  1. The Best F1 2026 Team Hiding in Plain Sight

    The Best F1 2026 Team Hiding in Plain Sight

    I think I've got a clue as to where the teams are right now before final testing. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Lap times don't matter...but tyre choices and lap counts kinda do. I want to look at what each F1 team has chosen for the final three days and deduce where they are at, now the baseline Formula 1 platforms are somewhat laid down. So far, Ferrari look like the most settled team whilst Red Bull keep on trucking and Mercedes? They're wobbling a little bit...or are they sandbagging? Whilst this isn't a concrete prediction, it's the start of many months of wondering who's won the Formula 1 2026 preparation cycle? #f1 #formula1 #f1testing #formulaone #f12026 #f1teams #f1drivers #charlesleclerc #maxverstappen #georgerussell #f1drama #f1news #f1updates #f1predictions Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Can't watch the ladder?

    Red Bull’s Chief Designer QUITS Days Before Australia

    Red Bull's chief designer has quit days before F1 2026 begins. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Craig Skinner, Red Bull's chief designer since the RB18 of 2022, has reportedly left the team just three weeks before the first round of Formula 1 in 2026 begins. Based on recent high level departures, we are programmed to think this is the end of the world...well, is it though? Could Laurent Mekies and the new Red Bull Racing simply be recalibrating to what Formula One has become? A more energy managed formula instead of one where aerodynamic domination was crucial, the ground effect era?

    Ferrari's got McLaren Running Scared to the FIA

    Nobody's talked about Ferrari...but McLaren is...and they're worried. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs It's become clear that start procedures for F1 2026 have some work need doing to them...but Ferrari have blocked any changes? Why? Well, they had answer a year ago but nobody would listen! So they went their own way and the car of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc could have the edge when it comes to Formula 1 race starts. However, McLaren have something to say amidst all the other positive news coming from the Scuderia about their upgrades. What could this mean? #f1 #lewishamilton #scuderiaferrari #charlesleclerc #ferrarif1 #f1drivers #f1teams #f1team #mclarenf1 #mclaren #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f12026 #formula1 #formulaone #f1testing Ferrari has McLaren Running Scared to the FIA https://youtu.be/dWI8K0nP_Q0 Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Can't watch the ladder?

    Lance Stroll Exposed Aston Martin's Crisis

    Aston Martin COULD have a good car...but it's WOEFULLY underbaked in the energy department. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Could Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll be hamstrung thanks to a car which had to, by design, be aerodynamically advanced whilst lacking in terms of engine power as well as good use of the battery and electrical gubbins necessary in F1 for the 2026 season? Given what we have seen, things are not looking good...and the Spaniard is barely hanging in there whilst his teammate is already writing off the season with the team FOUR SECONDS behind the leaders. What can Adrian Newey do? What happens with Lawrence Stroll's team now? Can this team recover and be a place to call home for elite like Charles Leclerc or even Max Verstappen? #f1 #fernandoalonso #adriannewey #formula1 #maxverstappen #lancestroll #formulaone #f12026 #formula12026 #astonmartinf1 #astonmartin #f1news #adriannewey #f1latest #f1teams #f1drivers #f1updates #f1drama Lance Stroll Exposed Aston Martin's Crisis https://youtu.be/vLtpf4zK6vg Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Can't watch the ladder?

  5. Red Bull Just Humbled Mercedes...right?

    6D AGO

    Red Bull Just Humbled Mercedes...right?

    Yes, Toto Wolff was gassing up Red Bull...but with evidence. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs As Mercedes stares into the abyss of their engine facing FIA scrutiny, their boss has changed the subject by talking about how GOOD Red Bull and their Ford powertrain project is looking after the first day of the Bahrain pre-season F1 test. However, this is a little different to the usual sandbagging we usually think from Mercedes. This time, Wolff talks about how good Max Verstappen has managed the new electrical managment principles of Formula 1 cars going into 2026. Downshifting to charge the battery with no issues? That could be a game changer. And oh yes, it shows Mercedes are not dominant, nor perfect...and Aston Martin? The hype of the winter...it looks a little tricky and perhaps having gone down the wrong path at this time. It's all getting fascinating, isn't it? #f1 #f1testing #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #totowolff #mercedesf1 #mercedesamg #redbullracing #maxverstappen #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #f1drama #f1news Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Red Bull Just Humbled Mercedes...right? https://youtu.be/WuXoxm12c0Y Can't watch the ladder?

    F1's 2026 Engine War Just GOT EVEN MORE Political

    The FIA has stepped in and admitted there is a problem. It can't win. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Toto Wolff and Mercedes are dealing with a lot of resistance despite following the rules for F1 2026 engines...but despite the compliance thus far, the Formula 1 governing body single seater rep Nicholas Tombazis elaborated their stance to find a solution with the other teams which include Ferrari, Honda, Audi and now Red Bull. Cadillac stepping in despite not starting yet? That shows how political this whole situation has got...and it may not be the main source of speed for this Formula One car after all! #f1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1testing #totowolff #mercedesf1 #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #fia #fiaf1 #formula12026 F1's 2026 Engine Fight Just GOT EVEN MORE Political https://youtu.be/g4PY-usqGUE Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Can't watch the ladder?

    The Worst To Best 2026 F1 Cars Revealed

    F1's 2026 car liveries are all out in the open - which are the worst and best? Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Today, let's discuss which Formula 1 designs from Ferrari to Aston Martin have landed...and which have either flopped or missed the mark. McLaren chose to repeat itself whilst Mercedes evolved a growing classic. Red Bull went glossy again, Cadillac aimed for the moon (literally) and Racing Bulls left itself (and its airbox) wide open. Which of these won, lost or were just meh...and what do you reckon? #f1 #formulaone #formula1 #f12026 #redbullf1 #formula12026 #f1liveries #f1car #f1carlaunch #redbullracing #scuderiaferrari #mercedesf1 #mclaren #astonmartin #alpine #williamsf1 #vcarb #sauber #haasf1 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #cadillac Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff The Worst To Best 2026 F1 Cars Revealed https://youtu.be/i8CduEQ4o6c Can't watch the ladder?

    Cadillac’s F1 Plan More Dangerous Than Audi’s

    Cadillac made a big splash at the Super Bowl...they're a team in a hurry. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Sergio Perez followed Cadillac and General Motors' wishes for ambition and no hand-holding for the F1 team's first season in the sport. Forget the patience Audi is seeking, the new American Formula 1 team is going big in its wishes to be taken seriously with its initial Andretti project backed by TWG money and influence. And oh yes! The livery lacked colour, but it made up for it in depth and meaning. #f1 #cadillacf1 #checo #sergioperez #valtteribottas #cadillacf1team #cadillac #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1news #f1latest #f1drama #f1teams #f1drivers #gmvsford #fordvsgm #fordperformance #fordracing #redbullracing Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Can't watch the ladder?
