Mercedes fans are starting to sweat with no signatures for Russell and Antonelli in sight.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMercedes is past its usual August deadline...and yet George Russell and rookie Kimi Antonelli remain unsigned for 2026, sparking talk of friction inside Brackley. Team principal Toto Wolff insists on short 1-plus-1 deals but Russell surely wants better than that! With a major 2026 rules reset looming and lingering chatter about Max Verstappen, every delay fuels sponsor nerves and gives Aston Martin-Honda a chance to George Russell.

Reverse grids, sprint races and trimmed free‑practice sessions are suddenly center stage...and fans are divided.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsF1 is facing a dramatic and gimmicky future and I'm here to break down Stefano Domenicali's push to reshape race weekends by expanding sprint formats, cutting back or cutting out free‑practice sessions, even testing reverse grids like in F2/F3...and hinting at shorter Grand Prix distances too.

Max Verstappen's strong comeback puts him in P3, while strategy and tire choices look set to play a huge role in Sunday's race. Isaac Hadjar and Liam Lawson impress with standout performances for Racing Bulls right when the midfield pack couldn't get any tighter whilst Carlos Sainz finds renewed motivation to secure a top ten start at Alex Albon's expense.

How? Equal-status team orders, a record-breaking Mastercard deal securing the team's future and the management's hands-off approach, THAT is what ideally keeps both drivers pushing flat out without taking each other out ALL the way to Abu Dhabi.

Front‑row urgency and high‑stakes drama are need for these five F1 drivers for the rest of the 2025 outing!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFront‑row urgency meets high‑stakes drama as we break down why Franco Colapinto, Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton, Yuki Tsunoda and rookie Kimi Antonelli face a pivotal second half of 2025 that could define their careers in the short to medium term. Franco? Just one point could prove his worth in a struggling Alpine. Sainz? The pressure is intense to respond to Albon AND for Williams to step up on reliability. Hamilton? Sharpen qualifying and tame public self‑criticism to regain momentum at Ferrari. Meanwhile, Tsunoda must convert raw pace into consistent Q3 appearances at Red Bull while Mercedes rookie Antonelli has to stack up enough solid points to regain confidence lost in Europe.Each driver is walking a tightrope.#f1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #lewishamilton #carlossainz #kimiantonelli #yukitsunoda #francocolapinto #f1news #f1latest #f12026 #f1drama5 F1 Drivers Cooking Under Pressure in 2025https://youtu.be/lLaFjfhf-sYCan't watch the ladder?

Cadillac's potential lineup with Perez and Bottas is one thing but IndyCar champion Alex Palou is reportedly being considered to join Red Bull in the near future. What could that mean for Red Bull's future, including the ongoing legal fight with McLaren and how he stacks up as North America's most bankable single-seater talent.

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. We have seen it pay off before with Alonso once Aston improved and with Schumacher's late-run resurgence at Mercedes.Don't Take Lewis Hamilton Seriouslyhttps://youtu.be/RbVsOwZXJjA#f1 #lewishamilton #formula1 #formulaone #ferrari #scuderiaferrari #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #charlesleclerc #leclerc #ferrarif1 #f12025 #f12026Can't watch the ladder?

Helmut Marko says Hulkenberg was THIS CLOSE to the 2021 Red Bull seat...until Sergio Perez changed everything.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsHelmut Marko has finally said it on the record. 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. We all now wonder how close the talks REALLY got, why team chemistry mattered and whether Nico's driving style might have clicked faster with that car than Checo's did.This story also fits a larger pattern in Nico's career.

Max stays for now but Red Bull is changing fast and Alex Albon is suddenly part of the story.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith Christian Horner out and Laurent Mekies running the shop while Helmut Marko steps into co-director, the tone inside Milton Keynes looks different. Verstappen calls this a slight rebuild, not a teardown but that shift, plus pressure and pride from Red Bull's Thai side and a government keen on a Bangkok race, puts Albon back in the frame perhaps. 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. This is why sponsors care and why his stock keeps climbing.Add the Thailand connection and a growing Southeast Asia fanbase and you get a sporting and commercial package that makes sense.

