LawVS - The F1 Ladder Man

Whilst Kimi Antonelli's future looks brighter, George Russell and Toto Wolff are locking horns...and neither one are backing down.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe Russell vs Mercedes saga is heating up and whilst there seemingly HAS been progress...it's gotten very technical. Yes, Toto Wolff has publicly promised Kimi Antonelli a seat for 2026...verbally. On Italian TV. For now, it's not signed, sealed and delivered. Meanwhile, George Russell has gone from pushing for a multi-year deal to being offered a single-season extension with no conditions...yep. He's being given the Valtteri Bottas treatment.Without a deal done, Russell could walk...and Mercedes risk losing their proven leader at the very moment sponsors and car development need stability most. Is either party right to drag this out?#f1 #georgerussell #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #totowolff #helmutmarko #f1news #f1updates #f1drivers #f1latest #redbullracing #redbullf1 #verstappen #mercedes #mercedesf1 #russell Can't watch the ladder?

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen has been speaking about Red Bull's improved stability, which could mean that even if Yuki Tsunoda is for the chop...at least it will done be much more fairly than it was in history.Who else could stand to do well around Marina Bay?

Red Bull's smartest play for 2026 might just be the move nobody expected...nothing!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull Racing has been at the center of constant speculation...but the truth is, stability could be their greatest weapon heading into 2026. With Max Verstappen back in winning form and finally praising the team's effort, panicked changes risk undoing the progress that has brought them back within reach of second in the Constructors. The bigger picture is all about timing. Rising stars like Arvid Lindblad and Nikola Tsolov are lining up for their shot, but forcing the issue too soon could repeat past mistakes. Giving them a full 2026 season in Formula 2 provides a clean head-to-head that decides who truly deserves the call-up in 2027. Meanwhile, the three seats (other than Verstappen's) are all to play for. The team having yet to make their choices.

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFresh off his departure from Red Bull Racing, Christian Horner has walked away with a $100 million settlement and the freedom to come back to F1 sometime next year.

Max Verstappen is back in the hunt and F1 fans WANT it.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMcLaren may have dominated the season so far, but Baku changed everything. Both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris let valuable points slip away while Verstappen won AGAIN, backed by a revitalised Red Bull and a sharper-than-ever Yuki Tsunoda. With Max taking things one race at a time, he's suddenly positioned as the outsider ready to steal the spotlight...and McLaren being compared to 2007 anyway despite being nicer and no Spygate.The stakes are massive. If McLaren keep splitting points between their drivers while focusing on team glory, Verstappen could walk away with his fifth championship.

However, Carlos Sainz delivered a composed P3 to give Williams its first on-merit podium in seven years. Yuki Tsunoda kept it clean and Liam Lawson's career-best P5 pushed Racing Bulls up to sixth...but McLaren's weekend unraveled with Piastri's jump start and crash plus a slow stop that blunted Norris in his reply to the Australian.But who else won, lost or were simply meh?The 2025 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix WINNERS & LOSERShttps://youtu.be/CHAoVc9GxyM

George Russell is turning the screws on Mercedes and Helmut Marko is happy to point it out.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsHelmut Marko's latest comments slam the door on any Max Verstappen-to-Mercedes fantasy whilst also heaping praise on Russell and push Toto Wolff to pay up for the privilege. With Red Bull granting Max more freedoms and more control over the car's technical direction, Mercedes are left with one clear team leader choice...yet it can't seem to square itself away! Russell's Montreal win and rookie mentor role make him the safest anchor for the 2026 rules reset to boot! Each delay dents garage morale plus it inflates Russell's price and feeds rival narratives that Aston Martin or others could swoop. It all looks so messy. For Marko?

Hamilton sounds harsh on TV but inside Ferrari he is methodical and trusted.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFerrari boss Fred Vasseur paints a different picture of Lewis Hamilton than the headlines do. The post-session quotes can spike the mood but the briefings are calm. Behind closed doors he is sending word across Maranello with lessons from Mercedes...but the media tend to focus on one thing.This season is an integration job under a cost cap, not some kind of fancy magic switch. Ferrari admits it underprepared for his arrival and Hamilton's push has to live alongside Charles Leclerc's preferences. That means parallel optimisation now and big gains targeted for the 2026 reset. Walking away would bin hard-won learning and cash, so the smart play is persistence.

