Franco Colapinto Might Be Alpine’s Only Bright Spot

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.

My wife and I just left the theater after catching the F1 Movie. Here’s what you need to know before you see it.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsGet our honest thoughts on F1: The Movie. Sure, it's a bit of a cheese-fest, but it's of the charming kind! From its jaw-dropping visuals best experienced in IMAX to its surprisingly heartfelt story, this film delivers more than just fast cars and big crashes. It’s packed with genuine moments of teamwork, camaraderie and a few laugh-out-loud lines which I enjoyed for what it was.Yes, the movie leans into the cheese and Hollywood drama, but it also pays real tribute to the spirit of racing in places, Sonny Hayes being a lot more of a deep character than you think and you actually CARE about the team. The Daytona opener is especially a true highlight and a perfect showcase of what the movie can be! I give it four rungs out of five!#f1 #f1movie #formula1 #formulaone #f1themovie #moviereview F1 - The Movie Review [SPOILERS]https://youtu.be/tivqD0zvP1Ihttps://youtu.be/tivqD0zvP1I🐦 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.

Mercedes has slammed the door shut on any hopes of Max Verstappen joining their F1 team; and Toto Wolff’s latest comments make it clear why.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn this video, we break down everything you need to know about the shifting power dynamics at Mercedes, Toto Wolff’s tough stance on team culture and why Max Verstappen is no longer a fit for the Silver Arrows and may never will be. With Lewis Hamilton’s legacy shaping the future, Mercedes is all in on George Russell and Kimi Antonelli as their next chapter begins despite their lack of contracts for 2026 and beyond. We unpack Toto’s blunt comments on leadership and how star power is no longer enough to secure a seat with the Brackley team if it simply doesn't sit with the team's image. As big teams across Formula 1 focus on a “team-first” culture, Verstappen’s reputation and high-profile contract demands have left him on the outside looking in - potentially with only Aston Martin as an escape route away from Red Bull.#f1 #maxverstappen #georgerussell #totowolff #kimiantonelli #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #redbullracing #mercedesamg #mercedesf1 #canadagp #canadiangp #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama Mercedes Slams the Door Shut on Max Verstappenhttps://youtu.be/KQ5wTyvV1aI🐦 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.

Franco Colapinto has closed the gap to Pierre Gasly just when Alpine faces its toughest season yet.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWhy is Franco Colapinto turning heads in Formula 1 during a season where Alpine is struggling more than ever? Easy! With big changes shaking up the team, a drop in performance and uncertainty at every level, Colapinto’s promotion to the race seat couldn’t have come at a harder moment. Still, his performances have quietly outshone Jack Doohan’s, with Franco consistently finishing closer to teammate Pierre Gasly despite having far less experience in the car and as Alpine fall further away from their rivals. Fans might be on the fence, but the stats show that Colapinto’s rapid adaptation, clean record and cool head are exactly what Alpine needs right now.I have stats to back me up though! With Alpine’s future up in the air and sponsors watching closely, every race matters and Colapinto is meeting every challenge so far. As management and driver line-ups shift, could Franco become a long-term asset for Alpine and bring fresh interest from Argentina just when the team needs it most? #f1 #francocolapinto #formula1 #pierregasly #formulaone #f12025 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1update #f1drama #colapinto #gasly #flaviobriatore #alpinef1 #alpinef1team #alpine Franco Colapinto Proves Alpine Made the Right Callhttps://youtu.be/iKvoAZlEAdo🐦 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.

Ferrari could be about to change how it goes racing, that is if Nico Rosberg in onto something.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFresh rumours suggest Ferrari may finally shift part of its F1 operations to the UK, breaking tradition and putting the legendary team at the heart of Motorsport Valley near Silverstone, the home of the British Grand Prix. With Nico Rosberg’s surprising comments on Sky Sports, coupled with cryptic hints from Lewis Hamilton about “big changes” behind the scenes, the paddock is buzzing. Insiders and ex-champions point to Ferrari’s decision-making why the team is struggling to catch up after a disappointing 2025 campaign so far. With Hamilton and key Mercedes talent now onboard, the stage could be set for a new era. This video uncovers why this rumored move matters for Ferrari’s future, how it could shake up the Formula 1 landscape and what it means for tradition, Italian engineering and the fight for a championship. With rivals like Audi, Racing Bulls, and even Cadillac already set up in the UK, could Ferrari mean that every single F1 team has a UK satellite operation? What would it mean for the team’s legacy?#f1 #scuderiaferrari #lewishamilton #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #ferrari #ferrarif1 #charlesleclerc #formula12025 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1update #f1drama 🐦 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.

In Canada, Mercedes pulled off the one strategy Red Bull can’t ignore: the charm offensive against Max Verstappen.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsToto Wolff is playing the long game, keeping Mercedes calm and composed while Red Bull deals with public drama and failed protests. In the midst of high-stakes politics, George Russell’s impressive form and quiet loyalty have become key assets for Mercedes, me finally realising just what Mercedes are up to in NOT signing both Kimi Antonneli and Russel ASAP; the team holding off on finalising his contract AND keeping the F1 world guessing about Max Verstappen’s future. With Red Bull losing money on stewards’ decisions, key staff departures and perhaps mounting pressure from sponsors like Oracle, the team’s internal struggles are becoming harder to hide. Meanwhile, Mercedes keeps their focus on track, quietly building momentum and projecting the kind of stability top drivers crave that has eluded them in recent years..As Verstappen’s trust in Red Bull is tested and the 2026 regulation changes approach, Wolff’s tactical silence turns up the heat. Every contract delay and public statement keeps Red Bull’s management on the back foot, ensuring Mercedes remains the most attractive team on the grid. Even if Max doesn't move, Mercedes could get what they wanted anyway!
