646jili01 Formula 1 is expanding with an 11 th team joining the global motorsport for the 2026 season, naming General Motors GM with Andretti Global. While the new team is still over a year away from starting, it will add an increased American presence to the sport and more competition for recent and four-time consecutive champion Max Verstappen. What Happened : Formula 1, which is a unit of publicly traded Liberty Formula One FWONA FWONK , announced it reached an agreement with General Motors for a new team, branded as Cadillac, which will enter beginning in 2026, following up a previous rejection of a GM-linked team earlier this year. General Motors will also become an engine supplier for the league at a later date, the league announced . The GM team will use Ferrari engines until the GM engines are officially approved for the sport. "With Formula 1's continued growth plans in the U.S., we have always believed that welcoming an impressive U.S. brand like GM/Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei said. General Motors President Mark Reuss called Formula 1 the "pinnacle of motorsports" and said the announcement of becoming the 11 th team is an honor for the automotive company. "We're committed to competing with passion and integrity to elevate the sport for race fans around the world," Reuss said. "This is a global stage for us to demonstrate GM's engineering expertise and technology leadership at an entirely new level." The approval of the team comes after the U.S. Justice Department launched an investigation into why Liberty Media, who owns the commercial rights to Formula 1, would not approve the American team bid started by Michael Andretti. The new team, called Cadillac F1, will be run by Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter after Andretti stepped aside from the group in September. Former Formula 1 champion and racing legend Mario Andretti will have an ambassador role with Cadillac F1 while his son Michael will have no official position.

While Verstappen finished fifth in the race, he secured enough points to guarantee that no one could match his points total with two races left in the season. This marks the fourth consecutive title by Verstappen with his first title in 2021 a close one with racing legend Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen has been dominant in the sport in recent years winning the title with races still left in season three of the four years. Verstappen won seven of the first 10 races this season before falling out of form but later did enough to win enough points to secure the title. The new GM team marks the second American-owned team . Gene Haas owns a team but chooses to have international drivers. Michael Andretti's original vision was to have an American-owned team and also feature American drivers, something that fans of the sport will be closely watching. Team expansion has been infrequent with four teams added in 2010 to push the total to 13 teams and 26 cars. Of the four teams added, one never raced and the other three were out of the league by 2017, as reported by the Associated Press. The existing 10 team owners have been against expansion due to the dilution of prize money, but have no formal say in the approval process. Adding another American team could benefit ESPN, which is a unit of Walt Disney Co DIS . ESPN secured the renewal of the U.S. rights in 2022, paying an estimated $75 million to $90 million annually for the rights for three additional years. ESPN fought off several other parties interested in the rights, as viewership for the sport has surged in recent years. Along with recent growth in viewership in the U.S. Formula One teams have also experienced increased interest in ownership stakes from investors, including several notable American football players. The Alpine racing team received investments in 2023 from Kansas City Chiefs players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce , professional golfer Rory McIlroy and actor Ryan Reynolds. FWONA Price Action : Liberty Formula One shares were up 4.25% to $80.74 on Monday, hitting an intraday high of $80.88, which is a new 52-week high. The stock is up 41% year-to-date in 2024.

