Picture Schumacher building Sauber into a powerhouse, Jean Alesi lifting trophies with Williams or Ayrton Senna leading Ferrari's charge back to the front.Then the real impact of Kubica's rally accident, what could have happened if Damon Hill took on McLaren's superteam and how Fernando Alonso's career might have gone with different team choices.

    Franco Colapinto has closed the gap to Pierre Gasly just when Alpine faces its toughest season yet.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWhy is Franco Colapinto turning heads in Formula 1 during a season where Alpine is struggling more than ever? Easy! With big changes shaking up the team, a drop in performance and uncertainty at every level, Colapinto's promotion to the race seat couldn't have come at a harder moment. Still, his performances have quietly outshone Jack Doohan's, with Franco consistently finishing closer to teammate Pierre Gasly despite having far less experience in the car and as Alpine fall further away from their rivals. Fans might be on the fence, but the stats show that Colapinto's rapid adaptation, clean record and cool head are exactly what Alpine needs right now.I have stats to back me up though! With Alpine's future up in the air and sponsors watching closely, every race matters and Colapinto is meeting every challenge so far. As management and driver line-ups shift, could Franco become a long-term asset for Alpine and bring fresh interest from Argentina just when the team needs it most? #f1 #francocolapinto #formula1 #pierregasly #formulaone #f12025 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1update #f1drama #colapinto #gasly #flaviobriatore #alpinef1 #alpinef1team #alpine Franco Colapinto Proves Alpine Made the Right Callhttps://youtu.be/iKvoAZlEAdo

In the midst of high-stakes politics, George Russell's impressive form and quiet loyalty have become key assets for Mercedes, me finally realising just what Mercedes are up to in NOT signing both Kimi Antonneli and Russel ASAP; the team holding off on finalising his contract AND keeping the F1 world guessing about Max Verstappen's future.

From sharp post-race comments to public digs, Norris is louder and more confident looking than ever. But Verstappen's response? Silence. Or rather, a cool, calculated calm that's maintaining the balance of power. As Max focuses on racing and lets the headlines spin around him, Lando's intensity may be landing harder on his own reputation than on the reigning champ.I would like to break down the shifting narrative between Norris, Verstappen, and the rising threat of Oscar Piastri. A driver whose quiet confidence is making all the right noise. We look at fan reactions, press conference moments, and the unexpected softening of Max's public image, from boos in London to chants in Imola FROM THE TIFOSI. With Red Bull regaining form and McLaren juggling internal title tension, the real question isn't whether Lando's fast...it's whether his strategy is still working. Verstappen's restraint is a weapon. Piastri's silence is precision. And Lando?

But just like Russell, who transformed those tough early years into title-contending consistency, Bortoleto is showing the same signs of focus, resilience, and long-game thinking. His work ethic has already turned heads at Sauber, with Mattia Binotto and Jonathon Wheatley both praising his maturity and technical feedback during pre-season testing. And with Nico Hülkenberg as a mentor, the Brazilian rookie is soaking up knowledge that could shape his future rise.What sets Bortoleto apart is more than just his results, it's how he's preparing behind the scenes and refusing to let a slow start define him. In a sport that often forgets about anyone outside the top 10, Bortoleto is grinding, learning, and slowly turning heads. For Brazil, he's not just a new driver, he's a spark of hope in a country still waiting for its next F1 hero and maybe could see a couple more of their own join Gabi in the years to come - Rafael Camara?

In this video, we break down how the reigning World Champion is tactically responding to the FIA's controversial new conduct rules without uttering a single controversial word. With vague regulations that threaten drivers with bans, point deductions, or massive fines for "moral injury" to the FIA's image, Verstappen has chosen silence over soundbites — and it's sending a louder message than any post-race rant ever could.From post-race press conferences to cryptic body language with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, Max is playing the long game — protecting his championship run while avoiding unnecessary risk. This is more than just maturity; it's a smart, calculated response to a governing body that's increasingly policing personality. We also explore the bigger picture: how Verstappen's sponsors, Red Bull's subtle media tactics, and the weight of public image are shaping this new era of Formula 1.
