LawVS - The Ladder Man

Why does Alpine’s changing hierarchy feel so tense?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsSince the F1 Miami Grand Prix this year (and after the loss of six points from Monaco), Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto have scored the same number of points for the Formula One team. So what happens when Gasly’s teammate stops being an obvious number two and Alpine has to manage priority in real time? Answer...umm...well...I'm getting 2023/2024 flashbacks, folks.When strategy and frustration collide, things can get awkward fast...and Esteban Ocon isn't there to point the finger at. The next internal Alpine test could tell us plenty! Maybe we were wrong about Esteban.#f1 #formula1 #pierregasly #francocolapinto #estebanocon #formulaone #alpinef1team #alpinef1 #f1news #f1analysis #f12026 #f1drivers #f1teams #f1driver #f1drama #f1updates #f1latest

Liam Lawson’s Red Bull F1 comeback has created an awkward question about his 2027 future...what does being useful actually get him?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsLiam Lawson has scored 14 points in three races for Red Bull...lovely! Except that still doesn’t tell us where his Formula 1 career is going. Isack Hadjar deserves a fair return once he’s fit and Max Verstappen’s new contract hardly creates an opening upstairs. So what exactly is Liam auditioning FOR? Throw Yuki Tsunoda, Arvid Lindblad and Nikola Tsolov into the mix and Red Bull’s 2027 driver line-up becomes rather awkward. Useful upstairs, useful downstairs...but useful WHERE?#liamlawson #redbullracing #f1 #f1news #formula1 #isackhadjar #maxverstappen #racingbulls #formulaone #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #f1gossip #f1drivers #f1driver #f1teams #f1team #vcarb #yukitsunoda

Monaco’s getting an F1 Sprint in 2027…why?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsTen F1 Sprint weekends in 2027...and Monaco’s one of them. After the two-stop experiment of 2025, F1’s giving us another qualifying session and another race around those same tight streets. Could this actually improve the weekend? Let's take a look at the 2027 F1 calendar...and see if this could really work.#f1 #monacogp #f1sprint #f12027 #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #f1updates

Another F1 penalty for Carlos Sainz. Madrid made this Williams season even harder to defend.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsI wanted this Williams move to work, but the Madrid Grand Prix resulted in another collision and I'm struggling to back up the Spaniard. Yes, Williams’ difficult 2026 F1 season deserves acknowledging, but so does the judgement we expect from an experienced race winner...and whether or not he justifies the supposed 8 figure salary.Carlos Sainz Is Harder to Defendhttps://youtu.be/y4GUEFHCC0s#carlossainz #f1 #formula1 #williamsf1 #fernandoalonso #madring #spanishgp #formulaone #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #f1gossip #madridgp #f1team #alonso

Norris had the pace...but the Madring stole the show. For the WRONG reasons.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsEven Kimi Antonelli had to admit that Lando Norris deserved to win...but they all count. As the top 3 duked it out, Hamilton’s brakes conked out whilst Oscar Piastri had another painful weekend; Russell's hopes of challenging the other Mercedes also saying PLENTY! And oh yes, Franco Colapinto drove like stink to save Alpine's hopes for P5.Who else won, lost or was just plain meh? Let's change things up a little!#f1 #formula1 #madridgp #madring #spanishgp #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #f1gossip #f12026 #f1teams #landonorris #kimiantonelli #lewishamilton #francocolapinto

Lewis Hamilton challenges Fred Vasseur after Ferrari’s Monza disaster. Where does that leave Charles Leclerc?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAfter the 2026 F1 Italian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton wants changes while Fred Vasseur defends waiting to prioritise one driver. Leclerc isn't backing down though. Could support from upstairs give Ferrari's team principal the authority Lewis wants him to exercise? Or might it lead to yet more pressure put on the Scuderia's lead man.A lot to unpack here!#f1 #ferrari #lewishamilton #charlesleclerc #fredvasseur #italiangp #f1news #f1updates #italiangp #f12026 #scuderiaferrari #f1latest #f1update #f1team #f1teams #f1drivers #f1drama #f1gossip

Did Mercedes cost George Russell the 2026 F1 Italian GP?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsGeorge Russell defied team orders and overtook Kimi Antonelli. So much for being too frightened to challenge his teammate! But once the virtual safety car came out, his Italian Grand Prix became a rather different task. What was up with Mercedes’ Monza strategy? Toto Wolff’s rules and George’s looming engine penalty give us plenty more to chew over in this 2026 F1 championship fight...if there is one left! #f1 #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #mercedesf1 #monza #italiangp #totowolff #f12026 #lawvs #f1news #f1latest #f1gossip #f1drama #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #formula1 #formulaone

Kimi Antonelli wins as Ferrari fell at home.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsItaly won...but it wasn't Ferrari that brought the country glory. Leclerc crashed not long after he and Hamilton made contact while Kimi Antonelli turned 19th on the grid into a home victory. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen salvaged a podium while McLaren gave us a scrap for fourth. Fun! Who else won, lost or was just plain meh around the 2026 Italian Grand Prix at Monza.#f1 #italiangp #monza #formula1 #f12026 #kimiantonelli #ferrari #lawvs #f1drama #f1latest #f1updates
