Ah, will you be coming to treads anytime soon?
As a former racing cyclist I understand the new kit mentality completely, new kit brings new motivation, new attitude can lead to new results. Hoping the Williams squad gets that jump. Albon is heir apparent to Danny Ricc for fan support, how can you not like Alex? I would love to see Albon podium (a guy can hope right?) and Sergeant get some points this year!
Oh yeah, McLaren's rebrand has been a major boost for sentiment toward McLaren. As for Williams, it's been a natural increase in interest and passion over 2023.
I was worried at first when James Vows went to Williams giving Toto more control over Williams, but James has really told Toto to stuff it and now I am excited.
Oh yes. James has integrity thank goodness.
Thank you!! You've finally shown the other side of the ladder!
Imagine a shock Podium for Albon!
I'm highly doubtful it will happen but it's funny to imagine Williams on the podium and being yet another Mercedes customer team to beat the supplier
Incidentally, seems like your VCARB tidbit got traction. The pro team seem to be using it.
Albon will get a podium when Norris gets a win lol
YES, more reasons for the hype train.
Though truthfully some people have said in comments that williams seems to be the only backmarker team that feels right to have fans
They seem to have everything going for them and have the right attitude and desire to develop.
@@LawVSalso for some reason there has been a lot of news regarding f1 in a time where that isn't very often
@@zombiekilla25979 people are just that bored, off-season + a dominant previous season means that people will latch on to anything that could generate excitement.
Visa CashApp Racing Bulls have more chance than William
f1 fans are soooo focused on the "soul" of f1 man it's crazy, i just don't see how a team needs the right "soul" or "identity" to have fans or be competitive
I love seeing how different of a Team Principal James Vowles is compared to others, especially since I’m a new F1 fan and most TP’s are straight and to the point and sometimes very harsh.
Vowles is detailed with his words and explained race weekends very nicely throughout 2023. I also love how he didn’t pay much attention to outside noise with Logan’s up and VERY DOWN rookie season and deciding to stick with him.
I’m really hoping for a great season for Williams solely because of Vowles 🙌🏼.
Of course. James was always meticulous and the Mercedes figures were quite transparent with race briefs. James has brought that over to Williams.
(Off topic) Blue Balls? Visa bulls?? Visa R.B??? What do we call it???
VCARB is what I'll refer to it as
We came up with VCARB here.
@LawVS sounds like something you're doctor would give you for weight loss.
Just jokes. I'm sure it will grow on us... eventually.
Minardi
finally someone doing some real case-study and putting some hard true facts on the table; instead of sitting on a gaming chair and just reading whatever's happening in the F1 world, or reacting to some boring memes on twitter. hats off man, keep doing and improving, lots of love
It would be such a feel good moment to see Williams up front again. Hope they never change their name either.
I was actually thinking about that.. "Why do I empathize more with Williams, despite the fact I've seen them in both sides of the point-table?" ... "Well.. It's a name I actually grew up with!"
I really hope Williams takes a step forward. I’ve been impressed with Vowels leadership
I reckon they will. They're looking long term for the first time in years.
I love the video. ❤
But still I gotta mention the size difference between the cars on the thumbnail 😂
Man I never comment, so now it's time for me to really thank you for your videos. Unlike most other channels you are truly passionate about Formula 1, which mixed with your great personality and interesting topics, makes these daily videos so awesome. Thank you so much for all the effort and please keep up the great content, as long as YOU enjoy making it. Much love ❤
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying the content. It's fun having a natter with you all.
Oooo , new camera spot
And alao , wow that description is long
Great video again but really got spooked of that sudden angle change
I'm not a long time fan, only really watching heavily in 2021 and following haas as they seemed like under dogs (haven't watched dts) but last year I found myself more interested in Williams as they were while still getting over there troubles but capitalizing on their opportunities that they can do. Imagine if this year, Alex gets a podium.
Their story is a lot more compelling and they're showing a desire to change and adapt whereas Haas are being hindered by their boss
Williams is the first F1 team I saw in real life. 1997 car presentation at Zandvoort in the amazing Rothmans livery.
