F3 driver Voisin eyes success at 'special' Silverstone
Callum Voisin has been competing in Formula 3 for the past two seasons [Getty Images] Bath-based Formula 3 driver Callum Voisin said it will be "special" to drive at Silverstone this weekend. The 19-year-old was born in Switzerland but has been living in Bath for the past eight years while he was attending school. Advertisement Voisin is in his second season racing for the Rodin Motorsport team and will be competing in the Formula 3 event taking place this weekend at the same time as F1's British Grand Prix. "[Silverstone] is a pretty special one for me, it's one that I've driven a lot over the past couple of years, it was one of the first ever circuits that I actually drove at," Voisin told BBC Radio Somerset. "It's a circuit that everyone wants to win at, it's very historic and for me the grand prix that I get to call home. It's very special, high speed - I always enjoy driving there." Voisin began his driving career karting on circuits such as Clay Pigeon Raceway in Somerset. Advertisement He won the GB3 Championship in 2023 and moved up to Formula 3 with Rodin last season, whose alumni include current F1 drivers Lando Norris, George Russell, Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson. Voisin won his maiden race at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in July last year on his way to finishing 12th overall in the standings. He goes into the Silverstone race on Saturday in ninth place after the first six races this season. "It all fell into place relatively late, I wasn't expecting to be doing F3," Voisin said. "The team went under some new management, which ended up being the right time for me and the team. Advertisement "My first year in F3 was a learning year for me and we ended up getting some good results by the end of it and then went for another year to have a proper go at it." Later this month Voisin will be switching to Formula E to take part in a test event for the Cupra Kiro team - his first time driving an electric car. Racing in F1 remains the ultimate goal however. "My goal is still to reach F1 and be a world champion one day," Voisin added. "I'm aware that Formula 1 is difficult to get in, so are all the other forms of motorsport. As long as I do the best job possible I can, who knows where I can end up."

Ford CEO makes shocking AI unemployment claim
Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, there has been endless chatter about AI coming for white-collar jobs. Initially, it felt like distant noise, with a few tech layoffs here or there. Fast-forward to now, though; the AI unemployment threat is real and scaling up quickly. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Companies are braver with automation, especially with AI tools getting sharper over time. Hence, entire industries could be bracing for impact, and a recent bombshell from Ford's CEO suggests the automotive sector might be next. Image source: Ed Jones/AFP via Getty Images Over the past year, automakers have axed thousands of white-collar jobs in layering AI across every corner of their operations. Last August, General Motors cut over 1,000 salaried software and service positions. The company deemed it a push to streamline operations, with AI tools reshaping how it builds and sells cars. GM was back at it by April this year, laying off another 200 workers at its all-electric Factory Zero plant in Detroit. Tesla is another auto giant that's swung the axe on jobs. Related: Analyst reboots IonQ stock price target for surprising reason Early this year, the EV behemoth shed thousands of jobs while watching key executives head for the exits in a pivot to full self-driving tech. Around the same time, Tesla poached a former Cruise executive to run its growing AI division. Also in April, Volvo Group North America said it would cut up to 800 U.S. jobs across three sites. It blamed weak demand but pointed to its push to automate production faster. Hence, AI is actively reshaping automation with 24/7 uptime and leaner supply chains, cutting headcounts to squeeze costs.

German auto parts giant ZF looks to cut 14,000 jobs by 2028, while Volkswagen's software arm Cariad could shed 1,600 staff as it races to digitize. Looking ahead, managing the social fallout of this AI-first era remains a big test for automakers and industry players alike. Ford (F) CEO Jim Farley isn't mincing words about AI's impact on the American white-collar workforce. "Artificial intelligence is going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.," Farley told a crowd at a recent event, calling out what he sees as an "asymmetric impact" on the economy. He also feels some areas will get a boost, while others will suffer, with AI leaving many white-collar employees out in the cold. It's important to note that Farley isn't the only one who has such comments. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently told staffers that AI-driven efficiency gains will likely shrink the company's workforce in the coming years. Related: Veteran analyst drops shocking Tesla target Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, recently told Axios that AI might obliterate 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs and take unemployment rates to 10% to 20% in as little as five years. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg echoes the same sentiment. In April, he predicted that AI could write most of Meta's code in just 12–18 months. Fiverr CEO Micha Kaufman also put it bluntly, saying, "It does not matter if you are a programmer, designer, product manager, data scientist, lawyer, customer support rep, salesperson, or a finance person - AI is coming for you." These forecasts may sound extreme, and plenty of folks disagree, but the message is loud and clear. Corporate America's top brass sees a massive disruption coming, and those riding the AI wave will benefit the most.

3 expert theories on why there are so many Wimbledon upsets in 2025
The stats are downright shocking: eight top-10 seeds from both the women's and men's Wimbledon 2025 brackets were upset in the first couple of days of the Grand Slam tournament at the All England Club. So: what gives? What happened to all these top names, from Coco Gauff to Jessica Pegula to Alexander Zverv? There's probably no right answer. There are a number of factors -- including, perhaps, that it's a coincidence, right? -- that you could throw out there to explain the phenomenon. But there are plenty of theories being thrown out there. We've rounded all of them up in one place as the tournament continues: The switch to the grass of Wimbledon is jarring Gauff had this to say, per NBC News: "I would say the quick turnaround," Gauff said after her first-round exit. "I think most of the seeds are going deeper in Roland Garros, and then you spend a long clay season and then you have to come and adjust to grass.' And then former American star Andy Roddick said this: "This is what happens when you actually play tournaments outside of the monosurface, where it's all kind of the same," Roddick said. "You allow different styles in. ... This is what we get. We don't get a six-week lead-in where we're getting a data set from [tournaments in] Monte Carlo through Geneva that matter in predictions and knowing what's going on. Because of the way the ball moves on grass, it's a harder adjustment. It's too soon after the French Open See above for the "quick turnaround" line. Like she said: if you went deep at the French Open, there's a fatigue factor, too. "Upsets are contagious" That's what Brad Gilbert said, via ESPN: "Upsets are contagious," Brad Gilbert, former player and current coach, said on the broadcast on Tuesday. "If you're seeded, be wary before you leave that locker room." Maybe what he's trying to say: if you're a top seed and you're seeing other top seeds go home, it can get in your head. Just check out what Madison Keys said via The Times: The same message came from Madison Keys on Wednesday, who said that she had herself only just 'dodged a bullet' in her first-round match. 'When you are sitting and watching everyone kind of fall, it kind of adds a little bit of stress to the situation,' she said.
