Al Bawaba21-05-2025

Cadillac welcomes the Mobil 1™ brand as its primary sponsor of the No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The livery features the iconic Mobil 1 logo across the sides and front of the blue and white Hypercar – symbolizing a powerful collaboration in motorsport excellence.
'Mobil 1 and Cadillac Racing are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation in motorsport,' said John Roth, vice president, Global Cadillac. 'We're excited to welcome the Mobil 1 brand as the primary sponsor of the No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R for the 24 Hours of Le Mans."
With the 93rd edition of this legendary race approaching, Cadillac Racing looks to contend for the overall victory while showcasing its all-new livery featuring the Mobil 1 brand. Earlier this year, the Mobil 1 team announced an extension of its technical alliance with Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), further solidifying its role as the Official Motor Oil of Cadillac Sports Car Racing.
'Le Mans is the ultimate proving ground in motorsport, and we're proud to support Cadillac's ambitions through our continued technical partnership,' adds Tony Esposito, Strategic Global Alliance Manager, on behalf of the Mobil 1 team. 'This new livery reflects what our work with Cadillac is all about – performance, passion and pushing boundaries. We're thrilled to see it come to life on track at Le Mans, where our legacy in motorsport continues.'
While at Le Mans, Cadillac Racing will contest the twice-around-the-clock race on the 8.467-mile course incorporating public roads with a four-car factory program lineup that features drivers who have accumulated 21 Le Mans podiums.
Cadillac Racing is in its third season of WEC competition, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans among eight races, with the No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Alex Lynn, Norman Nato and Will Stevens and the No. 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Earl Bamber, Sebastien Bourdais and Jenson Button.
The No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R driven by Ricky Taylor, Jordan Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque and the No. 311 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R driven by Jack Aitken, Felipe Dragovich and Frederik Vesti are full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship contenders in the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class competing as the Nos. 10 and 31, respectively.
Cadillac Racing earned a third-place finish at Le Mans in 2023 after a 21-year hiatus and qualified second and third in 2024 with a best finish of seventh among its three-car contingent.
The Cadillac V-Series.R, powered by the purpose-built 5.5-liter DOHC V8 engine, marks the third-generation Cadillac prototype racecar and the brand's first hybrid electrified race car. Co-developed by Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing and chassis constructor Dallara, the racecar represents the fifth generation of the V-Series, incorporating key Cadillac V-Series production car design elements such as vertical lighting and floating blades.
Motorsport provides a testbed for the Cadillac and Mobil 1 brands to transfer knowledge and technology between racecars and production vehicles.
The performance, durability, and efficiency of systems tested under extreme conditions directly influence the design of Cadillac production vehicles — delivering innovation, power, and reliability to customers.

Blockbuster Osimhen Bid: Liverpool Offers Cash Plus Two Stars for Napoli Ace

Liverpool have made a surprising offer to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. Journalist Sebastien Vidal reported that the Premier League champions proposed a package that includes Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa, and £17 million in cash. Also Read Liverpool considering £100 million bid for Anthony Gordon Napoli are looking for around €75 million (£64m) for their Nigerian striker, but Liverpool's offer—a combination of two high-profile players and cash—might be enough to encourage the Serie A side to negotiate. Arne Slot's transfer plan gains momentum It's been a busy summer at Anfield. Liverpool has already secured four signings and is expected to announce a fifth addition within 24 hours. Milos Kerkez is undergoing a medical on Monday. The Hungarian full-back will join Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi, and the notable Florian Wirtz as part of the club's aggressive squad makeover. However, new head coach Arne Slot is not done yet. Strengthening both central defense and the striker position are top priorities as he builds a team ready to defend their Premier League title. From Isak dream to Osimhen reality Slot had identified Alexander Isak as his ideal signing up front. But with Newcastle United unwilling to sell and Isak's contract running until 2028, a transfer proved unworkable. Sources suggest Newcastle could demand a record fee—close to £200 million—if they were to consider letting Isak go. This has shifted Liverpool's focus toward Osimhen, who is open to a move after falling out of Napoli's future plans under Antonio Conte. The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Galatasaray and is believed to want a Premier League switch. High-profile exits and internal tensions Beyond new arrivals, Liverpool is also managing potential departures. Midfielder Harvey Elliott is reportedly attracting serious interest from a Premier League rival, with a £40 million offer said to be on the table. Meanwhile, a contract extension offer to one of Slot's trusted regulars has reportedly been met with disappointment, sparking speculation about a possible departure. The No. 9 Liverpool have been missing? Osimhen's arrival would significantly boost Liverpool's attacking options, especially after a mixed season for Darwin Nunez. The Nigerian international brings strength, speed, and clinical finishing; these skills are crucial as Slot prepares for a season where the margin for error will be smaller than ever.
