LawVS - The Ladder Man

Valtteri Bottas’s Cadillac F1 seat is under threat.

My friends, Colton Herta’s 19th in Formula 2 and he’s still in contention to replace Grand Prix winner Valtteri Bottas...are they serious? With Checo's future secured through 2029 announced at the Mexico City Grand Prix, Cadillac’s second seat has a potential new purpose. One which may not need experience...but this first year for the new American F1 team hasn't been as simple as they would like. Are they in a position to make driver changes?

There's also other candidates who might be ready in time for 2028. Could committing to Herta in 2027 be too hasty?

Put the copium down for a sec...because Bridgestone and Michelin are curious about an F1 return.

Get the 2006 season review out, because Formula 1’s nostalgia cupboard is getting a proper rummage. Bridgestone is reportedly chasing an F1 return with Michelin also exploring its options; all alongside the return of F1 V8s. Lovely stuff! Except the reported tyre opportunity from 2029 is for one exclusive supplier, while those V8s keep a turbo and hybrid system. So how much old-school F1 are you actually getting? The FIA is, as usual these days, NOT QUITE giving us the full picture. Why?

These are 2026's F1 United States GP winners and losers. Antonelli dominated Austin while Russell collapsed again...and the two Red Bulls tripped over themselves.

George Russell had six good laps in Austin while Kimi Antonelli put together another win. As that went down, Max Verstappen salvaged a podium while Ferrari collected 30 points and McLaren left with more questions about its pace. We've also got Bearman's costly Gasly collision as well as Lawson's alarm that wouldn't stop complaining.

Who else won, lost or was just plain meh around Austin?

The Red Bull feud overshadowing 14 F1 world championships.

What, exactly, is either of them trying to win here? Christian Horner’s memoir Drive has brought his bitter Red Bull fallout with Helmut Marko back into the spotlight. Yet Marko has credited Horner’s Red Bull Powertrains work, while Christian says Oliver Mintzlaff called to thank him. These two know what working together can achieve. So, ladderfolk, why keep giving us reasons to remember the squabble first?

It's sad...

Liam Lawson's Racing Bulls future is like a can kicked down the road.

Racing Bulls could keep Liam Lawson for 2027 and still leave him asking why he's even there. His points make a strong case for renewal, but with Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar confirmed upstairs, where does that actually lead? Nikola Tsolov and Arvid Lindblad complicate the decision, while Sergio Perez's Cadillac comments give the 2028 F1 driver market another potential twist. Could Lawson become the experienced driver they need after Bottas and Checo...or would he be swapping one waiting room for another? Pierre Gasly echoing in his mind, surely.
