Williams Made The Right Choice

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. 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?

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?

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.

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.
