re> Top Trump administration officials are starting to point fingers squarely at SpaceX founder Elon Musk for the decision to slow down his company’s Starlink satellite internet services and its military counterpart Starshield for Ukraine, which has been muddled in uncertainty over the culprit. Looking to deflect the controversial move — which was swiftly admonished by powerful congressional Republicans and Democrats — Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday said Ukraine’s access to Starlink was up to Musk and not the White House. “The bottom ?line is that that is governed by a private commercial contract as to how their stuff can be used and what speeds they'll allow it to be used at,” Rubio told reporters while traveling to India. And Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, suggested Starlink’s slowdown was a commercial matter and not a result of any orders from the White House. “There are terms of service that ultimately need to be complied to, and that's where Starlink has the option to make those decisions,” Hegseth said. Taken together, the comments are a change of tune from President Trump’s original assertions last week that neither he nor Musk was responsible for the disruption. Rubio also on Saturday had insisted that no one ordered the slowdown. The about-face comes after The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Musk ordered the slowdown of the satellite services, a vital tool Ukraine uses to defend itself from Russian missile and drone attacks. Trump’s role is unclear. The Journal reported that at least one person claimed Musk and Trump spoke prior to the slowdown. Reuters reported last week that the order to throttle Starlink came from inside the White House, in a directive to the Pentagon. Sources speaking to Reuters did not specify who at the White House made the decision or who was responsible for implementing the order. “I don’t know who did it but I was not involved,” Trump told reporters Wednesday when asked. Trump and Musk have experienced periods of fallout in their relationship but appear on the upswing today. A low point in their relationship occurred during a major public spat in June 2025, where Musk alleged that files on the disgraced financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were kept secret to protect Trump. But the relationship has rebounded since then. Trump awarded Musk the National Medal of Science earlier this month. And Musk has provided more than $276 million for Republicans in the midterm elections, The New York Times reported. Outgoing Texas Sen. John Cornyn (R) on Wednesday said he doubted Trump had no hand in the slowdown, as he doesn’t believe Musk “would do this without at least the acquiescence of the White House.” “I think it’s frankly shameful,” Cornyn said on CNBC’s "Squawk Box." “I think we should be supporting the victim, not the aggressor.” Starlink’s slowdown in Ukraine came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lashed out at Trump for waiving sanctions on Russia and making a deal to purchase diesel from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelensky called Trump “weak” for making the deal. Part of Trump’s response to Zelensky was to blame him as the obstacle to peace with Putin. Republicans holding back blame on Trump for Starlink's throttling are demanding an investigation and accountability. Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.) have threatened to block Trump’s agenda during the lame-duck session if answers are not provided. “This is a very, very serious matter. It cannot be glossed over,” Fitzpatrick told CNN on Tuesday, following the Journal report. Fitzpatrick said if Musk ordered Starshield’s slowdown, “that is likely a violation of the law.” “He has decisionmaking authority over Starlink, the civilian commercial product, but not Starshield, which is a military-grade national security tool. No individual civilian should have any decisionmaking authority over how that’s deployed,” he said. Adding to the confusion, Rubio, who also serves as national security adviser, has said Ukraine does not have access to Starshield. “Starshield is a defense product ... the United States military uses,” Rubio told reporters last week. “It’s not at this moment available to Ukraine, and that’s under conversation. It’s under discussion right now of how they would want to use it.” Zelensky on Tuesday said he discussed with Rubio “the situation with Starlink/Starshield, which needs to be restored” and called the conversation “constructive” in a post on the social platform X. Part of that conversation is whether the U.S. could give Ukraine the ability to hit targets deep inside Russia, in particular missile launchers, in exchange for halting Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil refineries. Trump has demanded Ukraine halt strikes against Russian energy infrastructure, claiming that they are related to high diesel prices in the U.S., though they largely stem from the U.S. war against Iran. Russia has refused to halt strikes against Ukrainian energy sites, in particular civilian electricity and heating infrastructure. Zelensky’s allies in Congress have backed a proposal for the U.S. to give Ukraine the ability to hit Russian missile launchers in exchange for halting Ukrainian strikes against Russian energy facilities. “President Trump can lower prices at the pump today by simply agreeing to this deal!” Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) wrote Sunday in a post on X. Wicker’s pushback came after Trump announced he would buy Russian diesel to lower prices in the U.S. Ukraine’s ability to hit Russian launchers would rely on accessing Starlink inside Russia, where it's currently blocked. A bipartisan group of lawmakers — seven Republicans and 16 Democrats — wrote to Trump on Wednesday urging him to call Musk and give Ukrainians that access. “With one phone call, you could both save lives and give Vladimir Putin greater incentives to negotiate,” the lawmakers wrote. “If Ukraine cannot reliably intercept Russian ‘arrows,’ it must be able to shoot the ‘archer.’ The Starlink system run by Mr. Musk’s company SpaceX could help with that.” Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.

El-Sayed, Rogers claimed, engaged in "a pattern of deception" over his real aims.
"They are trying to distract you," El-Sayed said of Rogers and the Republican's arguments against him.
And so it went for an hour-long debate at WXYZ-TV's Southfield studios outside Detroit as El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee and former Wayne County and Detroit health director, sparred with Rogers, a former Republican congressman.
Here's a handful of takeaways from this debate ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm election.
This article originally appeared on Detroit Free Press at https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2026/10/21/final-michigan-us-senate-debate-rogers-el-sayed/92372617007/More debating, less bickeringThere was plenty of back-and-forth arguing and no dearth of personal attacks in this debate, but compared to the one 13 days previous at WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids, it was far more polite. Yes, there were times when the moderators had to remind one or the other of the time constraints and cut them off. And yes, there were plenty of harangues and invective, true or not. But it definitely didn't seem as chippy as the scene in west Michigan, as if both were a little more willing to keep from fighting after the bell.Making a pitch for Detroit and DemocratsIt seemed both were acutely aware that this debate was intended for a Detroit audience and the importance of that big voting bloc to their hopes of winning. Rogers tried to poke holes in El-Sayed's claims of building a statewide political coalition, noting he did not win Detroit in the August primary, a Democratic stronghold. (U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Birmingham, did, while losing statewide.) Rogers claims he's making inroads in the city. (His wife was recently handing out gas cards at an east side Detroit gas station, according to the Michigan Chronicle.) But El-Sayed turned the Detroit attack around, saying voters in the city are tired of those questioning the legitimacy of election administration in the city like Rogers has. El-Sayed said: "Folks in the city of Detroit are sick and tired of watching politicians deny the outcome of elections just like Mike has, just like Donald Trump has." And he dragged Rogers, presumably as a state legislator, as having helped create the emergency manager law that took some authority from Detroiters back in 2013 and remains a sore point in the city. Rogers also talked up the coalition of Democratic voters he has built to paint his opponent as flailing to secure support from within his own party. And while it's clear some Democratic voters, particularly Jewish voters, are uncomfortable with El-Sayed and his harsh line on aid to Israel, it's far from clear how large that group is (and whether it's not linked to Republican efforts). Major Democrats have backed El-Sayed, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and former President Barack Obama, who is coming into Detroit for him on Saturday, Oct. 24.DSA vs. TrumpEarly and often throughout the debate, Rogers characterized El-Sayed as being aligned with the policies and priorities of the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA. And repeatedly, El-Sayed tagged Rogers as an ally — referring to him during the debate as a "sock puppet" — of President Donald Trump, a supporter of his policies and having only gotten in the race to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Gary Peters because Trump asked him to do so. El-Sayed isn't a DSA member, he's made that clear. He does share some policy goals, like enacted universal, government-run health care and cutting military aid to Israel, with that group. But he also says he is a capitalist, one who wants more competition between business, not less. As for Rogers, he had defended — or at least failed to criticize — Trump's positions on tariffs and on the war in Iran until recently, and is now being accused of flipflopping. El-Sayed argued several times that Rogers and Republicans were playing "MAGA bingo" with their talking points, which were intended to distract voters from problems like the economy and high inflation. Rogers said El-Sayed just wanted to connect him with Trump. "This is really about America," he said. Asked if he plans to attend an upcoming Trump rally on Sunday, Oct. 25, Rogers told reporters: "I don't even know all the details." "But I'd go," he added. During the debate El-Sayed claimed that Rogers invited Trump, telling Rogers he is “embarrassed of the fact that you cannot win this race without Donald Trump coming here and stumping for you. That’s why you begged him to come.”Policy disagreements discussedRogers made his recent point on tariffs, especially as they regard Canada, again, saying the trade war with Michigan's neighbor needed to end after having previously defended it. He also partially defended Trump's tariffs again, arguing it had been good for the auto industry in some cases (while in fact, it's been a decidedly mixed bag with auto parts makers losing jobs over the last year.) El-Sayed again argued in favor of tariffs, but not in the unilateral and sweeping manner used by Trump. The two candidates also argued over Social Security, which is expected to be unable to pay its debts as of 2032, with Rogers repeating an unproven Republican claim that rooting out fraud could help stabilize it and El-Sayed arguing that taxing the wealthy could provide enough funding to right its finances, when it would likely take more than that. Meanwhile, Rogers blasted El-Sayed's push for universal health care, Medicare-for-All, saying it would destroy Medicare as we know it and take away people's health care; as a practical matter, there is no evidence it would do either, though it likely would mean (El-Sayed's claims aside) that people with private or employer-sponsored health care would not have the same plans they do now. (Instead, they would likely fall under the Medicare-for-All plan if implemented.) Also, during a yes/no answer on whether either supported expanding the U.S. Supreme Court: Rogers said, "no." El-Sayed said "yes, but fairly." Asked for the same yes/no response on whether either supported universal background checks for firearm purchases: El-Sayed said "yes," Rogers said, "It depends."Terrorist ties vs. warmongerAs expected, Rogers attempted to hammer El-Sayed again as having donors "from Hamas, Hezbollah," with no clear evidence supporting that or that El-Sayed has any link to those or any other groups advocating political violence, as the Free Press has previously reported. "We need to know, are you for America or these terrorist groups overseas?" Rogers said. "That is a risk to our national security." El-Sayed, meanwhile, called out Rogers' changing stance on the Iran war and noted Trump's weekend appearance in Michigan, suggesting the two remain in lockstep, despite Rogers' claims of independance. "They are hip-to-hip on this war, and you are paying the cost," he said. And Rogers, who has recently called for a swift end to the war, which is driving up fuel prices and driving down Republican chances in the midterm elections, did seem to defend the decision to go to war with Iran. "You want to pay $8 a gallon in gas? Let Iran get control of that region," Rogers said on the debate stage. In closing, Rogers continued to paint his Democratic opponent as extreme. "If you think about what's at stake in this election, it really isn't about left versus right anymore. It really is about the heart and soul of the country and who we are as Americans and the future we want for our children," he said. El-Sayed ended by describing himself as a patriot concerned that cost-of-living challenges and corporate interests in politics have curtailed opportunity for Americans. "Nobody appreciates the promise of America like somebody who understands exactly what America gave me," he said. "I love this country. I love the Constitution and what it protects for all of us. But right now, it has gotten way too hard."Will it make any difference?Aaron Kall, director of debate at the University of Michigan, didn't think so, believing Rogers had a hard time giving succinct answers in the time allowed and El-Sayed "had an annoying habit of continually referring to his opponent as 'my guy.'" "Much like their first contest, tonight's debate between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers was a heated exchange that mostly yielded a draw or split-decision that is likely unlikely to change the minds of many undecided voters," Kall said.

