My 2024 F1 Japanese Grand Prix Preview & PREDICTIONS

McLaren is sitting on a powder keg of performance and politics.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe orange squad’s constructors defense depends on a fragile peace between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri...and for it to last for YEARS. 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. The two-alpha gamble similar to historic partnerships like Senna and Prost/Hamilton and Rosberg and Zak Brown's desire to outshine Ron Dennis.#f1 #mclarenf1 #formula1 #formulaone #mclaren #mclarenf1team #landonorris #oscarpiastri #piastri #norris #f1latest #f1news #f12025 #formula12025 #f1updates #f1drama What’s REALLY Going On With McLaren?https://youtu.be/o1PSTnqVjLYCan't watch the ladder?

Sergio Perez is rewriting the story of his Formula 1 career.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsCheco’s partnership with Valtteri Bottas is primarily about experience and goodwill for the Cadillac F1 project.

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?

F1 is back and the Dutch Grand Prix hosts its return...and another McLaren 1-2, perhaps?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAfter a long break, Formula 1 returns to Zandvoort for the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix with major headlines shaking up the grid. 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. Plus, we spotlight Lewis Hamilton’s fresh mindset as he finds his feet at Ferrari and what that could spell for the season’s second half.#f1 #dutchgp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #dutchgrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #mclaren #oscarpiastri #redbull #f12025 #formula12025 #landonorris #mclaren #georgerussell #alexpalou My 2025 F1 Dutch Grand Prix Preview & PREDICTIONSMy Predictions for the 2025 F1 Dutch Grand Prixhttps://youtu.be/sEX6nvzoJ88🐦 https://twitter.com/LawVSX🕚 https://tiktok.com/@lawvsf1🧵 https://threads.net/@lawvsxWear a piece of F1 history on your wrist with Mongrip: https://mongrip.com/?ref=mxyyVz7corTaLG Hosted on Acast.

Now Valtteri Bottas is being linked with Cadillac’s 2026 F1 debut alongside Checo Perez, the deal supposedly almost done.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsCadillac F1 is lining up a veteran pairing as reports from Formula.hu and RacingNews365 point to Valtteri Bottas joining Sergio Perez. A safe lineup, of sorts, going against the previous thoughts regarding Mario Andretti's ideal, but it CAN be smart for a brand new team in a Netflix era that rewards familiarity and clean storylines.#f1 #formula1 #valtteribottas #sergioperez #checo #checoperez #cadillac #cadillacf1 #f1news #formulaone #f1latest #f1updates #f1drivers #f1driver #f1drama #f1rumors Can't watch the ladder?

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. Timing kept shutting the door just as it opened.Helmut Marko Drops HUGE Red Bull-Hulkenberg Bombshellhttps://youtu.be/6sqWa9C-SG0https://youtu.be/6sqWa9C-SG0#f1 #maxverstappen #verstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #nicohulkenberg #hulkenberg #redbullracing #redbullf1 #helmutmarko #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama #sergioperez #checoperez #checo Hosted on Acast.

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. If this all clicks, Albon becomes a credible leader in a new chapter.#f1 #maxverstappen #alexalbon #formula1 #formulaone #redbullracing #alexanderalbon #f1news #f1latest #f12025 #williamsf1 #f12026 #f1drama #christianhorner #albon #redbullf1 #redbull Red Bull’s Next Big Gamble After Hornerhttps://youtu.be/vv4fOSXEGJo Hosted on Acast.
