    Mercedes gamed the F1 rules and it's unravelling

    Toto Wolff's grand master plan for 2026 could be about to unravel. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Upon reflection, Mercedes' plan to dominate Formula 1 in the long term was conceived back in 2019 with their entry into Formula E...where none of their current rivals back then were competing. From there, a series of actions set in motion their political moves to frame the F1 2026 regulations toward the current model. However, their domination has not been as clean as expected. Ferrari and McLaren have shown flashes of competitiveness...and now the FIA is ready to make their move...albeit after Oliver Bearman's crash. #f1 #kimiantonelli #totowolff #georgerussell #formula1 #formulaone #maxverstappen #lewishamilton #michaelschumacher #f12026 #mercedesf1 #f1news #f1regulations #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1car #f1drama The 2026 regs are already on trial - for real https://youtu.be/W5Y5jwjLFlQ Could these changes bring things back toward the competition alongside other adjustements to the 2026 ruleset?

    The cruelest role in F1 right now

    George Russell may wind up having kept Hamilton's throne warm instead of claiming it. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Russell might still win this championship. He’s good enough... but if 2026 keeps making him look like the complicated one while Kimi Antonelli looks like the natural future of Mercedes, then George’s biggest fight may not be with his team-mate at all...it may be with Toto Wolff!, Not to mention a sense of trust and the feeling that perhaps this F1 team is fundamentally geared towards one side of the garage being somewhat the bearer of misfortune...and the public opinion of George doesn't help his case...but was he taught to act like that? There's a lot to unpack. #f1 #kimiantonelli #totowolff #georgerussell #formula1 #formulaone #maxverstappen #lewishamilton #michaelschumacher #f12025 #mercedesf1 #mercedes #gr63 #ka12 #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1car #f1drama The cruelest role in F1 right now https://youtu.be/8abUTciVQ5M Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Can't watch the ladder?

    Aston Martin’s gone from terrifying to embarrassing

    Aston Martin’s gone from horrific to embarrassing...not the best thing in the world but it's something. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs After just three race weekends, Aston Martin and Honda have gotten a car across the line around Suzuka. The Japanese Grand Prix marked the moment when genuine progrees had been made thanks to Honda...and the excuses become more traditional. Gone are the mind-melting nerve damaging reports...and now just a case of finding power and pace. Could this wind up exposing Aston Martin's car in the long run as Honda fix their batteries and end the vibrations? Because Honda isn't letting Adrian Newey and Papa Stroll off the hook here. They've unleashed their inner Max Verstappen. #f1 #fernandoalonso #formula1 #astonmartin #astonmartinf1 #adriannewey #formulaone #f12026 #fiaregulations #f1regulations #f1news #f1latest #japanesegp #f1updates #f1teams #f1cars #f1drivers #f1drama #honda #hondaf1 Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Aston Martin’s gone from horrific to embarrassing https://youtu.be/xg0DTCkGtYM Can't watch the ladder?

    The real reason Max Verstappen wants out

    It's more than just the car...or even the FIA for Max Verstappen. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs The biggest mystery in F1 right now is the real motive as to why Max Verstappen feels weary with these Formula 1 regulations for 2026. Sure, his Red Bull RB22 isn't performing well AND he's made his feelings clear about the Formula One ruleset. For years now! However, instead of relying on pressuring in the way he's been doing up until now, the best way to insist drivers are listened to is to perhaps...not play the game? Today, I wanna discuss the idea that Max has changed tack on his feelings on the rules. That he doesn't feel comfortable or willing to hype up a series which he doesn't enjoy or believe in. How does Liberty Media and FOM respond to THAT? #f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #fia #fiaf1 #fom #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #redbullracing #f1cars #f1teams #f1regulations #stefanodomenicali #f1drama #f1car #redbull #verstappen Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Max Verstappen won’t hype this version of F1 https://youtu.be/gS-orpr0WHA Hosted on Acast.

    F1 Now Has a Legitimacy Problem

    I'm a patient ladder man...but I sense that we were all duped regarding 2026. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs The Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix set in motion a new conversation. That the regulations cannot be ignored in their current guise. The crash of Oliver Bearman and the lack of power Franco Colapinto highlighted an issue drivers have brough to the FIA and FOM's attention for MONTHS now. Even Haas' Ayao Komatsu spoke out...and Haas have every reason to like the F1 2026 ruleset. Thusly, it's important to think about the circumstances of these regs of Formula One...and how they have wound up being more political than environmental. Did Toto Wolff overplay his hand to seek a return to dominant competition? #F1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1regulations #formula12026 #totowolff #f1news #f1teams #f1cars #f1car #f1updates #f1drivers #oliverbearman #francocolapinto #carlossainz #f1drama #f1latest Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff F1 Now Has a Legitimacy Problem https://youtu.be/CdpO4zBHvz0 Hosted on Acast.

    The 2026 F1 Japanese Grand Prix LOSERS & WINNERS

    Blimey. I don't think George Russell expected this to happen...and the FIA hoped it wouldn't. Join the VS Posse today! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXm93J-6YEUEBs8WlLagrA/join Even though this year's F1 Japanese Grand Prix was more interesting the 2025 edition, it wasn't a complete success. Despite more overtakes, the regulators saw their 2026 Formula 1 rules suffer the power starving nature of Suzuka...and a big crash. Is it time for the FIA to sit up even more and take note between now and Miami? Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli secured his second win of his career AND leads the championship for the first time, nine points ahead of Russell. No more senior-junior dynamic in Toto's team? And oh yes, McLaren announced they are back in business with Oscar Piastri. Who else won, lost, or were just plain meh? #f1 #japanesegp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #japanesegrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #lewishamilton #charlesleclerc #redbull #f12026 #formula12025 🐦 https://twitter.com/LawVSX 🕚 https://tiktok.com/@lawvsf1 🧵 https://threads.net/@lawvsx 2026 Japanese Grand Prix: The WINNERS & LOSERS The 2026 F1 Japanese Grand Prix WINNERS & LOSERS https://youtu.be/BKO9FMgqLYg Hosted on Acast.

    Max Verstappen's Own Goal in Suzuka

    Max Verstappen had a good thing going...and then that happened. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs In a shock exchange, the journalist from Abu Dhabi 2025 which got stuck under Max Verstappen's craw comes back into the headlines. Not through another reductive question...but by just breathing the same air as the F1 driver. In that moment, it set a potential precedent. Whilst Max is going through a lot of trials and tribulations in Formula 1 right now with Red Bull and its car, the act has perhaps undone a lot of goodwill he had earned with netural Formula One fans. Is this just another paddock sulk or a proper scandal? Let's discuss.

    The FIA Just Proved Max Verstappen Right

    The FIA responds to our collective worries about F1 qualifying. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs One day before Formula 1 begins running the Japanese Grand Prix proper, the FIA has begun to implement their findings from the 2026 regulations from both testing and the opening two races. The answer, for now? Less power in qualifying. Is this enough to stem the flow of hatred toward Formula One? Maybe. It should at least give more control to the drivers again...and Formula One's commercial arm? Barely a word. This could be a very important moment for the sport, folks. #f1 #japanesegp #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #japangp #formula12026 #f1news #fia #fiaf1 #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #fom #f1drama #f1cars #f1regulations The FIA Just Saved 2026 Qualifying https://youtu.be/Y2C9VxBxTAI Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff Can't watch the ladder?