This article originally appeared on Detroit Free Press: 5 takeaways from final Michigan U.S. Senate debate and what was saidU.S. reportedly considering major strikes on Iran after the midterms Will the U.S. renew strikes on Iran?Intensified fighting between the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels and the Saudi and Yemeni governments has threatened to create a broader regional crisis that could be harder to disengage from. The State Department on Wednesday ordered nonemergency government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia amid escalating attacks by the Houthis on Saudi infrastructure. Houthi attacks on Saudi airports and Aramco facilities, as well as their attempts to disrupt shipping through Bab El-Mandeb, which has become an important alternative to the Strait of Hormuz for energy trade, could prompt direct U.S. strikes in support of Saudi Arabia, analysts have said. Trump said earlier this month that the U.S. “may” join Saudi strikes on the Houthis, although that has yet to transpire. Israel’s Oct. 27 election could also raise the stakes of additional military action. Netanyahu, whom Trump has endorsed, would remain in office until a new government is formed, even if his bloc loses the election, and his government would retain the authority to order strikes during that transition. But renewed strikes before the election, or after an electoral defeat, could invite scrutiny. “One ordered in the last weeks of a deadlocked campaign would be judged in Israel as politics as well as strategy,” Gregg Roman, executive director of the Middle East Forum, wrote in a September analysis. Nevertheless, the forum assessed that a large-scale Israeli strike on Iranian territory, with or without U.S. participation, was probable before the end of the year. Analysts told the Times Netanyahu could use the prospect of joint strikes to form a unity government that could allow him to stay in power. “The larger constraint,” Roman argued, “is Washington.” Trump has not yet approved the proposed strikes, the Times reported. Trump has also called off plans to renew attacks on Iran before. He reportedly blocked an Israeli plan for a multi-day offensive against Iran earlier this month, and rejected five proposals for major operations against Iran or the Houthis in recent months. The U.S. and Iran have not exchanged major fighting in recent weeks. The last reported U.S. strikes on Iran were on Sept. 8, even as Iranian attacks on commercial shipping have continued. Earlier this month, Trump ruled out attacking Iran before the midterms. Read More: What Is the Status of the U.S.-Iran Peace Talks? Here's What Both Sides Are SayingHow might Iran respond to new strikes?Tehran’s reluctance to make concessions to the U.S. appears to have strengthened, rather than weakened, over the course of the war. Iranian leaders reiterated this week that they will not directly negotiate with the U.S. unless Washington accedes to certain demands, which include ending its naval blockade and releasing frozen Iranian funds. The initial U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign on Iran that began the war on Feb. 28, as well as June 2025 attacks during an earlier round of U.S.-Iran nuclear diplomacy, also hardened the Iranian view that the U.S. is not serious about negotiating. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in March that the previous disruptions of negotiating rounds had increased distrust in Washington. Last month, the IRGC published an open letter appealing to American voters to “wrest control” from their government. In the letter, the IRGC said: “Despite all the hardships that our enemies impose on us, we will continue fighting, as we have done for the past 47 years.” Both the U.S. and Iran appear to believe they hold enough leverage to achieve their goals, and those “dueling perceptions” have impeded progress towards a deal, according to an Oct. 1 analysis by the New York-based nonpartisan research organization The Soufan Center. Iran’s key point of leverage is its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway vital to global energy trade. Iran’s militarization of the strait has disrupted global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, leading to soaring energy prices and inflation. Analysts previously told TIME that the higher prices are politically costly for Trump. In recent weeks, a growing number of Republicans have broken with Trump on Iran. The President has also seen his lowest approval ratings of his second term. Iran’s ability to choke off regional oil exports, however, appears to be waning. Middle East oil exports topped prewar levels last week as shipping companies use alternative routes to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. HSBC Group Chief Executive Georges Elhedery also projected that Hormuz could be “redundant” in five years thanks to investment in alternative logistics routes. Iranian officials told the Times that they are aware of the U.S. and Israel’s war planning and are developing their own tactics. Earlier this week, IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi told the Tehran Times that “even a limited” attack from Washington would provoke a “serious energy crisis” for the world. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said that an attack on Pickaxe Mountain would be met with a response “just as hard,” if not “stronger.” And earlier this month, Iranian officials said Iran had prepared potential retaliatory operations that would depart from the U.S. and Israel’s assumptions. Security Chief Mohsen Rezaei told Press TV that Iran could respond to renewed attacks by targeting new targets, including U.S.-linked data centers and AI facilities in the Gulf, as well as subsea communications cables. Last month, Iran threatened to retaliate against any further U.S. attacks by targeting U.S. oil and gas assets in the Gulf.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said, if the U.S. and Israel attack, “they may want to keep it short, but we will not allow it.” He added on Wednesday: “The war will continue longer and across a wider geography than the enemy calculates.”This Nebraska independent could decide which party controls the Senate The biggest question heading into November's midterms is whether, once all votes have been counted, Democrats or Republicans will win control of Congress. The final answer, though, might ultimately depend on someone who isn't a member of any party. Dan Osborn is an independent candidate running for Senate in Nebraska. He's challenging Republican incumbent Sen. Pete Ricketts in a race that appears on track to be the closest contest the deep-red state has seen in decades. Osborn has consistently been critical of both parties and puts major emphasis on the goal of breaking up their control over American politics. That could make him something of a wild card if he's elected to the nation's most important legislative body. Here's what you need to know about who he is, what he stands for and what he needs to do to pull off an upset in the typically deep-red state of Nebraska. re> Who is Dan Osborn?Osborn grew up in Omaha, Neb., as the son of a railroad worker and a seamstress. When he was 16, his parents moved to Washington state after his father suffered a workplace accident that forced him to transition to a desk job — Osborn chose to stay in Nebraska and live on his own. After graduating from high school, he joined the Navy and served for four years as a storekeeper on the aircraft carrier USS Constellation. After leaving the Navy, he did stints in both the Nebraska and Tennessee National Guards. In 2004, he began working as an industrial mechanic at a factory owned by the Kellogg's cereal company and joined his workplace union — a decision that would ultimately put him on the path to politics. He had risen to president of the union by 2021, when he led his coworkers into a contentious negotiation with the company that eventually resulted in a 77-day strike that became a major national story. re> Kellogg's fired him two years later after accusing him of watching Netflix while on the job, a charge he believes was a pretense for retaliating against him for his union activities. He happened to lose his job in the lead-up to an election cycle when both of Nebraska's Senate seats would be on the ballot. Osborn opted to run as an independent against incumbent Republican Sen. Deb Fischer, who was not facing a Democratic challenger. "Seeing how we were getting screwed by our bosses kind of lit a fire under me," he told the American Prospect in 2024. Fischer had won her previous bid for reelection by nearly 20 percentage points and looked to be a shoo-in for another term in the overwhelmingly Republican state. But Osborn's unpolished, everyman style and willingness to criticize both major political parties struck a nerve with voters, raising speculation that he just might have a real chance. By Election Day, polls showed him trailing by as little as a single percentage point. Those surveys proved to overstate how close the contest really was. In the end, Fischer won reelection by about 6.5 points. Though the race didn't end up being particularly close, it was far tighter than Nebraska's other Senate contest that same year. In that race, Ricketts defeated his Democratic challenger by more than 25 percentage points. When Osborn declared his interest in running again this year, Democrats once again chose to give him a clear runway to challenge Ricketts. The Democratic primary winner, Cindy Burbank, promptly withdrew from the race after being named her party's nominee. The Nebraska Democratic Party has urged voters to back Osborn as "the best opportunity to defeat Pete Ricketts." What does he stand for?The question of what Osborn stands for may be just as important as the question of who he will stand with if he gets elected to the Senate. There are currently two independents in the chamber, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Sen. Angus King of Maine. Both of them caucus with the Democrats, which means they generally work with Democrats on Senate business. Osborn has said he will handle things differently. "We're not going to caucus with either party. In fact, we'll caucus with everybody, you could say," he said during a press conference on Oct. 12. "Independent means independent." In an evenly divided Senate, Osborn's vote could be the tiebreaker determining whether a Democrat or Republican serves as majority leader, a position that gives whoever holds it the power to influence which legislation comes to the floor, shape committee leadership and set the chamber's legislative agenda. In terms of policy, one of Osborn's top goals is breaking what he's called the "two-party doom loop" in Washington under Democrats and Republicans. He supports proposals to reduce the influence of money in politics, including overturning Citizens United, banning lawmakers from trading stocks and eliminating "dark money" in elections. He has also called for term limits and an age cap for members of Congress. On social issues, Osborn largely believes in promoting individual freedom. Though he's personally opposed to abortion, he supports restoring the protections established by Roe v. Wade. He's a vocal advocate for gun rights, believes medical marijuana should be legal and wants to enact a nationwide "right to repair" policy for privately owned property. Osborn also supports strong, humane immigration enforcement, reining in government spending, middle-class tax cuts, expanding the Affordable Care Act, breaking up corporate monopolies and ending foreign wars. If elected to the Senate, Osborn's independent streak could make him a key swing vote on a number of important issues, giving him substantial influence over which bills become law. That would be a significant contrast to Ricketts, whose vote aligned with Trump's position 100% of the time last year, according to a tally from Roll Call. What are his chances?Osborn faces a steep challenge in his effort to oust Ricketts, even in a potential blue wave year. There are nearly the same number of registered Republicans in the state as there are voters from all other parties and independents combined. Polling in the Nebraska Senate race has been relatively sparse compared with some of the other higher-profile contests across the country. The few polls that have been released mostly suggest that Osborn remains the underdog. Though one poll last month showed him slightly ahead, two other recent polls have had him behind by 3 to 5 percentage points. At the same time, forecasters are still giving Osborn a genuine chance of winning. Last week, the nonpartisan Center for Politics shifted its rating for the race from Likely Republican to Leans Republican, suggesting the contest might have become tighter. The other major forecaster, the Cook Political Report, still classifies the race as a likely Republican victory.

Heading into the midterm elections, DHS has launched a wide-ranging effort to track down noncitizens it suspects of voting or registering to vote. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín barred DHS from relying solely on records generated through its voter-matching program for field operations involving people it knows, suspects or should reasonably suspect are U.S. citizens. The judge put her order on hold until 5 p.m. Friday, giving President Donald Trump’s administration time to appeal. DHS and Justice Department officials did not immediately comment. Her ruling applies to the nine states where DHS has focused its operations on voting issues: California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin. DHS built target lists from records on tens of millions of voters from official state voter rolls, commercial voter files and lists of 48.2 million voters that the judge deemed to have “questionable provenance.” The agency used artificial intelligence tools to enhance that data to find suspected noncitizens, who are ineligible to vote in federal elections. During the agency’s surge of investigations, DHS personnel were ordered to complete at least 40 reviews and had no more than 12 minutes to clear someone from the target list using commercial databases, the judge wrote. She found a high likelihood of error, in part because no federal database definitively captures the citizenship status of U.S. residents. The California Nurses Association and other groups sued over the initiative. The judge found that those organizations were likely to succeed on their claim that the administration’s initiative violates the Voting Rights Act’s prohibition on intimidating people who assist or mobilize voters. “The fear is objectively reasonable, and compounded by [DHS’s] use of data that is widely known to inadvertently include U.S. citizens, leaves citizens afraid that their name will be wrongly included in the hundreds of thousands identified for investigation,” wrote Martínez-Olguín, who was appointed to the bench by President Joe Biden. The decision is part of a broader legal fight over noncitizen voting that is intensifying in the weeks before midterm elections that will decide control of Congress. Last week, the Justice Department sued California election officials, alleging it had identified more than 20,000 noncitizens on their voter rolls and seeking an order that would prevent those voters’ ballots from being counted unless they proved their citizenship. Election officials called the lawsuit a political stunt and said a preliminary review of the data found the federal government’s allegations riddled with errors. And this week, the Justice Department announced charges against 28 Californians, accusing them of registering to vote or voting before they became naturalized citizens. Justice Department officials have recently touted similar charges and arrests in other states on social media and television appearances. The judge’s order Wednesday stemmed from a lawsuit brought by the state nurses association, National Nurses United, the Voto Latino Foundation, Santa Clara County and the city and county of San Francisco. “Today, the courts affirmed a vital principle of our democracy,” said Beau Tremitiere, an attorney with Protect Democracy who represents the groups. “Voting is a fundamental right that citizens - whether born here or naturalized - should be able to exercise without armed government agents harassing them.” Related Content This article originally appeared on Washington Post at https://washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/10/22/judge-blocks-dhs-investigations-noncitizen-voting-citing-flawed-data/ Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says data center builders have to be 'good neighbors' Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang says that for data center builders to win over communities, they must first partner with them and be good neighbors. "When you go into a community … before you start building, you ought to extend yourself out to the local community and partner with them," Huang told Deirdre Bosa during the company's GTC event in Berlin. "Let them know what you're about to do is going to bring, of course, all the benefits, but it's going to, of course, bring new neighbors," he said. Data center construction has faced major pushback across the US, with some counties and towns instituting outright bans on the facilities. New York has placed a one-year, statewide moratorium on data center construction. Texas, meanwhile, has put connecting new data centers to its grid on hold as it works to determine their potential impact. Residents have lodged complaints about the constant noise generated by data centers, water usage, increased electricity costs, and more.
To help ease tensions with local residents, some companies, including Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN), have taken steps to win over municipalities by dropping controversial nondisclosure agreements (NDAs). NDAs have become a key issue among some data center opponents, as they prevent local leaders from disclosing information about the projects. "Everybody has now taken a step back, whether it's the NDAs or contributing to the communities, whether it's building shops and … community centers and improving schools and in many cases even supporting lower taxes and, you know, all kinds of benefits that can be brought to the local communities," Huang said. "I think those are all good ideas, and each one of them ought to be … tailored for the needs of the community. But the most important thing is you've got to be a good visitor. You know you should be a good guest. And before you go into a community, stop by and see if you can be helpful," he added. re> Follow Daniel Howley on X @DanielHowley or email him at dhowley@yahoofinance.com.

Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone. After the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre – taking even the top soil with it – all that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River. “It doesn’t end. It goes on and on,” says Mari Annala, an ecologist from the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation (SLL), looking at drone footage of the former forest from the perimeter. With 145 new datacentres at various stages of planning, Finland has found itself at the forefront of the tech companies’ latest push. As well as its relative geopolitical and geological stability and abundance of land, the cool climate makes it especially attractive for saving on energy costs. re> Earlier this month, Google was ordered by the Finnish Licensing and Supervision Authority (LVV) to temporarily stop work on Muhos and another site about 100km south-east in the village of Otanmäki after it failed to complete the necessary environmental impact assessments before clearcutting the land. The news has prompted widespread outcry and a national reckoning over what role, if any, the country should play in the global rush to build datacentres to keep up with rapid AI development. Last week, Google’s Finland country manager, Antti Järvinen, apologised for the forest clearings but claimed the company had acted “on the best understanding we had of the legislation at the time”. Muhos and Otanmäki are part of a €13bn AI infrastructure project by Google that has attracted criticism from Donald Trump, who would rather the centres were built in the US and has publicly called for the company to reconsider. It is the biggest ever project of its kind in the Nordic country. The Finnish government, which has presided over deep spending cuts, has encouraged the investment. Last month, when the Google plans were announced, the country’s prime minister, Petteri Orpo, said attracting investment was a “top priority” and “the value of the data economy extends far beyond direct investment”. He said the Google deal would “deliver lasting benefits for both parties”. But the revelations over Google’s misconduct have prompted public concern over what these deals mean for nearby communities, energy prices for Finnish households and Finland’s natural environment, a national source of pride. The datacentre push is likely to become a key election issue when Finns go to the polls in April. In addition to the 250,000 trees felled at Muhos, Annala estimates that an additional 150,000 trees were felled at Otanmäki. Because the trees have been felled illegally, she says wood from the two sites cannot be sold to wood-processing plants. The move has also prompted questions over why Finland’s renewable energy sources are being used to power international corporations. More than 93,000 people have signed a petition demanding more datacentre regulation and a fee to compensate local communities for environmental damage. Since the scandal broke, Orpo has described what happened in Muhos as a “cold shower”. Hanna Halmeenpää, chair of SLL’s board, said she had been incredulous when she discovered Google’s law breaking. “At first I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I have never heard that any company has done anything like this in Finland.” She said the system depended a lot on trust, which she believes Google took advantage of. “They bought the vast land area and they just started to cut it, just like that,” she said. “It’s pure arrogance and it’s amazing.” The speed of developments had shocked the country, she said. “Many people are just watching the news and asking each other: ‘What’s happening now? What can we do about it? And do we have to take all these datacentre projects in Finland?’” Jussi Kangasharju, head of computer science at the University of Helsinki, said that while datacentres brought a limited number of jobs, potentially boosting the local economy, the benefits on a national level were minimal. “Really, for Finland, there are no benefits,” he said. “They are international companies serving international customers. Very little corporate taxes go to Finland. Datacentres ultimately have very little benefit for others except the datacentre operator.” With legislation still playing catchup, there is a rush to get projects under way as fast as possible. Some are calling for a centralised body to coordinate datacentre projects, rather than leaving so much of the decision-making down to municipalities that are likely to prioritise the immediate needs of the local area. In Muhos and Otanmäki, there are people who support the projects, along with the jobs and land taxes they will bring into the local area. But many believe they have been sold short by municipalities. Antti Jakonen, who lives in Muhos, said that, although the trees felled represented a small fraction of Finland’s overall forests, he objected to the manner in which it had been carried out. “It has been done in the wrong way. American style. No sense. No sense at all,” he said. The former entrepreneur and fisher wants Google to compensate by helping to restore the local salmon population destroyed decades ago by hydropower. In Otanmäki, the disruption to nature and to residents’ daily lives is being vividly felt. When the trees were felled, the wolves who had lived there came to the village, said Anni Ranta, 53, whose family has lived there for generations. A former mining village, the area is known for its rare earth elements. Ranta’s family live at the centre of the village next to a triangular church spire and a former bar that has been empty for years. The peaceful forest used to extend for miles from the village. Now the sound of building work next to the clearcut Google site reverberates. “We had wolves coming into the village because all the wild animals moved out of the forest,” said Ranta. “They fled. What worries me about the datacentres is also the noise because this is hardrock soil. Even when we are standing here talking,” she added, stamping her feet, “it’s like a drum.” Such is her strength of feeling against the arrival of Google that she is thinking of moving out. She also fears the datacentre could make the village a target for Russia, with whom Finland shares a long border. “I don’t want them here,” she said of Google. “I don’t want them in Finland at all. I don’t like the whole idea of AI and the world changing and the way it’s changing. It’s going too fast, too soon.” Her father, Pentti Korhonen, a retired wilderness guide, said that since the forest was destroyed, the water in the stream has turned brown. “There is no need at all for datacentres in Finland. No need for datacentres at all,” he said. Vesa Hyyryläinen, chair of the local SLL district, said three-toed woodpeckers nesting in the forest had been pushed out. “All of us nature conservationists are very worried about our Finnish political situation and politics,” said the biologist and osprey expert. “I wonder why we have to sacrifice so much of our nature. They give everything away too easily.” He said, however, that he understood why authorities were trying to bring in new sources of investment and jobs, given the region’s ageing population. “Young people go to Helsinki and Berlin and Paris,” he said. “There are so few people. We have to sacrifice.” Veli-Matti Uski, director general of the ministry of environment, said the government was “monitoring the general development of the [datacentre] sector, [and the] application of its legislation, and is prepared to propose legislative amendments as necessary”. Google said it was working to protect water quality at the Muhos site, and that it planned to plant trees across 130 hectares there. Conservationists say that figure is too low to have any real impact in comparison to the damage done by the tree felling. A spokesperson said: “We have operated in Finland for 15 years and have always worked to meet or exceed zoning, environmental, health and safety requirements. “After receiving the LVV letters on 6 October, we stopped preparatory works at Muhos and Kajaani [where the Otanmäki site is located] and have submitted a formal response to LVV confirming this. “We will fully comply with LVV’s requests in this matter. We look forward to maintaining an active, open dialogue with all authorities to strengthen our partnership with Finland and local organisations.” This article originally appeared on The Guardian at https://uk.news.yahoo.com/pure-arrogance-anger-finland-google-112223961.html Canadian airlines are cutting flight routes amid weakening demand for U.S. travel Weakening demand for U.S. travel is prompting Canadian airlines to cut flights south of the border, with Air Canada canceling five routes for 2027. Data from aviation data and analytics company Cirium shows that the airline, Canada’s flag carrier and the largest in the country by fleet size and passenger volume, has cut its flights from Montréal to Seattle, Toronto to Boston and Charleston, and Vancouver to Nashville and Raleigh-Durham. The service between Toronto and Charleston, which the company started in March 2024, was the only Air Canada flight bringing Canadian snowbirds to South Carolina, one of the most popular U.S. states for their neighbors’ winter escapes. re> These are the routes to U.S. destinations canceled by Air Canada next year:
Other Canadian Airlines Have Already Withdrawn from the US MarketAs Canadian travel to the U.S. remains under pressure from the simmering political tension between the Trump administration and the Canadian government and from rising fuel prices, other companies have already drastically reduced services to the United States. Westjet, Canada’s second-largest airline, has cut 10 U.S. routes this year, according to Cirium data cited by SimpleFlying. Flights from Edmonton International Airport were the most affected, with services to Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco halted this year. Flights between Edmonton and Nashville and Chicago were only operative for one season. re> The company also cut three routes between Vancouver International Airport and Boston, Nashville and Lihue, Hawaii, leaving the Canadian city without direct service to the latter. WestJet also cut its nonstop service between Toronto Pearson and Los Angeles in April, and removed the service from Winnipeg to Nashville in May. Montréal-headquartered airline Air Transat ended all its flights to the U.S. by mid-June, which had been reduced by then to two destinations: Florida’s Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. Flights from Montréal to Orlando ended on May 3, while flights from Quebec City and Montréal to Fort Lauderdale ended between May and June. Newsweek contacted WestJet and Air Transat for comment by email on Thursday morning.Why Are Canadian Airlines Cancelling Routes?The number of Canadians traveling to the U.S. has plummeted since President Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Even though travel rebounded slightly last year, new figures show that the decline has not stopped. According to the latest data by the Canadian government’s statistics agency, the number of Canadian cross-border trips last month was down by 29 percent compared with two years ago in 2024, with car border crossings down by 31 percent and air travel down by 19 percent. The pullback by Canadian travelers appears to reflect a combination of political backlash and weaker purchasing power, while decisions by airlines to cut back on services would appear to be straightforward common sense for carriers that want to stay afloat while facing dwindling demand. Trump’s calls for Canada to become the “51st state” have angered many Canadians who had already turned sour on his administration after the imposition of sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods, pushing many to avoid traveling south of the border. re> It is also a decision that makes financial sense to many travelers, as a weak Canadian dollar has been making U.S. holidays more expensive. The Canadian dollar has weakened throughout 2026: it began the year at about $0.729 and had fallen to around $0.71 by Thursday. With fewer travelers choosing American destinations, airlines have responded by cutting capacity. Aviation intelligence provider OAG reported that Canadian carriers cut U.S.-bound capacity by nearly 10 percent in the first quarter of 2026, equivalent to about 450,000 seats, as demand moved away from traditional American sun destinations. Instead, Canadian airlines are shifting services to European and Caribbean destinations, which have seen a rise in demand. In the first quarter of the year, according to OAG, capacity from Canada to Costa Rica rose 15 percent and to Mexico by 5 percent, an increase which likely reflects “a shift in leisure travel demand from traditional U.S. sun destinations,” the company wrote.

