McLaren & Lego Unveil Lego Technic McLaren P1

The British supercar maker McLaren Automotive and the Lego Group today unveil their latest collaboration paying tribute to the world’s most pioneering hybrid hypercar, with the introduction of the Lego Technic McLaren P1.

The McLaren P1 redefined automotive high-performance as the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar of its time. The P1 leveraged McLaren’s advanced motorsport-based engineering, featuring ground-breaking advances in weight reduction, packaging, high-speed performance, powertrain and aerodynamics.

Created with the intention of being ‘the best driver’s car in the world on both road and track’, the design and technical specifications of the McLaren P1 provided the ideal foundation to deliver on this ambition. The remarkable hypercar is recognized as a landmark both for McLaren and the development of high-performance hybrid vehicles.

The incredible engineering and technology underpinning the performance, style and functional design the McLaren P1, made it the perfect challenge for the Lego Technic team to replicate in 1:8 scale.

Unveiled as part of the Lego Technic Ultimate Car Concept Series, the all-new 1:8 scale Lego Technic version consists of 3,893 elements and each car features a unique serial number which unlocks special behind-the-scenes content. The model has a 7-speed gearbox with 2 shifter drums, suspension, V8 piston engine, adjustable rear wing, and opening dihedral doors with advanced mechanism – all guaranteeing an immersive building experience from start to finish that is authentic to the real McLaren P1.

The Lego Technic McLaren P1 set will be available from 1st August 2024 priced at €449.99 / £389.99 / $449.99.

f1 has posted

f1 Y/n L/n and Max Verstappen are out of the Belgium Grand Prix after the Red Bull of Verstappen hit the back of L/n. The latter skidded across the track before rolling over. L/n will be looked over at the medical site, especially after her last DNF back in Japan.

max_and_rookie nah man, I like max but that was seriously his fault

y/n_on_top y/n had the priority to make way for him to win. he just ruined both of their races

max_all_the_way y/n should have just let him keep going tho?

redbullcan no she shouldn't cause Red Bull gave the 2-1 strategy, putting priority for the second car

maxiel333 I fear this is Azerbaijan 2018 all over again

f1fan well there goes that amazing teammate bond. great job max, what is this, 7 teammates? bout to be 8

Once again, you were hanging upside down, in the rain. But thankfully, this time you were conscious and talking. 

You pressed the button that immediately went to your panicking race engineer. 

“I’m fine Mitch. Stupid rain. This was definitely not the Spa I was looking forward to. You tell my asshole of a teammate that he owes me.” 

You switched your radio off before Mitch could reply. You were fuming as the marshals were trying to get you out once again. Your race suit was becoming wetter and wetter by the minute. Your back ached as you tried to move. 

So, how did this all happen? 

You had been able to get around Max, per team request to make way on the track that was a little less rainy. Apparently, Max thought that you were trying to get the jump on him and completely rammed the back of your RB20, sending you flying. It was definitely a mirror reflection of Azerbaijan 2018. 

How you ended up rolled over once again, you didn’t know. Maybe your car just didn’t have great balance when it came to kerbs and getting rear-ended. 

In a few minutes, the marshals were able to get you out. As you stretched when you got out, your eyes landed on Max’s RB20 with its nose crumpled and wheel hanging off. You smirked under your helmet. 

“Serves him right.” 

You two were doing amazing that weekend. Max had gotten pole once again, and you were right behind him. Except that Charles was so close behind Max most of the race. Mitch had given you the 2-1 and had told you that GP had also given the Dutchman the same order. 

There was still time for you to have given the position back, but you were quicker on the slicks. You could have easily brought home another 1-2 race. 

But now Charles would probably get his third win of the season because Max was too selfish. 

You watched as he climbed out of his own cockpit and your blood began to boil. He not only ruined his race, but yours as well. Your arms were crossed as you stood in the rain. Replays of the wreck were playing on the big screens, just for your enjoyment. 

The longer you watched, the angrier you got. 

