #oliverbearman #ferrari #toyota #f12026 #f12027 #formulaone #f1news #lawvs #formulaone #f1news #f1latest #f1drama #f1gossip #f1newstoday Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff The Ocon Rumour Was Wrong (It's Worse)https://youtu.be/ua4-MQEosAE
77. Mercedes’ Alpine Plan Just Became An FIA Problem
21:43||Season 4, Ep. 77The FIA has opened a live investigation into F1 team ownership...and it's not aimed at Red Bull.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsA MEGA millions stake in Alpine F1 is up for sale and three serious buyers are circling: Mercedes, Christian Horner and a financial investor nobody's talking about. However, the FIA president Ben Sulayem just opened a formal investigation into multi-team ownership...the same week he publicly backed Horner's return and said his absence felt like a "vacation". As that happens, McLaren's Zak Brown has now written a formal letter to the FIA demanding new ownership rules, which could block Mercedes' bid entirely...and the fact it wasn't a Red Bull dig surprises me greatly...Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffThe FIA Just Made The Alpine Bidding War Interestinghttps://youtu.be/aZDLvvpO2Us
76. FIA Bails Out Adrian Newey's Mistake
21:40||Season 4, Ep. 76You think the FIA bailed out Honda...it was Newey, really.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsYesterday afternoon the FIA clearly detailed how the new ADUO mechanism actually works. Honda's in line for up to $19 million in development relief after Canada...but then I realised what Honda's own F1 project leads had been saying for months now. A careful message about who actually built the problem the FIA's now paying to fix. Honda is blaming Newey for this mess...in a corporate way.However, the request that started this whole mess might be redeemed should the 2027 changes start to fix Formula 1. Honda may be a in good place come next year...and it won't be mainly down to the design genius who asked too much.#f1 #astonmartinf1 #adriannewey #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #astonmartin #formula12026 #f1news #fiaf1 #fia #f1newstoday #f1updates #f1latest #f1cars #f1car #f1drivers #f1driver #f1teams #f1gossip #f1drama #amr26 Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff FIA Bails Out Adrian Newey's Mistakehttps://youtu.be/IUdXC4dgAnI

BWT's era is ending...and Gucci's parent company hired the man who built Alpine's F1 identity. Alpine lost its works engine and needs a new story fast. Flavio Briatore, who ran Benetton's clothing operation before he ever ran an F1 team, is about repeat the past with this Formula One team.But a snazzy sponsor is one thing...being fast is another.

74. Max Verstappen Just Sold Out The Nurburgring
21:25||Season 4, Ep. 74Max Verstappen No Longer Needs F1 The Way He Used ToClimb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith the Nurburgring announcing its 24 hours event this weekend is sold out for the first time in its history, this is the clearest sign yet that Formula 1 needs Max Verstappen more than he needs IT. Even though the sport is changing itself rapidly and his work has yielded changes back towards a more combustion-led formula one, it could be better in his eyes. Whilst Red Bull recover from their shaky start to 2026, the question of what Max does remains a huge one. He may WANT to stay in the sport...but does he NEED to? #f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #24hnurburgring #nürburgring #nurburgring #f1news #f1latest #redbullracing #f1drama #f1gossip #f1drivers #f1driver #verstappen Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Does Max Verstappen ACTUALLY Need F1?https://youtu.be/5jua0XEjDQU
73. Has Toto Wolff Already Moved On From George Russell?
23:36||Season 4, Ep. 73Has Mercedes been moved on from Russell? Already?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIt's safe to say that the F1 team of Toto Wolff probably didn't see the rapid development of Kimi Antonelli play out in 2026. Not four races in with three wins and poles. On the bounce. What effect has that had on George Russell's own campaign? A case of bad luck or lost momentum? Or simply down to a matter of pace and skill...or a sign that Formula 1's "dinosaur" has made his mind up regarding the future of his Formula One operations, going into 2030...and it might not include Russell. Or Verstappen.#f1 #kimiantonelli #formula1 #georgerussell #totowolff #formulaone #f12026 #formula12026 #miamigp #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1team #f1cars #f1car #f1drivers #f1driver #f1gossip #f1drama Has Toto Wolff Already Moved On From George Russell?https://youtu.be/NPcTfMMiHBU
72. F1 ABANDONS its 50/50 dream in just four races
19:48||Season 4, Ep. 72Formula 1 ABANDONS the 50/50 split...after just four months of use.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsF1 sold 2026 as the future, but just four races later, that's over. The FIA is already pulling the engine split back toward combustion for 2027. How did the 50/50 dream crack so fast?Not only that but Formula One's CEO Domenicali and his defence missed badly and aged poorly. There's also a lot of hope for Honda out of all the events of yesterday...and if the sport still wants to be green, sustainable fuel may now be F1’s escape road instead of electricity.#f1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f12027 #fia #fiaf1 #f1regulations #f1rules #f1teams #f1team #f1cars #f1car #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1gossip #f1drama F1 ABANDONS 50/50 dream in just four raceshttps://youtu.be/n1PeuklHL8I