Websites worldwide go dark after AI discovers major security flaws re> Governments and companies around the world shut down websites as they raced Thursday to protect themselves from hacks after artificial intelligence uncovered critical flaws in a widely used programming language called PHP. PHP helps run about 70 percent of the world's websites -- from online stores and news outlets to government services -- according to Wiz Research, one of the cybersecurity firms that found the two flaws. Created in the early 1990s, PHP originally stood for "personal home page" but now means "hypertext preprocessor" and sits underneath popular web design platforms. "These findings rank among the most severe vulnerabilities discovered in PHP, and arguably in software history," a Wiz blog post said. Increasingly powerful AI models can spot weak points in back-end computer code that have gone unnoticed by humans for years. That has heightened cybersecurity fears, with the number of software vulnerabilities discovered worldwide in 2026 on track to roughly double last year's record total. PHP programmers released a fix Wednesday, and the US National Security Agency told organizations to patch their sites immediately or pull vulnerable systems offline -- a call echoed by authorities from Japan to the European Union. A platform affiliated with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology urged the same, warning of "two critical remote code execution vulnerabilities with severe impact" in PHP. Only sites that run PHP on their own servers are exposed. Many large platforms are built on other programming languages or use operators that could install the fix quickly and were able to stay online. Rahat Masood, senior lecturer in cybersecurity at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, described the discovery as "quite devastating." It could allow "attackers to get into your servers without any authorisation, without any username or password," she told AFP. "Once they are in the servers, they can do anything they want" -- from stealing sensitive information to modifying website content -- she added, urging institutions to "take it seriously." - 'New phase' - Government agency sites in countries from Australia to Finland and the Netherlands were among those that went dark, while services from insurance firms, transport operators and media outlets were under emergency maintenance. Popular apps, including a Pokemon sleep tracker, were also temporarily taken offline while the fix was implemented, while the foundation that runs Wikipedia warned users they could see outages while it addressed the flaws. "If you run PHP, it is imperative that you update now," the PHP Foundation, which funds developers working on the language, said in a blog post. Volker Dusch, a security engineer at the foundation, told the Wall Street Journal it was the most serious problem PHP had faced in more than a decade, comparing it to Heartbleed, a 2014 flaw that set off a worldwide rush to patch. Security firm Calif found the flaws in August using OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol model, as part of an OpenAI-funded audit of PHP's code. OpenAI said the discovery "marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact." Wiz, which is owned by Google, said it found them independently weeks later with help from AI models including Google's Gemini 4 Argon and GPT-5.6 Sol. The flaws had been reported privately to PHP's developers and kept confidential while a fix was prepared. - AI fuels urgency - Details leaked online Tuesday, a day before the planned release of the fix -- prompting the rush to take sites offline before hackers could exploit them. Steve Kerrison, senior lecturer in cybersecurity at the Singapore campus of James Cook University, told AFP that the fear of hackers using AI to quickly and easily exploit the PHP vulnerabilities had fuelled urgency to react. So far there has been little evidence of damaging attacks, although data breaches could lead to a wave of so-called "phishing" attacks, where hackers use personal details to steal passwords, down the line. Larger institutions, from government agencies to news outlets, should be able to fix their websites relatively fast, Kerrison said -- but others may be left vulnerable. "There are sites, systems and people out there who will have no idea about this and still won't for days, weeks and months," Kerrison warned. That may include user-run blogs that could be weaponised to spread computer viruses, spam people or distribute malicious content, he said. arp-kaf/fox This article originally appeared on AFP at https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/websites-dark-worldwide-ai-exposes-171251949.html A single antimatter particle could help explain why the universe exists You can’t hold antimatter in your hand or even in a regular laboratory apparatus. As soon as antimatter meets matter, the two tend to annihilate each other. This makes studying antimatter tricky. But now physicists have managed to trap a single subatomic particle of the stuff for months at a time in a way that allows them to study its quantum states. Further investigations using the trap might reveal the secret of why the world around us is made of matter and not antimatter, when things could have presumably gone either way. Every normal particle of matter has an antimatter counterpart with equal mass but opposite charge. To build their trap, physicists started with atoms of sodium 22, a radioactive isotope with a half-life of about two and a half years. When one of these atoms decays, it emits a positron—the antimatter counterpart of the electron. Sign up for Today in Science, a free daily newsletter from Scientific American and join a community of science-loving readers. “The big challenge is to persuade these positrons to slow down and then capture them,” says Gerald Gabrielse, a physicist at Northwestern University, who oversaw the project. The team reported its achievement on Wednesday in Physical Review Letters. re> The first step is to send the positrons through the crystal lattice of a sliver of cold tungsten. As the particles go pinballing through the material, they slow down and lose energy. “Every time they bang into something, there’s a chance of annihilation, but it doesn’t always happen,” Gabrielse says. “If they make it to the end, they get popped out.” Next, the physicists steer the positrons along a channel using electromagnetic fields. Eventually the particles end up in a vacuum, just three tenths of a degree Celsius above absolute zero, trapped by an electric field on top and bottom and a magnetic field on the sides. “If you want to hold on to antimatter, you have to hold it in a container without walls,” Gabrielse says. This method allowed the researchers to isolate and study a solitary, lone positron for a month—and could let them do so indefinitely. The researchers intend to use their trap to make precise measurements of the positron’s magnetic moment—basically the strength and orientation of its magnetic field. To do this, they must determine two things: the energy needed to flip the direction of the positron’s spin and the energy needed to make it jump from its ground state to its first excited state. Using a similar trap setup, Gabrielse and his team have already measured the magnetic moment of an electron to a precision of one part in 10 trillion. Taking the equivalent measurement for a positron will allow them to make a crucial comparison. “We’re looking to see if they have an exactly opposite magnetic moment,” Gabrielse says. That’s the prediction of the Standard Model of particle physics. If the two have different values, however, this could help explain why our universe is made of matter instead of antimatter. Just after the Big Bang, scientists think there were roughly equal amounts of the two. Most of the matter and antimatter must have annihilated, but a small excess of matter was somehow left over to seed the stars and planets we see. The magnetic moment measurement is just one of many realms where physicists are seeking differences between matter and antimatter to account for this profound discrepancy. “Turn every particle to its antiparticle, look at physics through a mirror (flipping left and right) and press the ‘rewind button’ to reverse the flow of time,” says Roni Harnik, a theoretical physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., who was not involved in the project. “Our most basic theories say that physics stays the same.” If it turns out things are different—that the positron, for instance, has a different magnetic moment than the electron—then we’d have a hint about how matter won out. “This is an exciting development,” Harnik says, “that will enable us to test a basic symmetry.” This article originally appeared on Scientific American at https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/physicists-trap-single-antimatter-particle-150000058.html JD Vance told Republicans to stop criticizing Ramaswamy's ad. Some aren't listening. re> Some leading Ohio Republicans began distancing themselves from a controversial new ad from their gubernatorial nominee, Vivek Ramaswamy, even as the president and vice president defended it. Vice President JD Vance warned Republicans on Wednesday not to break ranks over the commercial, telling them to “stop whining” about it. And President Donald Trump, who endorsed Ramaswamy early in the Ohio primary, told reporters at the White House he “didn’t know anything about it” but heard “the mother went very rogue on the daughter.” “It’s a very unusual situation,” Trump said. The viral ad has drawn bipartisan criticism for featuring the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton. In it, Acton’s mother called her daughter a liar and urged voters not to support her. Acton has said she has not seen her mother since she was about 12 years old, when she says the man her mother married sexually abused her. He faced criminal charges and was “declared a fugitive,” Acton said. “I would not have run that ad,” Sen. Jon Husted, a key Ohio Republican who is in one of the country’s most competitive Senate races, said in a statement to the Associated Press published shortly after appearing at a Cincinnati rally with Vance and Ramaswamy. Another top Ohio Republican, Secretary of State Frank LaRose, told the ABC affiliate in Columbus that he “probably wouldn’t run an ad like that.” LaRose is running for state auditor. At least one other GOP candidate in Ohio personally asked Ramaswamy not to air the controversial ad, a GOP operative told CNN. For months, Ramaswamy has largely run behind other candidates in the state in polling, and now there is a sense he could further jeopardize the GOP’s brand with a last-minute stunt to drum up base support, the source said. “Republicans in the state probably couldn’t be more pissed at him,” the operative told CNN. But another GOP operative downplayed the impact Ramaswamy could have, arguing that because he was running behind other candidates already, some of the concerns about him may already be baked in among GOP voters. What Vance saidOn Wednesday morning, Vance, a former Ohio senator, instructed his fellow Republicans to set aside any reservations about the ad. “Politics is a tough business, and my message to my fellow elected Republicans is if you actually believe in the things you say you believe in, stop whining about an advertisement and go win the race in 13 days,” Vance said at a news conference in Cincinnati. unknown content item - The initial video – which was shared widely on social media, including by the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. – has been roiling the gubernatorial race since it first showed up on social media, bringing the abuse Acton said she suffered at the hands of her stepfather to the forefront. Until Wednesday afternoon, the GOP criticism of the ad was mainly coming from national figures like Nikki Haley, who ran against Ramaswamy for president in 2024. But the comments by Husted and LaRose began to show cracks in the relative quiet among Ohio Republicans. Asked about the ad at the news conference, Vance declined to weigh in on its appropriateness but said he was “a little bit disgusted” that some Republicans appeared more outraged about it than they are about Democrats and their policies. Speaking later at a rally in Cincinnati that Ramaswamy attended, Vance brought up the ad on his own. He argued it was a justified response because Democrats have used “every dirty trick in the political book” against Ramaswamy. “Now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because guess what? Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar,” Vance said. Ryan Smith, the former GOP speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, pushed back against Vance’s criticism of fellow Republicans responding to the ad. “Stop normalizing bad behavior and embarrassing the party,” Smith wrote on X. “Ohio deserves better than this!” Ramaswamy’s campaign leaned into the controversy over the ad Tuesday night, announcing it would spend $4 million to run the spot. “She’s lied her entire life,” Donna Arthur says in the minute-long spot. “My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that.” The video was first published widely on Monday night by an Ohio political blogger, D.J. Byrnes, who is known as “The Rooster.” Byrnes told CNN he obtained the video from a voter who saw it as part of a poll and recorded it. On Tuesday morning, Acton’s campaign released a statement from her brother, Philip Stearns, denouncing the video and linking it to Ramaswamy. “It’s not surprising that Vivek Ramaswamy has stooped to such a despicable low as to attempt to turn the sexual abuse Amy endured at twelve years old from our birth mother’s husband into a political talking point,” Stearns said. “After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died.” Later Tuesday, Acton’s campaign released a new ad featuring Stearns making similar points. “Shame on Vivek,” he says in the spot. unknown content item -Ad did not initially have political disclaimerRamaswamy’s campaign initially did not confirm their involvement in the ad Tuesday, saying only that Ohioans “deserve to know” what Acton’s mother says about her daughter. But later in the day, Ramaswamy confirmed, “It is an ad from our campaign.” The incendiary spot will run on TV and streaming platforms, according to a spokesperson for the Ramaswamy campaign, Connie Luck. Axios first reported that news. re> When it first circulated, the video did not have the standard disclaimer that political ads carry saying who paid for or authorized them, nor did it show up Tuesday morning as a paid ad in the race on AdImpact, the political ad-tracking service. And the first Ramaswamy campaign statement from Luck did not address whether it was responsible for the video. It suggested voters should consider the message from Acton’s mother and repeated her attack, asserting that “we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor.” The statement went on to argue that people who know Acton well — including “her own mother” — “are clearly warning Ohioans not to vote for her.” “Ohioans deserve to know that,” Luck said. An official with V-PAC, the main super PAC backing Ramaswamy, said it did not make the video. CNN has attempted to contact Arthur for more information about how the video came together. Ramaswamy was heckled at a campaign event Tuesday evening by a person appearing to cite the viral video. Within seconds of Ramaswamy taking the stage at a Columbus-area town hall, an audience member rose up and began yelling at him, making a reference to “Amy Acton’s mother” and the abuse that the candidate says she suffered from her mother’s husband at a young age. “Sir, if you want to be patient and you want to ask a question at the end, you’re free to do that,” Ramaswamy said as the man was escorted out. “Thank you for your contribution today.” Speaking with reporters after the event, Ramaswamy took responsibility for the ad and reiterated that voters should take into account what people who know Acton “well” are saying about her. He said he has never met the mother and that she was “not compensated” for the ad. unknown content item - Acton herself weighed in during an interview with WOSU Public Media. “It’s awful to see her this way, and it’s even more incredible to see that my opponent (Ramaswamy) has taken advantage of someone who’s clearly not well, who is older, and this is totally in line with who he is,” Acton said. Her criticism joined the growing chorus. Haley, Ramaswamy’s 2024 primary rival, said the ad was the latest evidence that Ramaswamy is “a bad guy.” “It’s a shame he continues to get away with it,” she wrote on X. Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain, said on X that the ad was “dastardly” and “never should have been created.” Sherrod Brown, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Ohio, said on X that the video was “disgusting” and that Husted should condemn it. The Democratic Governors Association said in a statement that the video was part of a “relentless smear campaign” that Ramaswamy has waged against Acton. Acton and Ramaswamy are locked in one of the most competitive governor’s races in the country, vying to replace term-limited Republican Mike DeWine. The ads in the race have been especially nasty, fueling a controversial decision by Acton to decline to debate Ramaswamy. Republican candidates in the state are preparing for a statewide bus tour starting Friday. DeWine’s office also has not commented on the ad. He defended Acton earlier in the campaign against criticism about Acton’s work as state public health director during the Covid-19 pandemic. A member of DeWine’s Cabinet, Lydia Mihalik, said Tuesday on X that the ad crossed a line. “We can disagree on plenty of things without losing our sense of decency,” said Mihalik, director of the state’s Department of Development. “I don’t have to agree with Amy Acton’s politics to believe that exploiting someone’s childhood trauma is wrong.” Nick Owens, a Republican activist in Ohio, told CNN the ad is “frankly despicable” and would help Acton raise “a lot of money.” Owens, who calls himself a lifelong Republican, is a former county GOP chair in the state who’s been organizing opposition to data centers. Acton, the former Ohio public health director, has spoken before about her estrangement from her mother and hardscrabble childhood. In a 2019 interview with the Youngstown Vindicator, she said her mother married a man when she was between ages 9 and 12 who abused her and who faced criminal charges. The family was living in a tent at a campground outside Youngstown at the time. According to legal documents provided by the Acton campaign, Acton’s allegations against her stepfather emerged in July of 1978 when her father testified to police his daughter was sexually abused by her stepfather. A day later, her stepfather was arrested for rape. He pleaded not guilty but was indicted by a grand jury in September of that year. By October, prosecutors asked for a warrant for his arrest. In the early 1980s, one record shows authorities were still looking for him, but there is no record of any further action in the case. “I was lucky that it got bad enough, because it got me out of there,” Acton told the Vindicator. She said the last time she saw her mother was at the courthouse when she tried to give her a kiss and Acton rejected her. This story has been updated with additional information.