A push to your arm brought your eyes from the big screen to the Dutch driver. 

“The fuck was that?” he angrily questioned. 

Your eyebrow raised under your helmet. Although you were shorter, you knew how to throw your weight around. So, you shoved his shoulder back. 

“Me? The fuck was that with you Max. I was given priority! This was your fault!” you shouted, earning looks from the marshals around the two of you. 

Max just glared. “My fault? That was clearly a rookie mistake.” 

He pushed you again. 

You let out a dark chuckle. “Rookie mistake? No Max. That was a you mistake.” 

Your pointer finger dug into his chest, earning you another shove. One that sent you to the ground. You were now down, looking up at Max as he glared down at you. Tears welled up in your eyes as you watched him stalk away. 

A marshal was quick to help you to your feet. Max didn’t ride back with you to the paddock and walked the entire way. You, however, took advantage of the ride back and immediately tried to hide inside your drivers room when you got back. You kept your helmet on the entire time and wanted to refuse to go to the medical room. Mitch was adamant about you going since the last time you were bruised pretty badly. 

She made sure it was quick: just a check over. After, your race engineer left you to yourself. While you undressed and peeled off your wet race suit, your mind started swimming. 

Feelings of guilt and anxiety were building in your core. Soon, you were beginning to sob as you sat on your little bed. Really, all you wanted to do was curl up and sleep, preferably with your boyfriend, who was all the way in the Ferrari garage. 

Your sobs quieted down as your eyes began to droop. Taking a nap right now seemed to be a good choice as you lied down on the small bed, curling up in a ball. A nap would keep you safe from whatever was going on. You didn’t have to deal with anything if you were asleep. 

Right as you were falling asleep, Max had just gotten back to the garage. His helmet was in his hands and his eyes were to the floor, missing the disapproving looks from everyone. On the way back, he had time to think about what he had done. 

Yes, he knew that you were given priority, but didn’t know exactly why. You didn’t seem faster on the slicks or were gaining. He didn’t expect you to go around him like that. And now looking back, he could see that you were making a way for him by getting rid of some water on the track so he could get more grip. 

What he didn’t expect was a shove to the back and a punch to the face. He barely had time to turn around before he landed on his ass on the concrete of the garage. He was so taken back that he really couldn’t understand what was going on. 

All he knew was that his face hurt, his ass hurt, and his pride hurt. 

How could he have done that to you? 

When he got his bearings, he finally saw a certain Monegasque be held back from jumping on him. Spits of French and English were thrown at him, and he deserved it. Once he was back on his feet, Arthur took two handfuls of his race suit and pulled him down. 

There was hardly a height difference, but right now Arthur looked a lot bigger than Max did. 

Arthur leaned close to Max’s face. 

“How dare you? You know that she would do anything for you and what do you do to thank her? You push her down. You break her down. You blame her for your mistake.”

Silence was all that Max could offer. 

Arthur scoffed as he let go. 

“You’re no better than her parents.” 

With that, he left and walked toward your room. He harshly pushed the door open, only to find you sound asleep, oblivious to the world outside. Arthur turned off the lights before gently climbing into your bed. He didn’t know how the two of you had fit, but you did. 

He guessed that you must have sensed him as you turned over and dug your head into his neck almost immediately. Arthur pulled out his phone before googling flights back to Monaco, back to home. He’d keep you in his pocket if he had anything to do it.

Max had gotten a long talking to after everything was over. Christian probably screamed at him for over an hour, plus what GP and then what Mitch had to say after. He had wanted to apologize beforehand, but it seemed as though Arthur didn’t wat Max near you within a 25 foot radius. 

And when the Dutchman thought he could speak to you at the hotel, he had to find out the hard way that you had left that afternoon to go back to Monaco before the second Italian Grand Prix. Max huffed as he thought over what he should do. 

