Verstappen dismisses sore critics of 2021 title win as cost cap outcome looms | 2022 Mexican Grand Prix
Max Verstappen isn’t concerned about criticism his 2021 world championship win may receive in light of the controversy over Red Bull exceeding the budget cap last year. The FIA announced earlier this month Red Bull was the only team which had exceeded the $145 million spending limit which was imposed last year, and one of three teams which had committed a “procedural” breach of the regulations. The governing body has invited Red Bull to enter an Accepted Breach Agreement under which it would admit to the violation of the rules and accept a penalty. Claims that Red Bull had breached the cap first surfaced almost a month ago. Verstappen admitted the focus on the topic has been “a bit frustrating.” He indicated the team may have breached the cap due to a disagreement over what items were and were not included within the limit. “From our side we feel we are not wrong,” said Verstappen, “but just some things are taken into the budget cap which are very unexpected. We’ll have to deal with it. But it’s also not up to me to decide what is right.” Red Bull will hold a press conference at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez tomorrow to discuss the budget cap. An agreement between the team and the FIA is believed to be close. One possible penalty for Red Bull’s breach is a reduction in the number of hours of aerodynamic development work the team is permitted to conduct for the 2023 F1 season. Verstappen refused to be drawn on how significantly that could affect the team. “We don’t know until the things are decided,” he said, “but also these things I’m not involved with.” Last year’s world championship was decided in a controversial finale in Abu Dhabi when FIA F1 race director Michael Masi broke the rules in arranging a last-lap restart, after which Verstappen passed Lewis Hamilton to win the title. Months of recriminations followed during which Masi lost his job and the entire race control set-up was overhauled. Verstappen expects the same people who questioned his title win last year will also seize upon the budget cap row. “They are sore anyway so it doesn’t matter what they say or what you do,” he said. “I can [brush it off]. Probably they can’t and they will never be able to so that’s a problem for them to deal with.” Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free 2022 Mexican Grand Prix Browse all 2022 Mexican Grand Prix articles via RaceFans - Independent Motorsport Coverage https://www.racefans.net/

annoying little brothers | f1
female driver x f1 drivers (platonic) (same age as daniel so 33)
part 2 part 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Y/N L/N BEING THE FUNNIEST DRIVER ON THE GRID
The video starts of with a press conference from the United States Grand Prix. Y/n was seated with Charles, Pierre, Daniel and Sebastian her being in the middle of all the men who she considered her brothers.
She was listening to all the questions the men were receiving from how they thought they were going to do, how’s the team doing, etc. But when a reported finally asked her a question, she completely blanked.
“Sorry, I was just thinking about my son. We were supposed to get breakfast together and he hasn’t texted me back. I haven’t seen Lando all day.” Y/‘ said making the drivers and reporters laugh.
“When did you adopt Lando? I wasn’t aware.” Daniel played along.
“2019. He was actually lost when I met him. It was during the Australian Grand Prix, his first f1 race. I found him and we did the Melbourne walk together and I’ve just kind of adopted ever since. So if any of you bully my son, I’m coming after you.” Y/n explained.
“He’s probably texting you right now saying ‘stop embarrassing me, mom!’” Sebastian went on.
“Wait, he’s over there!” Pierre spotted the Brit rushing towards their direction.
“He’s alive!” Charles cheered.
Finally, Lando arrived to their interview area with a box from a a bakery in his hand. “Sorry, I have to drop this off. We’ll get breakfast tomorrow. I got you pastries.” Lando gave Y/n the box and a hug then he was off since he was late for his interview.
“You’ve raised your son well.” The reporter joked.
“That was all me, I needed no help.”
Tumblr media
The next clip was a fan video from 2021. Y/n had just finished her date with a guy and now she was signing autographs and taking photos with a group of girls. The girls had just finished their meals at a restaurant when they spotted the f1 driver leaving with a guy. The politely asked for a photo, which y/n was more than glad to take. Her date stepped aside to give them a moment.
“Sorry to interrupt your date.” A girl apologized for her and all her friends.
“Nothing to be sorry about, honey. I’m actually nervous because I don’t know how the date went. I’m horrible at first dates so this is kinda making me less stressed.” Y/n admitted. The girls laughed as y/n signed a girls phone case.
“Has he met Lando?” Another girl asked knowing how close y/n and lando are.
“Not yet. I’m afraid that Lando might scare him off. Everyone on the grid might, especially seb. He will definitely give him one of those ‘treat her right or I will run you over’ speeches.” Y/n signed another phone case.
“Does he knows you’re famous?”
“Oh god, no! I told him I was unemployed and that a sugar daddy was giving me money. I’m surprised he still agreed to come on this date with me.” Y/n chuckled.
