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? Let's discuss!
F1's silly season is not over! Red Bull is keeping its head down whilst Mercedes proves to be the loud ones for once.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull is in a state of quiet transformation, refocusing under new leadership and aiming to put the drama behind them. With Christian Horner gone and Laurent Mekies now leading the charge, Max Verstappen's loyalty to Red Bull appears stronger than in a long time.Meanwhile, Mercedes isn't backing down from the headlines. Despite Toto Wolff's claims that George Russell and Kimi Antonelli are the future, ongoing contract uncertainty and whispers from the Mercedes board AND George Russell especially have kept the Verstappen-to-Mercedes saga alive. #f1 #maxverstappen #georgerussell #totowolff #kimiantonelli #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #f12026 #redbullracing #mercedesamg #mercedesf1 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1dramaCan't watch the ladder?

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. Newey's arrival came just in time with the team WAY behind on development thanks to, perhaps, major crises the last two seasons. How IS he taking control of every aspect of the AMR26? 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?

Spa could be the turning point of the season as Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes are keen to stamp down the smack down before the summer.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith Red Bull bringing crucial upgrades and new leadership to Spa, all eyes are on whether Max Verstappen can regain momentum at his home away from home or the team has continued its spiral. McLaren arrives as the team to beat, fresh off back-to-back wins, while Oscar Piastri looks to channel his frustration from Silverstone into a statement victory here and in Budapest next week. Both tracks which served him well in his rookie outings. Ferrari's bold suspension changes around Mugello debut also and Mercedes' strong performance in cooler conditions promise to shake up the top five, while weather and Pirelli's new tyre strategy add layers of unpredictability to the weekend.Fernando Alonso's resurgence in the midfield could bring the team vital points whilst Antonelli's bid for points with Mercedes continues, this preview breaks down the form guide discussed the latest news and who I think will score and ultimately contest for the win!#f1 #belgiangp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #belgiangrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #mclaren #landonorris #redbull #f12025 #formula12025 #mercedes #lewishamilton #oscarpiastriThe 2025 F1 Belgian Grand Prix Preview & PREDICTIONSMy Predictions for the 2025 F1 Belgian Grand Prixhttps://youtu.be/6OPpDPNJ1R0Join the VS Posse today!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXm93J-6YEUEBs8WlLagrA/join
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?

Oscar Piastri is leading the charge in only his third season, while George Russell's leadership at Mercedes and Nico Hulkenberg's long-awaited podium have turned heads across the paddock. 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. Carlos Sainz's move to Williams isn't paying off, Alpine is stuck at the back with a car that refuses to cooperate and even Fernando Alonso felt the pressure so far this year.

