I have more sympathy for Sainz than I do for many other drivers on the grid. It’s pretty crappy to be booted out of the top team where you’re performance is on par with the best drivers on the grid because Hamilton has swooped in. I get why Ferrari would do that but to be left with Sauber as your next best option is really quite bad. You can speculate about the potential of the Audi take over but at best it’s a serious demotion for the short to mid term. I feel like he’s earned more than that but any better option seem like 1 year deals if they exist at all.

Just realised that you've reached 60k, Law! Congrats and love your videos!

I predicted Alex staying at Williams. I just don't think he really wanted to go back to Red Bull, they pulled him up to the senior team way too fast and barely gave him any mental guidance on how to deal with all that pressure. He ended up miserable at Red Bull. He seems much happier at Williams, where the team appreciate him much more. Mercedes doesn't seem that good of an option either given that they really want Antonelli in that seat by 2026 and with everyone locking down contracts long-term if you are out of a seat at the start of 2026 you aren't going to get another seat in F1. Ferrari, Aston Martin, and McLaren don't have seats available and the choice to stay at Williams doesn't seem that bad.

Yep half the grid still hasn’t signed, but the silly season is definitely over.

I like to point out to people in China Ricciardo didn't do any better than he usually did he still didn't make Q3 nor was he looking likely to get points. Tsunoda just had an awful weekend where he went from making Q3 to suddenly being 19th. Miami sprint qualifying and the sprint itself has been the one highlight of Ricciardo's season. Too soon to say he's turned a corner, and so far Imola is not looking good for him.

hamilton to ferrari was already crazy enough...even hulkenberg to sauber

IMO, if Toto really wants Kimi to join Mercedes, let him join next year. Mercedes is currently in a "2019/2020 Mclaren" Phase. Their Car is still in the midfield, bring Antonelli now and let him get used to the 2025 car and have his input on the 2026 car. Williams need a long term driver just like Alex. No driver would want to join a team just as a stop gap. Personally I would love Carlos to join Mercedes but if it's only a one year contract, I'd understand why he won't consider them.

Slight problem with that... Mercedes may no longer have the controlling majority (Toto and his buddy Jimmy are calling the shots) but if they don't get a star driver "selling their cars", the boardroom in Stuttgart might well be turning their backs on Brackley and "Ineos F1" (neither Russell nor Antonelli have the required "marketability"). They still fully own the engine side of things and they can take this operation to another outfit in a heartbeat... McLaren worked well for them in the past and Zak and his Bahraini overlords would love nothing better. ;)

These are my predictions: Red Bull: Verstappen, Perez Ferrari: Leclerc, Hamilton McLaren: Norris, Piastri Mercedes-AMG: Russell, Ocon Aston Martin: Alonso, Stroll Racing Bulls: Tsunoda, Riccardo Haas: Bottas, Bearman Alpine: Gasly, Lawson Williams: Albon, Antonelli (I don't approve of Williams taking Antonelli, but it'll almost certainly happen) Sauber: Hulkenberg, Zhou (Andretti): Herta, Sargeant (Palou possible instead of Herta)

I've feel like albon might be set for williams to Stay cuz they need an experience driver for kimi Antonelli IF they really want to Boot Logan out next year

Changing team in a year with major rule changes isn't the best idea ,so as there seems no future for Tsunoda at Red Bull he should try to get a new team now as most deals are multi year and the 26 drivers market looks to be a very quiet one.

I do think Sargeant is now better than Albon and Zhou is matching Bottas now. In my opinion, beat Albon on default in Melbourne and was barely off his time in the damaged Williams in Japan before the damaged Williams proved too hard to drive and he went off (I put that down to the car) before crushing Albon in the sprint and just losing out to him in main qualifying in Miami. For me, they're tied right now, but Sargeant's better performances this year have been more recent than Albon's. With Zhou, he outperformed Bottas in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and China, half the races, like Sargeant outperformed Albon in Australia, Japan and Miami.

If Haas was fine with Mazepin, then Zhou is not only a competent driver but can bring a cash influx closer to Mazepin than any other driver.

