LawVS - The Ladder Man

Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar have given Red Bull pause for thought for 2027.

Isack Hadjar let Max Verstappen through in Brazil. Then he asked if he'd get the place back. And his boss, Laurent Mekies, reckons Red Bull WOULD have given it back. OK! Let’s look at what happens when Max has a teammate close enough to make things awkward, certainly more so than in recent years. Does the F1 team even owe Hadjar anything, especially going into his second season with the team? It's fine this year, but next year? Oh boy!

Liam Lawson is staying at Racing Bulls after all. At least for 2027...but could Williams be his next F1 move?

Liam Lawson has secured his VCARB seat. FINALLY! But remember those rumours about him replacing Alex Albon at Williams? Yeah, there’s no evidence of a deal or a fresh approach, but the Kiwi has previous with the team. James Vowles considered Lawson back in 2024 and Liam has given him plenty more to think about since. Could the 2028 driver market open a door at Williams? And does it HAVE to be Albon he replaces? It could easily be Carlos Sainz.

Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin keeps breaking down, but how much of this disastrous F1 season is his fault? Really? Honda’s had problems...but so have Aston themselves. However, Fernando Alonso’s qualifying advantage has its place too. And the record itself? Well, that depends on how you count it. Foam time?

Mercedes are constructors’ champions, despite plenty of spins both on and off the track! All while Lando Norris won at Interlagos and Max Verstappen charged from 21st to the podium! But was Oscar Piastri’s weekend really that bad; and did Liam Lawson do enough to secure his F1 future?

Who else won, lost or was just plain meh around the 2026 F1 Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo?
