LawVS - The Ladder Man

Lewis Hamilton won for Ferrari, but Barcelona may have told us something far bigger about Mercedes.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMercedes still lead both championships, so no, I'm not saying they're done for. But Barcelona exposed three cracks they can’t ignore. First, a car that keeps switching itself off. Then there's Toto Wolff questioning his own “let them race” philosophy and then, of course, the ADUO. The thing which gives Ferrari its ticket to leading the F1 field for the rest of 2026. No wonder Wolff has been so determined to limit the ADUO's potential. #f1 #totowolff #lewishamilton #formula1 #formulaone #barcelonagp #f12026 #scuderiaferrari #mercedesf1 #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #f1news #f1opinions #f1latest #f1updates #f1gossip #f1drama #f1teams #f1team Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffToto Wolff Just Lost Control Of His Own Storyhttps://youtu.be/P9Qcr2NqMLU

Lewis Hamilton finally did it...and with style! Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFerrari have won for the first time since Mexico 2024 in a race which redefined the F1 championship story for 2026. Hamilton's near 20 second victory over George Russell and the then beleaguered Kimi Antonelli showed that the Scuderia's upgrades had finally come good. As for McLaren and Red Bull, they were very much in their own battle for third. As for the Formula 1 Ferrari golden boy Charles Leclerc, it was another race to forget.Who else won, lost or were just plain meh?Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffThe 2026 F1 Barcelona Winners & Losershttps://youtu.be/_kWbw7xCAJY

F1 got the Monaco penalties wrong...and it's HUGE consequences.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe FIA checked its own equipment after Monaco and found no abnormalities. Then three days later FOM's evidence broke that audit and by Friday morning the stewards had rescinded Gasly's penalties. That still leaves George Russell with a five-second penalty that became a drive-through. Where did it all go wrong?? It reminding me of a Qatar 2024 echo George won't enjoy. When the referee's number is wrong in Formula 1, who actually pays for it? They don't!#f1 #georgerussell #pierregasly #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #monacogp #barcelonagp #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1gossip #f1drama #fiaf1 #fia #f1team #f1teams Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff George Russell’s Excuses Meet F1’s Broken Rulerhttps://youtu.be/NvR1ETLP2So

The FIA says its 2027 engine fix won't touch the racing... so why are some Grands Prix about to get shorter?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsYesterday the FIA announced agreement on the 2027 engine rules. There would be more combustion power and less battery. Lovely! But there's more that wasn't spoken about as much.For starters, Overtake Mode is unchanged and the package is understood to trim laps off the thirstiest races, just so some cars can reach the end. Sure, Max Verstappen got the direction he begged for but at what cost? And oh yes, there was still no unanimous agreement on this.#f1 #formula1 #formulaone #maxverstappen #fia #fiaf1 #f1news #f1updates #aduo #f1gossip #f1drama #f1cars #f1car #f1teams #f1team Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffF1 Fixed Its Engines By Making Races Shorterhttps://youtu.be/ZQ1o-E316A8

Mercedes got help from F1 while Red Bull’s engine is frozen.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsF1’s new ADUO engine rule was meant to stop one manufacturer running away with the 2026 season. Instead, the first ruling has handed Mercedes an upgrade after all! Meanwhile, Red Bull-Ford, judged the benchmark on the combustion side...gets nothing...and they're winning nothing also! So how does a team winning every race qualify for help? Is this scheme as fair as it would seem? Sure Ferrari and Audi and Honda will benefit, but so do the championship leaders!#f1 #mercedes #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #aduo #f1news #f1latest #totowolff #f1updates #f1engines #f1teams #f1team #f1car #f1cars #f1rumours #f1gossip #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff F1 Froze Red Bull’s Engine, Not Mercedes!https://youtu.be/-0mMK9SAxfE

You know what? For Monaco? That was not too bad!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn what was the best Monaco Grand Prix in a while, Mercedes and Kimi Antonelli upset expectations and pulled a fast one Ferrari...literally. Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen had races to forget whilst Pierre Gasly was crushed by the FIA's chaotic pitlane speed trap! All in all, it was an F1 race around Monte Carlo which interested us more than expected.

Audi and Williams both pointed at 2030 this week but only one of them sounded like they meant it.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMattia Binotto's Audi has its own engine to work on and claims 2030 will be their year. Meanwhile, James Vowles is four years into the Williams rebuild, running the best power unit on the grid and pointing at the exact same year...but his read is not being received as favourably. Why is that though?Even Carlos Sainz admitted his faith got tested before he talked himself back round...and as for Alex Albon? How long will he wait until perhaps Audi, Aston or Alpine might win his heart?#f1 #carlossainz #formula1 #jamesvowles #alexalbon #f1news #f12026 #williamsf1 #williamsracing #f1latest #f1updates #audif1 #audi #mattiabinotto #f1gossip #f1drama #f1team #f1teams #f1drivers #f1driverWilliams Are Stalling And Calling It A Planhttps://youtu.be/YrJtdVwjOlY

In committing to Charles, Ferrari's solved NOTHING.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsScuderia Ferrari gave Leclerc his THIRD deal with them, keeping him with the F1 team possibly into the 2030s...or 2028. Nobody really knows. And I don't think Ferrari knows where it's at right now. It's gone long-term with their Formula 1 hero but there's Lewis Hamilton eschewing their own simulator and getting results too. What does this Formula One force do with their present situation?One thing is for sure, giving the man down on his luck right now a contract won't answer their immediate question...which driver do they back? Or does it even matter given their engine is weak. So many questions.#f1 #charlesleclerc #lewishamilton #formula1 #scuderiaferrari #ferrari #ferrarif1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1teams #f1team #f1cars #f1car #sf26 #f1news #f1latest #f1drivers #f1gossip #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Ferrari Settled Nothing By Re-Signing Leclerchttps://youtu.be/TZp7qmj6tWA
