Mick Schumacher just turned down a fast-track return to Formula 1.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMick Schumacher stunned the paddock (and me) by rejecting Cadillac’s reserve seat even though the offer promised strong pay podium-capable World Endurance machinery and a future path back to F1. Why would he choose the freedom of Alpine? And why McLaren’s 2027 hypercar project could be his smartest long game should Alpine not be his final port of call...Every detail here reshapes Mick’s quest to reclaim an F1 cockpit and build a brand beyond his famous surname.What were perhaps the hidden clauses that clipped Cadillac’s appeal the political tug-of-war between Alpine’s current gains?#f1 #mickschumacher #checo #sergioperez #mclarenf1 #mclaren #formula1 #formulaone #wec #fiawec #f12025 #f12026 #cadillac #cadillacf1 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama Mick Schumacher Walks Away from Cadillachttps://youtu.be/mrMxPpxDKMECan't watch the ladder?

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?

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.
