LawVS - The Ladder Man

McLaren’s new logo looks wrong to many fans...but I like it...and I get why it's here.

McLaren’s new logo has been likened to a hotel chain...but hear me out.

This logo has prestige...and a clear sign that the company sees what Ferrari did wants to try it for themselves...helps that its own chairman is helping them out!With hundreds of millions of losses in the car side of the McLaren brand, a new tack is needed...and I want to look into it. Is McLaren just copying Ferrari? Not quite...but it certainly wants to figure out WHY they were successful. The F1 team is just the start!

Why is F1’s famous pink car disappearing?

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs

BWT not only sponsored an F1 team...it made the car pink. That colour became one of Formula 1’s most recognisable sponsor identities of the modern area, the Drive to Survive era. But with Gucci replacing BWT at Alpine from 2027 and Haas already ruling out a pink car, something has changed.

This is the story of how BWT turned pink into a marketing weapon...and why modern F1 teams are increasingly protective of their own colours. Did this Formula One sponsors' success become its own undoing?

Why does Alpine’s changing hierarchy feel so tense?

Since the F1 Miami Grand Prix this year (and after the loss of six points from Monaco), Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto have scored the same number of points for the Formula One team. So what happens when Gasly’s teammate stops being an obvious number two and Alpine has to manage priority in real time? Answer...umm...well...I'm getting 2023/2024 flashbacks, folks.

When strategy and frustration collide, things can get awkward fast...and Esteban Ocon isn't there to point the finger at. The next internal Alpine test could tell us plenty! Maybe we were wrong about Esteban.

Liam Lawson’s Red Bull F1 comeback has created an awkward question about his 2027 future...what does being useful actually get him?

Liam Lawson has scored 14 points in three races for Red Bull...lovely! Except that still doesn’t tell us where his Formula 1 career is going. Isack Hadjar deserves a fair return once he’s fit and Max Verstappen’s new contract hardly creates an opening upstairs. So what exactly is Liam auditioning FOR? Throw Yuki Tsunoda, Arvid Lindblad and Nikola Tsolov into the mix and Red Bull’s 2027 driver line-up becomes rather awkward. Useful upstairs, useful downstairs...but useful WHERE?

Ten F1 Sprint weekends in 2027...and Monaco’s one of them. After the two-stop experiment of 2025, F1’s giving us another qualifying session and another race around those same tight streets. Could this actually improve the weekend? Let's take a look at the 2027 F1 calendar...and see if this could really work.
