LawVS - The Ladder Man

Kimi Antonelli has already won. No matter what the FIA does to his team.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAs the FIA closes another loophole Mercedes used, this time in F1 qualifying (at times), Toto Wolff's team's advantage gets smaller and smaller. With two less races to win before an effective second start to Formula 1 one this year in Miami, George Russell and Kimi Antonelli will face stiffer competition. However, for the latter, it may not matter as much. As Wolff and Russell lament the situation their Formula 1 team is facing, plus the criticism they aim at their rivals, the Italian has already won races and broken records to cement his place in the sport's history ALREADY.Take that in mind, folks.#f1 #kimiantonelli #formula1 #georgerussell #totowolff #formulaone #f12026 #formula12026 #miamigp #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1team #f1cars #f1car #f1drivers #f1driver #f1gossip #f1drama Kimi Antonelli has nothing left to provehttps://youtu.be/p-0FuzWYNKsGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff

The case for Oscar Piastri to arrive Schumacher-esque at Red Bull in 2028 is compelling.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsSeeing the Australian F1 driver NOT at McLaren in the future continues to gather pace despite many denials and contract extensions...but this one? This version is interesting. Mark Webber's absence from the Formula 1 paddock is notable...could he be working his job as a manager and putting out feelers to find the right team and the right time for his man? Whilst McLaren is the better choice this year and next year...could 2028 be the right time to make the call...and the right time when Max Verstappen makes his ultimate call if he remains in Formula One or adjacent to it at all?Might we see Oscar Piastri emulate what Michael Schumacher did with Ferrari in 1996 and help Red Bull turn itself around when it's ready to be competitive again...IF it's ready to be competitive again?#f1 #oscarpiastri #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #redbullracing #mclarenf1 #mclarenf1team #laurentmekies #f1news #f1opinions #f1updates #f1latest #f1teams #f1team #f1driver #f1drivers #f1car #f1cars #formula12026 #piastri #f1drama #f1gossip #f1rumors The political case for Oscar Piastri at Red Bullhttps://youtu.be/QOO9EdxnTns

Lance Stroll's weekend should worry F1 considerably.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe FIA has said changes WILL be made in time for Miami...but not to expect anything major. Instead of overhauls to the Formula 1 regulations for 2026, expect a steady phased approach with plenty of consultation with teams, stakeholders and manufacturers. The drivers? Maybe, maybe not. With Formula One drivers seeking enjoyment from other racing series and doing so in quick fashion, should this be something that those involved in the FIA's top sport be worried about? Or will they care not for change for something they're fast in...or dictate the change as they suit it.#f1 #totowolff #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1news #f1latest #fiaf1 #fia #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #lancestroll #maxverstappen #gt3 #gtworldchallenge #f1drama #f1gossip #f1regulations Lance Stroll went looking for what F1 forgothttps://youtu.be/ndf6fxpElxEGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Toto Wolff really should've secured GP before trying for Max.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a stunning coup, McLaren secured the right hand man of Max Verstappen. Gianpiero Lambiase has secured the role of Chief Racing Officer for the F1 team by the time 2028 rolls along, maybe even earlier! What does this all mean? Especially given the Verstappen camp gave him their blessing to join a rival team with full support.Ultimately, what does this all mean? Could this be a sign that Max has made his mind regarding Formula 1...or that he might have chosen his next team and it's NOT Mercedes?#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #gp #formulaone #f12026 #redbullracing #mclarenf1 #mclarenracing #zakbrown #totowolff #oscarpiastri #landonorris #f1news #f1updates #f1latest #f1teams #f1team #f1cars #f1car #f1drama #f1gossip Nobody's asking WHY Max blessed this movehttps://youtu.be/TUdYA8rd3wIGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff

Mercedes helped build rules that would invite (and humble) manufacturers.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsYears ago, Toto Wolff and Mercedes sought to secure their domination into the next era of Formula 1, after the turbo hybrid era had run its course. For 2026, two teams would arrive with Audi and Honda power in F1. One would struggle immediately and prove the Austrian right...and one wouldn't as much. Audi don't act like a completely new operation, much bigger than the Sauber team they inherited. Whilst glory isn't coming there imminently, Mattia Binotto and Neuberg have produced a power unit and operation which IS turning heads already. Hope for the future?Audi aren't struggling, folks...https://youtu.be/i_F0VJr-CpQ#f1 #audif1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #mattiabinotto #totowolff #hondaracing #astonmartinf1 #f1news #f1latest #f1review #f1opinions #f1updates #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Nobody cares about Liam Lawson. They should.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsOf course, you may remember the guy who didn't wanna make friends...but right now? He's putting in a lot of work for Racing Bulls, just behind Max Verstappen in the championship. However, it's gone by without much notice. Sure, F1's got a lot on its plate right now but this fact is probably a very inconvenient situation for Red Bull and Laurent Mekies. If Max DOES leave Formula 1 or STAYS, a decision will have to be made regarding Lawson.

V8 turbos with carbon neutral fuel? Maybe...but we don't get to say.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWord is that the FIA and teams realise these rules were too much, too soon. A 2.4 litre V8 turbo with synthetic fuels is currently the favourite amongst paddock gossip to replace the current hybrid setup for 2031...and yet that might not be good enough for some fans?In any case, the last half a century might have shown that F1's engines? Whilst we love them, it all depends on what the big teams and engine makers want and are willing to make and sell. If they can make the V8 turbo work and profitable? They'll do it!

Christian Horner made Toto Wolff untouchable...oops.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn this current arc of F1, the Mercedes team principal has made plenty of moves to get a type of Formula 1 that his group could thrive under...and with nobody powerful left to stop him politically, within the rules provided from the sport and the FIA. In hindsight, did Christian Horner or a figure LIKE him keep Toto in check? With Horner gone, Wolff seems unchecked...and he's proven to be quite a terrifying figure; keen to divide and conquer rather than remain the stoic observer of the peak of their feud with Red Bull.Whilst the tide IS turning back toward the 2026 regulations for Formula One being walked back, the framework is set. Was Christian right after all about these cars?#f1 #totowolff #christianhorner #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1cars #f1car #f12026 #redbullracing #mercedesf1 #f1drama #f1gossip #hottake Christian Horner made Toto Wolff untouchablehttps://youtu.be/cVO_NCZExWIGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?