At least four people were killed in Ukraine and dozens of others were wounded, officials said, in the attacks that began only hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed “in principle” on Wednesday to resume three-way negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States. “Russia has not changed the way it wages this war, and it is taking no steps that would signal a genuine desire to end it,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after the latest large-scale barrage. Putin's consent came in talks in St. Petersburg with U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, who had spoken of a “new momentum” toward peace after meeting Tuesday with Zelenskyy in Norway. No date was set for the tripartite talks. Representatives of the three countries held rounds of “technical” talks in the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland in January and February, seeking to lay the groundwork for detailed negotiations. But they reported little progress beyond exchanges of prisoners of war. Russia and Ukraine remain far apart in their terms for stopping the fighting despite U.S. efforts. Zelenskyy says only a meeting of leaders can end the deadlock. Russia launches 170 strikes in just over a week at Ukraine's power gridRussia’s aerial attacks hit 12 regions of Ukraine overnight, killing at least four people and wounding scores of others, including five children, Zelenskyy said on social media Thursday. Two women aged 50 and 60 were killed and dozens of others wounded in a Russian strike on a market in Lozova, in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region, said Oleh Syniehubov, head of the regional military administration. Another person was killed in other strikes on Kharkiv, the State Emergency Service said. The Ukrainian capital endured a noisy night as 21 ballistic missiles came in three waves, Zelenskyy said, smashing apartment buildings, energy facilities, a railway station and the Kyiv subway system, shopping malls and businesses. One person was killed in Kyiv. The Russian attack on Kyiv included three ballistic missiles carrying cluster munitions — bombs that open in the air and release scores of smaller bomblets, Zelenskyy said. Ukrainians are bracing for the bitterly cold months ahead as the recent escalation in Russian attacks targets the power grid to deny civilians heat, light and running water. Ukraine says Russia is stockpiling ballistic missiles for an annual campaign Ukrainians describe as “ weaponizing winter. ” Since Oct. 11, Russia has launched 170 strikes on Ukraine's critical energy facilities, Zelenskyy said.Putin mulls attending G20 in Miami, Kremlin saysThe Ukrainian leader has pleaded with Washington to supply more Patriot air defense ammunition to stop the ballistic missiles, and to heap more sanctions on Russia to pressure Moscow to pursue peace. Instead, Trump has agreed with Putin to import diesel from Russia and waived heavy sanctions on Moscow, while U.S. officials say Patriot ammunition is in short supply. “Russia is clearly taking advantage of the slowdown in air defense supplies from our partners,” Zelenskyy said. “It is equally clear that when some partners ease the pressure on Russia, it only reinforces Putin’s belief that his goals are within reach.” Western analysts say Putin wants to cut out Europe and Kyiv and negotiate Ukraine’s future directly with Washington. The Trump administration has also disparaged Europe. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Thursday that Putin had received an invitation to attend the G20 summit in Miami in December but hasn’t yet decided whether to go. “The American administration is doing a lot to help a peaceful settlement,” Peskov told reporters. “European capitals are doing nothing to promote a peaceful resolution, and they are doing a great deal to provoke the further escalation of fighting."Ukrainians chide Trump envoy for flattering PutinWitkoff, the Trump envoy who met with Putin in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, was harshly criticized in Ukraine and in the U.S. for praising the Russian leader as a “humanitarian” for ordering the release of a retired American teacher who was imprisoned on charges of fighting as a mercenary in Ukraine. Assassination attempts against Putin's foes — routinely denied by the Kremlin — have been common during his decades in power. And as the five-year anniversary of Russia’s all-out invasion of its neighbor approaches, aerial strikes have killed thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The latest “brutal” Russian attacks demonstrate “what Russian ‘humanism’ truly sounds like,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on social media. “Appeasement, servility, and flattery will not stop this war. Only strength will.”Russia says it intercepted more than 800 Ukrainian dronesRussia’s Defense Ministry said that air defenses overnight downed 808 Ukrainian drones, with two people reported wounded. Moscow’s Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that 630 of the drones were fired toward the Russian capital between late Wednesday and early Thursday. Moscow airports temporarily restricted air traffic overnight. The Russian military hit the facilities involved in making and storing drones and cruise missiles and transport infrastructure in Kyiv in overnight strikes, the Defense Ministry said. Infrastructure in the southern port of Odesa and vessels used for the Ukrainian armed forces were also hit, it said. In other developments, the bodies of 252 people, said by Russia to be Ukrainian soldiers, were returned to Ukraine in an exchange, Ukraine’s Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War said Thursday. Russia received 25 bodies of Russian soldiers, Russian lawmaker Shamsail Saraliyev, a member of a parliamentary coordination group overseeing the exchanges, told the RBC news outlet. ___ Follow the AP’s coverage of the war in Ukraine at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine This article originally appeared on Associated Press at https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/russia-pounds-ukraines-capital-kyiv-071241165.htmlRep. Ilhan Omar says death threats are forcing her to move after federal raid re> Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said she will have to move out of her apartment in Washington, D.C., because of threats she received after federal agents executed a search warrant at her residence last week as part of an immigration fraud probe. “Obviously, I can’t continue to live there … because our address has been public and with the death threats that I deal with, it’s no longer going to be feasible to be in that house and have my kids visiting off and on, having people track them,” she told MS NOW’s Chris Hayes in a Wednesday interview. The congresswoman, who also has a residence in her home state of Minnesota, told Hayes she woke up at 6 a.m. on Oct. 12 to learn federal agents had “surrounded her house" in D.C. She said the agents provided her a search warrant before going “room by room” and seizing 17 items, including her phone and other electronics. President Trump and his administration have claimed Omar’s father lied about her age when she obtained U.S. citizenship in 2000 after their family emigrated from Somalia. The Democratic lawmaker has denied these allegations and accused the Trump administration of waging a “campaign of political intimidation” against her in a social media post following the raid. “If you had so confidently said I’ve committed a crime, why are you not saying in the beginning … we’re going to subpoena people, we’re going to do a grand jury, we’re going to try to find evidence that would lead to an indictment? It’s just, it’s all bizarre,” Omar said in the Wednesday interview. Last week, The Washington Post reported federal officials under the first Trump administration reviewed Omar’s immigration records in 2019 but did not find evidence of fraud. The president has for years attacked Omar in social media posts and speeches for her political views and background. During comments to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump slammed Omar as a “sick, very dishonest person … who hates our country.” “I hope they treat her fairly, but she’s a very dishonest person,” he added. The Minnesota progressive said she has received an outpouring of support from her Democratic colleagues. She also responded to former President Obama’s statement condemning the Trump administration’s investigation into her as “appalling.” “I think a lot of the conspiracy world that I find myself in is the conspiracy world that was created around him, and so while some people might feel reserved in some of the information that they hear from these people, I think he is acutely capable of seeing what this is,” she said. Omar told MS NOW on Wednesday she feels “confident” she has done nothing wrong. “I am a person of enormous faith,” she said. “And I know that … if I continue to live my truth, if I continue to fight for the right things, if I continue to stand up to bullies and people who are carrying out ungodly corruption, I’m going to be OK.” Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Thiel's remarks, delivered on Oct. 12 at a private event, are his most explicit statements to be revealed publicly about the war with Iran and come less than two weeks before the midterm elections in which Trump's party is grasping to maintain power in Congress. The audio of Thiel's comments was obtained by Decoded by POLITICO from a lecture earlier this month. “I’m skeptical of [the war], I think we should not have done it," Thiel said. "There were a lot of mistakes that were made.” Thiel added, “Maybe we don’t have the hard power. Maybe we’re going to lose the soft power war.” In the full lecture, Thiel made clear his strong opposition to neoconservatives and Middle East wars. Despite his criticism of the Iran war, Thiel highlighted his continued support of Trump and suggested he wanted to protect the president. Still, Thiel's break over the war represents one of the most important examples to date of a fierce Trump ally sharing deep concerns about the conflict. The comments were part of Thiel's lecture series in Nashville, which Decoded has documented since their start this fall. In the latest lecture, Thiel issued extensive warnings about what he described as the unchecked power of the International Criminal Court, drawing on comments from Bush-era figures Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. "I read the Cheney family's Trump derangement syndrome as an attempt to buy favor with the [International Criminal Court] and avoid prosecution. Probably too late,” Thiel said. “And I have come to suspect that the threat of an ICC arrest warrant is the sword of Damocles hanging over the Trump administration as it tries to persecute this war in Iran." Thiel also discusses meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in early 2024, after the Oct. 7 attack, where he said he asked the leader about his plans in Gaza. Thiel said Netanyahu told him, “I can’t just Dresdenize it,” referring to the Allied bombing of the German city of Dresden during World War II that killed roughly 25,000 people. The first big tech investor to back Trump in 2016, and then have a high-profile speaking role at the Republican National Convention that year, Thiel was also the biggest financial backer of super PACs supporting Vice President JD Vance’s Senate campaign in 2022. POLITICO reported in March that Vance was “skeptical” of the U.S. striking Iran in the lead-up to the beginning of the war. Representatives for Thiel and the White House did not respond to requests for comment. Read more from Thiel’s latest lectures in Thursday’s edition of Decoded by POLITICO, including his sentiments toward Israel and predictions for the 2028 election.

Taiwan's transport ministry said 125 flights, mostly domestic, were canceled Thursday. In Japan, Japan Airlines, ANA and Skymark have canceled more than 100 flights through Sunday, disrupting travel for more than 11,000 passengers, Reuters reported. However, the interior ministry said no evacuations had been reported. Super Typhoon Champi was recorded as one of the strongest storms on Earth in 2026 on Wednesday, but weakened slightly on Thursday. The tropical cyclone tied April's Super Typhoon Sinlaku for the strongest 1-minute sustained winds of 2026, at 185 mph, which is equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane. The typhoon is still packing gusts of more than 227 kph (141 mph) near its center, according to Taiwan's Central Weather Administration (CWA). The Joint Typhoon Warning Center classifies a storm as a super typhoon when its 1-minute sustained winds reach at least 150 mph. That threshold falls within the Category 4 hurricane range. "A tropical cyclone is a generic term used by meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level circulation," according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The main difference between hurricanes and typhoons is geographic: Storms in the Northwest Pacific are called typhoons, while those in the North Atlantic and central and eastern North Pacific are called hurricanes. What is Champi's path?As of 11 a.m. Thursday, Champi was about 520 km (320 miles) southeast of Taiwan's southern tip. It is forecast to pass the northeast, then curve north toward China's coast and later into southern Japan, with its closest approach to Taiwan expected Friday. Its radius has widened to 320 km (199 miles), enough to reach most of the island. Forecasters said the effects could last nearly two days, with heavy rain likely to continue in the north and center after the storm moves away Saturday afternoon. The storm, which is barreling across the western Pacific Ocean, is expected to brush past the island's northeastern coast and gradually weaken as it approaches, passing northeastern Taiwan, turning north toward the Chinese coast and eventually moving into southern Japan, Reuters reported. The storm is forecast to make a slight turn toward the northwest and weaken through Thursday. re> What are the expected impacts?Champi is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to parts of Taiwan and eastern China through the weekend, according to AccuWeather senior meteorologist Jason Nicholls. Heavy rain is expected to affect Taiwan from Thursday night (Oct. 22) into Saturday (Oct. 24) and east-central China from Friday night (Oct. 23) through Sunday (Oct. 25). Rainfall is forecast to total up to 18 inches, with the heaviest rain expected in northeastern Taiwan. Experts expect the typhoon to impact the island for two days, and have issued mobile phone alerts warning of waves of more than 6 meters (20 feet) in coastal towns, while total rainfall of nearly one meter (3 feet) was expected in northern mountain areas, including the hills near the capital Taipei, Reuters reported. The heavy rain could cause flooding, mudslides, structural damage and transportation delays, according to AccuWeather. Strong winds from Champi, with wind gusts up to 120 mph, are expected to affect Taiwan and eastern China from Thursday night into Sunday. The winds could cause structural damage, prolonged power outages and transportation delays.

Horner reveals how Red Bull were warned about Norris, Russell, and PiastriReflecting on the early encounters with the drivers, Horner explained that Red Bull's simulator operator had been particularly impressed by their abilities, even suggesting they were outperforming some of the team's existing prospects. "I remember George Russell was paying us to go on our simulator, and as was Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, their dads were writing checks for them to run on the driver simulator that we had. The guy that was looking after it was coming up to me and saying, 'Christian, these kids are better than the juniors we've got at the moment.'" The feedback was significant enough for Horner to raise the matter with Helmut Marko, who oversaw Red Bull's driver development programme and played a central role in identifying young talent for the organisation: "I remember taking them to Helmut and going, 'I really think you should look at these guys.'" Nevertheless, the three drivers continued their careers outside the Red Bull system, eventually establishing themselves at rival Formula 1 teams, with Norris even going on to win the 2025 title after defeating Red Bull's Max Verstappen in the title battle. Looking back at the situation, Horner jokingly expressed his frustration at seeing the drivers achieve success elsewhere, delivering a typically blunt assessment of the missed opportunity: "Wankers. Look who that, turned out well for in the end." ">Red Bull had three F1 stars in their hands – and let all three slip awayChristian Horner has disclosed that Red Bull had the opportunity to evaluate George Russell, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri before any of them reached Formula 1, with all three drivers impressing during sessions on the team's simulator. However, despite their performances attracting attention within the organisation, none eventually became part of Red Bull's junior programme. F1 US Grand Prix: The Last Five Winners in Austin One name dominated four of the last five races at the Circuit of The Americas. Fernando Alonso beat Michael Schumacher to the world title in the Brazilian Grand Prix, as the seven-time champion retired from Formula 1. In truth, there was little doubt Alonso was going to clinch a second crown that day. Schumacher’s engine failure and retirement from the lead of the Suzuka race had turned a potential two-point lead into a 10-point deficit, meaning the Ferrari racer needed both to win and his rival not to score at Interlagos. That endeavour took a turn for the worse when Schumacher encountered a fuel pressure problem in Q3, leaving him 10th on the grid with Alonso fourth. “I don't know what we can do,” the German said after qualifying. “I don't know how the race will develop. It is hard to predict something, but I will try my best. It is much more difficult starting from 10th, but of course I will try.” “Let's not forget that in the past, Michael has managed to win races starting even further back on the grid,” Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn added. That statement was inaccurate – across the preceding 248 races, Schumacher had won from outside the top 10 just once – but the Ferrari driver showed exactly why Brawn made it. He jumped from 10th to seventh on the first lap, then passed former team-mate Rubens Barrichello and overtook Giancarlo Fisichella around the outside for fifth on lap eight – meaning he was already right behind his title rival – but the slightest of touches with the Renault caused a rear-left puncture. Michael Schumacher, Ferrarire> Schumacher found himself down in 20th, 69 seconds adrift of race-leading team-mate Felipe Massa, while his deficit to Alonso was exactly one minute. By lap 27, he had caught the back of the pack and successively overtook Tiago Monteiro, Robert Doornbos, Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica, while undercutting other opponents and benefitting from retirements, to find himself fifth before his second pitstop. Emerging back out in seventh, Schumacher passed Barrichello again and pressured Fisichella into a lock-up in Turn 1 to claim fifth on lap 63. Massa’s commanding home drive meant he was still 33 seconds up the road, but second-placed Alonso was just eight seconds away from the recovering Ferrari. Schumacher ran out of laps to claim a podium finish but still performed a clinical move on McLaren’s Kimi Raikkonen on the antepenultimate lap to take fourth position, as Alonso secured the championship.Fernando Alonso, Renault, Michael Schumacher, Ferrarire> “The race was chaotic, I think that is the right word,” Schumacher said. “We really had a superb car today, from the pure speed we could have lapped everybody. So I have to say it was the perfect end to the season in terms of car performance, but for me it didn't work out well.” Alonso hailed a “fantastic way” to conclude his time at Renault, which he described as “my family in Formula 1”, ahead of his long-awaited move to McLaren for 2007. “I will have these memories with them all my life, and to finish the last race like this is something that you never dream of, you never even try to dream of, because it's always more than what you expected,” he commented.Fernando Alonso, Renaultre> With that career path, the Spaniard dreamt of emulating Ayrton Senna. “To join McLaren and never to race with Ferrari reminds me a lot of Senna,” he told TV channel Telecinco. “He won three titles, and for me, to retire with three and achieve what he achieved would be the objective of my career.” Twenty years on, Alonso is still chasing that third crown in F1. Meanwhile, Schumacher looked back on his glittering career, one month after announcing his retirement in Monza. With Ferrari signing Raikkonen for 2007, Schumacher staying would have come at the expense of youngster Massa, so he decided against it. But was there any chance he could return in the future? “Formula 1 is constantly changing,” the 37-year-old responded. “The technology, the engines, the rules, the circuits. Once you're out of it, you're out.”Michael Schumacher, Ferrarire> In the end, the attraction of competition proved too strong and Schumacher returned for a three-year stint at Mercedes from 2010 to 2012, during which he struggled to match team-mate Nico Rosberg and scored just one podium finish while topping qualifying on his last Monaco outing. But in the Schumacher camp, one major feeling when he first retired also was relief. When asked by German network RTL what made her happy, his wife, Corinna Schumacher, replied: “That we're all going to go home healthy, that nothing happened in all these years and that we got away with just the one broken leg.” Unfortunately, while the seven-time world champion emerged unscathed from his racing career, he was severely injured in a skiing accident in December 2013. Now 55 years old, he has not been seen in public since then.