Just as you had anxiety and guilt about the incident, Max dubbed his as 10 times worse. This was it. In the past, everyone told him that he always messed up teammates for other drivers. That’s why Daniil didn’t work out, or Carlos, or Daniel, or Pierre, or Alex, or Checo. One way or another, Max always fucked it up. 

Well, that’s what his mind was telling him. 

And he didn’t want you to just be another name to the list. 

So with phone in hand, and pilot on call, he made the executive decision to fly back to Monaco. He knew exactly where your apartment was, since you gave me the address when you first moved in and a key for emergencies. 

When he landed, he went straight to the grocery store. Knowing that you had the cooking skills of Arthur and Charles combined and the pickiness of Lando amplified, he guessed that you and Arthur probably haven’t had dinner yet. So, he grabbed ingredients to make pizza. Simple enough. 

He drove to your flat and was suddenly enveloped with fear. He hit his head on the steering wheel once he parked. 

“I’m so stupid,” he whispered to himself as he gazed at the lights on in the windows. His head was still on the wheel as he turned to look down. What he failed to notice was you looking through the window. 

“Cheri? Is everything alright?” you heard Arthur call out from the kitchen. You two had just burnt some pasta while trying to make dinner. You gazed down at the familiar car parked in front. 

“Cheri?” 

Now Arthur was close, also looking out the window. 

“It’s Max.” 

The Monegasque scoffed. “What’s he doing here?” 

You hummed. “He’s probably wanting to apologize. I know what he’s like. Thur, he didn’t mean it.” 

Arthur’s eyes changed from cold to understanding. He had heard enough stories from his own brother along with gossip in the paddock about Max’s childhood (or lack thereof). 

He huffed once before saying, “Go to him and then invite him up.” 

He watched as your eyes lit up, before you placed a kiss on his lips. A smile formed on his lips as he watched you slide shoes on and go out the door. Arthur turned back to the kitchen. He guessed he needed to clean up before you invited thee Max Verstappen into the house. 

Max was so caught in his head that he missed you peering in. Only when you slightly knocked on the door, did he jump. He accidentally pressed the horn, making it echo down the empty road. He quickly unlocked the door, which let you slip in. 

His blue eyes gazed into yours before he started to cry. You looked at him with a frown on your face as he tried to desperately wipe his tears. He took many harsh inhales, trying to get his emotions under control. 

Max expected you to yell, scream, and hit at him. Yet, you gently placed a hand on his back and started to comfort him, like he’s done many times before. 

You let him cry and cry until he was ready to talk. 

“I’m such an asshole,” was the first thing that escaped his lips after his sobs started to break. 

You chuckled. “I could have told you that.” 

Max’s lips curved upwards in a small smile before going straight once again. He took another shuddering breath before continuing. 

“I don’t want to repeat the past. I am so sorry for what I did to you, that was unfair of me. I wanted to apologize before you left, but I was too late. And I didn’t want to end today without apologizing to you. Because I don’t want you to be another teammate that I failed.” 

He turned to you, eyes still glossy with leftover tears. 

You leaned to give him a hug across the dash, one that he was thankful for. 

He was the first one to part, still wiping at his eyes. You only gazed at him with compassion. When he was done sniffling, you started to talk. 

“Max, look at me please?” 

He turned his head so his bloodshot blue eyes could look at you. He looked utterly exhausted and your heart broke. If he was anything like you, you knew how much guilt he was carrying. 

“You’re not, we’re not, going to repeat the past. I just need you to understand that I am your team player. And when I’m given a team order, I will follow it every time.” 

Max’s head nodded in agreement. 

“I’m sorry.” 

“I already forgave you before I left the paddock. I heard Christian yelling at you.” 

A snort left his nose. “It was probably for the best.” 

The car was filled with a comfortable silence before Max broke it. 

“Did you and Arthur have dinner yet?” 

“Max. What do you think?” 

“I’m going to take that as a no. Good think I bought groceries. Seriously, I am getting you and the Leclercs cooking lessons for Christmas.” 

“I’m not that bad.” 

“You almost burnt down my entire kitchen.” 

“Not on purpose.”

