LawVS - The Ladder Man

Audi have turned heads...by just getting on with the job.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAfter starting off before anyone else...and then having a very sobering shakedown in Barcelona, Mattia Binotto and Jonathan Wheatley have discovered their path toward F1 competence has been a lot more productive than expected. There is plenty of talk that they could easily figure within the midfield...or even become a dark horse of it! Far improved from the days of Sauber...and even ahead of Williams. Could Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto have themselves a tidy car or (as the Race put it) a "sneaky-good car"?#f1 #audi #audif1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #mattiabinotto #nicohulkenberg #gabrielbortoleto #f1news #f1latest #f1teams #f1updates #f1drivers #f1drama #f1testing Audi Suddenly Look Like a Real Midfield Threathttps://youtu.be/YA4yWoN_hs4Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Two of F1's most outspoken drivers had a chat. Here's why you should care.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsCarlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso got together during the Formula 1 testing arc and found out they shared similar challenges within their respective teams. They saw eye to eye in a way which Williams and Aston Martin are not in the place they expected to be for 2026, a year which saw massive potential for both operations.For now, Carlos calls for calm and for patience...but it's conditional. James Vowles and Williams must prove they can come back from a compromised position after missing the Barcelona shakedown...and for Aston Martin, they need to make good on the findings themselves, Adrian Newey and Honda HAVE gleaned from their limited test program.

Max causes chaos amidst F1's rulemakers...time for George to add his own!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAs Max Verstappen mulls over his future in Formula 1, George Russell reminds the world that the Dutchman is a problematic driver; claiming he and his father Jos are 'manipulative' and at the heart of Red Bull's sacking of their former boss Christian Horner...only for Horner to say the complete opposite. Why did George do this?Maybe it's all about making Max an untouchable. Not worth Toto Wolff's time amidst plenty of political turmoil with engines, the FIA changing the rules after 2026 first impressions went down like a lead balloon...as well as a surging Kimi Antonelli. #f1 #maxverstappen #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #formula1 #formulaone #totowolff #redbullracing #christianhorner #mercedesf1 #f1news #f1latest #f1teams #f1drivers #f12026 #f1updates #f1drama #f1racing The Verstappen-Russell Drama Is Back (At the Worst Time)https://youtu.be/O6K5UhhwEMcGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

With that in mind, I look at all 11 teams and 22 drivers and try my best to rank them accordingly. Could Lando Norris defend his championship? Or Max take it back?

Aston Martin's situation is absolute chaos...by design?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAfter years of hype, the reality of becoming a works team for the first time in Team Silverstone's existence has hit like a freight train...with a team principal who wants nothing other than perfection. It was an odd choice but despite all the negative headlines in the last few weeks, there is hope within the AMR26...and it might be that Fernando Alonso hasn't given up yet.Right now? It's this F1 team's mission for the year: to keep Alonso for at least one more year. Because Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen?

As if it couldn't get any worse for Mercedes and its customers...Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAfter finding some respite from the ongoing engine compression controversies, Mercedes are now facing a race against time anew. Theirs and their customer's fuel suppliers Petronas have yet to gain approval to use their 2026 fuel for their F1 cars. Eight drivers and four teams could be affected if the grant isn't approved by Australia.Whilst this is something that can be sorted out in time, it's yet another hurdle to jump over...especially considering Shell, BP and ExxonMobil have already gotten their certificates in place. #f1 #totowolff #mercedesf1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #mercedesamg #georgerussell #f1news #f1teams #f1drivers #f1latest #f1news #f1updates #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

I think I've got a clue as to where the teams are right now before final testing.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsLap times don't matter...but tyre choices and lap counts kinda do. I want to look at what each F1 team has chosen for the final three days and deduce where they are at, now the baseline Formula 1 platforms are somewhat laid down. So far, Ferrari look like the most settled team whilst Red Bull keep on trucking and Mercedes? They're wobbling a little bit...or are they sandbagging?Whilst this isn't a concrete prediction, it's the start of many months of wondering who's won the Formula 1 2026 preparation cycle?#f1 #formula1 #f1testing #formulaone #f12026 #f1teams #f1drivers #charlesleclerc #maxverstappen #georgerussell #f1drama #f1news #f1updates #f1predictions Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Red Bull's chief designer has quit days before F1 2026 begins.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsCraig Skinner, Red Bull's chief designer since the RB18 of 2022, has reportedly left the team just three weeks before the first round of Formula 1 in 2026 begins. Based on recent high level departures, we are programmed to think this is the end of the world...well, is it though? Could Laurent Mekies and the new Red Bull Racing simply be recalibrating to what Formula One has become?

Nobody's talked about Ferrari...but McLaren is...and they're worried.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIt's become clear that start procedures for F1 2026 have some work need doing to them...but Ferrari have blocked any changes? Why? Well, they had answer a year ago but nobody would listen! So they went their own way and the car of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc could have the edge when it comes to Formula 1 race starts. However, McLaren have something to say amidst all the other positive news coming from the Scuderia about their upgrades.
