Meanwhile, Red Bull featured Trackhouse Racing&#8217;s Connor Zilisch and Shane van Gisbergen on a custom can, and the Cadillac Formula 1 Activation team made promotional stops at Silverstone in the U.K. and across the automotive industry.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Ferrari Wasn&#8217;t Supposed to Be Fast at Silverstone. Nobody Told Hamilton.<\/h3>\n<p>Lewis Hamilton grabbed Sprint pole at his home British Grand Prix by just 0.011 seconds, shocking even his own team after Ferrari&#8217;s power unit concerns coming out of Austria. Ferrari did not expect to be competing for the front row at Silverstone. Neither did anyone else watching. After \u2018giving absolutely everything,\u2019 and despite starting from pole., he finished P2 after Antonelli. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Cadillac Showed Up to the British Grand Prix Draped in Red, White, and Blue<\/h3>\n<p>With the British GP landing on America&#8217;s 250th birthday, the Cadillac F1 team went full stars and stripes across the cars, helmets, garage, and team kit at Silverstone. Representing America this boldly on Formula 1&#8217;s biggest international stage is a massive statement for a first-year team still finding its footing on track, ensuring global audiences know exactly who they are racing for. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>HCadillac F1 Team  Livery in The Big Easy<\/h3>\n<p>Back home in the United States, the team is locking in that exact same message by displaying the special livery at the Cadillac Formula 1 Team x Jim Beam Pit Stop BBQ at the Essence Festival in New Orleans this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>24 Years. Six Championships. Scott Dixon Is Leaving Chip Ganassi.<\/h3>\n<p>The greatest IndyCar driver of his era turned down a multi-year extension from the only team he&#8217;s ever really known, with Arrow McLaren reportedly waiting on the other side. This isn&#8217;t just silly season shuffling. This is the end of the most important partnership in open-wheel racing history, and the ripple effects are just getting started.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Red Bull Just Put NASCAR&#8217;s Hottest Drivers on a Can. They Haven&#8217;t Done This Since 2011.<\/h3>\n<p>Trackhouse Racing&#8217;s Connor Zilisch and Shane van Gisbergen are the faces of Red Bull&#8217;s first NASCAR retail activation in 15 years, available exclusively at Circle K stores. Van Gisbergen just won at Sonoma. Zilisch is already being called the future of the sport. Red Bull picked the right moment to come back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Adele Walked Into McLaren&#8217;s Factory and Left a Certified F1 Fan.<\/h3>\n<p>The Grammy-winning superstar toured the McLaren Technology Centre, tried out the advanced simulator alongside Oscar Piastri, and ran radio checks that genuinely rivaled actual race engineers. Her teenage son originally got her into the sport through karting. Watching her authentic reaction is exactly how most people feel the first time discovering Formula 1.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>NASCAR Hasn&#8217;t Raced at Chicagoland Since 2019<\/h3>\n<p>The 1.5-mile oval in Joliet is back on the Cup schedule this weekend, and nearly half the field is showing up to a track they have essentially no data on. Unknown tracks plus hungry drivers looking to score a win equals unpredictable racing, and honestly, it&#8217;s going to be a total wildcard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Audi &#038; AUDI: One brand. Two completely different worlds.<\/h3>\n<p>Audi has officially declared the &#8220;global car&#8221; dead, stating that Western and Chinese driver tastes are too different for a single vehicle to work. To survive the split, the traditional four-ring brand will focus on classic luxury and physical controls for the West. Meanwhile, its ringless &#8220;AUDI&#8221; spinoff will build screen-heavy &#8220;smartphones on wheels,&#8221; with minimal interiors engineered exclusively for China. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>13 Cars. Over 70 Helmets. Jeff Gordon&#8217;s Entire Legacy Is Now on Display at Indy.<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>The IMS Museum opened a full exhibit dedicated to the Rainbow Warrior just before the Brickyard 400 returns, featuring artifacts that have never been shown publicly before, including a trophy from a bicycle race in 1976. If you think you already know Jeff Gordon&#8217;s story, this exhibit is about to fill in the chapters you didn&#8217;t know existed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Dale Earnhardt&#8217;s No. 3 Is Racing at Le Mans. On America&#8217;s 250th Birthday. <\/h3>\n<p>More than 30 historic NASCAR machines are taking to Circuit de la Sarthe, including the actual Goodwrench Lumina The Intimidator drove from 1992 to 1994. NASCAR history meeting Le Mans legend on the Fourth of July weekend. If that does not get your attention, nothing will.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>F1 Handed 22 Drivers Individual Lego Go-Karts at Silverstone.<\/h3>\n<p>Formula 1 has officially replaced its historic classic car parade with a fleet of 22 electric, Lego-themed minicars built from 28,000 bricks apiece and capable of hitting 18 mph. Aiming to recreate last year&#8217;s viral, brick-scattering chaos in Miami, the activation has triggered instant paddock friction. High-profile drivers have openly criticized trading motorsport tradition for a toy marketing stunt.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Rolls-Royce Celebrated the Red, White, and Blue for America&#8217;s 250th<\/h3>\n<p>The quintessentially British brand commissioned three bespoke Rollers for American clients: a Bohemian Red Cullinan, an English White Phantom, and an Iguazu Blue Ghost. North America is Rolls-Royce&#8217;s largest global market, which makes this feel less like a gesture and more like a very expensive thank you card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Rolls-Royce Unveiled a One-of-One Phantom Regatta<\/h3>\n<p>A bespoke Extended masterpiece debuted at the Festival of Speed, blending yachting heritage with a hand-painted watercolor gallery and a tidal-current starlight headliner. While the ultra-luxury house marks a historic triple anniversary at its Goodwood home, this nautical commission proves that Rolls-Royce&#8217;s customization capabilities remain entirely unmatched.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Maddi Gordon&#8217;s First Career Win Came Against Antron Brown. No Big Deal.<\/h3>\n<p>The Top Fuel rookie defeated a four-time NHRA world champion to claim her historic first career victory at Summit Motorsports Park. Taking out an absolute legend of the sport to secure your very first maiden trophy does not happen by accident. You do not get a better debut story than that, and she is clearly just getting started.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>IndyCar Driver. NASCAR Debut. Lime Rock. In a Truck.<\/h3>\n<p>Louis Foster is a full-time IndyCar driver, a former Indy NXT champion, and someone who has never turned a single lap in NASCAR. On July 11, he will climb into a Truck at one of the tightest road courses in the country. Putting a first-timer at Lime Rock in a heavy NASCAR machine is exactly the kind of chaos this series was built for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Silly Season Settled Down for a Minute. Marcus Armstrong Is Staying at Meyer Shank.<\/h3>\n<p>Armstrong signed a multiyear deal, shutting down speculation linking him to Scott Dixon&#8217;s vacant Ganassi seat. While his teammate Felix Rosenqvist recently delivered the team&#8217;s historic Indy 500 victory, Armstrong staying put provides the perfect foundation to hunt for his own breakthrough wins. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite starting from pole, Lewis Hamilton finished P2 behind Antonelli.
