LawVS - The Ladder Man

Mercedes' battery is looking fragile...and now Ferrari's turned up the heat!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAfter seven rounds, Antonelli leads the championship but the W17 keeps stopping. They know what's causing it...but there's no timeline for a fix. This weekend's forecast? An orange heat warning. Great.Meanwhile, Ferrari's first engine upgrade reportedly lands in Austria, giving Hamilton even more power on top of the aero step that won him Barcelona by twenty seconds. Now, Wolff's now discussing how to manage Russell and Antonelli racing each other. Who will make this race's top 5 for me?

Now MCLAREN auditioned drivers for Esteban Ocon's seat at Haas. Three giants after one tiny seat. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsLast week, McLaren's Leo Fornaroli drove a Haas at Jerez. The same week, Rafael Camara drove a Ferrari at Barcelona. With the idea of capturing the same seat!With Andrea Stella doing everything he can to get his reserve into F1 next year, this is a surprising twist for the place alongside Bearman for 2027. To top it all off, Toyota want a Japanese driver in the car they title-sponsor. Ocon called the speculation "almost like bullying."...and ultimately his team responded by inviting strangers to try his car. And what of Jack Doohan?#f1 #estebanocon #formula1 #haasf1 #yukitsunoda #formulaone #f12026 #scuderiaferrari #mclarenf1 #ocon #fornaroli #mclaren #f12027 #sillyseason #drivermarket #f1rumours #f1gossip #f1drama Haas Just Made Ocon's Worst Fear Visiblehttps://youtu.be/dwMuLTQMqNU Hosted on Acast.

Gasly got his podium back...but why are Mercedes filing a case they expect to lose?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe Monaco GP penalty mess should have ended when Pierre Gasly got his podium back. Instead, it's opened a much bigger problem. Russell, Hamilton, Piastri and Colapinto all served penalties too, but the FIA only redeemed Gasly. Why? There was no clear rule to redeem others. Now Mercedes, McLaren and Red Bull are fighting through different legal routes for the same precedent...to be there when the rule gets changed and have a say. Or else if this happens again, why bother serving the penalty if you can argue it later? What a mess.Gasly's Appeal Isn't Really About Gasly Anymorehttps://youtu.be/QZkc8ApcAwA#f1 #formula1 #monacogp #pierregasly #mercedesf1 #georgerussell #oscarpiastri #mclarenf1 #redbullracing #fia #f1news #f1analysis #formulaone Hosted on Acast.

Lewis Hamilton won for Ferrari, but Barcelona may have told us something far bigger about Mercedes.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMercedes still lead both championships, so no, I'm not saying they're done for. But Barcelona exposed three cracks they can’t ignore. First, a car that keeps switching itself off. Then there's Toto Wolff questioning his own “let them race” philosophy and then, of course, the ADUO. The thing which gives Ferrari its ticket to leading the F1 field for the rest of 2026. No wonder Wolff has been so determined to limit the ADUO's potential. #f1 #totowolff #lewishamilton #formula1 #formulaone #barcelonagp #f12026 #scuderiaferrari #mercedesf1 #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #f1news #f1opinions #f1latest #f1updates #f1gossip #f1drama #f1teams #f1team Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffToto Wolff Just Lost Control Of His Own Storyhttps://youtu.be/P9Qcr2NqMLU Hosted on Acast.

The FIA boss says he was unopposed...but now he wants to rule forever.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsYou heard me, folks. Ben Sulayem wants to SCRAP the limit of the presidency he occupies...already! However, there are two more changes tabled too...ones which make opposing him that much harder to pull off...so why are the people with the most to lose, the drivers, the teams, F1 itself not shouting out loud about this?

McLaren backed Lando Norris and got the trophy. Then Oscar Piastri said Red Bull interest is 'flattering.'Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMcLaren's 2025 settlement is now costing them as the team is not winning...at all. Norris said in Melbourne he'd retire from Formula 1 rather than leave McLaren. Then Piastri called Red Bull interest 'flattering' before Canada. And Zak Brown's 'contracts aside' answer to The Athletic does more work than anyone noticed...that perhaps the bill from last year isn't fulfilling the deal made with number 81. When you then consider the McLaren orange machine now spans F1, IndyCar, WEC GTs, an incoming Hypercar programme, F1 Academy and golf?! Yeah, things are I think suffering. McLaren is too thin.#f1 #oscarpiastri #landonorris #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #mclarenf1 #mclaren #papayarules #zakbrown #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1cars #f1drama #f1gossip #f1news #f1latestGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

What happens when the gods get involved with George Russell?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsGeorge Russell's chances of a world title took a major blow thanks to his F1 car's battery conking out on him whilst Kimi Antonelli secured a record-making fourth win in a row.

Mercedes' Bradley Lord tried to retire the Max Verstappen story...but Max himself said did that already.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAt the same time as the N24, Toto Wolff's deputy Bradley Lord went on a German channel and tried to retire the Max Verstappen story (arguably Toto's successor-in-training). He said Max's anger about the 2026 regulations is fading because Red Bull's getting better. Problem is that, Max himself said the opposite back around Miami... that doesn't happen by accident. So why did the comms guy do it now? And what's actually being closed here? Let's talk about that. I think Mercedes want the Max story BURIED.#f1 #formula1 #f12026 #maxverstappen #bradleylord #mercedes #totowolff #redbull #canadiangp #kimiantonelli #formulaone #f1news #f1politics #f1drama #f1gossipGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Mercedes Just Walked Away From Max Verstappenhttps://youtu.be/n8JxDGtPZdY Hosted on Acast.
