  • 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/LawVSX🕚 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/LawVSX🕚 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