Would be nice to see them get back to the front.
And McLaren too.
I reckon they will have a tough time to get back to the top top but the midfield solid pack with chance for the odd podium could be doable.
Kudos to Vowels for the monumental task he walked into. The fact that he is transforming the culture on the team and running a tight ship is the step in the right direction. Albon and Williams are a bit of a pheonix rising from the ashes. Plus its always fun rooting for the underdogs. Now if they evolve the car on low speed corners.
We've heard multiple promises to make Williams better, but Vowles is incredibly transparent and honest with what needs to be done and that it won't be overnight.
“Hey siri, how do I invest in Williams F1 ASAP?”
This is a great Channel and very entertaining. You seem to be able to put out more new material in the off-season than in the season .....and all of it is original, not regurgitating someone else's interview on another channel. I hope you get the 100k subscribers this year.
Thank you! I'm using this period to hone my craft ready for the season and it's encouraging that I've had stuff to discuss and learn over the off season.
Williams be like: hold on in the corners and send it in the straights
That's the only consistent thing since the turbo hybrid era started
Great video! You managed to hit every reason I’m so positive about Williams. As I’ve said before, I become a bigger James Vowles fan every time I hear him speak. I just hope they manage to have decent luck and continue on their current trend.
I'm so glad that Williams is getting their act together finally, especially now in this increasingly soulless F1 landscape (looking at you Alpha Tauri. Sorry, I mean CARBi-V).
angle change was slick! another lawvs banger
Dude, your work rate in pumping these videos out is super impressive
New cam angle on the videos? The quality of this channel is going trough the rooftop!
It'll be used for proper asides.
Love the new angle, could be a theory corner or for outlandish predictions!
I might whack it in for special occassions.
On the Manor car of 2017, if it was a solid package I could see Nasr doing bits in it. I've always looked at that logo as "Claire's" era as I think it changed right as Frank left the fold. I honour Doriltion by keeping that logo out of respect, but I feel like this era can succeed Claries early era as you said they need to take time.
Oh yes. You feel they value the heritage.
Realistically speaking I think the Optimism for Williams moving forward is for 2026 and on. These next two years I could see them getting past Alpine and maybe Aston but those are really high bars already. Keeping Albon is a must now, I don't think they could afford to lose him.
I reckon you have a point. The team are aware this will take some time but they could easily make some changes to ensure the car is a little easier to drive and less prone to big accidents on the ragged edge.
Hol up there is a second angle from which you can see the ladder?
The Filmmaking possibilities are endless!
Totally agree, good video made by an enthusiast for enthusiasts
I like the new angle
I agree every piece seems to be slowly falling into place for Williams. Although, I’m still concerned with keeping Logan. Nevertheless, it was his rookie season. Let’s see how he does in this upcoming one.
I think it will be clear if Logan doesn't perform that his time will be up and he will respect that. The fact that James is honouring the Academy process is laudible.
You should do a poll on the multitude of names that ppl are going to call Visa CA RB and ask them which one theyre going with
We settled on VCARB in this house.
That camera angle change caught me off guard 😅
Williams has an incredibly efficient car at high speeds and a fantastic driver who makes few mistakes. They could contend for points at every venue if they can improve their performance around low-speed corners.
Now they need to fix the low-speed performance and overall downforce package.
Channel is booming, very happy for you Lawrence 😊❤🎉
Thank you!
I wanna see albono get a win!
I think he's worth keeping. Williams need to do that.
Came so close in Austria 2021. Brand spanking new Soft tires and Mercs ahead on old tires. Oh, what could have been. Albon may have had some confidence going into the covid delayed season and his fortunes may have changed.
Though, I think I am far more happier with where he is right now. He was never going to compete with Max at Red Bull. At Williams, he can carve out a decent career.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
williams are better under vowles. its a no brainer to let alex or logan go bc it seems vowles wants them both to stay
Oh yeah the team finally has direction
@LawVS they are gonna cook
Liking the new fancy ladder angle!