Months later, the guy ended up being y/n’s boyfriend. He even attended the British Grand Prix where he finally met Lando, who was actually the one to tell him to treat y/n right or he would run him over.
Tumblr media
The next clip started off with the intro to grill the grid. The challenge was to guess the driver’s numbers, something that y/n was semi confident about.
“So we start off with my man, Danny, number three.” She wrote down on her clipboard. “Four, my son, Lando. Also ever since I met Lando I’ve been seeing the number four quite often. It’s scary actually. Can’t decide if Lando put a curse on me or not.”
“Would he do that?”
“He shouldn’t,” y/n raised her voice slightly. “Anyways, next is … oh! Seb! I don’t know why I couldn’t think of him right away. Then we have latifi at number six then kimi at seven.” She continued writing down the names.
“Nine ….Mazepin.” She fought the urge to roll her eyes since her and the driver were never on good terms.
“Ten, my favorite frenchie well one of, we treat everyone nice here, gasly.” Y/n winked at the camera. “Eleven, the mexican minister of defense, Perez. And then we have me! Thirteen!”
“Do you think Lando got your number right?”
“I don’t doubt him ever.”
“Thirteen, my mother! Everyone better get that right.” Lando pointed at the camera menacingly.
“Fourteen, Alonzo. Sixteen, Leclerc Charles. Eighteen, stroll and twenty two!” Y/n sang the number in the tune of taylor swift’s song. “Yuki! Thirty one, Esteban, my other frenchie. Thirty three, max does he have a middle name verstappen.”
“Have you noticed that you haven’t gotten any wrong yet?”
“I’m just the best, that’s why.” Y/n laughed. “Forty four, the seven time world champion, sir lewis hamilton. Fourty seven, mick mick mick. I love to say his name.”
Y/n had completely forgotten she had to be writing the names down. She was having too much fun.
“Fifty five, carlos smooth operator sainz jr. sixty three, the man with two first names, russell george.” Y/n said as she looked down at the numbers on the paper.
“Do you know his middle name?”
Y/n gasped. “Is it another first name?”
“I believe it’s William.”
“Three names!? It sounds so british.” Y/n chuckled. “Um, seventy seven valtteri, right?” Y/n saw the interviewer nod. “I was getting worried my streak would be broken. And ninety nine, antonio!”
“You got all of them!” Everyone in the room cheered.
“Did anyone else get them all?” Y/n asked.
“Daniel did.”
“Of course. He’s good with numbers.”
Tumblr media
The next clip was from the same grill the grid video but it was a blooper. Lando had arrived right as y/n finished filming and handed her a water bottle.
“Did you get my number?” Lando asked curiously.
“Yeah, ninety five, right? Cause you’re a McQueen fan.” Y/n teased as she grabbed the bottle from lando’s hand.
“Yeah, you remembered!” Lando played along “how did she really do?” He asked.
“She got them all right.”
“Really? I’ve got a smart mother!” Lando high fived the woman.
“It’s because I’ve got a photographic memory.” Y/n nodded with the most serious face on.
“Do you really?” Lando asked. He was surprised to hear that.
“No, I just love to lie.”
Tumblr media
The next clip started with Daniel and Lando standing next to boards with their 2022 rankings. As predicted, Daniel and Lando’s part of the interview was mostly filled with them drawing over each other’s pictures.
Daniel them knocked over Lando’s rankings to the ground. “That’s how I feel.”
“That was the worst timing ever. Y/n is walking this way.” Lando told Daniel, who immediately picked up the board.
“Are those your rankings?” Y/n asked as she approached the duo. She then noticed that the setup and quickly apologized to the camera man. “Sorry, I’m just curious now.”
“Are you proud of me?” Lando asked, standing next to her and throwing his arm over her shoulder.
“When am I not? Wait, except that time you pushed me into my birthday cake.” Y/n pinched his side. “Can I see the pen?” She asked the guys, Lando gave her his.
“She’s adding to our masterpieces. This piece will be worth millions years from now.” Daniel said.
Y/n then scribbled little stars around Lando’s head and then signed it at the top. “Actually you both look great in your pictures. Did they use photoshop?”
“Excuse me, this is all natural.”
Tumblr media
“Y/n! Hi, hello. What’s going on here?” Martin brundle asked the woman as she walked with her mom and pr manager, Lucy.
“Martin! It’s been a while, nothing much. How are you?” Y/n hugged the former racing driver. “This is my mom, she’s been wanting to meet you.”
“Mrs. l/n, hello. Welcome, how are you?” Martin greeted the older woman.
“Great. I’m here supporting my girl. It’s been a wonderful weekend.” Y/n’s mom smiled.
“Are you aware that you have a grandson that drives for McLaren?” Martin asked making all three ladies laugh.
