Hollywood star Reeves in driving seat for Cadillac series
Hot on the heels of Brad Pitt's recently released film F1: The Movie, another Hollywood star is set to front a behind-the-scenes series on Cadillac's journey to join the F1 grid next year.
Canadian screen actor Keanu Reeves, a motorsport fan, is to present a multi-episode production that will focus on the team's development of staff, cars and race team through a two-year process.

Cadillac was confirmed as the sport's 11th team for 2026 in March.
Reeves, 60, presented the Emmy award-winning 2023 documentary on Ross Brawn's eponymous team's success in beating the odds to win the title in 2009.
The star of Speed and The Matrix said he felt honoured and excited to tell the Cadillac story and "bring audiences into the heart of this journey and to showcase what it takes to participate in one of the most exclusive sports arenas in the world."
Reeves, who has an extensive collection of motor cycles and has taken part in a professional car race, the Toyota GR Cup, in Indianapolis, is not expected to follow Pitt's example and sample the thrill of driving an F1 car.

Pitt, 61, who reached a top speed of 197 mph in a test at Austin, Texas, in June, said recently that he wanted to "go back …I want to hit 200!"
McLaren boss Zak Brown, whose team supplied the car he drove, said he expected to see him return and repeat the experience.

Hamilton sets Silverstone pace from Norris
Lewis Hamilton has won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone nine times - a record for an F1 driver at a single circuit [Getty Images] Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton set the pace in first practice at the British Grand Prix from McLaren's Lando Norris. Hamilton headed Norris by 0.023 seconds at Silverstone, with the second McLaren of championship leader Oscar Piastri third, ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. Advertisement It was the first time Hamilton had topped a practice session this season, excluding his pole position for the sprint race at the Chinese Grand Prix. Mercedes driver George Russell was fifth fastest, ahead of Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar and Williams' Alex Albon. Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who suffered a blow to his already slim championship hopes when he was taken out of last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix by Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, was only 10th fastest, complaining about the balance of his car. Red Bull are one of a number of teams with revised floors for this event, the others McLaren, Aston Martin, Haas, Williams and Sauber. Advertisement At Aston Martin, Fernando Alonso used the new floor in the first session, to end up 11th fastest, while team-mate Lance Stroll ran the previous specification for comparison and ended up just one place behind. British-Swedish driver Arvid Lindblad, 17, replaced Yuki Tsunoda for first practice and was 14th. In warm temperatures and in front of a large crowd, Alpine's Pierre Gasly and Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto both had huge spins at the ultra-fast Copse corner, remarkably without going off track and damaging their cars.

2026 Chevrolet Trucks: The New (Trail) Boss Is Here
Chevrolet continues to cater to every type of truck buyer, offering models built for work, luxury, off-roading, and towing, powered by a diverse mix of gas, diesel, and electric drivetrains.

Here's a closer look at what's new for Chevrolet's 2026 truck lineup. 2026 Chevrolet Colorado Chevrolet has updated the Colorado's color palette, replacing Harvest Bronze Metallic with a new White Sands exterior paint. The midsize pickup also gains two new 20-inch wheel designs. Meanwhile, the optional engine cover has been dropped from the lineup. Following the Colorado's full redesign for 2023, which brought refreshed styling, upgraded powertrains, and a notably improved interior, Chevy has continued refining its midsize pickup. Since then, it has introduced the rugged ZR2 Bison trim, made the 11.3-inch digital instrument cluster standard across the range, and phased out the base turbo engine, leaving the L3B TurboMax as the only available powertrain.

Myles Turner Is A Great Fit On The Milwaukee Bucks
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - JANUARY 27: Myles Turner #33 of the Indiana Pacers dunks the ball past Brook ... More Lopez #11 of the Milwaukee Bucks in the fourth quarter at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on January 27, 2023 in Indianapolis, Indiana. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) Getty Images The Milwaukee Bucks just shook up the NBA landscape, pulling off one of the wildest moves of the offseason by snagging Myles Turner away from the Indiana Pacers. Somehow, some way, the Bucks and Turner agreed on a four-year, $107 million deal, with a player option tacked on at the end. Here's how the bag breaks down: $24.9 million in 2025-26 $26.1 million in 2026-27 $27.4 million in 2027-28 $28.6 million player option in 2028-29 What's slick is that even though the dollar amount climbs each year, the chunk of the cap it takes actually shrinks—from 16.09 percent in Year 1 continuously dropping down to 14.97 percent if he opts in for that final season. Of course, making this happen came at a cost. The Bucks had to rip the bandage off and wave goodbye to Damian Lillard, stretching his cap hit over five years in a move that had fans and analysts heated. But that's a conversation for another day. Right now, let's talk hoops—because Turner's fit in Milwaukee is straight-up seamless. The frontcourt duo of Turner and Giannis Antetokounmpo has serious potential. Turner's sliding right into Brook Lopez's old spot, but, at this stage in their respective careers, he's Lopez 2.0 with a turbo upgrade. Turner's got that modern big man game on lock. He's a legit floor-stretcher, hitting 37 percent or better from three in two of his last three seasons. He's cashing in catch-and-shoot looks at a 40 percent clip, which is perfect for playing off Giannis, who's gonna be in full point guard mode again. You'll see plenty of pick-and-pop with Giannis and even Kevin Porter Jr., keeping defenses honest and the paint clear for rim attacks. Turner can roll and finish too, but he's not some post-up bruiser—more of a finesse guy who knows when to dive and when to drift. Defensively, Turner's reputation precedes him. He was once swatting everything in sight—he peaked at a ridiculous 5.5 percent block rate in 2020-21. That number dipped to 3.3 percent last year, which ain't what it used to be, but he's still a major paint presence. His quick footwork and length let him stay with guards on switches better than most bigs. That kind of versatility is exactly what Milwaukee needs to juice up their scheme and switch more freely. He's not gonna lead the league in boards, but that's why you've got Giannis—the man vacuums up rebounds like it's nothing. Sure, Turner won't have a playmaking wizard like Tyrese Haliburton setting him up anymore. But let's not act like Giannis doesn't spoon-feed guys wide-open looks. Just ask Malik Beasley and Gary Trent Jr., both of whom saw their stocks rise just by running with the Greek Freak. The bottom line is Turner is an A+ fit on both ends and fills a need the Bucks couldn't afford to whiff on. Cap gymnastics aside, they landed a guy 29 other teams would've happily paid for. Milwaukee pulled a fast one, and we'll see how it pays off on the court.
