The highly anticipated "F1: The Movie" is set for release next week, boasting an impressive 89% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Actor Brad Pitt was seen driving a 2023 MCL60 at COTA, adding to the film's buzz , and the F1 director has teased a "Days of Thunder" crossover as a potential sequel concept. Veteran driver Fernando Alonso has achieved a remarkable milestone, having started an astounding 35.7% of all F1 Grand Prix races in history. Young talents Dino Beganovic and Alex Dunne are set to gain valuable experience in Free Practice 1 (FP1) at Austria, stepping in for Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris, respectively. In organizational news, the FIA has restructured, resulting in the dismissal of Sara Mariani, its Head of Sustainability, Diversity & Inclusion. Istanbul race organizers have publicly stated their readiness to host a Grand Prix if the new Madrid circuit isn't completed for the 2026 season. Liberty Media has received unconditional approval to acquire MotoGP, with the deal expected to finalize by July 3, 2025. James Vowles has signed a new long-term deal with the Williams Formula 1 team, seen by drivers like Alex Albon as a powerful "vote of confidence". The podcast also features an in-depth look at the Austrian Grand Prix's rich and varied history across multiple venues, from the Zeltweg Airfield to the current Red Bull Ring. Max Verstappen has notably dominated at the Red Bull Ring in recent years, securing multiple victories. The 2024 Austrian Grand Prix saw a dramatic race where George Russell secured victory for Mercedes after a collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, who were fiercely battling for the lead. Ferrari's 2025 underperformance is primarily attributed to a fundamental issue with their car's design, specifically its difficulty in running very low to the ground without incurring excessive plank wear in high-speed corners. Both Ferrari and Red Bull are anticipated to introduce substantial upgrades to their cars, with a particular focus on the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix. Key talking points for the upcoming weekend include whether Max Verstappen can reassert dominance on his home turf, Mercedes' momentum after Russell's 2024 win, McLaren's superior tire management, the impact of Ferrari's upgrades, potential track limits issues, and the performance of junior drivers in FP1.

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

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has revealed he got a text from his Williams team boss James Vowles during the Monaco Grand Prix to apologise for the team's tactics.
Albon's manager just dropped a brutal truth about contracts and it could shake Williams' ‘no politics' mantra to the core…Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith Williams rising earlier than expected and Carlos Sainz now on board, the team's driver lineup is suddenly one of the most intriguing in Formula 1. But behind the scenes, Albon's manager has made it clear that no F1 contract is truly bulletproof, hinting at hidden clauses and potential exit strategies if a top team comes calling. As Albon's stock rises and the silly season ramps up, every paddock whisper and contract detail matters. The battle for team leadership is heating up, with Sainz arriving as both a threat and an opportunity for Albon, raising questions about team dynamics and future loyalty. Something that won't sit well the team principal's desire for harmony.Williams isn't taking chances. They're future-proofing the roster with talents like Franco Colapinto and keeping a close eye on the driver market. The stakes are higher than ever as James Vowles tries to maintain a drama-free environment while both drivers' management teams position for power and flexibility. Can Williams become the kind of team that keeps its stars, or will the lure of bigger opportunities prove too tempting for Albon or Sainz to ignore? This is the real story behind the headlines where contract negotiations, performance on track, and team politics collide.

Two iconic F1 teams, but only one came out looking like a future champion...and it wasn't Ferrari.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe 2025 Miami Grand Prix exposed two legendary teams facing similar challenges, but handling them in completely opposite ways. Williams nearly blew a hole in the relationship between Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon due to a botched radio call; but their swift response, public accountability, and team-first culture turned a mistake into momentum. Meanwhile, Ferrari's pit wall once again buckled under pressure, frustrating both Hamilton and Leclerc with indecisive strategy calls and opaque communication with the media. The difference in leadership styles between James Vowles and Fred Vasseur couldn't be clearer. One team is rising, the other is... well, watch and judge for yourself.This video breaks down the key moments from the Miami GP that revealed just how far Williams has come and how stuck Ferrari might still be. We unpack the race-day drama, compare cultures, and spotlight how Williams' long-term thinking could reshape the midfield, while Ferrari continues to struggle with clarity and direction whilst Mercedes and McLaren leave them for dust.#f1 #carlossainz #formula1 #formula1 #miamigp #f1news #f1latest #alexanderalbon #lewishamilton #charlesleclerc #scuderiaferrari #williamsracing #ferrarif1 #williamsf1 #f1updates #f1drama #f1latest #francocolapinto #f12025

After the fairly restrained Japanese Grand Prix we needed a bit of a plate cleanser and that's exactly what Bahrain served up to us for out 2nd race in the Gulf this season. A dominant win for McLaren's Oscar Piastri , but eith more FIA based chaos hiding beneath the surface.This week on the podcast we look at the Bahrain Grand Prix which saw a huge number of technical gremlins strike several teams, and some very strange and late calls from the stewards, which ened up ahving a negative effect on a few driver's races. It all kicked off on Saturday when Nico Hulkenberg's best Q1 lap time was deleted during Q3, but the problem was he'd already taken part in Q2 when it turned out he shouldn't have actually got through, this had a knock on effct on Alex Albon, who should then have made the 2nd session with a car that team principle James Vowles claimed had th pace for Q3.It didn't get much better from there as we had timing failures, George Russell able to open his DRS manually and by mistake (when he wqas trying to use the radio) and who knows what else.

The Carlos Sainz story is not over, but it's certainly evolved past himself and even Charles Leclerc feels it. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsCarlos Sainz's "revenge arc" at Williams may have paused, but it's far from over. After a stellar preseason, Sainz unexpectedly struggled, falling behind his teammate Alex Albon and raising questions about what happened. Is it sabotage, favoritism, or something else entirely? Williams team principal James Vowles clears the air, emphasizing transparency and fairness, putting Sainz's struggles down to adapting to the car rather than deeper technical issues. Meanwhile, Alex Albon is thriving under the new team dynamic, confidently stepping into a leadership role, showcasing impressive consistency, and highlighting Williams' promising rise.As Ferrari and McLaren grapple with internal tensions, Williams is strategically building a harmonious future, bringing in talented young drivers like Victor Martins and Franco Colapinto.