“Yes, Lando is a very lovely young man.”
“How does it feel to have a daughter and grandson in f1?” Martin asked in a serious tone.
“Amazing. I’m super proud of both of them.”
“Thank you ladies for your time. Have a wonderful day.” Martin smiled at them, but before he could leave, y/n gave him a hug goodbye.
“Take care, Martin!” Y/n waved to the man and left with her mom and Lucy.
“She wins everything. Give her all the trophies. Everything is hers.” Martin said to the camera.
Tumblr media
The final clip was consisted of y/n after a race getting interviewed.
“Do you often see your father?” Someone asked from the back.
“No, actually we’re just good friends.”
“What’s your opinion on the president of the United States?” Asked the same person.
“I don’t think about him.”
“What’s going on between max verstappen and lewis hamilton?”
“I don’t know, I just work here.”

The "It" Girl | 4
Tumblr media
summary: Being a rookie in the world of Formula One comes with challenges, added on with the fact you’re a girl, American and racing for Red Bull doesn’t help. While you do have your “guard dogs” and “it girl” tendencies, it doesn’t help that you’re also trying to figure out romance.
pairing: 2021 grid x fem! driver, lando norris x fem! driver reader
warnings: sexism, alcohol consumption, toxic environments, uncomfortable situations
Previously: “Now Y/n, what happened last night?” Lewis softly asks, sitting on the edge of the bed.
You could feel your stomach drop, blood rushing to your ears as you recall the events of last night. You glance up at Lewis, your look giving everything away to him.
LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO
“Lewis, I…” You start, your voice sounding nervous. You take a moment to think about what you want to say.
“I think I ruined everything..” You say, taking a deep breath. “Between Lando and me that is..” A look of sorrow and remorse comes across your face as you think about the events of last night.
Lewis looks back at you with a soft and sympathetic look on his face. “Let me guess… last night it was the booze talking.” He mumbles out.
You nod your head in response.
“I felt like I needed to drink, actually enjoy myself for once..” You mumble out, “And I didn’t know what to do, Carlos was just there, nothing happened..I guess we were pretty touchy but that was all”
Lewis stays silent for a few seconds, just thinking about everything you have said.
“Have you said anything to Lando yet?” Lewis asks. You shake your head no, your stomach beginning to tighten again.
“No, because I don’t know what to say.” You confess.
“You don’t need to say anything right now, just give yourself some time.” Lewis says, he puts his hand on your leg to reassure you.
“The worst thing is..it was with Carlos, Lando and Carlos…they’re so close, and I’m pretty sure I ruined that..” You say, voice cracking
Lewis looks down at you with an understanding expression on his face. “Y/n.. I know this isn’t exactly what you want to hear, and it’s probably the last thing you’re wanting to hear right now…” Lewis says to you, his tone sounding sympathetic once again.
“But if Lando genuinely cares about you and wants to be with you.. he will forgive you for whatever you did last night.” Lewis tells you.
“I guess..” You mumble out, “It was weird Lewis…Carlos kind of put himself onto me, and made me drink..at least that’s how I felt”
Lewis looks at you, his expression remaining soft and understanding. “Y/n that’s not good, that’s not good at all…..” Lewis says to you.
“I’ll have a word with Carlos, I’ll sort it out with him, don’t you worry about any of this, okay?” Lewis says, his voice sounding reassuring.
“Thank you Lew” You say, hugging him you bury your head into his chest. Lewis wraps his arms around you, hugging you back. He takes a moment to think about what he wants to say next.
“Y/n I’m gonna head out now, I’ll go have a word with Carlos, but make sure you get some rest okay? Don’t be too hard on yourself…”
Lewis walks out of the room, and Alex wakes up, looking over at you. “Y/n you alright?” He asks, his voice sounding sleepy and concerned. “Yeah I’ll be okay” You say softly, happy to have such a great support system
“Look, I’m gonna try and go back to sleep. Will you be alright?” He asks. “Yeah I’ll be fine” You reply softly, curling up into bed once more.
The week passes, and before you know it you’re arriving at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez track for the Mexican Grand Prix.
You check your phone quickly, but don’t see any messages from Lando. A small frown etches itself onto your face, but it was expected. You did fuck up.
You walk into the paddock with your manager Elliot, waving and giving a smile to the photographers, briefly talking to the media and of course signing some stuff for fans.
As you walk around the venue interacting with fans, taking pictures, and doing interviews you notice the atmosphere changing slightly. You feel a pair of eyes on you. Looking towards the direction of the stare you see Lando standing there.
He’s looking at you with a blank expression, barely noticing the sadness in his eyes. You can see his lips moving as he’s talking to a reporter. You give Lando a faint smile, continuing your walk to the Red Bull garage.