General info

Finnaly got around to writing this thing lol. Feel free to switch out oc's name for your name if you want it to be a self insert. This whole thing is definitely self-indulgent, but feel free to leave suggestions.

She'll be driving for Porsche, their car is mainly yellow and black like a bee with minimal white accents. The suits are yellow with black from the palm of the gloves down the sides. Think Miles Morales spider suit from across the spider-verse but the second color going all the way down to the boots. With a white collar and shoulders.

The main character is a faceless, 20 year old female driver named Snow. She got her driver number with a random number generator.

Sebastian Vettel is a team principal for the new team and adamantly wanted Snow to be one of his drivers. In all honesty he’s still a grid dad/mom/parent.

She wears a motorbike helmet when she has to do anything that relates to f1, partying with the rest of the grid? Helmet. In public with someone from the grid? Helmet or a mask + sunglasses + hat combo.

She trains in the helmet as well to get used to wearing it all the time.

Might upgrade to an LED one that shows facial expressions later on.

She collects mostly motorcycles rather than cars. Her favorite is a custom black Kawasaki Ninja 400 with changeable LED underglow.

She's shy with new people and on camera (in the beginning) but becomes a menace. She is considerate but a feral gremlin nonetheless.

Definitely a yapper of given the chance.

She's shorter than Yuki by 6 cm and he reminds her every time they meet.

She has 0 self-preservation skills, not a single brain cell in that helmet.

When she wants to nap she hides in the weirdest places. She has been found asleep in a tree more than once.

Likes to munch, and is often seen munching on carrots, cucumbers or dried fruits before races. She's not a picky eater, and would try exotic fruits for fun.

Has a sibling relationship with most of the grid, a dad relationship with Sebastion, and an uncle with Lewis, Valtteri, Sergio, and Fernando.

Dark Gen Z humor and energy to the max.

Trauma? Yes.

Self-deprecation? Master class.

Secret emotional support stuffed animal? Yes.

Where are her parents? She doesn't have any. She just materialized into existence. At least, that's what she says.

Her warm-ups are balance exercises with juggling.

Before races, she gives everyone in her team helmet kisses/headbutts as an endearing ‘thanks in advance’ or a ‘let’s do well, good luck’.

Afterward, she will full on headbutt drivers if they have their helmets on or a helmet kiss if they don't, as a ‘congratulations you did it’ or ‘a you did well’.

Piastri gets biggest ratings boost in F1 23 August update | Gaming

Oscar Piastri has received the biggest attributes boost in the latest driver ratings update for F1 23, the official video game for the 2023 Formula 1 season. EA Sports have released the August update for their F1 game, developed by Codemasters, corresponding with the launch of the second season of the game’s Podium Pass. All 20 drivers included in the game – with Nyck de Vries still present in the game and Daniel Ricciardo to be added in a later patch – have received attributes adjustments, with 13 drivers having their overall rating affected. The biggest change comes for McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, whose overall rating jumps three points from 76 to 79, making the Australian driver even clearer on top as the best ranked rookie in the game over Logan Sargeant, but still only the 18th-best rated driver on the grid. Piastri’s ratings buff has been bumped by his three latest race weekends across Silverstone, Hungaroring and Spa-Francorchamps, in which he benefitted from a major upgrade package to the McLaren MCL60. He’s received a gain of six points on his pace rating and three to his racecraft. The three top rated drivers in the field, Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, have each had their overall ratings increased by one in the latest update. Verstappen remains the best rated driver in the game, now at a 96 overall as each of his four attributes rose by one point. Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll has received the biggest drop in his overall rating for this latest update, dropping two points to an 81 overall after losing two to his racecraft and pace attributes. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jnr has dropped from 88 overall to 87, while Charles Leclerc has lost four points to his awareness rating, but remains an 89 overall. George Russell, Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas have all dropped one point overall, while Alexander Albon, Pierre Gasly, Yuki Tsunoda and Nico Hulkenberg have each been boosted by one.

