Liam Lawson’s future at Red Bull is under serious threat as Christian Horner and Helmut Marko engage in a power struggle that could determine the fate of the team's next big driver. Despite Lawson proving his worth with solid performances, Horner appears to be shifting focus to other Red Bull junior talents like Arvid Lindblad, Franco Colapinto, and Oliver Bearman. With Daniel Ricciardo’s departure potentially opening a door for Lawson, the competition from Red Bull’s deep pool of junior drivers is fierce, leaving fans wondering if Lawson will get his big break or be left behind.
In this video, we discuss the growing uncertainty around Liam Lawson's future, Christian Horner’s recent comments, and what Red Bull’s strategy might mean for the young driver’s career. With 15 junior drivers vying for a spot, the pressure is on Lawson to perform at his best if he wants to avoid being overshadowed by rising stars. Could Red Bull’s future lineup already be decided, or is there still hope for Lawson? Watch to find out the latest on this intense F1 power battle!

224. Toyota’s Second F1 Era's Already Underway
24:08||Season 3, Ep. 224Haas reveals that work on their 2026 car started in 2024...not long after Toyota arrived.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAs Toyota Gazoo Racing evolves into purely Toyota Racing, more and more details are coming to light in regards to the 2026 F1 rule changes...and that the smallest team in Formula 1 had been developing their concept since the "second half of 2024"...what else happened around that time? The announcement of TGR's collaboration with Ayao Komatsu's team. With more clues about this team's future in Formula One appearing by the day seemingly, does this mean that the Japanese automaker has just as much understanding of the new regulations as Haas does? What could this mean for their season's upgrade path and more? Is their takeover of the team or silent merge inevitable?#f1 #haasf1team #formula1 #toyotaf1 #toyotagazooracing #gazooracing #wec #fiawec #fiaf1 #f12026 #toyotahaas #formula12026 #f1news #f1drama #f1teams #f1drivers #f1latest #f1updates #haasf1 #haas Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

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?

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?

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?

216. McLaren's Zak Brown Said the Quiet Part Out Loud
23:58||Season 3, Ep. 216McLaren's Zak Brown has said the quiet part out loud...but F1 bosses have moved on.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a move to "destabilise" their rivals, the McLaren CEO Zak Brown confirmed that the idea which the Formula 1 team principal Andrea Stella tends not to rely on is thrown back in the faces of the team's enemies and rivals. Is this the kind of Formula One team I got behind in 2015? No it's not. Why is Brown doing this in an era of F1 which is going the other way in using loud-mouthed politics? More engineering led and more subtle? McLaren won, so act like champions...instead of eternal underdogs. #f1 #mclarenf1team #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #mclarenf1 #mclaren #zakbrown #landonorris #oscarpiastri #f1news #f1drivers #f1teams #formula12026 #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama Zak Brown Said The Quiet Part Out Loudhttps://youtu.be/iP9BaRRgQsMGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?