Time passes, the weekend is already halfway over, and now it’s race day.
You’ll be starting P5 on the grid, Lando in P6, with Max P1 of course.
Nerves settle into your stomach, but so does adrenaline, knowing you could get on podium again. The lights go, and you could make out the “Lights out and away we go!”
Reacting quickly you have a good start, overtaking Charles Leclerc who was starting P4.
After a phenomenal race, you finish P3. Max crosses the finish line in P1. Lando finishes the race just behind you, in P4. The podium happens, and you find yourself standing on the podium again, but this time not as excited. As the Dutch national anthem starts playing, you stand there solemnly, thinking of what happened in the club.
After the ceremony you head towards the post race conference room, once again with Lewis and Max. Soon Lewis is sat in between you and Max, as you three await questions from the reporters. Lewis smiles at you and you smile back.
One of the reporters ask, “Y/n, how does it feel to finish in the top three for two consecutive races?”
“It feels great, the car is good, we have good pace” You say with a polite smile, not having the energy you normally do. The reporter nods in agreement, then moves on with another question.
“Max, how does it feel taking the P1 spot again?” The reporter asks, as Max sits to your right. Max chuckles. “It feels amazing to get my eighth win for the season.” Max says with a grin.
You take a sip from my Red Bull, leaning back in your seat as you three wait for the next question. The next reporter speaks up and has a question for you specifically: “Y/n, does it feel weird to be so close in the points to Lando? Only seven points away in the drivers standing”.
“No I don’t think it’s weird, it’s good to have a healthy rivalry” You answer with an awkward smile. The reporters smile at your answer, before one reporter asks Max a question. “Is the championship now yours?” The reporter asks.
Max chuckles as he answers “It definitely could be, I won’t give up on the fight for it.”
After the conference is over, Lewis leans over to you and whispers something. You lean towards Lewis, waiting for him to tell you what it is. Lewis smiles at you before whispering. “I talked to Carlos… everything is fine now.” Lewis says in a reassuring tone. You nod your head in response, a weight being lifted off your shoulders.
“Lewis…” You whisper. “Yes Y/n?” Lewis asks back, his tone sounding concerned. “Thank you for helping..” You whisper.
Lewis nods his head, the smile returning to his face. “Yeah, of course.” Lewis says with a smile
Once some reporters start to leave, you get up.
Walking with Max back to the Red Bull garage as Lewis goes his separate way to the Mercedes garage. Max is ahead of you, and you can notice he’s a bit lost in thought as well. “Hey Max..” You say, your voice being gentle and sincere as you catch up to him.
Max turns to look at you, a surprised expression on his face. “Yeah Y/n?” Max says, not entirely sure how to reply to your kindness and tone. “Thanks.. for..” You trail off. “For not leaving me behind, for talking to me.” You continue, not entirely sure what else to say to him.
“And for being supportive, I know you get a bad rep but thank you” You smile at him appreciatively, happy to have him, Alex and Lewis as support in your rookie season.
Max smiles at you, and without being asked, he wraps an arm around you. You feel yourself smile back, before looking up at him.
“Are we okay?” You ask him, your voice sounding nervous as you recall the night of the club. Max looks at you, his expression becoming soft and understanding again. “Yeah, yeah we’re okay.” Max tells you. “Let’s just go get that first spot in the constructors championship.” Max nods his head, a small grin appearing on his face. “I don’t think that would be too difficult” You say with a laugh
Max nods his head, letting out a small chuckle. After a few seconds of silence, Max speaks once again.
“He misses you” Max says, not looking at you when he says this. “Yeah I miss him too” You say with a soft smile as you both finally reach the Red Bull garage.
“Y/n I need a word with you” Elliot your manager says, pulling you near a more secluded area in the garage. “What's up?” You ask nervously, not sure if it has to do with the club.
“There's a uh..PR stunt we want to do…” Elliot says, looking a bit nervous as he says this.
Twenty minutes later you found out what it was. “We want you two to fake a relationship” Charlotte, Landos PR manager, repeats. Since Lando and you are not quite grasping the situation.
Now you would be happy about being asked to do this, but Lando hasn't said a word to you, looked at you or even acknowledged you. Lewis was dead wrong.
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Lando asks again, it had to be the seventh time he asked.
“The fans love you guys together, and it’ll boost attention, Christian and Zak are all for it” Elliot says, looking up from the tablet he always has on hand.
“Fine whatever” Lando grumbles out, rolling his eyes as he crosses his hand over his chest.
“Y/n? Any input?” Charlotte asks you, clearly not happy with Landos lack of conversation.
“No, I’ll do it” You say quickly, just wanting to leave and go back to the hotel.
“Great! So the first stunt is to go to the Moondrop club and just publicly display yourselves as a couple” Charlotte says with a smile.
