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.

F1: Isack Hadjar fills the last vacant seat for the 2025 season
Hadjar is the most recent F1 promotion from the Red Bull Junior program
Izack Hadjar is the new Racing Bull driver for the F1 2025 season.

The Formula 1 driver shuffle is over, at least for now. In the last of three moves associated with the Red Bull Racing organization, Isack Hadjar was named Yuki Tsunoda's teammate on Red Bull's second F1 team, which is now called Racing Bulls.
Meet Isack Hadjar
Hadjar is the most recent promotion from the Red Bull Junior program to a seat in an F1 race car. The Junior platform, which Red Bull began in 2001, has now promoted nineteen young drivers. Among the earlier promotes are Daniel Ricciardo, Sebastian Vettel, and Max Verstappen.

Hadjar is 20 years old. He has driven for the Campos Racing team for two years and finished second in total points this year. The 2024 F2 Champion, Gabriel Bortoleto, was promoted earlier to drive for the Kick Sauber F1 team in 2025.

F1: Liam Lawson to take the seat on Red Bull, partnering with Max Verstappen
Red Bull has a deep racing organization with many promising drivers
Liam Lawson replaced Daniel Ricciardo on RB Honda mid-season in 2024.

Red Bull Racing names RB Honda driver Liam Lawson to fill the vacant seat for the F1 2025 season. Lawson's selection comes just one day after Red Bull announced driver Sergio Perez will be leaving the team at the end of 2024.

The cascade of driver changes follows a bittersweet 2024 Grand Prix season in which Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won his fourth Drivers' Championship. Perez's lackluster performance since June resulted in Red Bull falling to third place in the Constructors' Championship. Combined drivers' Championship points determine the Constructors' title, which includes financial awards based primarily on the teams finishing order in points.
Liam Lawson as the second Red Bull driver
Lawson will be Max Verstappen's teammate. Red Bull hopes that Lawson can be a consistent point scorer, placing high enough that, combined with Verstappen's assumed continued dominance, the two drivers will snare the Constructors' title for the team.

Sergio Perez to leave Red Bull F1 team at the end of 2024
Perez is out and Liam Lawson will fill the vacant seat
Red Bull F1 driver Sergio Perez leaves the Red Bull team after 2024.

In a not-unexpected team change, F1 driver Sergio Perez will leave the F1 Red Bull  Racing team at the end of 2024. Red Bull management held the decision until after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but Perez had performed poorly for most of the second half of the 24-event 2024 Formula 1 season.
A difficult season for Perez and Red Bull
Perez was four-time World Champion driver Max Verstappen's teammate for four years. His best year was 2023, and Perez started strong in 2024. Red Bull renewed his driver contract in early June for two more years.

Unfortunately, after the extension, Perez's performance suffered. During the season, Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner repeatedly stated that he still believed Checo, the driver's nickname, would get out of his slump and resume making substantial contributions to the team Constructors' Championship points total. But it didn't happen.