It is rare for a collector to acquire race-driven cars from the manufacturer directly. Historic McLaren F1 Cars On SaleAnd so, Hartley is more than excited to share the cars he has got for buyers to purchase. The collection goes back to the 1991 F1 season, when Gerhard Berger and Ayrton Senna drove the V12-powered MP4/6A to clinch the constructors’ title for McLaren Honda. Senna secured the F1 drivers’ championship as well, with Berger finishing fourth. It scored eight wins in all and 18 podiums. They have two of the MP4/6As to sell from the iconic Marlboro era of the Woking-based outfit. From the famous Vodafone era, they have one MP4/27A to sell that was driven by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button in the 2012 F1 season, when McLaren finished third in the constructors’ championship, with seven wins and 13 podium finishes.Modern McLaren F1 Cars Also On Offerre> From the era gone by, McLaren has put up the recent papaya era’s MCL35M for sale, which was driven by Lando Norris to the podium in the 2021 Monaco GP, when the F1 team ran another famous Gulf livery on the streets of Monte Carlo. The car also achieved a 1-2 finish with Daniel Ricciardo winning ahead of Norris at Monza in the Italian GP. It was the lone win and five podiums for the car. The final car on sale is the MCL37A, which is better known as the MCL60. It is from the 2023 F1 season and was driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to nine podiums, when McLaren finished fourth in the constructors’ championship. The car was famously used for Pirelli Tyre testing and also in the Testing Previous Cars program. But its biggest use was at the hands of Hollywood actor Brad Pitt, who took the MCL37A around the Circuit of the Americas for his maiden F1 test, which was part of the marketing activities undertaken to promote the ‘F1: Movie’.What Does the Collector Has to Say About the F1 Cars“When we handled the sales of both the Ecclestone Grand Prix Collection and the Ojjeh Collection, there was significant interest in acquiring individual cars, but ultimately both collections were sold in their entirety to single buyers,” said Hartley. “There is of course every possibility that the same could happen here. However, these five cars will be offered individually, and there is no time pressure whatsoever. Our priority, and McLaren’s, is to find the right homes for them.” ">McLaren Is Selling Five F1 Cars—Including One Brad Pitt Drove at COTAMcLaren Racing has appointed Tom Hartley Jnr for the sale of five F1 cars from the Heritage Collection.

So we created this start-up company, Red Bull Powertrains, with the same philosophy of attracting the talent, giving people a chance, giving people the opportunity, and then empowering them and encouraging them to push the boundaries. “I've been super proud to see how that engine has developed and delivered this year.” Errol Barnett and Christian Hornerre> Horner’s contribution was acknowledged by the brand itself, as he received the aforementioned phone call from its leaders. “It was an appreciated gesture, seeing that engine and knowing what went into it, you know, the sweat and tears along the way,” the Briton continued. “For all the men and women involved, it was an incredible, incredible achievement. And their 16th attempt to win a grand prix, which is very hard at the best of times. “I was very grateful to both the shareholders who reached out, and [Red Bull CEO] Oliver Mintzlaff who reached out to thank me as well. It was quite a different call than I had from him 15 months earlier.” Horner is referring to the phone call that led to his dismissal, as his position had become increasingly precarious following Red Bull cofounder Dietrich Mateschitz’s death.Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing Team Principal and Dietrich Mateschitz, CEO and Founder of Red Bullre> Horner did not have the Verstappen camp on his side and was losing the support of the Yoovidhya family – Chalerm Yoovidhya is a majority owner of the company – but still describes the news as “pretty abrupt and quite brutal”. “I felt that things were changing,” he added. “Nothing stays the same forever, and after the founder, Dietrich Mateschitz, sadly passed at the end of ‘22, it was always going to be the case that the company was going to evolve and was going to change. “Dietrich, he was Red Bull, he was the power behind it, he made all the big decisions. And suddenly, obviously, trying to replace somebody like that is impossible. “Inevitably, as the group evolved and took on that challenge, it was just different. There was a drive to bring more control back into the head office, and that sat differently from the autonomy that we'd enjoyed at Red Bull Racing and in Milton Keynes. “It was a different path that essentially what we were on, and you could feel that that was changing. It wasn't that it was right or wrong, it was just different.

">Red Bull called Christian Horner to thank him for F1 engine project after maiden winFormer team boss’s contribution to Red Bull’s current success has been acknowledged Lewis Hamilton held a “secret meeting” with Red Bull in 2012 prior to joining Mercedes, claims Christian Horner in his new book. Hamilton, who won his only McLaren world drivers’ championship in 2008, was eyeing a move away from the team in 2012 and eventually joined Mercedes, where he won an astonishing six titles across 12 years with the Silver Arrows. However, in his new memoir Drive, Horner has revealed that Hamilton met him and designer Adrian Newey for a meeting to discuss joining Red Bull – who were in the midst of their first reign of dominance with Sebastian Vettel’s four consecutive championships. “When a secret meeting was then called, with Lewis, at Adrian’s house near Ascot, my gut instinct was confirmed,” Horner wrote. “He was looking to leave McLaren, and we were his preferred destination. ‘What will it take to join you guys?’ he said, as we sat down.” Horner then described Red Bull’s motorsport adviser Helmut Marko's apprehension, despite the “tantalising prospect” of Hamilton joining the team. “Lewis’s arrival would likely impact Sebastian, his [Marko’s] protege, and he was clearly feeling apprehensive. Intrigued, I tested the waters anyway.” re> However, Horner went on to write that the “stumbling block was money” due to the “staggering sums” involved. He added: “Red Bull would have to spend a fortune. Despite the undeniable marketing upside, I didn’t pursue the idea with any real forcefulness. “But the Lewis deal was going to appeal to someone.” As such, after an initial approach and pitch from three-time F1 world champion Niki Lauda, Hamilton opted for a move to Mercedes. He went on to win six drivers’ championships – the most any driver has won for just one team – before joining Ferrari in 2025. Mercedes dominated the hybrid era, which started in 2014, before Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won four titles in a row from 2021 to 2024.

Just 11 will be made, in celebration of the driver's race number. Aptly named the Escalade-V Checo Perez Edition, the SUV is now on sale in dealers throughout Mexico with a purchase rice of 4,099,000 pesos - or around $222,500. This is roughly 250,000 pesos more than the standard version currently for sale in the country. So what do you get apart from an F1 driver's name scribbled somewhere on the bodywork? As you would expect, the changes are mostly cosmetic, with the Escalade and V-Series badges finished in black, plus a monochrome Cadillac logo mirroring the colours of the MAC-26 F1 car. The grille and door handles are illuminated, and lifting the bonnet will reveal a carbon fibre engine cover. Wheels are 24-inch Satin Graphite units. The interior also gets a minor makeover, with sports pedals and trim coloured in the same monochrome theme as the team. Two numbered plaques on the B-pillar and centre console tell you which of the 11 you have purchased, and Perez's signature sat next to the number reminds you why you made the purchase in the first place. From a performance point of view, nothing changes at all. The 6.2-litre V8 still comes supercharged to the tune of 682hp and 653lb-ft of torque, which is sent through a 10-speed automatic gearbox to all four wheels. 60mph comes and goes in 4.4 seconds - not quite as fast as an F1 car, but plenty for road use. The launch comes ahead of Perez’s home race, the Mexico City Grand Prix, which follows this weekend’s round in Austin. It will be his 300th grand prix start. But the 36-year-old has hinted that the end of his F1 career is getting closer. Speaking to Mexican broadcaster Televisa this week, he said Cadillac’s project “requires more time than I initially thought”. “I think giving a specific number [of years] is difficult, but it won’t be much longer,” Perez said. “What really holds me back [from continuing] is my kids.” He added: “I want to finish my time in Formula 1 on a high note, and all I can say is that we will know when [I retire] soon.” To read more Motorsport.com articles visit our website. ">Cadillac unveils $222,500 Sergio Perez special-edition ahead of 300th F1 start Cadillac has unveiled an exclusive Sergio Perez edition of its 682hp Escalade-V ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix Cadillac should replace Valtteri Bottas with Esteban Ocon, arguing that the Frenchman would be a better option for the American team. The former F1 driver made his position clear while discussing Cadillac's first season in the championship, although he stressed that his criticism of Bottas was strictly related to his performances on track. Bottas returned to Formula 1 with Cadillac in 2026 after spending a year without a race seat, joining fellow comeback driver Sergio Perez. Both arrived with considerable experience, but the American outfit has struggled to compete with the established teams during its debut campaign. Schumacher wants Cadillac to replace Bottas with OconSpeaking on the Backstage Boxengasse podcast, Schumacher identified Haas driver Esteban Ocon as the man he would like to see Cadillac bring into its line-up: "I would definitely take Ocon immediately." The German was careful to distinguish his opinion of Bottas as a driver from his feelings towards him personally. He described the Finn as "totally likeable" and stressed that his comments should "please not be taken personally". Nevertheless, Schumacher believes Cadillac would be better served by making a change. "But from a purely sporting point of view," he explained, before suggesting that Bottas should "get on your bike and enjoy your life". re> Photo: Race Pictures The remark also brought to mind Bottas's recent cycling trip from Malaysia to Singapore, which he documented on social media. Cycling has become a major part of the Finn's life away from Formula 1, and Schumacher's comments suggested that he might be better off concentrating on his interests outside racing. Ocon, meanwhile, is currently racing for Haas but does not have a seat confirmed for the 2027 season. The Frenchman continued competing in Formula 1 throughout 2025, unlike Bottas, who spent the year on the sidelines before returning with Cadillac.How Bottas and Perez have performed at Cadillac in 2026Cadillac opted for experience when selecting its first Formula 1 driver pairing. Bottas arrived with ten Grand Prix victories from his time at Mercedes, while Perez brought six wins and several seasons of experience alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull. However, neither driver has managed to score a point for the team so far in 2026. Cadillac has spent much of its debut campaign towards the back of the field, with both drivers regularly fighting outside the top ten. Bottas recorded one of the team's strongest results with 13th place at the Chinese Grand Prix, although his season has also been disrupted by retirements and reliability problems. Perez has similarly struggled to break into the points. The Mexican came close in Monaco, where he crossed the line in tenth place before a ten-second penalty dropped him out of the points-paying positions. Despite neither driver managing to score a point so far, Perez has generally had the upper hand in the intra-team battle, regularly finishing ahead of Bottas. The Mexican has often proved the stronger of the two on race weekends, although Cadillac's lack of competitiveness has prevented either driver from challenging consistently for points.

">TAG Heuer unveils special edition Red Bull F1 watch for 10-year celebration TAG Heuer has unveiled a special edition Formula 1 Solargraph watch celebrating its 10-year partnership with Red Bull Racing Lando Norris is putting together one of the worst title defences the championship has ever seen. The Briton currently sits sixth in the drivers' standings on just 201 points with six races to go. If he finishes sixth or lower, he will be the first reigning champion to finish outside the top five the following season since Damon Hill in 1997. Hill won the title with Williams in 1996, but was dropped by the team and moved to Arrows, finishing 12th in 1997. Since then, the worst a reigning champion has finished is fifth. 1998: Jacques Villeneuve, Williams, fifth 2009: Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, fifth 2010: Jenson Button, McLaren, fifth 2014: Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, fifth Arguably, Nico Rosberg failed to defend his title after becoming champion in 2016 due to his retirement, but I'm not sure that counts. Norris is only 14 points behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who sits in fifth, and 20 points behind Max Verstappen in fourth. So even though there are no sprint race weekends left this season, it's still possible for Norris to pull himself out of this slump. But that's if McLaren can improve the car before it's too late. Lando Norris, McLarenre> "The car's not quick enough and it's too difficult to drive. We're a long way off," he told the media after he finished fourth at the Singapore Grand Prix. "You have to always look at the package, you know?" team principal Andrea Stella said. "I think we know that tracks with long straights, we are not that great. The package is not strong in these circuits. "So tracks like Baku, like Monza, like Las Vegas will be difficult. The the car is strong in low speed, in very small tight, little corners when you have to be on brakes... these kind of things. I think it's quite good, but it's not the best so we need to work on that. You know it has strength, it has weaknesses and it will go up and down for the rest of the season."

It is a significant investment in technology and infrastructure. The idea of remote operations came after the 2021 F1 season, and it has been operational since then. However, the new upgraded facility will help strengthen race management. The new facility has been in use since the 2026 Dutch GP weekend, assisting the FIA Race Control and Stewards, with up to 16 staff working. The work includes managing 140 audio and video feeds, car positioning telemetry and team radio communications. It helps in identifying potential track limits violations, pit lane offenses, jump starts, incorrect grid positions and whether the driver/team has completed the stop-and-go penalties. It also uses innovative AI assistance to flag potential incidents. re>Domenicali Highlights F1 and the FIA Working Together“The opening of the FIA’s Remote Operations Centre at our Formula 1 Media & Technology Centre in Biggin Hill, the home of our international broadcast, is an important step forward for our sport and our fans,” said Domenicali. “It demonstrates what we can achieve when Formula 1 and the FIA work closely together with a shared ambition to deliver the highest standards across our sport. This world-leading facility will support the FIA’s trackside activities across Formula 1, Formula 2 and Formula 3, strengthening the operations that are essential to fair and consistent competition. “I would like to congratulate Mohammed Ben Sulayem and the entire FIA team on delivering this centre. We look forward to welcoming them to Biggin Hill and continuing our close collaboration to build a stronger future for our sport.”FIA Hypes the Milestone AchievedPresident Ben Sulayem feels it was an important milestone to develop the highest standards of safety and fairness. “The inauguration of our new Remote Operations Centre represents an important milestone in the continued evolution of the FIA Formula One World Championship and our commitment to delivering the highest standards of safety, fairness and integrity across our sport,” he said. “As the Championship grows globally, it is vital that we continue to invest in the people, technology and infrastructure that underpin world-class race operations. This state-of-the-art facility will strengthen our ability to support accurate, consistent and efficient decision-making, ensuring that our sport continues to operate at the highest possible standards. “This is also a powerful example of what we can achieve through collaboration. I would like to thank Stefano Domenicali and our partners at FOG for their continued support, alongside the dedicated FIA teams whose expertise and professionalism are fundamental to the success of our sport.

