Afrofuturism Takes the Wheel With Dior and Lewis Hamilton's Fall 2025 Collection
DiorandLewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion and Dior ambassador, have unveiled their latest creative partnership, a collection that marks a bold, new creative odyssey. Building on their initial successful ventures, this exceptional line is being reinvented to powerfully convey one of Hamilton's deepest passions: Afrofuturism. The collection is a testament to the fusion of audacious aesthetics and rich cultural heritage.
Imbued with a forward-thinking aesthetic, this collection pushes the boundaries of performance and personal limits while seeking a lasting quintessence of style. The silhouettes daringly blend elegance and casualness, showcasing a plural range of traditional savoir-faire. This creates a powerful symbiosis of patrimonies that is at once historically resonant, contemporarily relevant, and deeply personal to Hamilton's vision.
The collection features jackets and coats that unveil a unique approach to tailoring, enhanced by fascinating fabrics bringing innovative tailoring to the forefront with a sportswear allure. These pieces are thoughtfully paired with refined knitwear, comfortable sweats, classic shirts, and reflective tracksuits. The resulting looks embody a diverse, universal, and timeless vision, offering garments that are both formal and relaxed, designed for a modern, dynamic lifestyle.
A key highlight of the footwear offering is the B44 Blade, a distinctive sneaker that emerges from this captivating and inventive dialogue. The B44 Blade, already a known silhouette from previous Dior x Lewis Hamilton collaborations (initially launched October 2024), here completes the collection's sportswear allure. Additionally, traditional derbies and boots are adapted for everyday wear, emphasizing versatility. The accompanying bags, notably the iconic Dior Hit the Road models, combine delicate, certified materials with a practical spirit, inviting freedom of movement and expression.

Nets add C Justyn Hamilton to Las Vegas Summer League roster
The Brooklyn Nets are one day away from seeing most of their rookies play in the Las Vegas Summer League on the campus on the University of Las Vegas (UNLV). Brooklyn and its fans are looking forward to seeing players like BYU guard Egor Demin take the floor for the first time in the NBA, but the Nets are also shaking up the roster prior to Thursday's game. In the Nets' roster for the upcoming Las Vegas Summer League, they added a new player to the roster in center Justyn Hamilton. Based on the roster that the team released on July 6, it looks like Hamilton will be replacing center Nick Ongenda, which could have happened for a number of reasons, but Brooklyn will be moving forward with the rest of the roster as is. Hamilton, 26, went undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft after spending five seasons playing college basketball for Temple and Kent State. After going undrafted, Hamilton went on to spend the 2022-23 season with the Lugano Tigers of the LNA, a top-tier professional club league in Switzerland, where he averaged 19.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game while shooting 53.7% from the field and 30.3% from three-point land. Hamilton, listed at 6-foot-10 and 205 pounds, is seemingly replacing Ongenda on the roster as the team is looking to play better this time around under coach Steve Hetzel than they did last season. Ironically enough, Hamilton will be able to show Brooklyn's opponent on Thursday, the Oklahoma City Thunder, what he can do on a different team within the NBA. Hamilton spent last season as a member of the Thunder's G League team, the Oklahoma City Blue, and he averaged 7.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per contest while shooting 58.7% from the field and 16.7% from deep. Time will tell how much Hamilton will contribute to the Nets in Las Vegas, but he is one of three players that are listed as a center, along with Tyrese Samuel and Grant Nelson.

