Mercedes fans are starting to sweat with no signatures for Russell and Antonelli in sight.

Mercedes is past its usual August deadline...and yet George Russell and rookie Kimi Antonelli remain unsigned for 2026, sparking talk of friction inside Brackley. Team principal Toto Wolff insists on short 1-plus-1 deals but Russell surely wants better than that! With a major 2026 rules reset looming and lingering chatter about Max Verstappen, every delay fuels sponsor nerves and gives Aston Martin-Honda a chance to George Russell. What's going on here?

Oh no. Not again. ANOTHER McLaren maladie at Monza?

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

Max Verstappen was unstoppable...and whilst McLaren took a double podium, the day will be remembered for controversy instead of conslidation with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris ONCE AGAIN tangled up in team orders. Ferrari found quiet progress at their home race, Charles Leclerc’s electric start helping them tighten their grip on P2 in the championship. Meanwhile, standouts like Alex Albon and Gabriel Bortoleto pulled off impressive drives to shake up the midfield with Isack Hadjar turning a pit-lane start into the last point at the F1 Italian Grand Prix.

Who else won, lost or just were plain meh?

Reverse grids, sprint races and trimmed free‑practice sessions are suddenly center stage...and fans are divided.

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

F1 is facing a dramatic and gimmicky future and I’m here to break down Stefano Domenicali’s push to reshape race weekends by expanding sprint formats, cutting back or cutting out free‑practice sessions, even testing reverse grids like in F2/F3...and hinting at shorter Grand Prix distances too. These moves are driven by a desire to hook new audiences and deliver more on‑track action, but traditional fans and teams are worried about losing the core of what makes Formula 1 so compelling.

I stand with fans who value the strategy, engineering and storytelling!

Mick Schumacher just turned down a fast-track return to Formula 1.

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

Mick Schumacher stunned the paddock (and me) by rejecting Cadillac’s reserve seat even though the offer promised strong pay podium-capable World Endurance machinery and a future path back to F1. Why would he choose the freedom of Alpine? And why McLaren’s 2027 hypercar project could be his smartest long game should Alpine not be his final port of call...Every detail here reshapes Mick’s quest to reclaim an F1 cockpit and build a brand beyond his famous surname.

What were perhaps the hidden clauses that clipped Cadillac’s appeal the political tug-of-war between Alpine’s current gains?

Expect Oscar Piastri to go one better than last year's Italian GP.

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

Ferrari arrives at Monza under the loudest kind of home‑circuit pressure, battling low morale and a five‑place grid penalty for Lewis Hamilton. Meanwhile Red Bull is presenting a picture of stability with Max Verstappen committing his future from the new boss' first day in the office whilst McLaren charge full tilt with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in peak form...but the Aussie roaring louder.

It’s all about who’s ready to own this “Temple of Speed.” Expect Williams to blast past their 2017 targets with Racing Bulls and Aston Martin lurking for surprise points.

What a race at Zandvoort. One that had safety cars, heartbreak and quite a lot to process after a month away...

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

The Dutch Grand Prix gave us Isack Hadjar’s standout podium as Oscar Piastri’s flawless grand slam became a reality and Max Verstappen rebounded after Hungary. Alex Albon, Haas and Aston Martin seized their chances while Yuki Tsunoda fought through adversity and Franco Colapinto nearly scored his first F1 points for Alpine. As for Lando Norris’s devastating mechanical failure? I cover that too plus Ferrari’s Turn 3 chaos.

Whether you’re following the Red Bull junior pipeline, rooting for the McLaren resurgence or tracking the fierce fight for points in the midfield, I will tell you who won, lost, were meh and who was solid.

The 2025 Dutch GP qualifying was one for the history books with Oscar Piastri edging Lando Norris for pole.

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

The McLarens lock out the front row with Oscar Piastri snatching pole from Lando Norris by just one hundredth of a second. Max Verstappen’s strong comeback puts him in P3, while strategy and tire choices look set to play a huge role in Sunday’s race. Isaac Hadjar and Liam Lawson impress with standout performances for Racing Bulls right when the midfield pack couldn't get any tighter whilst Carlos Sainz finds renewed motivation to secure a top ten start at Alex Albon's expense. Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso’s hopes for a top five are dashed whilst Lance Stroll’s weekend unravelled disastrously with TWO CRASHES.

Who else won, lost or just were plain meh?