Mercedes is already ripe for speculation...but now are we witnessing a turning point for Kimi Antonelli? Why isn't Toto Wolff nipping the rumours in the bud amidst the Verstappen talk?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsToto Wolff's long-term plan for Kimi Antonelli is being questioned as rumours swirl around 2026. 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Oscar Piastri's bid for victory ended with a harsh penalty and Max Verstappen saw Red Bull's low downforce punt unravel in the rain...but WHO ELSE won, lost and meh'd their way this weekend?
George Russell's future look shaky...but could Mercedes send Kimi Antonelli off to Alpine and make room for Max Verstappen?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRumours have, of course, been heating up about a blockbuster Mercedes strategy for 2026. However, I wish to suppose something different. Not much talk has focused on Kimi Antonelli. Should Toto Wolff keep Russell to partner Verstappen - should the deal be done - Alpine might be the Italian's home whilst he continues to develop. In this video, I wish to discuss this less talked situation, what it means for the team's championship ambitions and why Kimi could offer more to the new Merc customers than his older colleague Valtteri Bottas could. We also explain why Antonelli's rookie achievements and in-depth knowledge of the 2025 Mercedes could give Alpine a huge advantage just as they switch to Mercedes power units...and could make things even more cost effective!#f1 #maxverstappen #kimiantonelli #georgerussell #totowolff #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1rumours #f1drama #alpinef1 #mercedesamg #mercedesf1 #verstappen #russell #antonelli #bottas #valtteribottas Could Mercedes Send Antonelli to ALPINE for 2026?https://youtu.be/WiE4VTe2nsYCan't watch the ladder?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Williams have crashed the party at the front of F1...and their disruptive tactics are making life tough for Mercedes especially.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWilliams are no longer just a midfield F1 team...they're becoming the tactical disruptors Ferrari and Mercedes didn't see coming. Their progress this season has flipped the script, blocking Mercedes from key points finishes and limiting the potential of Ferrari on ocassion early in the 2025 season. The Monaco Grand Prix was a turning point, as Williams pulled off reactive strategy moves that left Toto Wolff's team scrambling, ultimately scoring NO points. With smart investments, a lighter chassis and a clear focus on consistency, Williams are now capitalizing on every opportunity, proving that stability and execution can outmaneuver even bigger teams despite James Vowles insisting 2025 is not a priority. This was all untapped potential, people!Meanwhile, Mercedes is caught in a cycle of chasing upgrades, wrestling with a once again tricky car and facing a technical directive that could make their challenge even steeper. It will be like the W15 had never left! As Mercedes weighs whether to keep pushing or pivot to the all-important 2026 season, it's all gravy for Williams!#f1 #williamsracing #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #mercedesf1 #mercedesamg #totowolff #jamesvowles #alexanderalbon #carlossainz #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #f1news #monacogp #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #f12026 How Williams Became Mercedes' Worst Nightmare in 2025https://youtu.be/ib80EOzQk0E
Isack Hadjar is on the brink of something big in Formula 1, but Red Bull may need to slow down before making their next move.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull's junior program has a reputation for rushing talented drivers, but this time, the story is different. Isack Hadjar has quickly become one of the most talked-about rookies of 2025, even MORE so than Kimi Antonelli; showing fans and critics alike that he's more than just a rising star...he's the real deal. From rising above the turmoil of Melbourne to a 'perfect' weekend performance in Monaco, Hadjar's combination of speed, personality and resilience is winning over F1's toughest audience. Backed by Lewis Hamilton and praised by teammates Yuki Tsunoda and now Liam Lawson, he's proving himself as a future contender, but with just eight F1 race starts, the stakes are high and the pressure is building.Rushing Hadjar into the senior Red Bull seat could repeat the same mistakes that left previous talents struggling, including Lawson THIS YEAR. Also, why rush? Racing Bulls is investing in new technology and giving Hadjar the perfect environment to develop into a force for the future when Max Verstappen may choose to move on. Keeping Hadjar right where he is might be the smartest move Red Bull can make. #f1 #redbullracing #formula1 #f12025 #maxverstappen #yukitsunoda #liamlawson #isackhadjar #verstappen #tsunoda #hadjar #formulaone #f1updates #f1latest #redbull #f1drama #f1drivers #visacashapprb #vcarb #racingbulls

From surprise podiums to controversial moves and some costly penalties, we walk through who came out on top, who's under pressure and what it means heading into the next round.
Formula 1 finally shakes up its most iconic race, the Monaco Grand Prix, with game-changing rules and big risks.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThis weekend's Monaco Grand Prix promises chaos, strategy and unpredictability with a new FIA-mandated two-stop rule set to break the tradition of processional, single-stop races. Top drivers like Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz are weighing in, with Max cautiously optimistic that it could finally inject some real excitement while Sainz raises the alarm over potential team tactics and artificial outcomes. Plus, fresh rules at the Nouvelle Chicane are closing loopholes and forcing drivers to keep it clean, meaning every pit stop and every on-track battle will be under the microscope. There's a real possibility of seeing underdog teams take a shot at glory which could rewrite everything you think you know about F1's most famous street circuit.With penalties looming for missed pit stops and the potential for safety cars, red flags and wild strategic gambles, nothing is off the table. Will these changes finally bring overtaking and tension back to Monaco or just fuel more drama and controversy?

Lando Norris is swinging hard this season, but is he hitting air while Max Verstappen plays the long game?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsLando Norris is taking the fight to Max Verstappen in 2025 not just on the track, but in front of every microphone. 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? He's in danger of becoming the loudest voice in an empty room.#F1 #LandoNorris #MaxVerstappen #OscarPiastri #FormulaOne #ImolaGP #MonacoGP #Formula1 #RedBullRacing #McLaren #F12025 #ImolaGP #F1Drama #F1Rivalry #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama Max Verstappen's Silence hurts Norris More Than Wordshttps://youtu.be/eM1yb-PxnpQ