Christian Horner Fired After 20 Years of Domination with Red Bull Racing
Christian Horner has been fired as the CEO and team principal at Red Bull Racing, according to a news release. Horner had led the Red Bull team since it joined the Formula 1 grid in 2005, during which time it achieved tremendous success, including eight drivers' world championships and six constructors' titles. The team has not given a reason for the firing but issued a statement on social media thanking Horner and adding that he "will forever remain an important part of our team history." After 20 years of building the Red Bull Racing team from a fledgling outfit into one of the greatest teams in Formula 1 history, Christian Horner was fired as team principal and CEO, effective Wednesday. "We would like to thank Christian Horner for his exceptional work over the last 20 years," Oliver Mintzlaff, Red Bull CEO of corporate projects and investments, said in a release. "With his tireless commitment, experience, expertise and innovative thinking, he has been instrumental in establishing Red Bull Racing as one of the most successful and attractive teams in Formula 1. Thank you for everything, Christian, you will forever remain an important part of our team history." As part of the ensuing shuffle, Red Bull announced it has promoted the current Racing Bulls team principal, Laurent Mekies, to CEO of Red Bull Racing. Alan Permane, the current racing director for the Racing Bulls, is being promoted to team principal of the sister team. Handout | Getty Images Horner has led the Red Bull team since it joined the Formula 1 grid in 2005. After bouncing among several engine suppliers through its first few years on the grid, the Red Bull team eventually landed what would become a long-term partnership with Renault. With its first wins behind it and a young Sebastian Vettel behind the wheel, Red Bull's first era of dominance stretched from 2010 through 2013 and included four consecutive double world championships. While Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes dominated the sport for the next seven years, Red Bull continued to be a top team—and both Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo spent several years battling the Silver Arrows for victories. While Mercedes ultimately won the 2021 Constructors' Championship, Max Verstappen nabbed his first of four World Drivers' Championships from Hamilton and hasn't given up the title since. NurPhoto | Getty Images In total, Horner has led Red Bull to 124 race victories, 107 pole positions, 287 podium finishes, eight drivers' world championships, and six constructors' titles. But despite a fairy-tale first two decades in the sport, Red Bull's 2025 season has fallen short. McLaren now has the dominant car and leads the championship, while several key team members have left Red Bull. Recent weeks have also seen the emergence of new rumors suggesting that Max Verstappen could join Mercedes before his contract ends in 2028. While the team hasn't publicly announced why Horner was fired, there's solid evidence to suggest the decision was made to appease Max Verstappen, whose father and manager, Jos Verstappen, has had a contentious relationship with Horner in recent years. There's also the possibility that Verstappen has announced his intentions to leave the team, and the firing came as a result. Car and Driver has reached out to Red Bull for comment and will update this story when we get a response. Jack Fitzgerald Associate News Editor Jack Fitzgerald's love for cars stems from his as yet unshakable addiction to Formula 1. After a brief stint as a detailer for a local dealership group in college, he knew he needed a more permanent way to drive all the new cars he couldn't afford and decided to pursue a career in auto writing. By hounding his college professors at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he was able to travel Wisconsin seeking out stories in the auto world before landing his dream job at Car and Driver. His new goal is to delay the inevitable demise of his 2010 Volkswagen Golf. Read full bio

Apple eyes Formula 1 streaming rights in bid to expand its live sports lineup
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Rumors about Apple eyeing Formula 1 streaming rights aren't new. But after the successful $300 million box office take for its latest F1 movie starring Brad Pitt, it seems Cupertino really wants to add F1 to its sports offerings. Advertisement According to the Financial Times, Apple is in talks to acquire the US rights to stream Formula 1. While Apple has been careful to offer its Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball products worldwide, the approach might differ with Formula 1. The rights are currently with Disney's ESPN, but F1 also has the option to charge fans directly. Today's Top Deals The publication says the race series earns $85 million a year from ESPN. But analysts at Citi estimate the next broadcast deal could be worth at least $121 million annually. Disney will likely make an offer to retain the streaming rights, especially since the audience has doubled over the past seven years. At the same time, F1 is prioritizing the U.S. market, as Liberty Media has added Miami and Las Vegas to the race calendar, alongside the Austin, Texas Grand Prix. Formula 1 Apple While people familiar with the matter say F1 might let ESPN retain the rights to stream the sport, Disney hasn't taken action during its exclusive negotiation window to strike a deal without competition. Advertisement With the success of F1 the movie and Netflix's popular Drive to Survive documentary series, this is a hot moment for Formula 1 to boost its revenue and for Apple to grow its sports lineup. That said, we're still months away from finding out if Apple will seal the deal. ESPN holds the streaming rights through the end of the 2025 season. BGR will keep you updated as we learn more about Apple's potential bid for Formula 1 streaming in the US.
