Max Verstappen will compete in a specially staged event at Silverstone, driving one of 101 identical karts sourced from Eastern Europe. The other 100 karts will be piloted by content creators and Red Bull athletes who all start ahead of him, and Verstappen must overtake and eliminate each one across 30 laps to win. The event follows similar but smaller stunts by other F1 drivers like Alex Albon and Oliver Bearman.
Formula 1 followed its Monza weekend—where Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli became the first Italian in 60 years to win the Italian Grand Prix—with a debut race on a new street circuit in Madrid.

Apple confirmed it is increasing the monthly price of Apple TV from $12.99 to $14.99, and raising the cost of the Apple One Individual bundle as well.

Other Apple One tiers, already adjusted when Apple Music prices rose last month, remain unchanged.

Williams also announced it is keeping both Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz.