Ooooooh an over the shoulder shot, nice. 👌
We're still in an era in which certain teams are adjusting / getting used to the cost cap. I think by 2026 most of those teams will have got used to it, and it will ultimately lead to better racing. However, for now we've got to wait for the previous huge investment in the top teams to even out with the new investments for everyone at the back except Haas.
From what I've seen with the cost cap, it's allowed the smaller teams to seriously restructure and do it quickly. The bigger teams who haven't gotten the measure of it will take a while to slim down and find efficiencies.
@@LawVS Quite.
Loved the second camera hahaha
Mario Andretti won the F1 and 4 Indy car championships. The Daytona 500 and Indy 500
Since when did Mario come into the equation?
That aside…..the replacement name for Alphatauri….have you seen the logo. Looks mostly like a Visa ad but then you have that ugly splat of green around the dollar sign for the cash app. Thoughts?
Folks, I'm well ahead of the curve. I made a video on this last week.
Was a great video, been here since 15K subs. But have you seen the official logo, they only just put it out on their socials and it’s…..something.
I’m hoping Williams supposed rebrand is going to be sweet
0:06 omg law booty cam has begun
I hope if they increase the cost cap winnings higher if a new team joins ….Andrety
Put i like the new cost cap idear, just hope they sort the issue out that Williams have, with the Computer system that they don’t have and most of all the teams have. - Computer system that costs around 4 million that James V was trying to make a issue about.
I reckon the cost cap amount is fine but the prize money should be bigger wholesale
One of things I really enjoyed when I got into F1 was learning about the history of the sports and the various eras of dominance and rivalries. Despite being a Red Bull fan, I would love to see a modern F1 season with a championship battle between Williams, McLaren and Ferrari. See the old kings of the sport all back on top and duking it out. And c'mon, who wouldn't want to see Lando, Charles and Alex fighting for a championship (with Oscar and Carlos possibly in the mix too... Sorry Logan 😅).
I bet having the three legacy teams back up there would make Red Bull's lot look all the more legitimate
It would be nice to have Wiliams back to being at least a strong mid-field team. Last win was 2012? Maldonado? If I remember right.
It's plausible. Closer to Alpine, that's for sure.
Hopefully the car will be good enough for regular point scores with their own strenght
And not have to spend most of it defending.
Been a Williams fan ever since the early 2000s, stopped watching F1 for a good 10+ years but Albon and James Vowles has brought me back, they are the teams best shot at getting back up to fighting for the championship it will take time but they are clearly moving forward and a steady rate like McLaren
That's good. This is what I meant by the vibe at Williams being different. Those fans that felt lost and disillusioned with the 2018-21 inconsistency and lack of direction now see a path for the future. Dorilton have been exactly what the team needed to provide the stability and now opportunity for the new TP.
There's definitely a feeling of upward momentum for Williams but I wouldn't look at them jumping into regular podium contention like McLaren have just yet, they're starting from a much lower position, don't quite have the finances (I don't think they're operating at the cost cap limit) and we've yet to see if they quite as an effective technical team.
Yeah I would agree. I don't see them getting podiums in 2024. What I DO see though is Alex getting points finishes more often without having to defend like he was channeling the spirit of GigaKubica.
@@LawVS Thats certainly what I hope for as well.
Damon getting sacked after 1995 before 96 even happened, and Mansell not getting picked in 1995 were awful decesions. not too mention the mansell/prost/senna contact issues from a few years before. :(
Correct. Frank and Patrick effectively dumped Nigel and Damon before they realised how competitive they would be that year, chasing the hotness that was Prost and Villeneuve respectively.
i love Willimas, but the above, and the lack of interest in keeping Newey by making him a partner, were choices that snowballed and led to 2019 (even the BMW era was poorly handled, they were so much better with Sauber(!) )@@LawVS
I’ve made this comment before, Vowles was head of the Young Driver program at Mercedes, he knows what he’s looking at and has obviously seen something in Logan
Yep. And he also would never banish a young driver without giving them the time to develop.
I'd love to know what Clare Williams thinks of James Vowles' leadership and the state of the team. I hope she's happy.
(Edit: that's a genuine hope, I'm not being snarky!)
