The San Antonio Spurs and BWT Alpine Formula One Team have teamed up with global lifestyle brand New Era for a new headwear and clothing collection. The five-piece line combines key branding elements from both the Spurs and Alpine, showcasing the Spurs’ signature black, white, and silver color scheme. Fans and collectors can purchase the collection online, at the Paris Motor Show, and at Spurs and BWT Alpine Formula One Team pop-up stores during the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix event in Austin, TX.

Why the F1 Alpine team and the Spurs collaborated

F1 teams frequently partner and collaborate with other entities, such as with the Alpine F1 team’s one-time livery switch to promote Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine film during the Belgian Grand Prix in July. The Spurs and the F1 Alpine collaboration cross-promotes both teams. New Era has existing relationships with both teams, so it’s also a win for the lifestyle sporting apparel brand.

Carlos Sainz proposes penalty that could radically change F1 qualifying landscape
Carlos Sainz proposes grid penalty after Verstappen's qualifying crash in Austria

It's been nearly a week since George Russell won the Austrian Grand Prix at the famed Red Bull Ring, but there's still significant fallout following his pole-position win in Q3, courtesy of Spanish driver Carlos Sainz, who is proposing a severe penalty for drivers who trigger yellow and red flags during qualifying sessions.

For the uninitiated, the drama unfolded one day before the main event during Q3, when Red Bull's Max Verstappen crashed at the second-to-last corner on his final lap. The crash prompted a single-waved yellow flag, which Russell, who races for Mercedes-Benz, adhered to by lifting when passing through a single-waved yellow-flag zone, per F1's rulebook. Despite being forced to lift, Russell's final lap was more than good enough to earn him pole position.

Mercedes takes two podium spots in Austria Grand Prix 2026
Russell and Antonelli take two of the top spots while Verstappen spoils a top two finish
Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

700 meters above sea level and tucked back into the Styrian Hills sits the most vista-rich track in all of Formula 1's Grand Prix Circuit. The Austria Grand Prix took place early this morning for the US viewers, and it held a bevy of exciting moments and ended with a great day for Mercedes and the exact opposite for Ferrari, who were unable to repeat their Barcelona excellence to finish in fifth and eighth place. Of course, Cadillac and Aston Martin would have paid good money to have a day like Ferrari, with Cadillac collecting two DNF's and Aston Martin's Stoll couldn't finish the race yet again, leaving another disappointing, pointless weekend for the team. Mercedes was the clear winner as they pulled away from the pack and took the first and third podiums with Max Verstappen sandwiched in between them.

Porsche enters the classic 911 into the GT4 category
The iconic brand deepens their racing portfolio with classic edition
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

In the mid-2000s (I won't speculate as to the timing of The Fast and the Furious hype coincidence here...), a new phenomenon in racing launched to help the everyman get an opportunity to enter into a very exclusive culture: racing. The entire point of it was to offer a more accessible alternative to the super-expensive racing world, where customers could bring their love of racing to the streets for a little go-fast competition. Porsche has been in that world for a long time, and deepened their racing portfolio with a 911 version that will allow the lovers of the street-legal 911 to take it to the racing world with the new Porsche 911 GT4 R.

With the new race car based on the Porsche 911 GT3, we are taking our successful GT4 program to a new level. The combination of iconic 911 DNA and the tried-and-tested GT4 concept creates a unique offering in the market. - Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President, Porsche Motorsport