An international study has found “high levels of alcohol industry penetration” in the formulation of government alcohol policies in 24 countries, including Ireland. The findings have been criticised by Alcohol Action Ireland, which described industry access to policymakers as “extensive”. However, the Irish drinks industry said it had a “right” to engage with policymakers, given the scale of the sector in Ireland. The Department of Health said most of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 has come into effect, with two outstanding provisions — on a broadcast watershed and labelling of alcohol products — due to start next January and in May of 2026 respectively. The study, published in the British Medical Journal , involved researchers in 24 countries, including five European states, Ireland among them. It found that Ireland scored five out of five in terms of “indicators of alcohol industry penetration” in policy making, namely: Ireland was the only one of the five European counties (the others being Finland, Lithuania, Netherlands, and Norway) that had all five indicators. The research also examined “indicators of government safeguards” to limit industry influence. These indicators were: It found that Ireland scored four out of five of these indicators, with the last one — records of meetings — the sole safeguard in place. Concluding, the research said: “We found high levels of alcohol industry penetration and very limited government safeguards against alcohol industry influence across 24 diverse jurisdictions. “Learning from experiences in tobacco control, governments should adopt stronger measures to protect policies from the alcohol industry’s vested interests, including restricting interactions and partnerships with the alcohol industry, limiting political contributions and enhancing transparency.” Sheila Gilheany of Alcohol Action Ireland said: “Alcohol industry access to policy-making in Ireland is extensive. "It is clear from lobbying returns that industry meets frequently with government officials and senior politicians across multiple departments. This is shocking given this industry costs Ireland at least €12 billion annually. “Such access has the effect of stymieing progress in tackling the multiple issues around alcohol in Ireland with policy makers absorbing industry narratives and being deflected from taking the common-sense measures that have widespread public support such as controls on alcohol advertising and licensing hours.” Drinks Ireland said the sector was a “driver of economic prosperity”, creating jobs and acting as a catalyst for wider economic activity. in many rural areas. “An industry of this magnitude and reach has the right to engage with policymakers in this capacity and seek vital business supports where necessary,” the statement said. “We do so in line with transparency and lobby register standards and requirements. “Drinks Ireland believes that there is insufficient engagement with industry on alcohol related policy and legislation.” It said that the findings seemed to show that Ireland “differs little” from the findings of other countries. The statement said Drinks Ireland wanted a Government strategy of “proper engagement” with the industry, adding: “This has been lacking in recent years, with policy makers adopting policies that rely on outdated stereotypes.” The Department of Health told the Irish Examiner that five key provisions of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 “have come into effect”. These provisions relate to: It said a broadcasting watershed provision will come into effect in January 2025, while provision on the labelling of alcohol products will commence on May 22, 2026. It added that the Department of Justice had responsibility for alcohol licensing laws and that the Department of Finance dealt with alcohol taxation.WASHINGTON , Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA has selected Sierra Lobo , Inc. of Fremont, Ohio , to provide for test operations, test support, and technical system maintenance activities at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi .

Tensions have escalated between political leaders over the proposal for separate administrative units in Manipur. Rajya Sabha member Leishemba Sanajaoba strongly criticized Mizoram MP K Vanlalvena's suggestion, terming it as unnecessary interference in Manipur's affairs. Vanlalvena, representing BJP ally Mizo National Front, has called for the immediate removal of the N Biren Singh government and the imposition of President's rule in Manipur to contain ongoing ethnic violence, which has claimed over 250 lives since May last year. Arguing for a two-step solution, Vanlalvena insists that study and demarcation of lands occupied by Meiteis and tribal communities, resulting in new administrative units, could provide a sustainable solution to the conflict. Communities currently avoid each other's territories amid rising tensions between them. (With inputs from agencies.)Minnesota looks to stop skid vs. Bethune-CookmanFormer prime minister John Howard said he felt “very honoured and really quite touched”, when receiving the Dennis Clifford Humanitarian Award at Jewish House’s 2024 gala dinner on November 21, attended by 650 at Le Montage. Howard said Jewish House is “one of those magnificent, faith-based organisations that do so much to help those who genuinely need help in our community ... without discrimination on the basis of faith or ethnic background”. Expressing his deep admiration for Israel and for the contribution of the Jewish community to Australia “in every walk of life”, Howard said, “I can’t tell you enough how angry and disgusted I am at what happened in Woollahra last night [referring to anti-Israel vandalism to parked cars and an apartment block entrance]. “I think it was a demonstration of naked antisemitism, which, whatever our political views are, we should denounce. “I always thought that this country had a long tradition of bipartisan rejection of antisemitism. “And I just wish more had been done – in the aftermath of those terrible events of October 7, 2023 – to denounce antisemitism. “Because people respond to leadership on these issues and in many areas, it was not provided.” Keynote speaker, federal court judge Justice Michael Lee – whose wife Penny is Jewish – agreed with Howard that strong, moral leadership has an important role to play in combating antisemitism. A board member of an institution at Western Sydney University, Lee – speaking in a personal capacity – said he’s “pleased to see it had no encampments and the leadership of the university spoke out promptly and firmly, against antisemitic speech” – unfortunately in contrast to other universities. Lee lamented how a generation of students are being exposed to institutions that are “producing an apparently significant number of future leaders whose lack of a traditional Western historical education is matched by their sense of self-righteousness and their willingness to spout slogans”. “It is [thus] unsurprising that students now seem to use school and university to proclaim, rather than to learn.” He recited a quote in the NSW Legislative Assembly in 1946 by his wife’s late grandfather, former NSW housing minister Abe Landa: “I shall treat any attack on the Jews as an attack upon my wife and my children.” Lee added, “Although, unlike Abe, I cannot say I spring from your faith, over the sweep of almost 80 years, I can say I feel exactly the same way.”