I don't think we will ever know because I believe she finds it hard to even watch a single race. After being wrenched out of the team like that, it's probably hard to watch it from the outside.
after a month of watching you on a ladder, i gotta ask, did you also record your DBZA lines from up there? you know what? i'm gonna run with that as headcannon from now on
I didn't, no. I just lucked into these acoustics.
The only thing I can think of that would convince Alex to leave is pay. But we'll see. I hope you're right
Williams had better be promising him a bigger pay deal!
Great analysis
We know a YT'r is growing when they subtly use a second camera. Way to go!
EDIT: How much does your legs hurt after filming?
My calves are actually OK and have been getting a good workout. It's my arches which suffer. Probably should wear shoes to help.
It's kind of strange, back in the late 80's and early 90's I never really cared for either McLaren or Williams. I generally don't root for a team that is dominating the sport. Now McLaren and Williams are my two favorite teams. I see McLaren in the fight for an occasional win and Williams lifting themselves from the back of the grid to be a solid mid-field contender. McLaren somewhat reminds of of where Benetton was in that late 80's early 90's time frame - Benetton was my favorite team at that time. I like to root for the underdog - as long as they show they have some potential.
I see what you mean. Sometimes people like to back the underdogs on their path to the top and then repeat the cycle with another team.
In all honesty, I think if William give Alex a competent and capable teammate that team can fully come back to greatness it’s going to take time yes but if Logan either steps up or gets replaced, and Alex has a good teammate that solid by his side, I could see that team completely making a comeback Purely because the progress it’s already been made in such a short time has been amazing and if there were two drivers scoring Alex‘s level of points think about where that team could’ve finished last season I think it’s just a waiting game now to see what happens in the long-term with Williams, but I personally wouldn’t count them out. I think that they’re on the rise and really hope that they give Alex a good teammate so that the team can return to the greatness it once held.
I appreciate that they are giving Logan a proper chance instead of casting him aside. James feels personally responsible for rushing him in a year too early.
No joking, but I was also thinking that. I expect them to be top 3 in at least 1 q3 and to outscore alpine over the course of the season!
I could see them pulling a few top 5 finishes this year.
@@LawVS Crazy prediction, I predict it's gonna be a more exciting season than 2022!
I think people, mainly ones who had to listen to Murray Walker at the time are a bit too down on Williams and their driver decisions. For the first part of 1991 Patrese had Mansells number and only fell away after mind games and the introduction of the passive car. When Frank saw that the man who'd basically broken Mansell at Ferrari and made him almost retire because of the absolute thrashing he'd received it made a lot of sense to sign the guy who was available and who had smacked their current guy silly in the same team. The hill situation is even more straightforward as Damon (who I'll readily admit to disliking to the point of muting the TV whenever he's on) had crumbled in 1995 and even with Michael's questionable penalties and disqualifications in 1994 had barely dragged the car with the far superior package for 2 thirds of the year into a title fight where the FIA did most of the fighting for him. And unlike Ferrari last year it can't all be blamed on the team only focusing on getting their many pole positions since the car was often faster than the Benetton if we compare Coulthard and Herbert since they were closer matched than their respective team leaders since one of them wasn't eating barriers enough to get a tow truck loyalty card. Williams had every right to replace him and they did so in mid 1995 when they refused to renew his contract.They weren't approaching the start of a title run, they were in the middle of a disaster spearheaded by Hill
I understand what you mean and it was Frank's team so it's his call in the end...but the rush to make these decisions shows a somewhat questionable attitude to the drivers. With that in mind, you kinda feel that Ralf Schumacher was made for Williams. He knew his place and respected the way the team did things as being no nonsense and about results.
Would you do a review on the Project 676?
I will probably take a look at it when the car is released.
Frank Williams and Patrick Head's stubbornness all lead to Williams' downfall in the late 90s and 2000s when they lost Adrian Newey (their biggest loss) to McLaren, Damon Hill and Mansell in the 90s, their toxic partnership with BMW, especially with Frank not wanting BMW to buy an ownership stake in to the team and instead partnering with Sauber. Even when Lance Stroll joined in 2017, Lawrence Stroll wanted to buy a share into Williams but Frank refused.
