Checo’s Revenge Arc Has Begun

George Russell's future look shaky...but could Mercedes send Kimi Antonelli off to Alpine and make room for Max Verstappen?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRumours have, of course, been heating up about a blockbuster Mercedes strategy for 2026. However, I wish to suppose something different. Not much talk has focused on Kimi Antonelli. Should Toto Wolff keep Russell to partner Verstappen - should the deal be done - Alpine might be the Italian's home whilst he continues to develop. In this video, I wish to discuss this less talked situation, what it means for the team’s championship ambitions and why Kimi could offer more to the new Merc customers than his older colleague Valtteri Bottas could. We also explain why Antonelli’s rookie achievements and in-depth knowledge of the 2025 Mercedes could give Alpine a huge advantage just as they switch to Mercedes power units...and could make things even more cost effective!#f1 #maxverstappen #kimiantonelli #georgerussell #totowolff #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1rumours #f1drama #alpinef1 #mercedesamg #mercedesf1 #verstappen #russell #antonelli #bottas #valtteribottas Could Mercedes Send Antonelli to ALPINE for 2026?https://youtu.be/WiE4VTe2nsYCan't watch the ladder?

Williams’ 2025 F1 season has become one of the year’s biggest talking points...for now, perhaps, the WRONG reasons...but perhaps this was coming.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWilliams and their 2025 F1 campaign has gone from a surprise upswing right back to reality in just a few short weeks.

Meanwhile, rival Sauber has been quietly surging forward with clean race-day decisions and steady upgrades, adding salt to Williams’ wounds and capturing fans’ attention.This video breaks down the turning points, the real reasons behind Williams’ furious meltdown and what it means for their future going into 2026.

McLaren conquered Spielberg and Red Bull walked away with nothing.Climb the ladder with me over on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn this more raw race report than usual, there was a lot to unpack despite the leader of the race ultimately remaining the same from qualifying. McLaren’s pace was without doubt at the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix as Lando Norris sealed victory. This means that Oscar Piastri’s championship advantage is down to 15 points and with Max Verstappen being sent out of the race by Kimi Antontelli, his championship defense looks almost impossible to claw back. Behind him Liam Lawson’s flawless one-stop carried Racing Bulls into the constructors fight for sixth while Sauber’s upgrades let Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg harass an ailing George Russell and his Mercedes. Ferrari stayed steady with a top-four double finish and shut Red Bull out on home ground. Fernando Alonso’s crafty one-stop proved age is only a number as Lance Stroll and Alpine faded, Williams burned through another reliability horror and Yuki Tsunoda’s tough weekend summed up Red Bull’s worst home race in years, if not ever. 🐦 https://twitter.com/LawVSX🕚 https://tiktok.com/@lawvsf1🧵 https://threads.net/@lawvsx#f1 #austriangp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #austriangrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #mclaren #charlesleclerc #redbull #f12025 #formula12025 #oscarpiastri #sauber #landonorris #mclaren 2025 Austrian Grand Prix: The WINNERS & LOSERSThe 2025 F1 Austrian Grand Prix WINNERS & LOSERShttps://youtu.be/agzpRZ6GD5c Hosted on Acast.

From the glory years of Williams, Lotus and Brabham to their stunning falls from grace, you’ll learn how icons of innovation and speed were brought low by changing times, financial struggles and devastating leadership decisions. For example, Benetton’s world-beating run fizzled out within just a few years after Michael Schumacher left, Jordan’s underdog magic faded as the paddock changed forever thanks to big name brands stomping over smaller team and what led to the emotional exits of French favourites Ligier and Prost Grand Prix. We also look at how Tyrrell, once an engine of F1 creativity and talent, was slowly edged out by the sport’s rising costs and corporate pressure.Whether you’re a longtime F1 fan or new to the sport, this breakdown offers real insight into how fragile success can be at the highest level.#f1 #formula1 #formulaoneteam The Saddest Ends in F1 Team Historyhttps://youtu.be/ygNuMTaIAlc🐦 https://twitter.com/LawVSX🕚 https://tiktok.com/@lawvsf1🧵 https://threads.net/@lawvsxBrand new PO BOX now open: LawVS, PO BOX 437, WALLINGTON, SM6 6EZ, UKWear a piece of F1 history on your wrist with Mongrip: https://mongrip.com/?ref=mxyyVz7corTaLG Hosted on Acast.

Red Bull’s shock Silverstone gamble could put Liam Lawson’s F1 dream on the line.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull's Helmut Marko is sending 17-year-old prodigy Arvid Lindblad into FP1 at the British Grand Prix and the ripple effect is huge. We break down how his Swedish-Indian roots and record-breaking F2 form create the perfect marketing storm for Red Bull, Liberty Media and provide India a valuable boost to perhaps a return to the F1 calendar. Find out why Helmut Marko is already calling him the next big thing, how Christian Horner hopes a homegrown star will win over a skeptical UK crowd and what this means for Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda. Pay attention to Silverstone and the days after as the team views the track as its unofficial audition stage. Also there's the danger of Lawson’s six penalty points to consider whereas Lindblad?

The 2025 F1 Austrian Grand Prix is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal races of the season...as long as Max Verstappen can convert yet another win here! Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith the spotlight on Max Verstappen seeking a record FIFTH win around the most recent configuration of this track, the pressure is on for Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari to mount a challenge...what a race to go see live! The grid is also buzzing with rumours about Cadillac’s driver choices, with Valtteri Bottas making a LITERAL bid for a seat as per the memes! Young talents like Arvid Lindblad, Dino Beganovic and Alex Dunne are making headlines, with big teams testing the latter two in FP1 this weekend. Red Bull’s own lineup faces scrutiny as Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson battle to meet expectations, while Isack Hadjar waits in the wings. With hot weather and unpredictable conditions expected throughout the weekend, tyre strategy and potential safety cars could shake up the usual order. My predictions are in for a Verstappen bolt off the line but don’t count out George Russell and both McLaren cars of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris to be down and out.#f1 #austriangp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #austriangrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #mclaren #charlesleclerc #redbull #f12025 #formula12025 #mercedes #lewishamilton #landonoris #mclaren The 2025 F1 Austrian Grand Prix Preview & PREDICTIONSMy Predictions for the 2025 F1 Austrian Grand Prixhttps://youtu.be/DtlNKkLx5yEJoin the VS Posse today!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXm93J-6YEUEBs8WlLagrA/join🐦 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.
