I think when we decided to give him the race seat one and a half years ago, we hoped for this trajectory. The ups and downs you expect from a young driver aged 18 in the first year, and eventually by the second year [we hoped] the success would materialize and I think this is happening.

We have a team making [Tokyo] specifically, and a lot of that is: it's our biggest city we've ever made. It's so layered and so detailed - much more than anything we've done in the past. To make Tokyo City for Forza Horizon, we really need a dedicated team. It covers everything from roads, buildings, foliage, terrain; Tokyo has all of it.

The GP5000 S TR is the all-rounder, balancing weight and protection for a fast but durable (and puncture protected) ride. Designed for general purpose road riding, the new size lets you push the boundaries of what "all road" really means. And the increased volume means you can run lower pressures for more traction and comfort while doing so.

We've been involved with the business for five years now. It's an incredible brand with lots of legacy and great values, and there's a long-term plan here. That was supported by two things last year: Carlos joining us, who obviously saw the opportunity when it came to wanting to win; and finishing fifth. And that just supported our story of going back to the top.

When I was younger I was frustrated, I was getting angry, especially when I was at Williams and finishing second to last every weekend. I was pissed off. I worked my whole life to get to F1 and now I'm at the back, and doing nothing. So I had to work on that, how do I deal with that and I came to the realisation that I just need to focus on my job.

In the short term, expectations are brutally realistic, but this is still a team intent on making noise from day one. That intent will be made clear when Cadillac unveils the livery of its first F1 car during a Super Bowl commercial Sunday. Such a move is a statement and arrival aimed as much at mainstream America as at a paddock that, for years, questioned whether the brand belonged on the grid at all.

In short, it's because of a complete overhaul of the power unit, chassis and aerodynamic regulations for 2026. Such a big change, especially on the engine side, means teams need a couple of extra tests to get their heads around how to operate the new cars before the first race. It was the same last time we had a major power unit shake-up in 2014.

The hybrid controller features a miniature direct-drive steering wheel positioned in the center, delivering force feedback and 1080-degree rotation for immersive racing game action. Designer: Gamesir For racing sim fans, the quandary has always been to either choose a portable setup, or go for more detailed but bulky setups. This gamepad hits the sweet spot for casual gamers like me who always wanted something that's compact.

In a more-natural habitat - the serpentine road course of Sonoma Raceway - this 1,250-horsepower hybrid advances its case as the fastest production car in American history, and among the speediest to ever roam this planet's surface.

In the 2021 Italian GP, Lewis Hamilton nearly had his head crushed when Max Verstappen's car literally climbed on top of his, with the car's bottom grazing past his helmet and onto the protective Halo. Later on, Toto Wolff of the Mercedes team breathed a sigh of relief, also reflecting on how much he fought against the addition of the Halo to the F1 car design. This isn't the first time a Halo has saved a life. Leclerc's helmet showed the battle scars of Fernando Alonso's tire from a similar incident in the Belgian GP in 2018.

Cadillac's response was to design specifically for that liminal space. The testing livery features what they call "the Cadillac precision geometric pattern" in gloss and matte sequences, turning functional camouflage into brand vocabulary. They're using the constraint of secrecy to communicate design philosophy, establishing that their approach blends automotive prototype discipline with motorsport theater. The giant Cadillac crest draped across the engine cover isn't trying to hide anything. It's declaring that the space between stealth and spectacle is itself worth designing for.

The newly unveiled car is ultra-agile thanks to the weight reduction achieved by shaving off components like the skid-control, torque-vectoring, or automatic brake-assist. It doesn't even have power steering, and gives buyers the option to skip the air conditioning unit for weight reduction, making it the ideal fit for raw purists who want to feel every little change happening in the driving dynamics.
