The FIA Formula 1 2025 season will celebrate F1’s 75th anniversary throughout the year. The 2025 schedule includes an unprecedented season launch event at The O2 Arena in London and pre-season testing in Bahrain. The 24 Grand Prix events begin on March 14 in Australia and wrap up on December 7 in Abu Dhabi.

Six 2025 Grand Prix events will include Sprint races, the same number as in the 2024 season. Sprints are shorter races held the day before the Grand Prix races. The 2025 Grand Prix events with Sprint races will be in China, Miami, Spa, Austin, Sao Paulo, and Qatar.

In addition to Formula 1’s 75th anniversary, 2025 will be the final year with the current FIA F1 rules and regulations for race cars and power units. In 2026, the next-generation F1 race cars will be lighter, narrower, and have smaller tires. The most significant change will be in the power units. F1 isn’t going all-electric, not yet, but the new power units will use biofuels exclusively for their combustion engines and will use a larger proportion of battery power.

How to watch Formula 1 Grand Prix races

F1 Grand Prix race events are three-day affairs held in cities around the globe. Video streaming services can’t match the shared excitement of watching the races, practice sessions, and qualifying events. If it’s in your budget, watching the race events live is an incredible experience (don’t forget hearing protection).

However, attending a Grand Prix can be pretty pricey, even if you live in a host city and don’t have to pay for air travel and accommodations. There are always deals, but tickets for all three days typically cost several hundred dollars. You’ll pay more if you want all-inclusive deals with guaranteed seating, food, and beverages. If your desires and budget don’t collide, official F1 Experiences and other elite viewing, dining, entertainment access, and race-related activity packages can cost thousands but deliver an unforgettable VIP experience.

If you can’t attend the F1 Grand Prix in person, there are several video-streaming alternatives that can bring every race to your screen of choice. Yes, you can connect an over-the-air (OTA) antenna to your TV and possibly watch a few races for free on ABC, but that approach can be hit or miss.

ESPN+, as a standalone subscription or bundled with subscription packages with Hulu+ and Disney+ or Sling TV Orange or Orange + Blue, will enable you to watch every Grand Prix and Sprint race. If you go the ESPN+ route, your strategy can also be based on the other content you can access.

For the best F1 streaming content, nothing else can compete with the FITV Pro subscription. For $10.99 a month or $84.99 a year, you can access live races, practice sessions, qualifying events, Sprints, and more. The service includes lively pre-shows and post-shows with expert interviews, analysis, and in-depth technical discussions about race car upgrades and team strategies. F1TV Pro also includes archived video material from 1950, when F1 began. There is a less expensive F1 service that costs $3.49 a month or $29.99 a year with delayed race replays but not live races.

cadillac celebrates 125 years with the escalade v my27 collector img 1620

The Cadillac Escalade has been a symbol for decades. When you think about those who made it out of the neighborhood and into the more affluent parts of your home, you think of them in a Caddy. The Cadillac image has always been the go-to for those who want to showcase their success and their ability to rise above the average. The Escalade became the harbinger of wealth when it became the status symbol of the urban and hip hop cultures.

Now the Escalade is the vessel Cadillac is using to celebrate 125 years with the Escalade-V.

Porsche wants to teach you how actually to drive their cars
Porsche

A Porsche is one of the most recognizable cars on the road. You always know when you are looking at one. So, it stands to reason that people love them, right? Of course they do. But loving a car and knowing how to drive one are very different. What is it that Ja Rule said in The Fast and the Furious? “We know a few things. And one of the things we knows is, it isn’t how you stand by your car, it is how to drive your car. You better learn that.” How do you learn to drive a Porsche? At the Porsche Track Experience, which has offered programs on everything from a single-day basics class up to a three-day advanced course.

Now, the team behind PTX is expanding into new offerings for the car.

The next evolution of the sports car: Porsche redesigns an icon
City, Car, Transportation

Authenticity. It is what we are looking for nowadays as consumers. Thirty years ago, we looked for brand names. We strived for status and letting all those around us see that what we wore, where we lived, where we dined, and finally, what we drove, symbolized our success in life. Then all of that started to stumble, and every industry felt the recession. Of course, the recession was temporary, but the effects of it were not. What we started to look for after that was something real. We realized that stuff…was just stuff. Now, when I look at cars, or suits, or restaurants, I ask myself: What is this going to make me feel?

That is what the new Porsche Mission S does; it makes me feel like vintage New York and the upstate escape.
