LawVS - The Ladder Man

F1's handling of the shakedown test just got a lot messier thanks to Isack Hadjar's "small off".

The events of the second day of pre-season running of Formula 1 cars has only gone and brought into sharp relief the awkward nature of this first chapter of the 2026 season. The teams want privacy, Formula One wants content and us fans? We just want stuff to chew over after weeks of nothing but speculation.

Instead, we got a scenario where nobody is happy. Teams are being analysed by the media anyway (despite their security measures), F1 is facing tons of backlash and fans are left frustrated...with Red Bull Racing's Hadjar the centre of this firestorm...and that's BEFORE the second seat curse chestnut.

Williams derail themselves before 2026 even starts...or have they?

The only team that isn't in Barcelona for the F1 shakedown event of 2026...is the team that most Formula 1 fans hoped for success. With Williams choosing to skip this first test event of the year and instead go digital before arriving in Bahrain, is this game over for this time before the Formula 1 2026 season is even at pace? Not necessarily.

Could James Vowles be leading Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz into a plan similar to Mercedes? Where data and computers are important in improving the understanding of energy? Could correlation be this team's best means to jump into the front running back alongside Red Bull and McLaren? This isn't the end of the world...yet.

My open letter to Netflix before Season 8 of Drive to Survive drops.

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

Drive to Survive has redefined Formula 1 fandom, but Season 8 arrives with real expectations. I've got 10 essential moments and storylines that Netflix needs to cover from the 2025 season. The stories that matter, the drama that fans actually care about and the missed opportunities that deserve redemption...because they missed quite a few last year in DTS.

Toto Wolff's first words about 2026, having launched their car, are unsettling.

Are we about to witness a brand new era of dominance from Mercedes...or at the very least, a season where they are the favourite F1 team to help propel George Russell towards a run for the Formula 1 championship with Kimi Antonelli by his side? Or is it statement towards other drivers that they are looking at for the future...be they important allies or a cog in the Mercedes machine? Enter Max Verstappen flirtations part 2?
