LawVS - The Ladder Man

Carlos Sainz HAD power in the driver market. He does not anymore.

Two years ago, Carlos Sainz had Williams, Audi and Alpine waiting for his decision. Now the whole thing has flipped. Every realistic route away seems to depend on somebody else moving first. Audi's happy with its drivers, Aston Martin depends on Fernando Alonso, and as for Alpine? It's got plenty of other things to sort out, including its car...and then there's Checo to consider too.

Mercedes lead but battery failures and looming grid penalties are coming...

Mercedes have won eight of eleven races and lead both championships. Lovely...except George Russell’s season has become a travelling collection of failures and exhaustion. The team HAS admitted several faults but we're left wondering this: has Mercedes built a fragile advantage or simply created the fastest car in Formula 1 with a few expensive problems still waiting to be solved...and they're running out of time. Russell and Antonelli look very close to a grid drop and Ferrari and McLaren are salivating!

Max Verstappen warned the F1 world about its 2026 energy problem in 2023. In response, Formula 1 said his simulator data was outdated...but now the FIA says it understood the risk for years but couldn’t secure enough manufacturer support to make the changes it wanted. Before the reputational damage was done.

Oscar Piastri’s smooth driving style has once again become his biggest McLaren problem.

Piastri started Formula 1’s new era ahead of Lando Norris...but it's been all change since Monaco. 5 straight qualifying defeats later, Andrea Stella says Oscar may be driving the MCL40 “too cleanly.”

It's not over yet though as Piastri still leads Norris in their race head-to-head. So what's up? Is McLaren’s improving car suiting Norris more naturally? Or is Piastri’s greatest strength costing him on Saturdays? Let's discuss four years on since his infamous tweet regarding his F1 destiny.

Stefano Domenicali’s latest defence of F1’s 2026 regulations has properly nettled me! Drivers have raised their own concerns and F1’s fan polling doesn’t actually prove what Domenicali seems to think it does. Because if the racing is complicated, what exactly is wrong with explaining it?