The Noise

Cinnamon, Demo of the Month, October 1998

Opening track Free To leave has kinda rough-edged and spartan production values, but we can tell from the get-go that Sue has an in-your-face mode of presentation which might well lead to- forgive us if we gush- stardom. These songs are brilliant, stellar, and other adjectives connoting brightness that we tend to use when we get tired of the word "great." The jangly and harsh Cry For Frances deserves to be singled out- it's a classic right up there with "The Boy With Perpetual Nervousness" by The Feelies, or "Hate My Way" by Throwing Muses...We've listened to it a couple dozen times, and each go-round reveals new chunks of vituperation, presumably directed against Courtney Love- I like the way the singer mocks the former Ms. Cobain's vocalizing in the coda, and I think the hapless Brit who slapped together that Kurt and Courtney documentary ought to seriously consider playing this tune under the closing credits (and whoever thought of sticking a xylophone in there deserves a round of applause.) Equally wonderful is Paint the Town - the faux naif primitivism of Beat Happening meets the earnest lyricism of Jules Shear circa "Shadows Break" - this tune is inimitable in its own way as Green On Red's "Gravity Talks." Take It mines an elegiac mode that goes back at least as far as Neil Young's acoustic musings or Smashing Pumpkins in orchestral mode a la "Tonight, Tonight." It exploits a start and stop rhythmic impetus about as smartly as any band we've ever heard outside of the now-superannuated Rolling Stones. This one sent an art chill down my spine from the very first listen. Even the less successful songs, like Stay Away and the Laura Nyro-esque The Station adhere to a certain standard of excellence. Tape of the month for October. (Francis DiMenno)

Band profile by Joe S. Harrington, February 1999

I saw the live act: Sue in the red dress. And the cigarette. It was perfect. No wonder she has a "smoky" voice on Free To Leave (which is a dusky number with a broomsweep rhythm literally kicking up some dust (as in "head out on the dusty trail" etc.) Actually let me correct myself: that was the second time I saw 'em. The first time I must confess I thought "oh, more girl/boy stuff, total '91" and took the cassette they gave me and smashed it on the pavement walking home from the Middle East drunk one night at three in the morning. But then I might've done that with any cassette by any up-and-comers who'd foisted their homespun hopes and dreams on me. However, like Malcolm McLaren (another anarchist who was sick of it all) I know shit from shit. So that second time I saw 'em the SONGS kicked in. Maybe it was thanks to drummer Tony, who's a kick-ass stick-twirler worthy of your praise, awe and money. Listen to his machine-gun hands all over Cry For Frances, a great expositional forum for Sue which she embellishes even more in live-performance so that her manifesto becomes even more dramatic with her punching the mike stand and stomping down a li'l harder in her cowpoke boots. It's got one of those refrains that totally takes off, which can be said for almost all of their songs, once you really listen. Steve's Paint the Town is another winner. But then again, Steve's always been one of my fave over-emoting artists, ever since his days in Meatsicle, or his forays into poetry reading, which was really just a disguise so he could perform his exhibitionist/primal therapy looney tunes. He is one too (a loony that is) but with a winning personality and a high tolerance for alcohol. Sue's no slouch in that category either: she comes up from the tradition of other hard-boozin' lay-days like Patsy Cline and Jenny Mae, a real raucous jet-age momma who's voice evokes the slaughterhouses of western Kentucky. Which isn't where she's from at all. Hell, I don't know where she's from. Maybe Venus: check out the dreamy middle-eight in Stay Away which almost bursts out of ethereal Barbara Manning territory and then tell me she's in any way earthbound. I don't think so. Steve said she even got compared to Laura Nyro by one reviewer, then he asked "is that a compliment?" And I told him: "Yes son, it's a compliment." Sure enough, she emotes in the same realm of late-night loneliness and haunted obsession as Ms. Nyro did once upon a time. In fact, I can still smell the candle wax burning.(JSH)