You and Lando walk side by side back to the parking lot and to his McLaren in silence. Glancing over at him you can tell he doesn’t want to be doing this.
He unlocks the doors to his car and gets into the drivers side, starting the car before you even get into the passengers side.
He pulls out of the parking lot and starts the drive to the club. “So…” You mumble out, glancing over at him.
“I’m sor-“ You’re instantly cut off by him, “Shut up, I don’t need to hear your excuses Y/n” Lando snaps out, his hands squeezing the steering wheel.
You nod your head, feeling yourself grow numb at his outburst, but in all fairness, you deserved it.
After a painfully awkward silent drive through the streets it was finally time to arrive at the club.
As you two exited the car you heard the sound of hundreds of phones snapping pictures of you two together. “Take my hand” Lando mumbles out, quickly grabbing your hand and entwining your fingers together.
As you get closer to the entrance of the club, Lando puts on a smile, you copy him. The flash photography only got more intense at the sight of you two smiling and holding hands.
Once inside of the club Lando instantly breaks his hand from yours, rolling his eyes he leaves you near the entrance, walking off to the bar.
A shiver of sadness runs up your spine, but you remind yourself, you deserved it.
You glance around the club, noticing Charles, Max and Danny sitting at a booth taking some shots.
You opt to sit by yourself in a tucked away booth. You lean your head into your hand, boredom already consuming you.
Lando walks over to you, sliding into the booth next to you, throwing his arm over your shoulder, “Not as fun when you don’t have Carlos all over you?” Lando lowly says.
You don’t even bother replying, not wanting to deal with petty Lando. You hear him scoff at your silence. He hands you the drink in his hand, “It’s a vodka red bull”
It was your favorite drink, he had the audacity to be an asshole to you, yet get your favorite drink.
You roll your eyes, taking the drink, you sip on some of it.
“Just don’t get too drunk you end up making out with Daniel” He says, his voice full of venom.
Hearing that you instantly pull away from him, “You’re such a fucking….!”
“Shut up and kiss me” Lando cuts you off, pulling you into him once again.
“No! You don’t get to just tell me what to do!” You say, “Someone’s filming just fucking do it” He growls out, snaking his hand into your hair and pulling you into him.
Before you know it his lips are on yours, you instantly wrap your arms around his neck, leaning your body into his.
But just as it started, it ended. He pulls away from you completely.
“They stopped filming” He mumbles out, still keeping his arm over your shoulder.
Your heart drops, “Right” You weakly mumble out.

― THE SHORT HISTORY OF VALERIA
Growing up in East LA, Valeria Sofía Ortiz hasn’t always had it easy.
With her mother leaving her at a young age, Valeria and her father had to fend for themselves early on. Her father, Alvaro Hernández Ortiz, only wanted the best life he could afford for his little angel, so he said goodbye to the gang life and opened up a mechanics shop.
Valeria developed an interest in the art of cars while helping out in her father’s shop and quickly found herself drawn to everything surrounding it. Noticing his daughter’s curiosity, Alvaro decided  to bring her out on the karting track for fun. However, he was surprised to find Valeria driving around the track in top speed and condition.
After that, he gave it his all to ensure his daughter’s return and started scavenging the scrap yards for kart parts while Valeria went around doing mini jobs, like lawn-mowing, to earn extra money to afford karting.
Facing a lot of issues as she climbed up the karting ladder, Valeria never backed down from a fight and oftentimes got into trouble because of it. But that didn’t stop her from dominating the track, gaining lots of attention from the media and the motorsport.
That’s when Toto Wolff noticed the girl, travelling to LA to check out the young racer and realising what potential she held. Becoming part of the Mercedes Junior Team, more and more opportunities opened up for Valeria as she entered the Formula world.
As she drove her way through Formula 3 and 2, she eventually got offered a seat at the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team alongside 7x world champion, Lewis Hamilton.
Navigating her life as one of the top 20 drivers of the world, Valeria is met with new challenges and obstacles being thrown at her…

Louis Tomlinson to Livestream FOR EVERY QUESTION WHY Mexico City Concert
Louis will be the first male solo artist to headline the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez venue, which is the home of the Mexican F1 Grand Prix.
By: Josh Sharpe | May. 20, 2024
In a landmark event for fans around the world, British singer/songwriter Louis Tomlinson is set to perform one night only at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez - Curva 4 in Mexico City on Saturday, June 1, 2024. Louis will be the first male solo artist to headline the venue, which is the home of the Mexican F1 Grand Prix.