In a new partnership between F1 and Leica Camera, it has launched a Q3 43… Formula 1 is set to return to its usual race distance in 2028, with the FIA confirming that the shorter Grands Prix planned for 2027 will only be a temporary measure. Although races will be reduced from 305 to 290 kilometres next season, the latest regulations already include provisions to reverse the change just one year later. The confirmation comes from the updated 2027 Sporting Regulations, published by the FIA on 19 October. The document also outlines changes scheduled for 2028, including the restoration of the traditional Grand Prix distance as teams adapt to further adjustments to the power unit rules. Why Formula 1 is reducing race distances in 2027The decision to shorten races was approved during the F1 Commission meeting on 21 September. Under the new rules, Grands Prix will cover 290 kilometres rather than the current 305, reducing the number of laps by approximately two or three, depending on the circuit. The adjustment is a consequence of the changes being made to Formula 1's power units. From 2027, the internal combustion engine will provide a greater share of the total power, while the contribution from the electrical system will be reduced. The current 53:47 split between combustion and electrical power will move to 58:42 next season. The internal combustion engine's maximum output will increase from 400 to 420 kW, while the MGU-K's maximum output will fall from 350 to 300 kW. re> Photo: Race Pictures To accommodate the additional combustion-engine performance, the permitted fuel flow will also increase. This creates a problem for teams, as completing a full-length Grand Prix with higher fuel consumption could require larger fuel tanks. Introducing those changes for 2027 would mean making substantial modifications to cars that have already been developed around the existing regulations. Increasing fuel tank capacity could require changes to the chassis, adding further costs for the teams. Reducing the race distance by 15 kilometres provides a solution for next season, allowing the revised power units to be introduced without requiring an immediate redesign of the cars to carry more fuel.FIA reveals when traditional F1 race distances will returnThe reduction will not continue beyond 2027 under the regulations currently published by the FIA. Article B2.5.2, included among the changes for 2028, restores the requirement for Grands Prix to cover the minimum number of complete laps exceeding 305 kilometres. Monaco will remain the exception. The race around the streets of Monte Carlo will continue to have a minimum distance exceeding 260 kilometres, meaning it will not be affected by the temporary reduction introduced elsewhere on the calendar. The return to longer races will take place alongside another revision to the power unit regulations. From 2028, the balance between combustion and electrical power is set to change to 60:40, with the internal combustion engine taking on an even greater role. Maximum combustion-engine output will increase again, reaching 450 kW, while the permitted fuel flow will also rise further. As a result, teams will need sufficient fuel capacity to complete the longer races while operating under the revised engine regulations. ">FIA sets out 2028 U-turn on controversial F1 race distance changeFormula 1 is set to return to its usual race distance in 2028, with the FIA confirming that the shorter Grands Prix planned for 2027 will only be a temporary measure.

FIA boss confirms plans for Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands PrixFIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has insisted that the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix are still expected to go ahead as scheduled, despite the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The situation has already affected the 2026 Formula 1 calendar, with the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix cancelled earlier this year. The Bahrain race was subsequently rescheduled and held in Malaysia at the beginning of October. Speaking to The Race, Ben Sulayem stressed that the safety of drivers, officials and staff remains the priority, but said he currently sees no reason why the final two rounds of the championship cannot take place. The FIA president, whose family lives in the United Arab Emirates, also pointed to his own experience of the situation in the region, explaining that he would not leave his family there if he believed they were in danger. However, he acknowledged that circumstances could change and that nobody can predict what might happen in the coming weeks. For now, both races remain on the calendar, with the FIA also prepared to make alternative staffing arrangements if travel restrictions become an issue. re> (Photo: Race Pictures)Horner reveals he nearly became Mercedes boss instead of WolffChristian Horner has revealed that he turned down an offer to lead Mercedes at the end of 2012, before Toto Wolff joined the German manufacturer the following year. The former Red Bull team principal explained that three-time world champion Niki Lauda approached him over Christmas in an attempt to convince him to leave Red Bull and take charge of Mercedes' Formula 1 operation. Despite being offered an attractive financial package, Horner decided to remain with Red Bull out of loyalty to the team's founder, Dietrich Mateschitz, who had given him the opportunity to become team principal in 2005. Mercedes subsequently recruited Wolff in 2013, while Ross Brawn remained team principal for that season. The team went on to dominate the beginning of Formula 1's hybrid era, winning eight consecutive constructors' championships between 2014 and 2021. Horner's revelations also come alongside details of Lewis Hamilton's discussions with Red Bull in 2012. The British driver considered joining the team before leaving McLaren, but concerns about pairing him with Sebastian Vettel and the financial demands involved prevented the move from progressing. re> Photo: Race Pictures ">F1 Today: FIA boss delivers crucial Qatar and Abu Dhabi GP update as Horner reveals Mercedes talksFrom FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem addressing the future of the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix amid tensions in the Middle East to Christian Horner revealing he almost became Mercedes boss before Toto Wolff's arrival, here are the main Formula 1 stories of the day.

The former Red Bull boss also recalled working with Steiner during the team's early years, describing his first impression of the Italian as rather intimidating. Steiner became a familiar face to millions of viewers through Netflix's Drive to Survive, which brought Formula 1's team principals and their personalities into the spotlight. Horner believes the series has been hugely beneficial for the championship, although he acknowledged that editing can have a significant influence on how individuals are portrayed. Horner jokes about Steiner's success on Drive to SurviveSpeaking to Autosport, Horner explained that viewers do not necessarily see the full picture when watching the Netflix documentary, given the amount of footage recorded throughout a Formula 1 season. "These guys are making a TV show. They take hours and hours and hours of footage, and it’s all about how you edit something. You can either make somebody look like the villain or the hero or vice versa." Despite that, Horner praised the programme for giving fans an insight into aspects of Formula 1 that were previously less visible, particularly the relationships and rivalries within the paddock: "That show has been incredibly successful because it suddenly lifted the lid on some of the rivalries, the personalities, the drivers’ personalities, some of the characters." Steiner was one of the figures who attracted considerable attention through the series. His appearances as Haas team principal made him popular with viewers, something Horner acknowledged while making a light-hearted remark about his results in Formula 1. re> Photo: Race Pictures "Guenther Steiner has made a career off the back of it. I mean, I don’t think he ever achieved a podium in Formula 1! But good for him." Having worked alongside Steiner before his time at Haas, Horner was already familiar with his personality long before the Netflix cameras arrived in the paddock: "He is a character, quite a scary character when he worked for us, but it’s brought a whole new fan base into the sport, which has been fantastic."Horner recalls Steiner's difficult start at Red BullSteiner's connection with Red Bull dates back to the team's early years in Formula 1, when Horner was establishing himself as team principal. The Briton admitted that he had never heard of Steiner before their paths crossed and that his first impression came from searching for information about him online. "I’d never heard of him and when I looked him up on the internet he looked fairly scary, that was my first impression, and then Guenther turned up." Steiner was subsequently responsible for the RB2, the car Red Bull entered in the 2006 Formula 1 season. Powered by a Ferrari engine, the RB2 suffered from overheating problems during its initial running at Silverstone, something Horner still remembers: "He was then responsible for the RB2, the Ferrari-powered car that overheated in about three degrees at Silverstone on a shakedown." Adrian Newey arrived at Red Bull shortly afterwards. Horner recalled how the British designer reacted to the car, suggesting that he had little interest in continuing with the existing design: "Adrian Newey turned up shortly afterwards and said ‘well, we’ll forget about that car’." Steiner eventually moved away from the Formula 1 operation, although he continued working within the Red Bull organisation. His next role involved the company's developing NASCAR project, marking the beginning of his move into American motorsport. "Guenther went off within the Red Bull world to work on the NASCAR project that was just getting going and that was his sort of transition into the American world."

">F1 teams reveal special United States GP collections with denim, cowboy hats and Godzilla Formula 1 teams and drivers are embracing the spirit of Texas for the 2026 United States Grand Prix Mercedes was always expected to master the regulation switch thanks to decades of it producing world-class power units, a key part of the 2026 ruleset. It led to the Silver Arrows being the bookies’ favourite for both titles from early on, though based on 2025, many assumed George Russell would take the drivers’ crown. The 28-year-old produced arguably the best campaign of his then seven-season-long F1 career by maximising the W16 to finish fourth in the standings and 169 points above rookie team-mate Kimi Antonelli. Surely, after such an up-and-down rookie season, Antonelli wouldn’t be world champion material in only year two. Yet he has been: the 20-year-old holds a 102-point advantage over second-placed Russell. It’s been mighty impressive how consistent Antonelli has been with 14 podiums, eight victories and six poles. Only in Baku was the Italian not quick enough for a top-three finish, with his other non-podium results happening due to a car issue. Read Also: How Kimi Antonelli levelled up his character to be F1 2026's world champion-elect It all means that Antonelli can clinch his maiden title in Austin this weekend, the first opportunity for him to do so.

Mercedes, on the other hand, is not yet able to seal the constructors’ title, as it would need to leave Austin with a 215-point gap over second-placed Ferrari. Considering the advantage currently stands at 134, Mexico is the earliest opportunity for the German marque to take its first championship since 2021. But is Mercedes favourite for victory?Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Mercedesre> Realistically, the only way Antonelli can become world champion this weekend is if he wins the United States Grand Prix and Russell finishes ninth. If it were earlier in 2026, when Mercedes won the opening six rounds from pole, then the former would appear very likely - but not now, all thanks to Red Bull. The Austrian outfit started the campaign slowly with two podiums in the first six, yet responded to that with relentless upgrades and perhaps the most decisive of those came in Baku last month. That weekend Max Verstappen finished second, closely behind Russell, before going to Sepang, a track with completely different characteristics, to take his first win of 2026. The four-time world champion then followed that up with a victory in both the Singapore sprint and grand prix last time out. So not only has Verstappen won the last three races from pole, but he has also finished on the podium in seven of the last eight grands prix, staging a late resurgence reminiscent of last year. It has led to many within the paddock to label the RB22 as the ‘class of the field’ and with it now performing at more than one type of circuit, Red Bull arguably heads into Austin as favourite for victory.

The Woking outfit won back-to-back in Budapest and Zandvoort via Lando Norris, who would have made it three victories in four at Madrid had it not been for an untimely VSC. But since then it has regressed, failing to score a podium in the three races since - the Azerbaijan-Malaysia-Singapore triple header - and now faces a fight to hold onto third with just a seven-point advantage over Red Bull. That is despite the reigning champions bringing an upgraded MCL40 to Malaysia and, although the updates seemingly worked as intended, McLaren was simply out-developed by its rivals. That may change this weekend as the British marque is bringing another set of upgrades to Austin, largely focused on the front of the car. "We’re bringing a modest selection of upgrades for this event, aimed at improving some braking reliability and performance issues," said chief designer Rob Marshall. "We also have some small floor changes to test. We have all seen how difficult it is to predict the relative performance of the top teams over the last five or six races. Obviously, there are many factors in play here: cars being upgraded, cars suiting and drivers liking certain circuits, among other factors. "The last few races have not been great for us, but I think we’re getting stronger again and Austin is probably a better circuit for our car." The clash between Norris and team-mate Oscar Piastri in the Singapore sprint may also come up again this weekend, though McLaren appears to have drawn a line under the incident. Read Also: McLaren held fresh talks after Singapore GP clash as Lando Norris promises to "make better decisions"Driver market news for 2027Liam Lawson, Racing Bullsre> There has been more driver news since the Singapore Grand Prix, as Haas confirmed it will give Formula 2 points leader Rafael Camara his F1 debut in 2027. The 21-year-old Brazilian is replacing Esteban Ocon and will likely line up alongside incumbent Oliver Bearman, once a few contractual details have been ironed out. It completes a rapid rise for Camara, who won F3 in 2025 and FRECA the year before, and means that outside of Haas, in theory, the only seats left to be confirmed for 2027 are at Racing Bulls. Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad currently compete for the Faenza outfit and have both contributed to Racing Bulls leading the midfield, sitting fifth on 100 points. While it is all but guaranteed that rookie Lindblad, who is 11th with 38 points, will return for next season, question marks linger around ninth-placed Lawson. Not that they should: the 24-year-old Kiwi is in the form of his life with points in every race bar five. But, as is the case with Red Bull, there is another young driver on its conveyor belt, and that is Camara’s F2 title rival Nikola Tsolov. The Austrian company has a decision to make: whether to keep Lawson or give Tsolov a chance. It’s just a case of where does Lawson go from here? A return to Red Bull, where he started 2025, is unlikely considering Isack Hadjar’s form, whereas staying at Racing Bulls long-term is not really a viable option for any party. So expect those questions this weekend. But as things stand, Lawson is expected to stay for 2027 with 2028 perhaps being the year he needs to find a new team.How many track limit breaches this year?Pierre Gasly, Alpine, Franco Colapinto, Alpinere> “I’m going to put a pillow from the hotel under his butt, so he can actually see the road,” were the words of Mercedes boss Toto Wolff at the Singapore GP. It was in response to Antonelli breaching track limits on four occasions which, in theory, is the threshold for a five-second penalty. But the Italian escaped it, given brake issues caused one of them. Nevertheless, track limits is something Antonelli has often struggled with and, much to his dismay, no doubt they will be a huge topic this weekend. They always are around COTA due to its extremely long run-off areas and high-speed bends, with 32 laps being deleted in last year’s race. That is more than most on the calendar, so it will no doubt be another talking point this weekend - particularly so in qualifying, where drivers are pushing the limits more than in any other session.

The annual United States Grand Prix is the second of three races in the country this season, following May’s Miami Grand Prix and preceding November’s Las Vegas Grand Prix. Unlike the street races in Florida and Nevada, this race takes place at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) — a permanent track in Austin. Built ahead of the 2012 season, COTA has become one of the most thrilling tracks on the calendar. It was inspired by Silverstone (England) and Suzuka (Japan), with different sections mirroring the iconic tracks. With the season winding down and a championship on the line, here’s everything to know for the U.S. Grand Prix: When is the F1 U.S. Grand Prix and what time does it start?The 2026 U.S. Grand Prix is set for Sunday, Oct. 25.What is the F1 Austin TV schedule for COTA?There will be three practice sessions and a qualifying session before the race, making for a busy three days in Austin.

