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!

Exposing rare operational mistakes, growing frustration for Max Verstappen and renewed questions about team stability not long after looking sorted in Japan. With Verstappen losing ground in the drivers’ standings and Red Bull only fourth in the constructors’, Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren are closing the gap fast. Strategic errors, an inconsistent RB21 and headline-making incidents have fueled speculation about Verstappen’s future AGAIN and put Yuki Tsunoda’s seat under constant review, despite promises his seat would be secure in 2025. The team’s historic strength, operational sharpness, has faltered...magnified by key staff departures and public contradictions between Christian Horner and Helmut Marko.This video breaks down the perfect storm brewing inside Red Bull, from leadership rifts and car troubles to the relentless pressure on both drivers.

  • 76. How Williams Became Mercedes’ Worst Nightmare in 2025

    23:47||Season 3, Ep. 76
    Williams have crashed the party at the front of F1...and their disruptive tactics are making life tough for Mercedes especially.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWilliams are no longer just a midfield F1 team...they’re becoming the tactical disruptors Ferrari and Mercedes didn’t see coming. Their progress this season has flipped the script, blocking Mercedes from key points finishes and limiting the potential of Ferrari on ocassion early in the 2025 season. The Monaco Grand Prix was a turning point, as Williams pulled off reactive strategy moves that left Toto Wolff’s team scrambling, ultimately scoring NO points. With smart investments, a lighter chassis and a clear focus on consistency, Williams are now capitalizing on every opportunity, proving that stability and execution can outmaneuver even bigger teams despite James Vowles insisting 2025 is not a priority. This was all untapped potential, people!Meanwhile, Mercedes is caught in a cycle of chasing upgrades, wrestling with a once again tricky car and facing a technical directive that could make their challenge even steeper. It will be like the W15 had never left! As Mercedes weighs whether to keep pushing or pivot to the all-important 2026 season, it's all gravy for Williams!#f1 #williamsracing #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #mercedesf1 #mercedesamg #totowolff #jamesvowles #alexanderalbon #carlossainz #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #f1news #monacogp #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #f12026 How Williams Became Mercedes’ Worst Nightmare in 2025https://youtu.be/ib80EOzQk0E🐦 https://twitter.com/LawVSXšŸ•š https://tiktok.com/@lawvsf1🧵 https://threads.net/@lawvsxBrand new PO BOX now open: LawVS, PO BOX 437, WALLINGTON, SM6 6EZ, UKWear a piece of F1 history on your wrist with Mongrip: https://mongrip.com/?ref=mxyyVz7corTaLG
  • 75. Leave Isack Hadjar Alone, Red Bull!

    27:22||Season 3, Ep. 75
    Isack Hadjar is on the brink of something big in Formula 1, but Red Bull may need to slow down before making their next move.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull’s junior program has a reputation for rushing talented drivers, but this time, the story is different. Isack Hadjar has quickly become one of the most talked-about rookies of 2025, even MORE so than Kimi Antonelli; showing fans and critics alike that he’s more than just a rising star...he’s the real deal. From rising above the turmoil of Melbourne to a 'perfect' weekend performance in Monaco, Hadjar’s combination of speed, personality and resilience is winning over F1’s toughest audience. Backed by Lewis Hamilton and praised by teammates Yuki Tsunoda and now Liam Lawson, he’s proving himself as a future contender, but with just eight F1 race starts, the stakes are high and the pressure is building.Rushing Hadjar into the senior Red Bull seat could repeat the same mistakes that left previous talents struggling, including Lawson THIS YEAR. Also, why rush? Racing Bulls is investing in new technology and giving Hadjar the perfect environment to develop into a force for the future when Max Verstappen may choose to move on. Keeping Hadjar right where he is might be the smartest move Red Bull can make. #f1 #redbullracing #formula1 #f12025 #maxverstappen #yukitsunoda #liamlawson #isackhadjar #verstappen #tsunoda #hadjar #formulaone #f1updates #f1latest #redbull #f1drama #f1drivers #visacashapprb #vcarb #racingbulls 🐦 https://twitter.com/LawVSXšŸ•š https://tiktok.com/@lawvsf1🧵 https://threads.net/@lawvsxBrand new PO BOX now open: LawVS, PO BOX 437, WALLINGTON, SM6 6EZ, UKWear a piece of F1 history on your wrist with Mongrip: https://mongrip.com/?ref=mxyyVz7corTaLG
