Valtteri Bottas finds his back against the wall as he works to stay in F1. “I’m confident I’m going to get a seat.” These were the words of Valtteri Bottas earlier in the year, as driver market speculation reached its height.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States?

Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

The cork in the bottle that was Carlos Sainz Jr. has been removed. Now we wait to see how that moment impacts the rest of the Formula 1 grid. On the first day of the sport’s annual summer shutdown, Sainz announced his long-anticipated decision for the 2025 F1 season, sharing the news that he signed a “multi-year” contract to driver for Williams starting next season. That decision, which many other drivers pointed to as the major holdup in sorting the rest of the 2025 driver lineup, could finally lead to the rest of the grid becoming finalized over the next few weeks.
