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?

215. Toyota’s New Name Makes Haas Takeover Inevitable
23:28||Season 3, Ep. 215Toyota dropped a HUGE statement of intent in global motorsport...which Haas F1 Team will naturally benefit from too!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIs what Toyota Racing unleashed a sign of things to come for Formula 1's smallest team? With Ferrari looking to Cadillac for potential customer relations, Haas and their bond with Toyota Gazoo Racing might have levelled up with the Japanese car company's new organisational plan. With the main company's backing, Haas's branding could evolve as early as next year...if it hasn't already!Could we see Toyota Haas F1 Team in 2027...or even Toyota taking full ownership of Gene Haas' project?

214. Cadillac Just Became Ferrari’s Key Partner in Formula 1
23:27||Season 3, Ep. 214With Zhou Guanyu confirmed at Cadillac, Ferrari's found a new ally in F1.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAs Haas moves closer toward Toyota in terms of co-operation within Formula 1, Ferrari is facing a reality where, come 2029, they could have ZERO customers in an engine formula...not ideal. However, Cadillac and General Motors are building a strong working relationship with Maranello which has now three drivers who've repped Ferrari at some point in their careers. Could this mean a different avenue for the Italian's academy drivers, such as with Rafael Camara?In all of this, what does this mean for Colton Herta, Andretti and Cadillac's original champion for Formula One success? Now in F2, that move seems like it's changed a lot since originally announced. Should he have stayed in Indycar?#f1 #scuderiaferrari #cadillacf1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #sergioperez #valtteribottas #zhouguanyu #coltonherta #rafaelcamara #ferrarif1 #ferrari #f1news #f1drivers #f1teams #f1updates #f1update #f1latest #f1drama Cadillac Just Became Ferrari’s Most Important F1 Allyhttps://youtu.be/2ovCsNaBLNYGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

213. Checo Exposes the Flaw Inside Red Bull Racing
23:05||Season 3, Ep. 213Sergio Perez blows the door open regarding Christian Horner's final days of Red Bull leadership.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a stunning interview with Mexican media, Checo reveals that he had warned Red Bull's team principal of wasting their own talent too fast...but the response was a shocking one. With that in mind, the new version of Red Bull Racing seems to be a different entity to that of just a few months ago. With Perez's forecast coming true, could we see the end of it at the same time as he resumes F1 work with Cadillac for 2026? What else could stand in Laurent Mekies' team stead to help Max Verstappen mount a solid Formula 1 campaign and NOT leave for Mercedes?

211. Lando Norris Just Got More Dangerous
23:49||Season 3, Ep. 211With the title in the bag. What's next for Lando Norris? Prove his point harder!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith 2025 all over and done with, Lando Norris' future in F1 is the heart of many discussions. Where will we go after McLaren or will he ride with them forever...either in the 2030s on before the 2020s are over and done? Lando Norris' interview with the BBC was quite a curious piece. Joking that it was 'downhill from here'. Whilst said in jest, he's not wrong. Having the Monaco and Silverstone Grand Prix in the same year, there isn't much left to do for the typical Formula 1 driver...but Lando isn't typical.Winning more races and Formula One championships his way could redefine what upcoming racers see as the definition of success and glory in single seaters. The McLaren driver could have a major impact on said future...if not? No matter, he says.Lando Norris Won.

210. Max Verstappen Approves Red Bull Ford Engine
22:46||Season 3, Ep. 210Max Verstappen likes what he's hearing whilst Ford is ready to roll with Red Bull!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn the last couple of weeks, Red Bull-Ford Powertrians has gained HEAPS of credibility. Not only for pioneering a technique which only the title-favourites Mercedes have seized, but also doing so underneath a cost cap situation for the 2026 F1 regulations related to the new engines. That's a big deal...and something which Max Verstappen surely approves of. At least he definitely likes how the car's motor sounds; a major worry for many Formula 1 fans after the debacle of 2014. Here's why this, as well as Ford's confidence in its work with Red Bull Racing points to a reality where Max Verstappen does NOT abandon the team before his 2028 term ends. #f1 #redbullracing #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #helmutmarko #f1drama #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #redbullf1 #redbull #verstappen #yukitsunoda #sergioperez #checoperez #checo #f12026 #laurentmekies Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffMax Verstappen Approves Red Bull Ford Enginehttps://youtu.be/_n_7VtsF0tghttps://youtu.be/_n_7VtsF0tgCan't watch the ladder?

208. McLaren Just Sold an $11,000,000 F1 Car That Doesn’t Exist
22:53||Season 3, Ep. 208Somebody stumped up over $10m for a promise of a Formula 1 car.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsDuring the holidays, an auction took place. One which saw McLaren Racing generate nearly $20m in selling off examples of its Formula One car, its 2027 WEC car and its 2026 Indycar chassis. In the case of the F1 car, the MCL40A, it manifested $11.4m...even though it doesn't exist yet...and the customer will not receive ownership proper until 2028 when the car itself becomes irrelevant and may or may not be successful for either Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris of the team itself.Whatever happens, the team made a lot of money through something normies don't understand...and the new owners get access and status in a world first purchase for Zak Brown.