Preceisely. It didn't matter so much back in the 80s and early 90s because what they did worked...but then F1 evolved with more carmakers coming in and having just two men lead the entire widget simply didn't work anymore and led to TONS of people quitting frustrated at their brick-wall mentality.
@LawVS Now it's great watching Williams getting their act together for once along with McLaren. McLaren are the reason why I started following F1 since 2012 and during those dreadful years from 2013-2018, it was embarrassing to watch but now Zak Brown as their CEO, Andrea Stella as their TP along with their updated facilities, it's been a long journey towards success, I also hope for the best in Williams.
Woah, the new behind-the-ladder camera angle was cool!
And what do you think of VCARB, now that it's confirmed?
I like how VCARB is something we coined.
@@LawVSIt sounds like some branch of Carbohydrates.
Like VITAMIN CARBOHYDRATES 🎉
I feel like you’re downplaying George a bit there, I mean the “race” we shall not speak of in 2021 where he got that P2 (near Pole) in a Williams during Qualifying😱
PS it’s Belgium for those struggling to guess which “race”😵💫
Yeah I get what you mean but the Williams car did undermine his potential until 2021 when he became Mr Saturday
I see an A in the new William's W logo... a prophecy has been foretold
It's kinda like their 1981-3 Williams logo
Do a video about what would happen next year if all the teams had a winning car .
Like if they were all spec cars?
@@LawVS Yeah exactly like that
Still not clear so there's going to be 2 diffrent Mercedes engines from 26 onwards? Mercedes AMG and Benz?
Nope. all 3 teams have the engines.
Aaah yeah got confused because u talked about engines cool cool
Mansell is the only F1 champion to be a Indy champion at the same time as he wrapped up the Indy championship before the end of the 94 championship……
Yep. He had plenty left in the tank. Heck, even when he filled in for Williams in 94 he got a win!
babe wake up, new ladderman angle dropped 🥵
I wish Williams do well, but i just dont see them beating Aston, Ferrari, Merc or Mclaren, i think they will beat Alpine and vcarb for p6 but they wont be challenging for p5
That's the thing. Everybody wants the best for them and that's half the battle won.
Wooo, what an angle :○
everyone hit the like button lets grow the channel. will be the framers for when he makes it in the youtube game
Rothmans /Willams paint was better
It was a good livery
The cost cap is the best thing to happen to Formula 1 in a long time. Hands down.
I feel like everyone wants Williams to succeed. They're like everyone's second favourite team, myself included. I can't wait until they fight back to the top.
And then everyone will probably start hating them. 😃
I doubt that folks would hate Williams with James and Alex around. They seem to have a vibe which is straightforward and down to earth...at least right now.
@@LawVS I know, I'm just joking, making light of how teams tend to become disliked when they stsrt winning
Williams is damn near owned by Hollywood at this point
From a narrative point? Yes. Williams are a positive influence.
A Williams back on the top would just be amazing.
Even if it were the same kind of results for 2014/5. That would do.
friendly neighbourhood "guy on a ladder"
I see this as temporary for Williams. Owned by an investment company. They’ll likely get flipped for a huge profit. I think Vowles is Toto’s successor. Albon will move to a bigger team. And keeping Sargent is not the decision of a serious team.
Perhaps the upward trend continues, but I see it ending in a year or two.
It would've happened by now. The team is worth 4x the value it was in 2020. Dorilton sees worth in it for the long haul
@@LawVS I disagree. Between upcoming broadcast rights deals, upgrading Williams’ facilities, and whatever else Liberty has up their sleeve, I don’t think they’ve maximized their value yet.
Granted the next owners may also be ambitious, but it’s Dorilton’s competence that’s impressed me.
As nice as it would be. McLaren clearly underperformed in recent years. Williams on the other hand overperformed this season. Unfortunately I really can’t see them any higher than 7th
I think James would be fine with that. They would've been OK with not being last in 2023.