Nico Hulkenberg was on the brink of partnering Max Verstappen in the RB16B for 2021, helped by his ServusTV link and a reputation as a safe bank for points to respond to Mercedes. Then Perez won in Bahrain, momentum swung and Red Bull chose recent proof at the sharp end.

Would he actually bite? James Vowles keeps spotlighting Albon's growth at Williams where consistency has tightened up and results back it up against serious company.

Alex Albon impressed again defending brilliantly from Hamilton while Liam Lawson and Gabriel Bortoleto quietly continued their rise in the midfield bringing home crucial points for their teams; and Hamilton reminded fans what he can do with a car dialed in when he needed it.On the other side, Mercedes struggled more heavily than expected whilst Aston Martin floundered with poor execution and Carlos Sainz?

Also Toyota's technical partnership is about to take both team and driver to new heights thanks to even more collaboration between them in regards to the use of Fuji Speedway. Did Ocon get out of Alpine's team culture at the right time? It simply makes the dramatic difference at Haas all the more stark.

After a string of tough DNFs and mounting speculation about a possible Max Verstappen move to the Mercedes team, talk is starting to grow around KIMI being moved out instead of George Russell; who had been the talk of the town in that department. How has this happened? Mercedes' silence is fueling transfer gossip and self-doubt for their handpicked young star.With the spotlight on George Russell and growing talk of loan deals, the stakes are high for Mercedes as they try to shape their next era. Will they honor their commitment to Antonelli or send him off to boarding school at Alpine...and run the risk of losing him a la Esteban Ocon?#f1 #maxverstappen #georgerussell #totowolff #kimiantonelli #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #redbullracing #mercedesamg #mercedesf1 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama Can't watch the ladder?

Max Verstappen's wants and needs seem to already be realised if their new boss' first act is to be believed.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull Racing is in the middle of a major and perhaps long needed shakeup with Christian Horner sidelined and Laurent Mekies stepping up to lead. How does Mekies' new approach potentially wind up being the turning point that finally gives Verstappen the car and support he's been demanding for years now? Long-overdue simulator upgrades that could lead to smarter practice sessions and fresh parts for Spa might show that everything is geared toward making Red Bull as a team and their star driver happy. Plus, we look at how a more technical, less political culture is forming under Mekies, and why even Helmut Marko is starting to back his drivers rather than blame them. Good news for Yuki Tsunoda!With Verstappen's future on the line, Red Bull's new strategy could stabilize both the team and the driver lineup this season and next!#f1 #redbullracing #christianhorner #redbull #maxverstappen #yukitsunoda #f1news #formula1 #formulaone #f1drama #f1rumours #f1latest #f1updates #f12025 #verstappen #laurentmekies #visacashapprb #racingbulls #formula12025 Can't watch the ladder?

With reports that Sergio Perez is set to join Cadillac and that Mick Schumacher and Valtteri Bottas are the two final candidates in the frame for the seat next to him, it's clear Wolff's influence could stretch to even more teams! As George Russell faces contract uncertainty and Kimi Antonelli navigates a shaky phase of his rookie year, the Mercedes boss is orchestrating a bold strategy that could see him shape nearly a quarter of the grid. All of this while h's off pursuing Max Verstappen on his superyacht!How does Wolff's relationships with Bottas, Schumacher and now Alpine create new alliances and opportunities? And how does Perez's big move benefit both Cadillac and General Motors' global ambitions? With Red Bull under pressure and Mercedes quietly repositioning, the 2026 season could see a huge change, even bigger than THIS YEAR!#f1 #maxverstappen #georgerussell #totowolff #kimiantonelli #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #redbullracing #mercedesamg #mercedesf1 #canadagp #canadiangp #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama Toto Wolff Just Lit the Fuse for 2026https://youtu.be/mJ-fQiQLxRICan't watch the ladder?

