Mercedes-AMG unveils Concept GT XX
TDT | agencies Mercedes-AMG has revealed the Concept GT XX, its first fully electric concept car and a preview of the brand's upcoming series-production EV. The four-door model is the first to be built on the new skateboard platform, specifically engineered for high-performance electric vehicles. At its core, the GT XX features three axial flux electric motors and a bespoke high-performance battery. The drivetrain technology comes from YASA, a British electric motor specialist and wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz. The setup includes two High-Performance Electric Drive Units ( — one at the front and a more powerful one at the rear. The rear houses two axial flux motors, each with a planetary gearbox and water-cooled inverter, all compactly packaged in a single casing. These components are oilcooled for efficiency, and the hydraulic pump control unit is also integrated. The front motor acts as a booster, engaging only when additional traction or power is needed. It can be disconnected via a Disconnect Unit (DCU) to reduce energy loss during cruising. Combined, the system delivers over 1,341 BHP, with rear-wheel drive as the default. Inspired by Formula 1 and the AMG One Hypercar, the GT XX's battery features an 800V architecture and supports ultra-fast DC charging. AMG claims charging speeds of up to 850 kW, enabling 400 km of range to be added in just five minutes — sustained across a wide portion of the charging curve. The Concept GT XX signals Mercedes-AMG's next step in high-performance electrification, blending cutting-edge battery tech with motorsport-grade drive systems.

Formula 1 and Allwyn to launch community award programme
Formula 1, together with leading multi-national lottery-led entertainment company and Official Partner Allwyn, will celebrate and spotlight community-focused initiatives around the world with the new F1® Allwyn Global Community Award. The brand-new programme, created as part of the two organisations' multi-year partnership and as part of their shared commitment to driving positive change, will celebrate local initiatives that leave a positive impact on society. The winners, who will receive a €100,000 donation along with a bespoke trophy and the chance to visit a Formula 1 Grand Prix, must address one or more of the following focus areas: empowerment and inclusion; education and opportunity; health and wellbeing, and sustainability and innovation. Ahead of each selected Grand Prix, the local promoter will identify community-focused initiatives supported by the F1 ecosystem that have had a meaningful impact, and a panel of judges from Formula 1, Allwyn, and a representative from the local race community will select a winner. This year, the first award will be presented at the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN DUTCH GRAND PRIX 2025, taking place between 29 – 31 August, with subsequent winners awarded at the United States, Mexico, and Las Vegas Grands Prix. Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, said: 'It is a pillar of our sport to leave a positive legacy where we race and for many years we've worked with the promoters and regional organisations to do just that, from inviting children from local schools to the track to encourage them to consider a role in motorsport, through to funding education initiatives and welcoming local community outlets and charities to be part of the event. Every year 24 incredible venues open their doors to host us, and we are met with fantastic passion and love at the track and throughout the entire city, so I am very proud to launch the F1 Allwyn Global Community Award as part of our mission. We will give the local initiatives that go the extra mile for making their communities and make the world a better place the recognition and global platform they deserve.' Robert Chvátal, Group CEO of Allwyn, said: 'Championing positive impact is at the heart of what we do at Allwyn. Our partnership with Formula 1 is the perfect chance to demonstrate our commitment to communities through the creation of this inspiring F1 Allwyn Global Community Award, supporting the very best community initiatives around the world and bringing them to a huge global audience.'

A visual masterpiece for new and seasoned fans: Review of F1 The Movie, brought to you by Bahrain International Circuit. Director: Joseph Kosinski Cast: Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Javier Bardem Genre: Sport/Drama Rating: 4.5 popcorns out of 5 Try to imagine combining the visual spectacle of Top Gun: Maverick, a Gladiator-level musical score, the effortless charm of Brad Pitt, the racing passion of Lewis Hamilton, with the backing of Warner Brothers and Apple and a production with unparalleled access to every corner of F1. The end result is a visual masterpiece that manages to find a way of appealing to both an F1 newbie and the most seasoned of motorsport fans. The film focuses on the struggling Apex Grand Prix team and its ambition to get back to the top of the sport. Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, an ex-driver whose career was ended by a racing incident back in 1993. He is brought out of retirement by Apex GP team boss (Javier Bardem) to revive fortunes at the team and perhaps teach a lesson or two to young teammate Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). For the regular F1 fan, the combination of the film's authenticity, together with the visual spectacle will not disappoint. Indeed, staying true to the sport was a key factor for the involvement of Lewis Hamilton as a producer and the endorsement of F1 and the FIA for the film. During filming, Brand Pitt and Damson Idris learned to drive real cars, at real F1 venues, driving at speeds of up to 300km per hour. The cars themselves are F2 cars, modified by Mercedes to blend in seamlessly with the real F1 grid. The scenes you see at race weekend from Silverstone through to Abu Dhabi have all been shot during the actual race weekends, to the extent that during the filming periods, F1 effectively had 11 teams running. Even the smaller touches nod to the real life feeling of F1, with no better example than the cameo of Guenther Steiner and his inevitable fruity language. Add to that the familiar voices of David Croft and Martin Brundle on commentary to support narrative direction and explanations of the action for newer fans, with appearances from the entire 2023 grid (drivers and cars) and numerous other familiar faces from the world of F1, there is plenty for fans to get their teeth into. And that's before taking in the visual treat of the racing shots. Given the amount of filming that was undertaken outside of races, the movie was able to capture new and unique camera shots which go well beyond what fans are used to on broadcast. F1 has always been an impressive visual feast on any normal race weekend, but the film takes the viewing pleasure and immersive experience to a whole new level. Add to that the musical genius of a score by Hans Zimmer and it's hard to not become totally spellbound by the action. There is also plenty in there for new or even non-F1 fans. Whilst the authenticity necessitates the use of a fair amount of F1 jargon, the commentary, radio chatter and scripting do an excellent job to guide the viewer through the technical details. Brad Pitt is unsurprisingly cool, perhaps best described as a combination of an American version of James Hunt, with the driving style that would make Max Verstappen look timid in comparison. Idris as his teammate provides a cheeky young English vibe that sits well alongside Pitt's more roguish humour, whilst Javier Bardem as team boss Ruben adds significant weight to carry the story along, supported by the Irish charm and cutting insight of Kerry Condon as the team's technical director. Whilst the film does walk the careful line of trying to appeal the widest audience possible (and rightly so), there will be the inevitable clamour from the hardcore F1 crowd that the film has oversimplified the sport, or that certain small details don't match real life (such as the team headquarters of Apex being filmed at McLaren). Others may say that the storyline isn't the most sophisticated of journeys. To claim any of that would miss the entire point of the film. If you want proper, true-to-life F1, watch the Senna documentary (or just watch an F1 race), and if you want a weaving complex narrative, take on one of Brad Pitt's earlier efforts in Seven. This is unashamedly Hollywood; a true summer entertainment blockbuster and a visual masterpiece celebrating the pinnacle of motorsport. The efforts to remain true to life to F1 do more than enough to give this film credibility. Most of all, the movie will undoubtedly bring in a new audience to F1, in the same way that Formula 1: Drive to Survive continues to achieve. Not only will it help the sport in its expansion efforts, given that anyone watching this around the world, young or old, cannot fail to be mesmerised by the spectacle of the sport. Given what Warner Brothers and Apple have put into the film for production, and the supporting efforts to promote this film, there is no doubt that this is another landmark moment for F1. F1 The Movie releases in Bahrain today, June 26. It's well worth a trip to the big screen.