Liam Lawson's turning things around...but the F1 fans don't seem to care.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsLiam Lawson's journey back to the Formula 1 spotlight is rewriting his reputation but the racing world has barely noticed. After a tough spell at Red Bull and a return to the junior ranks, Lawson has clawed his way into the conversation by consistently scoring points for Racing Bulls, keeping the team within the midfield battle for P6 alongside Sauber and Aston Martin. A breakthrough with new front suspension and stronger support from team principal Alan Permane have helped Lawson find his rhythm...and it could help Red Bull Racing out and their quest to keep Max Verstappen.#f1 #liamlawson #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #maxverstappen #isackhadjar #yukitsunoda #redbullracing #laurentmekies #christianhorner #redbullf1 #redbull #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama Can't watch the ladder?

The 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix turned the F1 world upside down with yet another Lando Norris twist AND some surprise winners...and big losers.Climb the ladder with me over on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMcLaren celebrated a landmark 200th victory in F1 as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri delivered a commanding 1-2 finish, showing off perfect teamwork and strategy as Ferrari folded in awkward fashion. Gabriel Bortoleto stole the spotlight with a career-best drive to sixth holding off legends and proving he's here to stay as a rapidly interesting rookie. Aston Martin bounced back into form with strong finishes from Alonso and Stroll while George Russell secured another podium for Mercedes thanks to going back on failing upgrades and cooler weather. Liam Lawson continued to raise eyebrows with another points finish keeping the Racing Bulls in the midfield battle and Isack Hadjar wishing for better fortunes.The action-packed weekend wasn't all celebrations though as Ferrari and Charles Leclerc failed to convert a pole to a shock win and just...lost it. Not as badly as Red Bull though who struggled with grip and strategy with Verstappen and Tsunoda missing out on all but two points...oh dear! Williams, Haas and Alpine all endured tough races too...

The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix gave me a headache. Sure it was delayed a lot but McLaren kept me on edge!Climb the ladder with me over on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsOscar Piastri stamped his authority at Spa with a telling response to Lando Norris on Sunday as well as a standout Sprint pole, leading McLaren to their first 1-2 at this track in over two decades. Leclerc struck back for Ferrari after a rough Silverstone, outpacing Verstappen in the main race, suggesting their upgrade might have potential in the second half of 2025. 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? Once again hampered by a string of strategy blunders. Tsunoda and Hulkenberg had promising moments but were ultimately let down by missed calls. Who else won, lost or were meh this weekend?

Aston Martin's future in Formula 1 looked bleak...but then Adrian Newey turned up. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAston Martin nearly missed the boat on the 2026 F1 regulations before legendary designer Adrian Newey arrived to overhaul the project.

Why do both Fernando Alonso and Andy Cowell believe this could be a turning point for the team? Has the team managed to turn the corner simply with his presence in place...it certainly seems so!The drama of Lance Stroll's negativity is there though, plus the pressure of Alonso's legacy, we cover the real challenges here and what needs to happen for Aston Martin to avoid another season of frustration.

A major Verstappen to Mercedes source backpedals his claims as the wider world turns back to Red Bull.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsNelson Piquet Jr, Max Verstappen's brother-in-law, loudly claimed a Mercedes deal was done...only to now backpedalling his claim; his guess now as good as ours! As negotiations between Verstappen, Red Bull, and Mercedes heat up, the talk seems to be leaning back toward Max staying put. Red Bull is reshaping itself to be more to Max's liking and technical changes for 2026 make any transfer risky. Even Toto Wolff admits the odds of landing Verstappen aren't great and the Dutch star himself is keeping his cards close. We won't know for weeks, folks!Red Bull's recent upgrades and Ford partnership are giving Verstappen more reasons to stay, while Mercedes is dealing with present reliability issues and its rivals attempting other grand deeds with their 2026 engines. #f1 #redbullracing #christianhorner #redbull #maxverstappen #yukitsunoda #f1news #formula1 #formulaone #f1drama #f1rumours #f1latest #f1updates #f12025 #verstappen #laurentmekies #visacashapprb #racingbulls #formula12025 Verstappen Transfer Talk Just Got Even Messierhttps://youtu.be/KaK4T0acc1wCan't watch the ladder?

Esteban Ocon has quietly become one of the most compelling stories of the season. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsDespite his low-key presence, Ocon has already matched his points tally from his last year with Alpine with races to spare, while settling into a much more supportive and responsive environment. This video breaks down why Ocon's move to Haas could be the best decision of his career and how his partnership with race engineer Laura Mueller has become one of the most positive in the paddock. 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. That being said, could he relapse into the Ocon of old and potentially cause fireworks with Oliver Bearman and others? Well, I personnaly doubt that but...never say never.#f1 #estebanocon #formula1 #formulaone #haas #haasf1team #haasf1 #oliverbearman #ocon #alpinef1 #alpine #alpinef1team #pierregasly #f1news #f1latest #f12025 #f1updates #f1drama Esteban Ocon's redemption arc has begunhttps://youtu.be/E8Z7EtNh5iwCan't watch the ladder?