You should have Liam head pop on the screen whenever Daniel is shown similar to Dan ‘toasty’ Gordan from mortal kombat 2.

At this point, I think Williams are going to be backmarkers for a long time

KMag is entertaining, i prefer watching him drive to over half of the rest of the grid. Only a handful of drivers make the highlights consistently (Alonso). Many are filler(Perez, Russel, Bottas, Zhou...), Kmag is killer in an era where there's minimal competition in the front.

Good video keep it up 🎉

Would it be possible for Haas to get both Bottas and Zhou? It's basically an already fully working drivers pair with solid capabilities.

If Sainz to Mercedes fails and Antonelli is not promoted, maybe Ocon to Merc (due to his previous ties to Toto) ? +Unpopular opinion: I see Gasly's career in danger as he's not at Ocon's level right now, so maybe the silly season is not over.

About Carlos: According to (reliable) German journalists rumors in the paddock are intensifying that Carlos is VERY close to signing with Audi. Their sources say it's not signed yet, but almost a done deal. Although Carlos indicated something else in the press conference (maybe just expressing frustration about Mercedes' waiting game) it seems like the door to Red Bull has closed, which would also explain why Albon has resigned with Williams.

The Ladder Guy ! 😂

Let's be honest half the grid being in absolute shambles in terms of performance is not helping things. Why would anyone move when it's most likely a downgrade or awful sidegrade of performance they can expect

Imo motorsport as a whole is growing across the board. With social media, stream coverage etc. I wouldn't be surprised if some drivers jump ship. Rally, Indy, wec etc. formula one is said to be the pinnacle but there is a lot going on in the other genres now.

Sainz is the best available driver. Toto is a fool for not signing Sainz. The bigger fool is Horner for not signing Sainz when Max has already been snooping around for 2026.

I'm happy that Alex has re-signed with Williams, hopefully it pays off for him in the long run. I like Sainz, but when you have had a taste of winning I could see why you'd want to wait to see if you can grab a top seat in a potentially race winning car. Audi could be another Toyota, and maybe he thinks that is possible too. Hopefully he secures a seat, because I think it would be a shame if he drops out of F1.

If VCARB has to be sold off, Riccardo adds a lot of $$$. I still think Yuki will end up in AM.

I think the problem is that Sainz and Albon were competing for the same slots, but Carlos had better chances (regardless of what slim they were), so better to wrap up the Williams contract instead of waiting that a deal with Sainz would not happen.

I will say 2 comments in which I hardly ever do...but here goes. 1. Carlos agent should of proposed an Audi 2025 contract for 50 million u.s.d and 75 million on an additional 4 year deal with podium incentives to top out at 100 million usd per year on a 5 yr. Deal.With the Ambassador roles drawing sponsors money for endorsement s that would equal the 150 million euro deal Max has been offered with Red Bull. A no cut no loop hole would ensure proper cenegery to solidify Audi as a top team in F1 werks teams. Holding out for A Red Bull deal will never come . Being a German American with close ties to Europe I was snobby about coming to America for F1 events. Then Austin built a tier 3 track for F1 exclusively so I was wood by my favorite sport coming to the 🇺🇸. NOW that F1 is exploited the American market with tracks like Miami and Vegas which are just for show races. We as Americans want our own team. Let Andretti in and share the wealth you make off of us in the American market.

Gasley Ablon at Williams? wouldnt be a bad lineup if they can get along.

LawVS the internet has lost it's mind they are saying that Adrian Newey going to Ferrari. Wow.

Frederik Vesti must be fuming right because he already has a superlicense since he finished P2 in F2 last season and he isn’t even considered by Toto

It's best to just stay somewhere stable during this time at F1.

I think Carlos has signed at Audi but they aren’t announcing it cos the two drivers currently there think they are racing for a seat

Problem with Yuki the team and he are saying it is because of the feed back from DR, also Yuki has said DR is coaching him

But is anyone talking to Andretti?

So, Botas and Ham now both in Ferrari? :D