As part of his 'Faith In The Future World Tour’, the show is the culmination and the final stadium show of two back-to-back world tours that have sold over 1.5M tickets and taken Louis to 47 countries across 5 continents. Louis Tomlinson - For Every Question Why: Live and Direct from Mexico City will air LIVE on Veeps, offering fans around the world exclusive access to the first concert Louis has ever streamed in front of an in-person crowd.
The livestream will be directed by Grammy-nominated and Emmy award-winning director Sam Wrench, who has earned wide acclaim for his work on Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour film as well as Billie Eilish: Live at the O2. Individual tickets are on sale for $16.99 HERE. To cater to the timezones of a truly global fanbase, there will be two opportunities for fans to gather on the streams — a livestream direct from the show at approximately 8pm PDT / 9pm CST (Mexico)* on Saturday, June 1 and an encore broadcast on Sunday, June 2 at 6pm BST / 7pm CET.* The encore broadcast will include exclusive backstage and bonus footage not included in the first livestream.
Louis will be partnering with War Child UK for the livestream and donating a portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold. War Child UK is committed to ensuring a safe future for every child affected by war. With 30 years of experience, they work with local communities and governments to protect, educate, and support children in war zones, aiming to reach them quickly and stay long after the crisis has passed. War Child creates safe spaces for children to play, learn, and heal, advocating for their rights and amplifying their voices.
Veeps and Louis have partnered a number of times since Veeps’ inception, each time crafting unique and heartfelt experiences for fans tuning in — from his 2020 Live From London lockdown performance that brought together 160,000 fans for the biggest livestream concert ever held by a solo male artist, to an airing of his feature-length documentary All of Those Voices coupled with a live red carpet cross and intimate Q&A. (In a show of the closeness of Louis’s fans, the stream generated an enormous 30,000 chat messages amongst those that tuned in.)
Louis’s journey from global superstardom with One Direction to solo success has been marked by a series of bold, creative choices, kicking off with his debut album, Walls, which has sold over 1.5 million copies. Its 2022 follow up, Faith in the Future, went to No.1 in the UK, Spain and Belgium, and Top 5 in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe. In 2021, Louis was listed in the Guinness Book Of World Records for breaking the record for the most live streamed concert by a solo male artist, hosting one of the biggest live stream concert events ever held, selling over 160,000 tickets to fans in over 110 countries and raising funds for several important charities.

Louis will be the first male solo artist to headline the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez venue, which is the home of the Mexican F1 Grand Prix.
May 20th 2024 | by Josh Sharpe
In a landmark event for fans around the world, British singer/songwriter Louis Tomlinson is set to perform one night only at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez - Curva 4 in Mexico City on Saturday, June 1, 2024. Louis will be the first male solo artist to headline the venue, which is the home of the Mexican F1 Grand Prix.
As part of his 'Faith In The Future World Tour’, the show is the culmination and the final stadium show of two back-to-back world tours that have sold over 1.5M tickets and taken Louis to 47 countries across 5 continents. Louis Tomlinson - For Every Question Why: Live and Direct from Mexico City will air LIVE on Veeps, offering fans around the world exclusive access to the first concert Louis has ever streamed in front of an in-person crowd.
The livestream will be directed by Grammy-nominated and Emmy award-winning director Sam Wrench, who has earned wide acclaim for his work on Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour film as well as Billie Eilish: Live at the O2. Individual tickets are on sale for $16.99 HERE. To cater to the timezones of a truly global fanbase, there will be two opportunities for fans to gather on the streams — a livestream direct from the show at approximately 8pm PDT / 9pm CST (Mexico)* on Saturday, June 1 and an encore broadcast on Sunday, June 2 at 6pm BST / 7pm CET.* The encore broadcast will include exclusive backstage and bonus footage not included in the first livestream.
Louis will be partnering with War Child UK for the livestream and donating a portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold. War Child UK is committed to ensuring a safe future for every child affected by war. With 30 years of experience, they work with local communities and governments to protect, educate, and support children in war zones, aiming to reach them quickly and stay long after the crisis has passed. War Child creates safe spaces for children to play, learn, and heal, advocating for their rights and amplifying their voices.
Veeps and Louis have partnered a number of times since Veeps’ inception, each time crafting unique and heartfelt experiences for fans tuning in — from his 2020 Live From London lockdown performance that brought together 160,000 fans for the biggest livestream concert ever held by a solo male artist, to an airing of his feature-length documentary All of Those Voices coupled with a live red carpet cross and intimate Q&A. (In a show of the closeness of Louis’s fans, the stream generated an enormous 30,000 chat messages amongst those that tuned in.)
Louis’s journey from global superstardom with One Direction to solo success has been marked by a series of bold, creative choices, kicking off with his debut album, Walls, which has sold over 1.5 million copies. Its 2022 follow up, Faith in the Future, went to No.1 in the UK, Spain and Belgium, and Top 5 in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe. In 2021, Louis was listed in the Guinness Book Of World Records for breaking the record for the most live streamed concert by a solo male artist, hosting one of the biggest live stream concert events ever held, selling over 160,000 tickets to fans in over 110 countries and raising funds for several important charities.