Alex Albon's comeback at Williams and Isack Hadjar's rise for Red Bull are good in my book. On the other hand, Lando Norris is hanging on in the title race despite a rollercoaster yearThe other end of the spectrum is full of tough luck and tough questions.

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.

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.

However, there are plenty of power plays to discuss involving Flavio Briatore, legal hurdles and the all-important 2026 regulations.

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!

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.

Alex Albon also kept Williams in the hunt when Carlos Sainz fell to Charles Leclerc's damage. Not everyone left Silverstone smiling though.

McLaren conquered Spielberg and Red Bull walked away with nothing.Climb the ladder with me over on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn this more raw race report than usual, there was a lot to unpack despite the leader of the race ultimately remaining the same from qualifying. McLaren's pace was without doubt at the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix as Lando Norris sealed victory. This means that Oscar Piastri's championship advantage is down to 15 points and with Max Verstappen being sent out of the race by Kimi Antontelli, his championship defense looks almost impossible to claw back. Behind him Liam Lawson's flawless one-stop carried Racing Bulls into the constructors fight for sixth while Sauber's upgrades let Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg harass an ailing George Russell and his Mercedes. Ferrari stayed steady with a top-four double finish and shut Red Bull out on home ground. Fernando Alonso's crafty one-stop proved age is only a number as Lance Stroll and Alpine faded, Williams burned through another reliability horror and Yuki Tsunoda's tough weekend summed up Red Bull's worst home race in years, if not ever.

From the glory years of Williams, Lotus and Brabham to their stunning falls from grace, you'll learn how icons of innovation and speed were brought low by changing times, financial struggles and devastating leadership decisions. For example, Benetton's world-beating run fizzled out within just a few years after Michael Schumacher left, Jordan's underdog magic faded as the paddock changed forever thanks to big name brands stomping over smaller team and what led to the emotional exits of French favourites Ligier and Prost Grand Prix. We also look at how Tyrrell, once an engine of F1 creativity and talent, was slowly edged out by the sport's rising costs and corporate pressure.Whether you're a longtime F1 fan or new to the sport, this breakdown offers real insight into how fragile success can be at the highest level.#f1 #formula1 #formulaoneteam The Saddest Ends in F1 Team Historyhttps://youtu.be/ygNuMTaIAlc

Red Bull's shock Silverstone gamble could put Liam Lawson's F1 dream on the line.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull's Helmut Marko is sending 17-year-old prodigy Arvid Lindblad into FP1 at the British Grand Prix and the ripple effect is huge. We break down how his Swedish-Indian roots and record-breaking F2 form create the perfect marketing storm for Red Bull, Liberty Media and provide India a valuable boost to perhaps a return to the F1 calendar. Find out why Helmut Marko is already calling him the next big thing, how Christian Horner hopes a homegrown star will win over a skeptical UK crowd and what this means for Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith the spotlight on Max Verstappen seeking a record FIFTH win around the most recent configuration of this track, the pressure is on for Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari to mount a challenge...what a race to go see live! The grid is also buzzing with rumours about Cadillac's driver choices, with Valtteri Bottas making a LITERAL bid for a seat as per the memes! Young talents like Arvid Lindblad, Dino Beganovic and Alex Dunne are making headlines, with big teams testing the latter two in FP1 this weekend. Red Bull's own lineup faces scrutiny as Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson battle to meet expectations, while Isack Hadjar waits in the wings. With hot weather and unpredictable conditions expected throughout the weekend, tyre strategy and potential safety cars could shake up the usual order. My predictions are in for a Verstappen bolt off the line but don't count out George Russell and both McLaren cars of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris to be down and out.#f1 #austriangp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #austriangrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #mclaren #charlesleclerc #redbull #f12025 #formula12025 #mercedes #lewishamilton #landonoris #mclaren The 2025 F1 Austrian Grand Prix Preview & PREDICTIONSMy Predictions for the 2025 F1 Austrian Grand Prixhttps://youtu.be/DtlNKkLx5yEJoin the VS Posse today!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXm93J-6YEUEBs8WlLagrA/join

