LawVS - The Ladder Man

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/lawvsSergio 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 #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Oscar Piastri's silent strategy might reap the rewards of 2026's way to win in F1.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsEven though papaya rules faced resistance from many Formula 1 fans, McLaren are choosing to continue using them, albeit with some simple modifications...and Lando Norris' teammate is more than happy to comply...and that might be the culmination of years of understanding and following McLaren's principles to the letter...despite plenty of 'headaches' in 2025 for his own Formula One title campaign. He still reckons he's got a 'fair shot' of success in 2026.Could this tactic of compliance and silence within the media (avoiding drama and public friction) offer up a chance to lead development of the MCL40, should he settle with it better in this new regulation cycle?#f1 #oscarpiastri #landonorris #mclarenf1 #mclarenf1team #mclaren #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1teams #f1team #f1driver #piastri #norris #f1news #f1latest #formula12026 #f1testing #f1drama Papaya Rules May Have Created A Monsterhttps://youtu.be/fMXv-WllkUkGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Williams finally have a working car...and it's an interesting one.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe FW48 F1 car of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz has broken cover around Silverstone for a surprise run in before next week's first Bahrain Formula 1 test before the 2026 season. It looks different. Not as different as the Aston Martin Formula One car of Adrian Newey...but its front suspension mirrors that of NONE of the front running teams.

Aston Martin ramps up its story for 2026...by turning Adrian Newey into a messiah.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsNine months ago, Adrian Newey was talking modestly and preventing hype from reigning supreme. Now? His face is the symbol of the Formula 1 team. On top of that, the AMR26 F1 car we saw in Barcelona for the Formula One shakedown will not be the same car we see in Australia for the first round of the season. Were we wrong to hype it or is this all part of the plan to provide Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll the best car possible for their first season with Honda power...or a platform where they could be called out?#f1 #fernandoalonso #adriannewey #formula1 #maxverstappen #lancestroll #formulaone #f12026 #formula12026 #astonmartinf1 #astonmartin #f1news #adriannewey #f1latest #f1teams #f1drivers #f1updates #f1drama Aston Martin Turns Adrian Newey Into a Messiahhttps://youtu.be/mR0lfwbcUOsGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Toto Wolff let loose on his rivals in ongoing engine controversy.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAs the Mercedes W17 was formally launched (despite being first seen almost two weeks ago), the team and its principal Toto Wolff exerted their confidence regarding the rules for the 2026 F1 season...and the latter made his feelings clear about certain teams continuing the push for clarification regarding engine compression limits and how they're measured. Let's say it got colourful.As that's going on, Haas' Ayao Komatsu commented that perhaps said engine tweak may not be the biggest game-changer for Formula 1 teams...energy management might be.

I know it's testing, but we got SOME clues as to which F1 team handled it better than others.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith the first showcase of 2026 F1 cars behind us, we may not know times or the proper pecking order of teams...but Ferrari managed to throw some surprises in our way with their SAFE car. They might have a faster one if the FIA approves it. Could that be the thing that keeps them as the Mercedes challenger and Lewis Hamilton a chance for some proper Ferrari success in 2026 AND to keep Charles Leclerc for another year?Then there's also the matter of Red Bull. Do they have a car and engine which pleases Max Verstappen? Well, for now, yes. However it's early days but plenty to smile about...unlike with Audi who suffered the most issues of any team...and McLaren? It was a decent start but not a hot one; same for Aston Martin.Which other teams won out, lost out or were not doing enough to draw a conclusion?#f1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1shakedown #f1testing #f1teams #f1drivers #f1latest #f1updates #f1news #f1drama The 2026 F1 Shakedown Winners and Losershttps://youtu.be/E3HBwpoKIRwGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

F1's handling of the shakedown test just got a lot messier thanks to Isack Hadjar's "small off". Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe events of the second day of pre-season running of Formula 1 cars has only gone and brought into sharp relief the awkward nature of this first chapter of the 2026 season. The teams want privacy, Formula One wants content and us fans? We just want stuff to chew over after weeks of nothing but speculation.Instead, we got a scenario where nobody is happy. Teams are being analysed by the media anyway (despite their security measures), F1 is facing tons of backlash and fans are left frustrated...with Red Bull Racing's Hadjar the centre of this firestorm...and that's BEFORE the second seat curse chestnut.#f1 #redbullracing #isackhadjar #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1shakedown #f1testing #formula12026 #redbull #hadjar #f1news #f1latest #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1updates #f1crashes #f1crash #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffF1 Just Made Isack Hadjar’s Situation Messierhttps://youtu.be/S1lXg3OHaH4https://youtu.be/S1lXg3OHaH4Can't watch the ladder?

Williams derail themselves before 2026 even starts...or have they?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe only team that isn't in Barcelona for the F1 shakedown event of 2026...is the team that most Formula 1 fans hoped for success. With Williams choosing to skip this first test event of the year and instead go digital before arriving in Bahrain, is this game over for this time before the Formula 1 2026 season is even at pace? Not necessarily.Could James Vowles be leading Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz into a plan similar to Mercedes? Where data and computers are important in improving the understanding of energy?

Audi is officially within Formula 1...their first mission? Take on Mercedes!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWhat a way to make an entrance. Audi has used its first major F1 themed event to lay down its intent to talk like a big manufacturer, instead of a backmarker survivor that Sauber used to be. With this newfound clout, its leaders are coming after Mercedes and Red Bull in regards to the swirling news regarding an engine innovation that the FIA is hearing out engine makers about soon. With Ferrari and Honda alongside them, Audi are making it clear they mean business and are keen to act like a force to be reckoned with. Less shouty, more strong and diplomatic.

The RB22, piloted by Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar, looked wonderful and the team looked extremely optimistic for the Formula 1 season ahead.As that was going the Racing Bulls VCARB03 launched...to a less favourable read.