I like you Law. You have just about the same salt and vinegar as I have. With maybe a slightly lesser knowledge of the geopolitics involved and the moneymen behind the sport. Mine has been constrained to the commentsections, but boy do I love your takes😂
I suppose I don't as I'm more of an optimist and not a rich man!
Albon redemption is what got me into F1 i am high on hopium for a podium this year or at least a double point finish for them.
I am hopeful he sticks with the team until they're back on their feet.
Such a shame that we lost Manor :( 20 cars just isn't enough imo
It's one of the more underrated "If only..." stories.
@LawVS yep, fully agree. They were a team that really embodied that minardi spirit, bless them!
Alpha Tauri just changed their TH-cam channel to Visa Cash Grab RB
They actually did it. Wow.
The old logo looks so much better
It does have some good design cues, but it IS associated with a period that was quite bad for Williams.
James sees something in Logan alright. MONEY 💰 🤑
Not so. Logan is a Williams academy driver and James is honouring their commitment to him since the team rushed him in.
@@LawVS his uncle is a billionaire and that’s why he got the seat in 2023 with his middling record
All the teams are stating they are making improvements leading up to the new season then when that year’s drive to survive comes out they are all bummed out at their lack of progress hahahaha
It's the public face versus the reality.
I, for one, would enjoy seeing Albon lapping RedBulls in a 2025 Mercedes. Or in a 2024 Williams for that matter.
Fair enough but his time with Williams isn't over.
I love Albon, I hope he goes far in this sport
Law, do you ever sleep? I see all the "burnout videos" around YT and, as much as I love your reports, I'd love to have them for years to come!
I thank you for your concern but I am the kind of person that can do the whole aspect of video production so there's no feedback loop. That and it's my hobby as well.
Williams never, ever, in all their years, had a repeat champion. All bar one champion of theirs either retired or quit the team shortly after.
1980 - Alan Jones - retired in 81, came back a few times for different reasons
1982 - Keke Rosberg - Stayed until 85, but honestly should have left as Williams were nowhere in these years
1987 - Nelson Piquet - Quit the team that year and moved to Brabham citing the team as the reason for leaving.
1992 - Nigel Mansell - Quit the team that year and went to indy
1993 - Alain Prost - Retired at the end of the year
1996 - Damon Hill - Forced out of the team at the end of his championship season
1997 - Jacques Villeneuve - Left at the end of 1998
This is why i have never cared for Williams as a team. they never cared for their talent and there was never really a personality to latch onto like the other great teams.
Prost & Senna at McLaren, Schumacher at Ferrari, Seb and Max at Red Bull, Lewis at Mercedes. Williams, despite winning the 3rd most races never, ever had that.
Actually Mansell and Hill were forced out due to Frank and Patrick bailing on their future at the start of the year...then the drivers nail it. Oops.
@@LawVS Yeah, shockers really. Its amazing the team did as well as it did with such a complete disdain for drivers
Williams could make a deal with Porsche and Gulf
Well they're halfway there already
shame for those still sleeping on williams. coming years are going to be fantastic for them, surely.
They've seen how McLaren have navigated the cost cap era and want more of that.
It's really hard to say your British bias is showing since 70% of the F1 is British based (I'm counting Racing Bulls or whatever they are going to call themselves next year). People are drawn to the underdog story and Williams seems like the underdogs that are getting right at this point. Also nice subtle passing gas reference you put in there.
I know, but I feel obliged to say it sometimes.
This man has lofty ambitions
That's the plan!
@@LawVS
U deserve great success. Very best of luck to u
Williams can beat Alpine for that 6th place in the constructor given Alpine mess of management this 2024 season.
I definitely think that Alpine is the first target before Aston Martin and then THE WORLD.
I feel that alphatauri(I am not referring them as vcarb) will be ahead of both alpine and williams because they're going to be closer to rb
Kind of Williams v Benneton again!
Alex albon can help build Williams into a race winning team again 👍🏻
He's already made a good start with that. Now he's got a good TP & TD to make his feedback a reality.
Williams success? I’d like to see it, but I’m not holding my breath. More pressingly, I hope Albon jumps to a better seat ASAP.
They have got a good plan in motion. Now let's see them act it out.