Here's everything you need to know as Formula One heads back to Texas. Max Verstappen has named Isack Hadjar as the driver he hopes will one day replace him as Red Bull's leading driver. He said the Frenchman is the driver who could replace him as Red Bull's number one driver when he eventually calls time on his F1 career. Ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, Verstappen signed a deal until the end of the 2030 with Red Bull Racing. When the interviewer asked him outright whether Hadjar could take over his role once he leaves Formula 1 at the Austrian outfit, he did not hedge. He told Canal+: "That’s what I hope. As I said, I’m not racing here forever. He has a few years on me, so hopefully he can stay around for a bit longer." Verstappen admits he feels 'a little bit old'Verstappen presented the succession question as a normal part of how a team works. "So, I slowly start to feel a little bit old having a younger teammate by quite a few years. But that’s a normal process, and that’s also what, as a team, you should be looking for, right?" He added: "I'm not going to race forever, and at one point you need new talent coming into the team to try and take over at one point." The four-time world champion also praised how long Hadjar has been part of the system, pointing out that "even when he was still not racing in Formula 1, he's been around to some of the races, listening in and following." He described the 22-year-old as a team-ate who "has been great. He's just getting started, but it has been really nice." re> Isack Hadjar and Max Verstappen - Photo: Race PicturesHadjar breaks the curse of Red Bull's second seatOver the past few years, since Daniel Ricciardo left the team, Red Bull Racing has struggled with Verstappen’s teammates falling well behind the Dutchman, with Sergio Perez’s brief spell of success being the exception. Hadjar has done better than most of his predecessors, and became the first driver since Perez to out-qualify Verstappen on merit at the Japanese Grand Prix. The championship table tells a less flattering story, although Hadjar had to miss three races with a wrist injury and he experienced power unit issues over the last rounds. With six rounds remaining in the 2026 season, Verstappen sits fourth in the drivers' championship with 221 points, while Hadjar is eighth with 97 points.Red Bull already committed to Hadjar for 2027The team has already shown it believes in Hadjar. Red Bull confirmed his contract extension ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Team principal Laurent Mekies said: "It was really, really easy. He has done a very, very strong first part of the year. First, with his natural speed, then, with the way he has integrated with the team very quickly in the early weeks. He moved to the UK, he was pretty much every other week with us in Milton Keynes. And then, not less importantly, the way he has progressed through the races. We have really seen him doing something a bit better pretty much every race weekend. And therefore, it was a very, very easy decision to make." If both drivers serve out their current plans, the timing could suit a handover. Hadjar will be 26 when Verstappen's contract expires. ">Verstappen names the Red Bull driver he wants to take over when he leaves F1Max Verstappen has named Isack Hadjar as the driver he hopes will one day replace him as Red Bull's leading driver. He said the Frenchman is the driver who could replace him as Red Bull's number one driver when he eventually calls time on his F1 career. an interview with Motorsport.com sister publication Formel1.de, as the Baden-Wuerttemberg-based circuit launched Motorworld, which it described as “a unique centre that brings together motorsport, retail, workshops, service providers, business, hotels, catering, events and a passion for motoring under one roof”. The Baden-Wuerttemberg-based circuit first hosted the German Grand Prix in 1970 and was a staple on the F1 calendar from 1977 to 2006 before moving to biannual appearances until 2018, initially alternating with the Nurburgring. A final event was organised in 2019 with backing from Mercedes, but tricky financial conditions made any further races unfeasible. Nowadays, F1 has a 24-round calendar with a number of potential candidates – including Rwanda, which is set to join in the early 2030s – but Hockenheim is still interested in making the world championship its flagship event. “Formula 1 is naturally watching very closely what is happening here at the Hockenheimring,” Teske said. 2019 German Grand Prixre> “We are in discussions. Formula 1's priority, of course, is that the overall conditions at the Hockenheimring are right. Motorworld is a beautiful building, but it isn't the essential element Formula 1 needs to stage a race. I imagine his focus will be more on whether the overall infrastructure is suitable. That said, the images we released impressed everyone, and I would include [F1 CEO] Stefano Domenicali in that. It is simply a fantastic building, and it symbolises the fact that things really are moving forward at the circuit.” Nerpel clarified that Hockenheim would need temporary grandstands if it were to host F1 again, in order to go from “just under 60,000 seats” to “close to 100,000”, as well as a larger pit building to accommodate all 11 teams. But the crux of the issue, as is often the case, is financial. “We often sit here and say, 'Have you seen that pit building in Hungary?'” Nerpel added. “Something like that gets built almost overnight – and I use that phrase deliberately, because those buildings went up in something like six to nine months. “These are two completely different approaches. When a government or a country shows an interest and says, 'This matters to us' – look at Rwanda, for example, which is now part of the discussion – we sometimes think it is extraordinary how little standing Formula 1 has in Germany, a country famous for its automotive industry, and how little support there is for it. Naturally, we would like much more backing, but the chances of public funding coming from any source are virtually zero, if I may put it that way.” “There are many issues to resolve first,” Teske confirmed. “Since we have nothing substantial to announce or discuss publicly at this stage, it remains largely theoretical.”2019 German Grand Prixre> Amid subsiding calendar uncertainty in the context of the Iran war, Teske also clarified that a last-minute, one-off replacement race ‘certainly wouldn’t be worthwhile’ for Hockenheim from a financial standpoint. “Let me put it this way: if taking on a replacement race opened the door significantly wider to a multi-year contract and a secure Formula 1 future, then it would certainly be an option we would examine very seriously,” Teske said. “But if it were clear that it would be just a one-off replacement race, with no further prospects, I would personally question whether the effort was worthwhile. Financially, it certainly wouldn't be. Read Also: FIA expects F1 races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi to continue as planned “What lasting value would a single race bring? One burst of media attention, huge visibility for that event, and then it all fades away again. That wouldn't necessarily be my preference, although I must stress that this is just my personal opinion and hasn't been agreed internally.” Fourteen of the current 22 drivers on the F1 grid have raced at the Hockenheimring, with three claiming victories – Fernando Alonso (’05, ’10, ’12), Lewis Hamilton (’06, ’16, ’18) and Max Verstappen (’19).

">Hockenheim in talks with F1 despite “virtually zero” public fundingAs it launches a “home of mobility”, Hockenheim still wishes for an F1 race maximum distance of a race was cut by 15km from 305km (189.5 miles) to 290km (180.2 miles) for the 2027 season. That reduction was introduced because of a quirk of the situation surrounding changes to the engine rules for next year. The new hybrid engines introduced this year, which have a near 50-50 split between internal combustion and electrical power, have been criticised for reducing the impact of driver skill. The power split will be changed, in two steps, to 60-40 by 2028, enabling drivers to have maximum power for longer. This means the cars will use more fuel - and that became a concern when it emerged some teams wanted to carry their chassis over into next year to save money. As the fuel tank is within the chassis and therefore its size could not be changed, this meant those teams might not have been able to finish grands prix with their existing fuel tanks. The change affects only a handful of races where fuel consumption is heaviest. The sport's governing body, the FIA, published the 2027 rules this week and these included a section on changes for 2028 in which there is a clause that removes the reduction and reinstates the 305km maximum distance. Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton had previously objected to the shortening of race distances. Britain's Hamilton, 41, said: "The races should be longer because the races are physically easier than ever before. So shortening, I don't think, makes much sense. "This is supposed to be the sport that's the most physically demanding - mentally and physically. There are some that are just so hot and ultimately you are on the edge. Like Singapore is incredibly hot and demanding. "But that's where I think you want to see athletes - just right on the edge, right? Right at the edge of their performance, having to actually push their bodies further because that's what this sport is about - pushing, pushing the levels and pushing the boundaries." ">F1 races to return to standard distance in 2028 Formula 1 grands prix will return to their standard distance in 2028 after the maximum length was shortened for next season. Mercedes is confident it can win again in the 2026 Formula 1 season, but is aware it has been facing a bigger challenge than ever from the other top teams. The Silver Arrows triumphed in the opening six grands prix of the campaign, as F1 switched to new technical regulations. Later on, rival upgrades meant Ferrari claimed two victories in Austria and Great Britain, then McLaren’s Lando Norris took back-to-back wins in Hungary and the Netherlands, and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen prevailed most recently in Malaysia and Singapore. Mercedes didn’t hold off from updating its car either, but the team is well aware its performance advantage has been slashed. That’s despite a healthy lead in both championships, with a maiden world title within reach of Kimi Antonelli in Austin. “I think we've sounded like a bit of a broken record all year, to be honest, because we've been saying how close and competitive this season is, even if we were able to put a good run of wins together earlier in the season,” deputy team principal Bradley Lord commented on the Nu Silver Arrows Radio Show. “That is being borne out. “We saw Ferrari upgrading their car either prior to or up to Baku, Red Bull doing the same. We obviously brought our update to Malaysia and we've seen different levels of hitting the ground running, I guess, with those updates. Last two races, both Red Bull and Ferrari have been more competitive than they had been in the events up to then.” Average gap to pole position
Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing, George Russell, Mercedesre> It was a ‘messy triple-header’ indeed, with Antonelli hitting the wall in qualifying in Baku and George Russell suffering a power unit failure in Malaysia, which meant he exceeded his quota in Singapore and started that race from the back of the grid; the Briton went on to crash out of the sprint as he was leading. Read Also: Why Mercedes switched George Russell to its old F1 car spec in Singapore To compound Mercedes’ issues, its latest W17 update has not delivered as much as it was hoping for relative to its rivals – hence very balanced performance among top teams and Red Bull’s return to victory. 2026 marks only the second time four outfits have taken several wins each (Mercedes 11, Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull two) since 1990, after the same outfits shone in 2024. So when asked who will be the team to beat in Austin, deputy technical director Simone Resta pondered: “It's quite interesting to see that in every weekend you go in, you are never sure about who's going to be the strongest one out there. “With what we've seen so far with Red Bull, they'll be there fighting for the top position for sure. They've been quite strong now in a few races and they will be strong. “We've seen a strong Ferrari more or less in all the conditions. Maybe they miss a little bit, let's say, to be in the top position, but they're very competitive. “And we need to respect McLaren. McLaren, they are the world champion team and they've shown in some races this year that they can be the strongest out there, even with some margin. “There's good possibility that all of these teams will be strong there, and it makes it even more exciting for ourselves. You will try to really squeeze out a bit more from the package, try to optimise our configuration and come back to the top again, like we were in Baku, like we were in Monza, like we've been able to win in Madrid.

">FIA enforces new rule to close F1 cost cap loophole Teams will have to clearly separate their F1 and non-F1 staff from next season onwards Ferrari Formula 1 team, Charles Leclerc says their problem is the "raw performance" of its car, not its set-up. This comes as the outfit is expected to bring its largest upgrade of the season to the United States Grand Prix. Ferrari has often looked competitive in practice sessions, but as qualifying begins, it seemingly slips backwards in comparison to its rivals. According to the Monegasque driver, this pattern comes from the engine modes his rivals are running. “I’m not sure we are particularly good on Fridays,” he admitted. “I mean we are, but I believe it comes more from the engine modes that others are running, and once we come to qualifying, they just have something that we don’t.” Rather than lacking performance over qualifying and the race, Leclerc instead argues that Ferrari arrives at race weekends with an already well-balanced car, thanks to the work his colleagues have already done at its Maranello base. “One of our strengths as a team is straight from the get-go having a car with a good balance,” he said. “I think our car is quite peaky, but I think we do a very good preparation before the weekend on the simulator. “The correlation has been quite strong recently, which helps us to do the work on the simulator back at home, and then arrive at the track and have a strong car straight away and a car I feel comfortable with.” Franco Colapinto, Alpine, Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, George Russell, Mercedesre> But he does not think changing the car’s characteristics would unlock more speed. “It’s not that if we design a very peaky car, then we can extract more out of it,” he said. “The raw potential of the car is not at the level of our main competitors, but I don’t think making it more peaky will be able to extract anything more. “I think it’s just the raw performance of the car where we are a bit down at the moment.” Ferrari has struggled with straight line power all season, with its opting for a smaller turbo to improve performance at lower speeds. This has cost the team, with it eventually losing the one advantage it did have. But with a new floor, sidepods, and bodywork on the way in Austin, the Scuderia drivers could see a swing in performance. This has been a long time coming, with the team's last race victory coming at the British Grand Prix, where Leclerc took the win. Despite this, however, the Italian squad was able to outscore Mercedes at both the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and the Singapore Grand Prix, the latter of which saw Leclerc finish second behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen. Ferrari sits second in the constructors’ championship on 444 points, 134 points behind Mercedes, while Leclerc sits fifth in the drivers’ standings on 215 points and team-mate Lewis Hamilton is third on 229.

Aston Martin is its partner too; the Japanese brand reaches 500 races in Formula 1 in Austin, a milestone it has wanted to commemorate with a series of special details despite the fact that the sporting moment is not the sweetest for the team. Not every day do you reach 500 races in the Grand Circus, and Honda has wanted to make the occasion worthy. The first visible detail will be the commemorative 'Honda500' logo that Fernando Alonso's and Lance Stroll's AMR26s will display throughout the weekend, a nod to the Japanese brand's long journey in Formula 1, which began in the 1964 season and has seen periods of glory and struggle. Furthermore, the Sakura firm's engineers working with Aston Martin at the circuit will wear special uniforms that will also include the celebration logo. Alonso-Honda Dispute Erupts Over Turbo Replacement in SingaporeThe Spaniard insists that his Aston Martin's turbocharger is broken and demands a replacement. Honda denies having detected a major failure in the data and justifies the change based on the driver's comments. The energy problems continued in the race. As an addition for Friday morning, a group photo has been organized with Aston Martin and Honda members united. Among others, Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll, Lawrence Stroll, and Adrian Newey will be present for a symbolic photo of the two parties' union at a key moment for the project. Koji Watanabe, still president of HRC, has expressed gratitude to all those involved in the history of Honda in Formula 1: "Since Honda debuted in F1 in 1964, the company has faced countless challenges, setbacks, and successful moments on the most important stage of world motorsport. I am enormously pleased that Honda has reached this milestone of 500 races," Watanabe declared.

The executive wanted to express his gratitude to all those who have been part of this trajectory: "I want to express my most sincere gratitude to the fans around the world who have supported Honda in its challenges and have been with the company both in good and bad times; to all the partners and drivers who have competed alongside Honda over the years; and to the Aston Martin team with whom Honda has now joined to face a new challenge" he added. Watanabe also looked ahead with ambition: "With a deep pride in the history and achievements that these 500 races represent, Honda and HRC will continue taking on the F1 challenge, striving to bring dreams and excitement to fans around the world," he concluded. The celebration in Austin comes at a complicated moment for Honda, which continues working to improve its power unit's performance and close the gap on its rivals. However, the 500-race milestone is a sign of the brand's perseverance and commitment to Formula 1, a story that began more than six decades ago and that, despite the ups and downs, continues to be written. The celebration in Austin recognizes a history full of ups and downs, but also reminds us that Honda remains committed to Formula 1.

Ferrari Bring Final Major Upgrade of 2026 to United States Grand PrixThe Scuderia introduces a new floor, sidepods and bodywork on the SF-26 to expand its performance window. After the United States GP, it will freeze major aerodynamic development and focus all its resources on next year's car. The 26-year-old driver arrived at Ferrari after spending three seasons at Mercedes performing similar functions in the simulator. His incorporation into Maranello meant a new chapter in his career, in which he has combined his work in the simulator with his participation in categories such as Super Formula, Super GT, and Formula E; now, the opportunity to test a real Scuderia car represents one more step in his integration and in his ability to contribute to the team's development. Fenestraz confirmed that the test is already agreed, though the exact date is not yet set: "I am going to have a test next year; I already know it, and they confirmed it to me," he revealed. The driver also explained that he had initially planned to attend an activity last week, but his sporting commitments prevented him from going, as he was contesting the Super GT race at Autopolis. Ferrari has not publicly specified whether the test will be carried out under the Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) program, which allows teams to organize private sessions with cars from previous seasons, or as part of a specific day for rookie drivers. F1 Daily: Verstappen's New Race Engineer, Antonelli's Title Shot, and MoreMax Verstappen might be working with a new race engineer in the upcoming United States Grand Prix. Beyond the excitement of driving a Ferrari, Fenestraz made clear that the main objective of these sessions is to improve his contribution to the team from the simulator; driving a real car allows simulator drivers to better understand its behavior on track and relate the sensations behind the wheel to the data and responses that the virtual systems reproduce. That experience can be fundamental to perfecting the development work and the correlation between the simulator and the real car: "I am looking forward to it, but obviously the most important thing for them is that I get in the car to improve my performance in the simulator. All simulator drivers have to get behind the wheel of a TPC car to acquire experience in a Formula 1 car so I will simply have to wait for that day to come", he explained. At 26 years old, Fenestraz faces a new stage at Ferrari with the illusion of a debutant and the experience of a professional who has traveled a long road in motorsport. His test with the Italian car in 2027 will be an opportunity to demonstrate his worth and to continue growing in a team that trusts his work. The dream of driving a Ferrari is increasingly closer to becoming a reality.