Max Verstappen wins the championship for the third time 🫠
Tumblr media
Max Verstappen was crowned Formula One world champion for the third time, taking the title in the sprint of the Qatar Grand Prix on Saturday. Verstappen's victory was a moment that seemed inevitable since the first race of the season, when he led the grid of start to finish at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The 26-year-old, who has won 13 of 16 races so far this season, needed to finish sixth or better in the sprint, a shortened version of the traditional Sunday feature race that was introduced for the first time in the 2021 season, to obtain the title.
When his teammate, the Mexican Sergio Pérez (the only other driver who could challenge Verstappen for the championship), crashed on lap 11 of 19, it meant that he would not score any championship points, practically giving him the qualification.
With Verstappen qualifying third for the 100km race under the lights of the Lusail circuit and Perez five places behind at the start line, it seemed inevitable that Verstappen would successfully defend his title on Saturday.
McLaren's Oscar Piastri, who qualified on pole position, won a thrilling sprint involving three safety cars. His teammate Lando Norris was third, passing Mercedes' George Russell late in the race.
A season dominated from the first race
Hints of a possible fight within Red Bull itself began to emerge early in the season when Sergio Pérez and Verstappen shared two wins each after the first four races, but the Dutchman's record streak of 10 consecutive victories confirmed his absolute authority.
The team sealed its second consecutive constructors' championship at the Japanese Grand Prix last month with six races still remaining.
The team's car has been widely hailed as one of the best ever built in the sport, and in some ways it has proven even more successful than last year's model, which won 17 of 22 races.
When such an impressive car is driven by one of the all-time greats, as Verstappen is now, it is sporting alchemy.
"Everything he has done this year has been phenomenal," team manager Christian Horner told Sky Sports.
“He is the most competitive driver I have ever met. The determination with which he drives, the passion, the heart, the commitment and, of course, the abundance of skill he has, make him among the best." With this title, Verstappen joins the greats Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart , Niki Lauda, ​​Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna as three-time world champions of this sport.
Only five other drivers have won more world titles: Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Juan Manuel Fangio, Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel.

Formula 101
Tumblr media
Are you interested in Formula One? But you have no idea how it works? That's fine! This is a tricky sport after all and way more complex than one may think at first. So let's start with the basics.
#1 Constructors
In every season there are 10 constructor teams, consisting of two main drivers. Every team has a Team Principal, like Christian Horner for Red Bull or Zac Brown for McLaren. There are, of course, managers that are in charge of supervising and guiding. Race engineers who manage the races on the track and communicate with the drivers. There're many types like data, strategy... R&D Engineers that research and develop new car improvements. The designers, well, the name speaks for itself, they design and redesign the car in and out. Aerodynamicists are in charge of the correct functioning of the car's aerodynamics. Race mechanics are a godsend, if someone crashes during the free practices, they fix it. Most of the time.
With that out of the way, what are the names of the F1 teams?
Scuderia Ferrari
Red Bull Racing
Mercedes
Alpine
McLaren
Alfa Romeo
Haas
AlphaTauri
Aston Martin
Williams
#2 Drivers
Every team has two main drivers, so there should be 20 drivers in total. But that's not always the case. In case of an emergency, there are reserve drivers that will take their seats for one or the number of races necessary. These reserve drivers tend to be F2 drivers or sometimes F1 drivers, like George Russel for Mercedes in 2021 as he drove for Williams, and work for more than one team in the hopes of landing a seat.
This season's drivers are as follows:
Ferrari: Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz
McLaren: Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris
Red Bull Racing: Max Verstappen and Sergio "Checo" Pérez
Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton and George Russell
Alpine: Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon
Alfa Romeo: Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu
Haas: Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher
AlphaTauri: Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda
Aston Martin: Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll
Williams: Alex Albon and Nicholas Latifi
#3 Tracks
At the beginning of the year, F1 was supposed to run on 23 tracks but due to Russia's situation, its GP was removed from the 2022 calendar. F1 currently races on 22 different tracks all around the world throughout the season. The location of the Grand Prix can vary through the years. Take the France GP which hasn't been raced in the last decade until this season, as an example, or the South African Grand Prix which hasn't been held since 1993.
This year's (2022) calendar is:
Bahrain Grand Prix
Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
Australian Grand Prix
Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
Miami Grand Prix
Spanish Grand Prix
Monaco Grand Prix
Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Canadian Grand Prix
British Grand Prix
Austrian Grand Prix
French Grand Prix
Hungarian Grand Prix
Belgian Grand Prix
Dutch Grand Prix
Italian Grand Prix
Russian Grand Prix
Singapore Grand Prix
Japanese Grand Prix
United States Grand Prix
Mexican Grand Prix
Brazilian Grand Prix
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali reported via Sport bild that "There will be no more racing in Russia."
