LawVS - The Ladder Man

You 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

Fashion saved Enstone once...now it's about to save it again.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe Gucci-Alpine rumour sounds ridiculous at first...but it's too perfect given Enstone's F1 history since the Toleman days. 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. Is this a warning sign for Formula 1?#f1 #alpinef1team #gucci #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #alpinef1 #pierregasly #francocolapinto #f1team #f1teams #f1drivers #f1driver #f1cars #f1car #formula12026 #f1gossip #f1rumors #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff The Gucci Deal Is A Warning For F1https://youtu.be/dQRajL92Rds

Max 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

Has 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

Formula 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

The curse at Red Bull remains...even whilst Christian or Helmut did not.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMiami looked like Red Bull’s first proper step forward in F1 2026. Max Verstappen finally had a car he could trust...but Isack Hadjar had the kind of weekend that makes every Red Bull second driver quivver with fear...and narratives spread.To me? It seems like the Red Bull curse might not have revolved around Horner, Marko or simple impatience. It might nside the car's technical team. One that keeps dragging Red Bull back toward Verstappen’s exact preferences time and time again. Did Red Bull fix the RB22...or only fix Max’s RB22?#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #gp #formulaone #f12026 #redbullracing #isackhadjar #christianhorner #helmutmarko #liamlawson #hadjar #f1news #f1updates #f1latest #f1teams #f1team #f1cars #f1car #f1drama #f1gossip The Red Bull Curse Has A New Suspecthttps://youtu.be/K5EEkk7eIJE

F1's future may once again be in its own hands, not engine makers.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIt's clear the 2026 regulations for Formula 1 are not perfect. In fact, they've already been proved a failure of sorts. How did this happen? Well, the engine makers looked at what the road market was doing and thought they knew the future. They didn't.Now, the FIA and its president is making it clear that come 2031, a much simpler Formula One will return. 2030, if enough makers back him. If they don't? Well, there's the door. #f1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #fia #fiaf1 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1gossip #f1drama #f1cars #f1car #f1teams #f1team #f1engine #f1engineering V8 Engines ARE Coming Back To F1https://youtu.be/j9qg1XaLvE8

Uh oh! F1 became too dependent on Gulf money...Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith 2026's F1 calendar needing some adjusting and the possible situation where Qatar and Abu Dhabi are also cancelled due to global events...yet Formula 1 doesn't seem to be panicking. Its CEO stating that the sport has a plan. With Istanbul and Portimao back on the calendar next year, might those inclusions and others hint at a possible SHADOW CALENDAR that Formula One has made? A list of tracks ready to go at a moment's notice...and maybe a sign that the sport's reliance on Middle Eastern money is beginning to reduce?