F1 2026: The Symbols Behind Cadillac's New Livery for the US Grand Prix Cadillac is putting on a cowboy theme for their home race in Austin. Grand Prix on SI about the timing, target buyer, and where this partnership should go next after their two-pronged launch ahead of the US GP at COTA. His thought process was the same as ours, citing the commonalities and histories between F1 and Leica. "Human moments are part of what makes the sport so compelling, and they are exactly the kind of moments photographers want to preserve. That connection is why Formula 1 feels like the right partner. In both worlds, technology and preparation matter enormously, but the result still depends on human judgment: knowing what to do, and when. A photographer must be ready before the moment arrives and respond when it does. There's a real affinity there."Mike Giannattasio, Leicare> In concert with F1's growth, this partnership is also about reach. As F1's audience continues to trend younger, the brands attached to it look to trend with the sport. After all, Leica has been around for generations, and it must continue to keep up with more than just photography enthusiasts. However, for Leica, it's deeper than reach - it's about cultivating "community". "Formula 1 is reaching a broader and more culturally engaged audience. We have an opportunity to introduce Leica's photographic heritage to people who may not know us yet, while connecting with a sport whose commitment to performance and detail is genuine. For us, this is not about putting two names beside one another. It is about bringing two communities together around values both can recognize."Mike Giannattasio, LeicaThat ambition, of course, runs into a natural barrier to entry. The cameras are unique. The pictures that they take are beautiful. The price tag of $9,950 certainly does not speak to 'cultivating community'. Mike didn't shy away from addressing this. He noted that this is not going to be someone's "first camera," but there are so many personas in and around Formula 1 who can and will purchase this camera and be drawn to it in a "meaningful way." re> "Ownership is only one way for a new audience to discover Leica. Someone might first encounter us through a photograph, the work of a motorsport photographer, one of the racers who use a Leica, or an exhibition connected to the sport. That can open a larger conversation about photography: not just how to document an event, but how to notice and interpret it. The camera is one expression of the partnership; the images and the creative culture around them can reach many more fans."Mike Giannattasio, LeicaThat is the real logic behind this deal. Not everyone will buy this camera, and not everyone should, but there are ways for everyone to appreciate the pictures that are taken with it and to discover the expansive portfolio of art that comes out of the Leica Camera brand. The Leica Q3 43, according to Mike, is a camera specifically designed to "offer a natural perspective for photographing the people, atmosphere, and details around a race." In shorter terms, to tell the human stories on and off an F1 track. The Leica collaboration, according to Giannattasio, is 'too early' to discuss future editions or possible race activations. He added that any move into the race environment would be exclusively for the purpose of helping people see more of the "stories behind the competition". "Presence for its own sake is not enough."Mike GiannattasioFor now, the brand's presence will stick to its launch: The special edition Leica Q3 43 Formula 1 camera at an exclusive event at the Leica Store and Gallery on Oct. 20th, 2026, presented to guests by Ariana Bravo and Jenson Button.

Haas in 2027. The Brazilian driver, who currently leads the Formula 2 championship, has opted for 50, a number that has a very personal meaning for him: "I think we will use number 50; the first option would be five, but obviously Gabi Bortoleto is using it. It's 50 because basically my birthday is 05/05/2005. I spoke with my father, and then he told me it was 50. It makes sense with the birthday date, so I will use that one next year," Camara explained in an interview. The number choice isn't random; Haas has used 50 several times. Reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa carried it during FP1, and Ollie Bearman, Camara's likely teammate in 2027, also used it in his 2024 substitute appearances. Now the Brazilian hopes to make it his own permanently, though the FIA won't confirm it until it publishes the entry list. Ayao Komatsu Reveals Why Haas Signed Rafael Camara for 2027The Haas boss reveals that the Brazilian impressed at the Portimao test for his adaptability and his maturity under pressure. Camara's path to Haas has not been simple; the Brazilian faced Hirakawa for Esteban Ocon's seat in a TPC test in Portimao, where he impressed the team boss, Ayao Komatsu, enough to earn a full-time opportunity: "They were two very intense days; you knew the test was going to be important and that you had to perform somehow. You had to perform during those two days with a new track, a new car, and a new team. I tried to learn everything and put it into practice. There was also a huge amount of pressure, so I really tried to concentrate, enjoy it, and make the most of the moment. I think in the end I was happy with the work I did; I was happy with myself," he recalled. Rafael Camara: 'It’s Crazy to Have Gotten This Far'The 21-year-old Brazilian, F2 leader and F3 champion, opens up about his emotions after signing with Haas for 2027. He recalls the intense two-day test in which he fought for the seat and his friendship with Bortoleto since childhood. The Brazilian also recounted the moment when Komatsu confirmed the news: "I received a call from Ayao in Milan about the seat, and the first thing I said to him was: 'Are you sure?' Obviously, I was very happy. I was very excited, and then I went to tell my parents, who were also there, and I could tell them in person and give them a big hug. I am extremely happy, especially for my parents; they made a lot of sacrifices to pursue something that was a child's passion, and we don't come from the motorsport world. We didn't really know what the path was to be here, so I am very proud to be here today, and I am just enjoying the moment," Camara concluded. The 21-year-old Brazilian faces the final stretch of the Formula 2 season with the chance to become champion before jumping to F1; his signing by Haas is the American team's bet on young talent and on the Ferrari academy, which he has belonged to since 2021. Camara arrives with the illusion of a child who sees his dream fulfilled, and with the determination of a driver who knows that the path to here has been long and sacrificed; the number 50 will be his hallmark on the grid, a constant reminder of his roots and of everything he has had to fight to get there. ">Rafael Camara Reveals Why He Chose Number 50 for Haas F1 Debut The Brazilian from Haas explains that his first choice was 5 but Bortoleto already uses it. The 50 is born from his birth date, May 5, 2005.

Max Verstappen has backed Isack Hadjar to eventually succeed him at Red Bull. Hadjar joined Red Bull alongside Verstappen at the start of 2026 after impressing in his rookie season with sister outfit Racing Bulls. While the Milton Keynes outfit has struggled for some time to find a team-mate for the Dutchman who could extract the same level of performance from the car, Hadjar has impressed so far. With six rounds remaining in the 2026 season, Verstappen sits fourth in the drivers' championship with 221 points, while Hadjar is eighth with 97 points, having missed three race weekends due to a wrist injury. While speaking to Canal+, Verstappen discussed his 22-year-old team-mate. "Isack, he’s still a very young guy. He’s been a part of the Red Bull programme for a while now," Verstappen said. "Even when he was still not racing in Formula 1, he’s been around to some of the races, listening in and following. Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing, Isack Hadjar, Red Bull Racingre> "So, I slowly start to feel a little bit old having a younger team-mate by quite a few years. But that’s a normal process, and that’s also what, as a team, you should be looking for, right? "I’m not going to race forever, and at one point you need new talent coming into the team to try and take over at one point. That’s always been a little bit the way that Red Bull works, finding new talent, and I think that will continue for a long time. "As a team-mate, he has been great. He’s just getting started, but it has been really nice." When asked if Hadjar could take his role within the team in the future, Verstappen added: "That’s what I hope. As I said, I’m not racing here forever. He has a few years on me, so hopefully he can stay around for a bit longer." To read more Motorsport.com articles visit our website.

This comes after the driver moved from Mercedes' Brackley headquarters to Ferrari's in Maranello. Speaking to Grande Premio during the Fuji race weekend for Super Formula, he confirmed his drive next year. “The truth is, it’s a dream to be able to work there, and it’s a dream to be with such a big name in motorsport," he said. "The work is great; it’s a bit like what I did with Mercedes in Brackley, only now I get to eat some good pasta in Italy and drive a Formula 1 Ferrari in the simulator, and potentially a couple of tests next year as well, so it’s a really great opportunity. “I’m going to have a test next year, I already know that and they confirmed it. I was supposed to be there next week, but I can’t make it because I have the Super GT race at Autopolis, so oh well, it’ll happen eventually." The Scuderia team is yet to confirm it, while the Argentine has said the purpose of it is to make him a better simulator driver. Sacha Fenestraz, VANTELIN TEAM TOM’Sre> "I’m really looking forward to it, but obviously the most important thing for them is for me to get in the car to improve my simulator performance. All the simulator drivers have to get behind the wheel of a TPC car to gain experience in a Formula 1 car, so I’ll just have to wait for that day." Fenestraz has had a successful racing career so far in Japan, winning the 2019 All-Japan Formula 3 championship and racing in Super Formula and Super GT. He also spent time in Formula E with Nissan. He finished 16th in both the 2022 and 2023 championships. At Ferrari, Dino Beganovic will become reserve driver in 2027, alongside Antonio Giovinazzi, after leaving the team's Driver Academy.

The Power Rankings are compiled by five judges who assess each driver's performance over the weekend, taking into account their individual contribution rather than simply their finishing position or the capabilities of their car. The Racing Bulls driver enjoyed another competitive outing at Marina Bay, delivering strong performances across both qualifying sessions and the two races. His efforts did not go unnoticed by Formula 1's judging panel, which ranked him among the weekend's leading performers. Only Max Verstappen received a higher rating in Singapore, with Lawson finishing ahead of several drivers competing in considerably more competitive machinery. re> Photo: Red Bull Content Pool Lawson moves ahead of Norris and Russell in F1 season rankingsThe Singapore result has strengthened Lawson's standing across the entire campaign. With 17 rounds completed, the New Zealander has risen two positions to fourth in the season-long Power Rankings, recording an average rating of 7.6 out of 10. Kimi Antonelli remains comfortably ahead of the field with an average of 8.7, followed by Verstappen on 8.2 and Lewis Hamilton on 7.7. Lawson is now the highest-ranked Racing Bulls driver and sits above several established names. George Russell, Pierre Gasly and reigning world champion Lando Norris share fifth place on 7.5, while teammate Arvid Lindblad occupies eighth with a 7.4 average. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Red Bull's Isack Hadjar are further behind, both averaging 7.2 and sharing ninth position. Lawson's rise is particularly notable given that Racing Bulls have spent much of the campaign fighting in the midfield. His position reflects the impression he has made on the judging panel throughout the year rather than the number of championship points he has collected.Lawson opens door to surprise racing opportunity in 2027Away from Formula 1, Lawson has also set his sights on another major motorsport event, having recently expressed interest in taking part in the 2027 Race of Champions. The competition is set to take place in Wellington, New Zealand, with former Formula 1 drivers Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas among the confirmed participants. For Lawson, the prospect of competing on home soil against some of the sport's biggest names is particularly appealing. Lawson recently welcomed the possibility of joining the event, although his participation has yet to be confirmed. It would offer the New Zealander a rare opportunity to race in front of his home crowd, with Formula 1 currently having no Grand Prix in the country.

Christian Horner revealing a secret meeting with Lewis Hamilton over a potential move to Red Bull to the Austrian team unveiling a special livery ahead of the United States Grand Prix, here are the main Formula 1 stories of the day. Horner reveals secret Hamilton meeting over sensational Red Bull moveChristian Horner has revealed that Lewis Hamilton seriously considered joining Red Bull before leaving McLaren for Mercedes in 2012, with the British driver even attending a private meeting at Adrian Newey's home near Ascot. In his memoir Drive, the former Red Bull team principal explained that Hamilton was becoming increasingly frustrated at McLaren following a series of mechanical failures. Horner first suspected that a move could be on the cards after noticing a missed call from the driver's father. The discussions eventually progressed to a meeting with Newey, where Hamilton directly asked what it would take to join the team. Horner recalled that Red Bull's technical mastermind was particularly excited by the prospect of pairing the Briton with Sebastian Vettel. However, Helmut Marko was less enthusiastic, fearing that Hamilton's arrival could disrupt Vettel's position within the team. The considerable financial demands involved also discouraged Horner from pursuing the deal. Hamilton ultimately signed for Mercedes, where he went on to claim six further world championships. re> Photo: Race PicturesRed Bull unveil special American-inspired livery for AustinRed Bull have introduced a new Mobil-inspired design for Alisha Palmowski's F1 Academy car ahead of the United States Grand Prix, with the championship leader set to debut the special colours at the Circuit of the Americas on Thursday, 22 October. Created in collaboration with ExxonMobil, the livery features a stars-and-stripes theme incorporating the red, white and blue colours associated with the Austin circuit. The Mobil brand's iconic red Pegasus appears on the rear wing and sidepods, while Palmowski will also wear specially designed overalls inspired by COTA's Esses section. The British driver heads into the penultimate round of the season with a 48-point advantage in the championship standings. She has already recorded four victories and four pole positions this year, including wins at each of the previous three rounds. The design celebrates ExxonMobil's partnership with the Red Bull Racing Academy Programme, which began in 2024, and its commitment to supporting young racing talent. Palmowski will make her first competitive appearance at COTA during the extended four-day race weekend, hoping to move another step closer to securing the championship. re> Photo: Red Bull Content Pool ">F1 Today: Horner reveals secret Hamilton talks as Red Bull unveil special Austin liveryFrom Christian Horner revealing a secret meeting with Lewis Hamilton over a potential move to Red Bull to the Austrian team unveiling a special livery ahead of the United States Grand Prix, here are the main Formula 1 stories of the day.

On the F1 Nation podcast, Palmer reflected on Verstappen’s season so far. The Brit has seen Verstappen drive strongly throughout the season, with almost no mistakes, and also described Red Bull’s resurgence as sensational. "When you look at the whole picture here, the uptrend for Red Bull is massive. We've spoken for years about McLaren's turnaround in form. A couple of years ago, it was certainly huge, when Lando came from nowhere to suddenly we were thinking 'can he fight for a championship,' before he did. "But I think this Red Bull turnaround in form might be on paper, when you look at the percentage difference." Palmer impressed by VerstappenPalmer believes Verstappen has been performing at an exceptionally high level all season. "When you look at Max, he has been delivering at a high level all season. It's not a massive surprise. There's been one or two mistakes this year which for once we've seen that he is human." re> Palmer is impressed by Max Verstappen this year. Photo: Red Bull Contentpool Palmer has compared Verstappen’s points tally with Antonelli’s over the course of the season. From the Monaco Grand Prix onward, Verstappen’s consistency is clear. After Monaco, he was just 113 points behind the young Italian. Now, that gap stands at 119 points. "If you started the championship after Monaco, Max would be champion. Probably if you started before Monaco, by the end of the season he'll have enough points that he'd be champion."'Verstappen makes other drivers afraid'Palmer says those numbers underline Verstappen’s class. The Brit believes they have instilled a certain fear in his rivals. "That's the incredible form he has shown when he didn't have the fastest car, and now he does, he's formidable. "And I still just think he's got, in terms of driving, I think he's got everyone else almost fearing the battle with him. There's almost a sense of resignation when you take on Max," Palmer concluded.

On the F1 Nation podcast, Palmer reflected on Verstappen’s season so far. MotoGP teams told Qatar Grand Prix expected to go ahead Speaking to selected media, including Motorsport.com, Ben Sulayem stated that he feels "secure" about the races for the time being, explaining that he would not leave his family residing in the Emirates if he felt it was unsafe to do so. "They're fine. One thing I would say, I have my children there - you think I would leave them there, and I'm here now with you? "You have to be sensible in this and saying, 'are we going to have an issue?' What you read in the media is actually different than we have there. You know, we read and we see the TV, we don't have that, really. Otherwise, why will I stay there, you know? Why would I leave my family? "But does this say that there is nothing going to happen? I cannot predict with this. I can only tell you today that there is nothing and the two races are going to happen. F1 cars lined up at the start of the racere> "I am happy [for FIA staff to go there]. Listen, I don't think the FIA staff would be more important to me than myself and my family, you know, but if I am there, it means I feel secure about it. "But we don't know for the time being. As I said, the Dakar [Rally in Saudi Arabia], if we hear anything from them, we will adjust. When I say them is the Federation of Motorsport in Saudi Arabia, we will adjust to that and we will help. "Like when we helped with Bahrain, I mean, when the request was there to not organise the event in Saudi Arabia, then there was another call from the Crown Prince of Bahrain to move it to Malaysia. The relationship was there and it's sending a message that, you know, like with all of this, we still will have motorsport." Ben Sulayem added that the FIA had contingency measures in place in case of any travel disruption, such as leaning on local ASNs for any volunteers and officials to help facilitate the running of the events. He used the example of the Lebanese round of the FIA Middle East Rally Championship, which ultimately rebooted this year's series. This was staffed by officials from Cyprus, Greece, and Jordan - before the Cypriot round concluded this year's championship when the Saudi Arabian round was cancelled. "Of course, the FIA is always ready. I told them to have another team ready from the FIA if there was nothing going on. But maybe some of the governments say, you cannot travel - so what do we do? "If everybody is there and then the teams are there and the FOM is running it and suddenly we say, oh, we cannot have our race director, we cannot have our stewards. You have to be ready, and you have to have another team ready in case. "We have also the common sense here that we will never take our staff or drivers or any officials to a place where we feel it is risky," he concluded. Ben Sulayem added that the prospect of the 2027 Dakar Rally was uncertain, but suggested that it could be moved to Morocco if it is unable to host the race in Saudi Arabia.