#4 Points
Points are earned by finishing the race in the top 10. The amount of points each driver receives depends on their position. The first place is awarded 25 points, the second place 18, and the third with 15 points. (4th= 12 pts, 5th= 10 pts, 6th= 8pts, 7th= 6 pts, 8th= 6 pts, 9th= 2 pts and 10th= 1 pt) One additional point is given to the driver with the fastest lap, as long as they finished inside the top 10.
In the case of a sprint, drivers can receive more points outside of the race. This time tho, only the top 8 will be awarded. The first place with 8 points, the second 7 and the third with 6, and so on until it reaches 1 point in the eighth place.
All these points are added together and at the end of the season, the driver with a bigger sum will win the drivers' championship.
For the constructors' championship, the points of their respective drivers will be added together and the team with the most points wins.

Vesti to make F1 practice debut for Mercedes at Mexican GP | 2023 Mexico City Grand Prix
Formula 2 title contender Frederik Vesti will make his debut in a Formula 1 race weekend by driving for Mercedes in practice at the Mexican Grand Prix. Vesti, who is part of Mercedes’ junior team, is expected to take over George Russell’s car for the first practice session. He drove a modern F1 car for the first time last year, when Mercedes called him up for the official post-season test at the Yas Marina circuit. All 10 teams are required to hand each of their cars to an inexperienced driver in at least one practice session over the course of the season. No team has publicly nominated any drivers for this yet, although rookie Nyck de Vries fulfilled the requirement for one of AlphaTauri’s cars at the season opener as he had yet to exceed the maximum limit of two grand prix starts. Vesti tested for Mercedes in Abu Dhabi last year The 21-year-old Danish racer is in his second season in F2. He spent ten races at the top of the standings before missing last weekend’s feature race at Spa-Francorchamps after crashing on his way to the grid. So far he has taken four wins and one pole position in 2023. Mercedes began backing Vesti’s career at the start of 2021, after he finished fourth in his rookie season of FIA Formula 3. Vesti finished in the same position in his sophomore campaign, taking one win, then in his rookie F2 year he also won a race and took a pole. He trails Theo Pourchaire by 12 points with six races remaining. If Vesti wins the title he would not be allowed to stay in the series next year.

Red Bull vs Ferrari
After 11 of the 22 races completed in the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, the top 4 drivers are from the leading 2 constructors of the season so far, Red Bull and Ferrari. Leading the way with 208 points is the 2021 FIA Formula 1 Champion Max Verstappen, Red Bull's lead driver, followed by rival, Charles Leclerc Ferrari's lead driver with 170 points. Sergio Perez is Red Bull's second driver coming in third with 151 points, followed by Carlos Sainz, Ferrari's second driver with 133 points.
After initial struggles, Red Bull has made a brilliant come back winning 6 races on the trot and 7 of the first 11 races. Despite 2 DNFs in the first 3 races, defending champion, Max Verstappen has won 6 races of the possible 11 and both sprint races held so far this season. He has also secured 3 fastest lap points. The Dutchman has finished on the podium 8 times and is looking in good form halfway through the season. Sergio Perez has been in top form alongside his teammate. Winning 1 race at the Monoco Grand Prix, the first win for him there after 12 years. The Mexican has finished on the podium a total of 6 times which has helped Red Bull be table toppers of the Constructors title so far this season.
Ferrari after starting strong, with 2 wins of the first 3 races of the season going to Charles Leclerc slipped; starting with bad luck followed by having multiple issues with their power unit. After multiple engine failures, the Scuderia had to resort to a new engine for Monegasque’s car for the Canadian Grand Prix which took him to the back of the grid. Despite the issues, Leclerc has won 3 races so far this season and finished on the podium a total of 5 times. The Monegasque has been on fire on Saturday's, registering 6 poles, highest by any driver this season. Teammate Carlos Sainz secured his maiden pole position and win at the British Grand Prix after having a poor start to the season. Despite finishing on the podium a total of 6 times, the 4 DNFs at Australia, Imola, Azerbaijan and Austria has hurt his season so far.
It was a statement race for Red Bull at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, finishing 1-2 for the first time since Malaysia 2016 at Ferrari’s home turf. But the prancing horse struck back by beating Verstappen at the Red Bull Ring which could potentially have been a 1-2 finish if it wasn't for Carlos Sainz engine failure.
It's clear that it is Red vs Blue this season and it will be fun to see what upgrades the 2 teams bring further in the season.