The Weekly Dig

Treblemaker CD review, October 25, 2000

There is an irony in the new album, Treblemaker, by local rockers My Own Worst Enemy. The most memorable track on the album, Cry For Frances, is an angry, accusatory diatribe against Ms. Courtney Love. This song is the only one with the lyrics printed in the liner notes: "You're more vacuous than your band's name/fascinating/come on fascinate me/I hate you." Yet, throughout the album, listening to lead singer Sue, she sounds like, well...her voice has that thick, boozy slightly nasal tone, like Courtney Love right before she starts screaming. In fact, I'm sure My Own Worst Enemy could do a fabulous cover of Miss World. The rest of the album lacks the aggressive guitars of Cry For Frances. In fact, the band is made up of and acoustic/electric guitar combo that gives them a jangly kind of Throwing Muses sound. The album is pleasantly poppy, with switching girl/boy vocals and halfway catchy songs. Free To Leave is possibly the strongest song on the album, with searing vocals and propelling, pulsing drum work. It's a treat to hear this song. The richness of the guitars and vocals sound like a band larger than My Own Worst Enemy's three-piece of guitars and drums. The song also successfully works the hard/soft dynamic, filling in the song with girlish contradictions. (Maybe I'm a sucker for dramatically jangly guitars.) Other songs are less successful, trying for pop intimacy, but they're not very hummable. Treblemaker is a debut album filled with potential, and I hope that the band can develop upon it's best moments, creating more drama in it's two-guitar attack. (Elisabeth Donnelly)

Treblemaker CD review, December 2000

My Own Worst Enemy is the rough-cut, unpretentious rock of cigarettes and straight liquor. The band doesn't even have a bass player, for the love of god! The production on Treblemaker, their debut CD, has a sort of Dumptruck sensibility, complete with fuzzily distorted guitars at low volumes, drums set nicely in the background, vocals up front and clean. Lead singer/songwriter Sue is no lilting, yodeling, cookie-cutter, modern-rock femme vocalist. Rather, her voice embodies all the desperation and formidableness of a late 70's Patti Smith. And when Garfield, the first cut on the CD, takes an unexpected turn into its somber but infectious chorus, Sue's unmistakable talent for songwriting shines through as brilliantly as her voice. As far as the lyrics go, Treblemaker is a journal of loss and bitterness, sometimes mellow and dreamy, sometimes edgy and biting. And just when you think you've reached your fill of alcohol-laced depression, here comes guitarist/songwriter Steve with Paint the Town, and electrifying blast of a tune that rises above the somber mood of the rest of the CD. But of course the sentiment here is just as stark- "let's paint the town red tonight!"- like rising out of your depression long enough to go out and get blasted on alcohol. Steve's singing on this track and one other entitled Portland is emotive and raw. In fact, their songwriting and singing styles complement each other perfectly. If you like honest, guts-on-the-table rock devoid of trickery and preciousness, then My Own Worst Enemy is the band for you. This is the kind of CD you'd expect to hear blasting from behind the counter of your favorite indie record store. With any luck, Treblemaker should become a college radio favorite. (Wayne Gibbus)

The Noise

Butterfly demo review, May 2002

The opening track (MIA) is power pop produced with the echoey twang of rockabilly and performed with the reckless killdevil ambiance of Ventures-style surf twang. A fragment of delight. Poison is a Boston-area classic-in-the-making, a song slopping over with the sort of pop theatrics that could have issued whole from the maw of 7 or 8 Worm Hearts circa 1989 or maybe even the Dangerous Birds circa 1983. A blast from the unreconstructed recombinant past. Best of all is Not The One, which is sui generis- in some strange way. I would hardly care to associate with the kind of person who couldn't appreciate the madman incantation of a chorus like "I'm the one you wanted, not the one you got." Nor should you. This is one demo you shouldn't oughta let get away. (Francis DiMenno)

