Singapore is always pure theatre and the latest Leclerc-Ferrari rumours are a great opening act!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe 2025 Singapore Grand Prix is coming and the drama is already piling on DAYS before it. Rumours are swirling about Charles Leclerc potentially sounding out McLaren, Aston Martin and even Mercedes. With Ferrari’s performance under scrutiny, the barely mentioned condition to his contract extension is back in the news! Meanwhile, Max Verstappen has been speaking about Red Bull’s improved stability, which could mean that even if Yuki Tsunoda is for the chop...at least it will done be much more fairly than it was in history.Who else could stand to do well around Marina Bay? Do I suspect a top 5 repirsal for Carlos Sainz? Will Lewis Hamilton even race this weekend?#f1 #maxverstappen #singaporegp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #singaporegrandprix #charlesleclerc #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #mclaren #oscarpiastri #landonorris #redbull #f12025 #formula12025 #f1drama #f1updates My 2025 F1 Singapore Grand Prix Preview & PREDICTIONSMy Predictions for the 2025 F1 Singapore Grand Prixhttps://youtu.be/0ET2bVWPst0🐦 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.

Max Verstappen just lit up this year's title race...even if he doesn't win it himself!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsA 22-second GT3 win in a Ferrari 296 has capped off a surging wave of fan momentum toward Max Verstappen. His recent triumph reads as pure racing freedom while McLaren’s “equal opportunity” script for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri looks corporate. Zak Brown wants a grandstand finale...but it is becoming less and less genuine-looking.McLaren's boss is right. Max IS a disruptor.#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #nürburgring #nurburgring #gt3 #verstappen #landonorris #oscarpiastri #f1latest #f1updates #f1update #f1drama #f1updates #f12025 Max Verstappen Just Ruined McLaren's Yearhttps://youtu.be/BGAZ6rA8SJMCan't watch the ladder?

Red Bull’s smartest play for 2026 might just be the move nobody expected...nothing!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull Racing has been at the center of constant speculation...but the truth is, stability could be their greatest weapon heading into 2026. With Max Verstappen back in winning form and finally praising the team’s effort, panicked changes risk undoing the progress that has brought them back within reach of second in the Constructors. The bigger picture is all about timing. Rising stars like Arvid Lindblad and Nikola Tsolov are lining up for their shot, but forcing the issue too soon could repeat past mistakes. Giving them a full 2026 season in Formula 2 provides a clean head-to-head that decides who truly deserves the call-up in 2027. Meanwhile, the three seats (other than Verstappen's) are all to play for. The team having yet to make their choices. Here's a choice...no choice!#f1 #maxverstappen #isackhadjar #liamlawson #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #redbullracing #redbull #lawson #tsunoda #honda #yukitsunoda #chinagp #ausgp #f1rumours #helmutmarko #f1news #f1latest #f1drama #f1updates #formula12025 Red Bull’s Best Play for 2026: Do Nothinghttps://youtu.be/7aNuRqH-MGECan't watch the ladder?

Sainz just lit the fuse on his Williams era with his podium. Safe to say it's on again!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsCarlos Sainz’s return to the rostrum with Williams in Baku is proof that everything said up until now is REAL! He turned months of noise into a clean result. In his own words it wasn’t about anyone else. That mindset matches the team’s rise under James Vowles.It also strengthens Sainz’s reputation as an adaptable driver, a real partner of Alex Albon before 2026, the year where Williams expects to be hot property!#f1 #carlossainz #formula1 #scuderiaferrari #ferrari #williamsf1 #williamsracing #formulaone #f12025 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #alexanderalbon #albon #sainz #lewishamilton #f1testing #azerbaijangp Carlos Sainz's revenge arc is BACK ONhttps://youtu.be/dccFtnkJMJcCan't watch the ladder?

Christian Horner's next 'possible destination' could be Haas. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFresh off his departure from Red Bull Racing, Christian Horner has walked away with a $100 million settlement and the freedom to come back to F1 sometime next year. Now recent rumours suggest his next move could involve Haas, the most affordable team on the grid. There, Horner could finally secure the ownership stake he never had at Red Bull.However, Gene Haas has fiercely resisted selling for years. There are plenty of hurdles to this supposed report...but it's not impossible. How could Christian Horner work with Ayao Komatsu and the team itself?

Max Verstappen is back in the hunt and F1 fans WANT it.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMcLaren may have dominated the season so far, but Baku changed everything. Both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris let valuable points slip away while Verstappen won AGAIN, backed by a revitalised Red Bull and a sharper-than-ever Yuki Tsunoda. With Max taking things one race at a time, he’s suddenly positioned as the outsider ready to steal the spotlight...and McLaren being compared to 2007 anyway despite being nicer and no Spygate.The stakes are massive. If McLaren keep splitting points between their drivers while focusing on team glory, Verstappen could walk away with his fifth championship. It's not too late, but papaya rules need to be shelved.#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #landonorris #oscarpiastri #papayarules #mclarenf1team #mclarenf1 #redbullracing #laurentmekies #yukitsunoda #verstappen #f1news #f1latest #f12025 #f1updates #f1drivers #f1drama #azerbaijangp Can't watch the ladder?

Baku 2025 delivered a statement win for Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz's revenge arc is back on!Climb the ladder with me over on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMax Verstappen controlled the 2025 Azerbaijan GP from the front on a bold hard-tyre start, banked a grand slam as he did so and now got people talking about him taking down at least one McLaren in the championship hunt. Mercedes made smart calls as Russell and Antonelli swooped ahead of Ferrari in the team standings! However, Carlos Sainz delivered a composed P3 to give Williams its first on-merit podium in seven years. Yuki Tsunoda kept it clean and Liam Lawson’s career-best P5 pushed Racing Bulls up to sixth...but McLaren’s weekend unraveled with Piastri’s jump start and crash plus a slow stop that blunted Norris in his reply to the Australian.But who else won, lost or were simply meh?The 2025 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix WINNERS & LOSERShttps://youtu.be/CHAoVc9GxyM🐦 https://twitter.com/LawVSX🕚 https://tiktok.com/@lawvsf1🧵 https://threads.net/@lawvsx#f1 #azerbaijangp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #azerbaijangrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #mclaren #yukitsunoda #redbull #f12025 #formula12025 #mercedes #carlossainz #oscarpiastri #mclaren Hosted on Acast.

Next-gen Formula 1 might NOT be about engines alone. Mercedes should be worried.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsPirelli’s Mario Isola dismisses Toto Wolff’s headline-grabbing 400 km/h claim and explains why wider performance gaps between compounds may force two-stop strategies. There seems to be far more to these new regulations than we thought! Including how narrower tyres and smaller diffusers will aim to cut spray...and that we could FINALLY see easier racing in the wet! Here are five things I have understood from Isola's interview about 2026.
