    Now they are gonna press Sainz to make a decision with the Alpine drivers as a back up. Bottas could go to Haas if they replace KMag.
    Bearman will get the other Haas seat

    Aston Martin F1 is already on their sports brands page. Must already be a smaller stakeholder.

    Formula E passes Formula 1 as early as 2025 with new cars
    Story by [email protected] (GPBlog)
    • 9h • 2 min read

    [​IMG]

    After the start of the Gen3 era in the 2022 season, it is now time for a new generation of cars in Formula E. Today, Formula E together with the FIA unveiled the new car: the GEN3 Evo.

    What has changed about the car?
    Numerous changes have been made to the Gen3 cars to make them even faster and more durable. For example, the new GEN3 Evo is currently the fastest accelerating FIA single-seater race car, with a top speed of 321 km/h. Faster, in other words, than F1.

    The GEN3 Evo can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.86 seconds. The car is faster, more powerful and more agile, thanks to performance upgrades that deliver an estimated 2% performance gain over the GEN3.

    In terms of durability, many changes have also been made. The GEN3 Evo is the most efficient formula car ever, with an electric motor achieving over 90% efficiency. This is significantly higher than the typical 40% efficiency for internal combustion engines.

    It is also the world's first carbon-neutral race car in the world's first carbon-neutral sport.

    "The FIA and Formula E have worked hard on the development process of this new GEN3 Evo race car, which represents another significant leap forward in electric racing technology," said Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the FIA, about the new generation.

    Jeff Dodds, director of Formula E, is also excited about the future this car will bring. "With unprecedented acceleration and advanced aerodynamic design, the car I was privileged to unveil in Monaco is poised to intensify the excitement of our racing and captivate our drivers and fans around the world with truly superior capabilities and performance."

    Bad news for Aston Martin and Ferrari as Adrian Newey's complex contract details surface - Reports
    Story by Akshat Kabra
    • 8h • 2 min read


    Recent reports claim that Adrian Newey's complex contract with Red Bull could force the likes of Ferrari and Aston Martin to wait for the aero wizard for several years.

    On Thursday, April 25, several reports emerged about Newey deciding to leave Red Bull. These rumors have surfaced before, but recent ones have come from reputed sources. The reports also claimed, though, that Newey has not officially spoken to Red Bull senior management or handed them a resignation letter.
    These strong rumors sparked debate about which F1 team could lure the great car designer. As of now, many believe that Newey could either join Ferrari or Aston Martin.

    Ferrari could try to attract Adrian Newey by showcasing a star driver lineup of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Meanwhile, Aston Martin CEO Lawrence Stroll could flex his bank account and the team's new ambitious project. A few reports also speculate that Toto Wolff could lure Newey to join Mercedes as well.

    Reports from Motorsport.com claim, however, that Newey's current contract with Red Bull has complex details which could prevent rivals from poaching the aero wizard immediately.

    Responding to Newey's rumored departure, Red Bull made a statement on Thursday saying that the Brit has a contract that locks him in the team until 2025. Motorsport.com's report added that there are a few incomplete clauses in his contract that could lock him into the Austrian team for another year beyond that.

    This means that he could be inaccessible to any other team until 2027. Furthermore, by that time, Adrian Newey would already be touching 70 and could be looking to retire from motorsports altogether after a massively successful career.

    Red Bull's official statement addressing Adrian Newey's rumored exit
    As mentioned earlier, Red Bull recently dismissed rumors of Adrian Newey leaving and joining another team anytime soon.

    The rumors of the legendary aero wizard leaving the Austrian team have engulfed the F1 space. However, speaking to Sportskeeda, a Red Bull spokesperson stated that Newey has a contract with the defending world champions until 2025. The spokesperson added that the team is unaware of him joining any of their rivals.

    "Adrian is contracted until at least the end of 2025, and we are unaware of him joining any other team," the Austrian team's spokesperson said.
    Adrian Newey has been with Red Bull since 2006. He designed some of the most dominant F1 cars for the team, allowing Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen to dominate the sport from 2010 to 2013, and 2022 to 2024, respectively.

    New sorry for partying meme
    New Lando Norris picture reveals true extent of facial ‘injury’ from Amsterdam party

    Lando Norris looks almost unrecognisable after sustaining a facial injury while partying in Amsterdam

    Underneath the mummy bandages and the flecks of blood lay the true extent of Lando Norris’ facial injury and we can safely say, as per Dr. Google, a little cut on his nose will not keep him out of the Miami Grand Prix.

    Enjoying an off-week in Formula 1’s hectic 24-race schedule, Norris spent some time in Amsterdam where he partied on a boat to celebrate Koningsdag (King’s Day)

    I’m just to the point in his book where he joined McLaren, a little over half way. As someone whose favorite part of this series is the technical aspects that is a really great read. Or listen, in my case.

    New Aston Martin tower in Miami looks like Bond villain’s lair
    [​IMG]
    By Dean Murray via SWNS

    Hello Mr. Bond, I've been expecting you.

    An incredible new Aston Martin residential tower looks like a villain's lair from a 007 movie.

    The 66-storey tower is the tallest all-residential building south of New York.

    Aston Martin Residences Miami is the first ultra-luxury real estate project from Bond's favorite car brand.

    New Aston Martin tower in Miami looks like Bond villain’s lair appeared first on Talker.

    Situated on the coveted Miami waterfront, the project has garnered excitement amongst ultra-luxury home buyers, with 99% of the 391 condominiums sold ahead of completion.

    The development boasts seven penthouses - all of which enjoy private pools and spacious terraces – complimented by a range of expansive one to five-bedroom residences and duplexes.

    The jewel in the crown is the $59m “Unique Triplex Penthouse” – a magnificent three-floor condominium, spanning a total of 27,191 square feet of living space, situated at the pinnacle of the property.

    There is a private butler service on-call 24/7 to "take the stress out of home management" by offering luxury travel support and a host of other services to homeowners. Residents are also able to enjoy direct access to an exclusive superyacht marina.

    Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin said: “Melding a captivating design aesthetic with one of the city’s most idyllic locations, on one of the last parcels of the Miami waterfront, the ultra-luxury Aston Martin Residence adds further distinction to the already expressive Miami skyline. We think this project firmly sets the mark for luxury residential design around the world."