Toto Wolff confirms Mercedes DID try to sign Daniel Ricciardo for 2023

Toto Wolff confirms Mercedes DID try to sign Daniel Ricciardo for 2023 as team boss concedes that the lure of 'coming home' to Red Bull saw him miss out on capturing the Australian By Ollie Lewis For Daily Mail Australia Published: 11:58 GMT, 6 December 2022 | Updated: 11:58 GMT, 6 December 2022 Toto Wolff has revealed that Mercedes were in the race to sign Daniel Ricciardo for 2023, but the lure of 'coming home' to Red Bull saw the Silver Arrows miss out on the Australian. Sportsmail reported earlier this year that Mercedes had earmarked Ricciardo as a possible successor to Lewis Hamilton after the Australian's contract with McLaren was torn up a year early amid a poor 2022 campaign.  However, Red Bull won the race to sign the 33-year-old and announced him as their 'third driver' for the 2023 season late last month. Toto Wolff has admitted that Mercedes tried to sign Daniel Ricciardo for the 2023 season 'Yeah, there were discussions,' Wolff confirmed via GP Fans. 'He is a super guy. There is nothing to say. It's a shame that he is not in a cockpit because Daniel Ricciardo needs to be in a race car. 'But it didn't happen. Nobody understands why the years in McLaren didn't work out like all the previous years did. I remember Daniel from the junior series and he was always there.' Ricciardo stamped himself as a star in the making during his time in the junior ranks with Red Bull, and Wolff has conceded that the Australian's fond memories at Red Bull played against them. 'Basically, we just needed time to figure out what we wanted to do and Red Bull was his home for a long time,' added Wolff. 'He knows the people and he hopefully has a good deal there.' Ricciardo was a man in demand after his early exit from McLaren following a poor season But Wolff says Mercedes could not compete with Red Bull's offer of 'coming home' next year After his return to Red Bull was confirmed, Ricciardo said: 'The smile says it all, I'm truly excited to be coming back home to Oracle Red Bull Racing as their Third Driver in 2023. 'I already have so many fond memories of my time here, but the welcome from Christian, Dr Marko and the entire team is something I'm sincerely appreciative of. 'For me personally, the ability to contribute to and be surrounded by the best team in F1 is hugely appealing, whilst also giving me some time to recharge and refocus.  'I can't wait to be with the team and support with simulator work, testing sessions and commercial activities. Let's go!'  Share or comment on this article: Toto Wolff confirms Mercedes DID try to sign Daniel Ricciardo for 2023 via Formula One | Mail Online https://www.dailymail.co.uk?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490

F1 TRACKS: Louis Tomlinson takes over the music for this weekend's Italian Grand Prix

British singer-songwriter Louis Tomlinson is the latest artist to take over the F1 Tracks series as he puts together a playlist for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix. The award-winning musician also sits down with us for an exclusive Q&A where he reveals who his favourite drivers and teams are and his favourite Formula 1 memory, before delving into his new album Faith in the Future, set to be released in November. You can find his playlist here, and you can scroll down further for his Q&A. Q&A with Louis Tomlinson What’s the best thing about F1? The pure speed of the cars and the race to the first corner. Any similarities between the buzz of F1 and the buzz of live music? The adrenaline of going out on stage. But, unlike the drivers, at least I get a break on stage at times. In the car they can’t stop until all the laps are over. Favourite drivers? Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. Favourite teams? Red Bull and McLaren Favourite F1 track? Silverstone for the British GP. If you could pick one of your songs to be the new theme tune for F1, which would it be and why? Kill My Mind, as it’s a high-tempo song that evokes the same energy from me on stage as what happens on track. What are your favourite memories from following Formula 1? Going to Monaco in 2017 and seeing it for real. Which F1 driver do you think would make the best music artist and why? Kimi Raikkonen. I just see the rock star in him. You could go to a gig with three people dead or alive, who would they be and what band/artists would you go and see? Guenther Steiner, Max Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen to see Avicii at Ushuaia in Ibiza. Tell us about your new music? This new album represents me better as an artist, so I’m really excited about what’s to come. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com
