LawVS - The Ladder Man

I’m not convinced Williams kept their drivers on equal terms.

Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz are both staying at Williams for 2027, but look closer and these are two very different deals. The happy little double announcement isn't quite what it seems. These drivers are no longer the same. There is a number two driver, something which will really hit home come next season...how did we get here?

One thing's for sure, Williams are in a weaker position now than they were two years ago.

Liam Lawson's back at Red Bull as Hadjar misses Zandvoort...but this driver reshuffle says far more about Red Bull than you think!

Isack Hadjar’s "wrist injurty" has unexpectedly sent Liam Lawson back to Red Bull and Yuki Tsunoda back to Racing Bulls. At the same circuit where Lawson made his F1 debut in 2023...in similar circumstances! Beyond the ridiculous coincidence though, this weekend could tell us a lot about how Red Bull now handles its drivers in such scenarios.

There’s also the uncomfortable advantage of Red Bull owning two teams being put on full display for its critics. For me? This is NOT redemeption for either Liam or Yuki, but simply a chance to help their teams out in their own F1 battles.

A wristed development for Zandvoort and F1's return to 2026 racing.

Red Bull reportedly want Max Verstappen for even longer, but Zandvoort arrives with an unpredictable RB22 as well as a resurgent McLaren and Mercedes still dominating qualifying. On top of that, the team has got a potential reshuffle in the works regarding the absence of Isack Hadjar. What a way to return to Formula 1 action, eh?

Aston Martin, Honda and Adrian Newey could reshape the 2028 F1 driver market.

Aston Martin’s 2026 started terribly...but the turnaround has already been good enough to turn heads. Also, Adrian Newey has finally put the initial division aside and admitted both parties are working together closer than ever...and Hungary finally offered evidence that the development tools are beginning to work.

Should this continue, Fernando Alonso could have a curious 2027 campaign...and also bring the entire Formula 1 market banging on his team's door. Could he and Lance Stroll survive that amount of interest?

F1 driver sackings rarely start with the announcement...

F1 teams rarely announce a driver’s seat is in danger...let's talk about it! Pierre Gasly was publicly backed before Red Bull dropped him and Alex Albon was suddenly being asked to “retain” a seat he already had. Nyck de Vries had Daniel Ricciardo waiting in the wings...as you can tell, Red Bull gave me plenty of material!

Suffice to say, drivers have to focus not only on their own performance...but who is readily available within the wider Formula One space.