Christian Horner's next move could be to save Alpine from its biggest crisis yet.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsPierre Gasly's candid frustration has exposed just how deep Alpine's problems run, with leadership chaos amidst an urgent need of direction. This video breaks down why Christian Horner, fresh from Red Bull and still at the center of the F1 world, might be the game-changer Alpine desperately needs. However, there are plenty of power plays to discuss involving Flavio Briatore, legal hurdles and the all-important 2026 regulations. Horner's possible arrival at Alpine could signal a total reset for a struggling team and MAYBE the kind of control he never had at Red Bull.With Gasly's future hanging in the balance and Alpine's F1 hopes fading fast, could Horner be the missing piece that changes everything for Enstone?#f1 #redbullracing #christianhorner #alpinef1 #alpine #alpinef1team #pierregasly #maxverstappen #yukitsunoda #f1news #formula1 #formulaone #f1drama #f1rumours #f1latest #f1updates #f12025 #verstappen #laurentmekies #visacashapprb #racingbulls #formula12025 Can't watch the ladder?

The power at Red Bull Racing has shifted. Max Verstappen is now firmly in pole position. Both on AND off the track.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith Christian Horner out, Red Bull Racing is undergoing its biggest transformation since it began. Hoping to perhaps place Max Verstappen at the center of the team's future. The main political obstacle for the Dutchman is gone, giving him perhaps more influence than ever and a renewed sense of control over his career path. As Laurent Mekies takes over and Helmut Marko regains his status as Verstappen's strongest ally, Red Bull is reorienting itself to keep its star happy and hungry for a potential rebuild. The stability of the engineering team, a more collaborative environment AND a familiar place to work are tempting prospects. Yuki Tsunoda could also benefit as well as the landscape between Red Bull and Mercedes intensifies and contract talks could be reset! The next phase of the power struggle between Toto and Red Bull has begun. #f1 #redbullracing #christianhorner #redbull #maxverstappen #yukitsunoda #f1news #formula1 #formulaone #f1drama #f1rumours #f1latest #f1updates #f12025 #verstappen #laurentmekies #visacashapprb #racingbulls #formula12025 Can't watch the ladder?

Sauber's transformation in its final season has set the stage for Audi's ambitious F1 entry, turning heads across the paddock and reigniting fan excitement.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsNico Hulkenberg's podium at Silverstone signals a major shift for Sauber in their final year before Audi sticks its badge on it properly. Could you call 2025 its first season since they own this team 100%? Anyway! Jonathan Wheatley's calm leadership and Mattia Binotto's quiet oversight has clearly done something for the better after a year of mishaps and political drama. As a result, we've got ourselves a team who has a lot going for them, drivers Nico and Gabriel Bortoleto thriving as a partnership AND the Audi/Qatari investors very much liking what they are seeing with the upgrades brought in and increase in performance overall.This is no longer a fluke, my friend. What we are seeing in a team which is looking quite prepared for 2026...and Red Bull and Carlos Sainz must be kicking themselves right now.

With Laurent Mekies stepping up as the new team principal, everything is about to change, both for Red Bull's senior team and for the entire junior driver system.

Lance Stroll's future at Aston Martin has never looked shakier.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsToday I break down the mounting pressure surrounding Lance Stroll. Yes, that again! This time it's his candid radio outbursts and post-race frustrations which are the focus; the dramatic shift in Aston Martin's ambitions with new sponsors and legendary figures like Adrian Newey joining the team could be the Canadian's undoing. His public attitude and “checked out” demeanor are clashing with the team's vision could be out of step with the deals with Honda, Aramco and major investors . These folks demand top-tier professionalism, motivation and results...which many doubt Lance can deliver for 2026. Fernando Alonso's energy and resilience only highlights Stroll's growing disconnect even more!!With George Russell being linked to his seat and team management surely losing patience with negative attitudes, the countdown to a major shakeup could be on.