My wife and I just left the theater after catching the F1 Movie. Here's what you need to know before you see it.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsGet our honest thoughts on F1: The Movie. Sure, it's a bit of a cheese-fest, but it's of the charming kind! From its jaw-dropping visuals best experienced in IMAX to its surprisingly heartfelt story, this film delivers more than just fast cars and big crashes. It's packed with genuine moments of teamwork, camaraderie and a few laugh-out-loud lines which I enjoyed for what it was.Yes, the movie leans into the cheese and Hollywood drama, but it also pays real tribute to the spirit of racing in places, Sonny Hayes being a lot more of a deep character than you think and you actually CARE about the team. The Daytona opener is especially a true highlight and a perfect showcase of what the movie can be! I give it four rungs out of five!#f1 #f1movie #formula1 #formulaone #f1themovie #moviereview F1 - The Movie Review [SPOILERS]https://youtu.be/tivqD0zvP1Ihttps://youtu.be/tivqD0zvP1I

Mercedes has slammed the door shut on any hopes of Max Verstappen joining their F1 team; and Toto Wolff's latest comments make it clear why.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn this video, we break down everything you need to know about the shifting power dynamics at Mercedes, Toto Wolff's tough stance on team culture and why Max Verstappen is no longer a fit for the Silver Arrows and may never will be. With Lewis Hamilton's legacy shaping the future, Mercedes is all in on George Russell and Kimi Antonelli as their next chapter begins despite their lack of contracts for 2026 and beyond. We unpack Toto's blunt comments on leadership and how star power is no longer enough to secure a seat with the Brackley team if it simply doesn't sit with the team's image. As big teams across Formula 1 focus on a “team-first” culture, Verstappen's reputation and high-profile contract demands have left him on the outside looking in - potentially with only Aston Martin as an escape route away from Red Bull.#f1 #maxverstappen #georgerussell #totowolff #kimiantonelli #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #redbullracing #mercedesamg #mercedesf1 #canadagp #canadiangp #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama Mercedes Slams the Door Shut on Max Verstappenhttps://youtu.be/KQ5wTyvV1aI

What if Max Verstappen joined Mercedes instead of Red Bull and how would that have shaken up the turbo-hybrid era? 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. We also weigh up the long-term effects if Lewis Hamilton had stayed loyal to McLaren and what that would mean for both Mercedes and F1 history.If you're an F1 fan who loves “what if” scenarios and big sliding-doors moments, this is a must-watch!

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

Ferrari could be about to change how it goes racing, that is if Nico Rosberg in onto something.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFresh rumours suggest Ferrari may finally shift part of its F1 operations to the UK, breaking tradition and putting the legendary team at the heart of Motorsport Valley near Silverstone, the home of the British Grand Prix. With Nico Rosberg's surprising comments on Sky Sports, coupled with cryptic hints from Lewis Hamilton about “big changes” behind the scenes, the paddock is buzzing. Insiders and ex-champions point to Ferrari's decision-making why the team is struggling to catch up after a disappointing 2025 campaign so far. With Hamilton and key Mercedes talent now onboard, the stage could be set for a new era. This video uncovers why this rumored move matters for Ferrari's future, how it could shake up the Formula 1 landscape and what it means for tradition, Italian engineering and the fight for a championship. With rivals like Audi, Racing Bulls, and even Cadillac already set up in the UK, could Ferrari mean that every single F1 team has a UK satellite operation? What would it mean for the team's legacy?#f1 #scuderiaferrari #lewishamilton #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #ferrari #ferrarif1 #charlesleclerc #formula12025 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1update #f1drama

In Canada, Mercedes pulled off the one strategy Red Bull can't ignore: the charm offensive against Max Verstappen.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsToto Wolff is playing the long game, keeping Mercedes calm and composed while Red Bull deals with public drama and failed protests. 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. With Red Bull losing money on stewards' decisions, key staff departures and perhaps mounting pressure from sponsors like Oracle, the team's internal struggles are becoming harder to hide. Meanwhile, Mercedes keeps their focus on track, quietly building momentum and projecting the kind of stability top drivers crave that has eluded them in recent years..As Verstappen's trust in Red Bull is tested and the 2026 regulation changes approach, Wolff's tactical silence turns up the heat. Every contract delay and public statement keeps Red Bull's management on the back foot, ensuring Mercedes remains the most attractive team on the grid. Even if Max doesn't move, Mercedes could get what they wanted anyway!
