The pen is mightier than the sword - A picture is worth a thousand words
Sauber’s plans for 2025 might look different, with rumours that Audi is set to sell a stake in its F1 team to Qatar. But, one thing confirmed is its driver line-up, with F2 star Gabriel Bortoleto joining on a multi-year deal.
The 20-year-old will run alongside German veteran Nico Hülkenberg as the squad continues its transition to Audi from 2026. And the São Paulo native is ready to step-up.

We go to Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, where we get an update from Arwa Damon of the humanitarian organization INARA on "deteriorating conditions" as Palestinians are "slowly exterminated" by disease and starvation caused by Israel's brutal siege.
Palestinians in Gaza feel that "they are living through their own annihilation," says Damon. "There is actually a real sense that the worst is yet to come."

While a Formula One driver may be the star athlete behind the wheel, it is the cutting-edge technology and the skilled engineers deploying it that complete the rest of the team.
F1 races are often decided by tenths of seconds, and technological advancements can make or break a team’s time on the circuit.
“Formula One is all about performance, and it’s performance which drives success on the racetrack. So, we as engineers have always focused on how can we get the quickest car, and to achieve that requires a very innovative approach,” said Ben Waterhouse, head of performance engineering for Oracle Red Bull Racing.
According to Waterhouse, the four main ingredients contributing to a high performing car are its chassis, the power unit, the tires and the driver.
“Without all four of them operating at a very high level, it's very difficult to have real success,” Waterhouse added.
The F1 winter break is the period between the end of the season and the start of pre-season testing, but it is hardly a “break” for the team’s engineers.
“There's different approaches to designing a Formula One car. Either you take the base of what was your previous year's car, and you carry that over, or you're going for a complete conceptual change to unlock more performance. In both cases, there's still a lot of work that goes into physically building the car in the winter season,” said Dan Keyworth, director of business technology for McLaren Racing.
James Vowles, team principal for Williams Racing, said he spends about 30% of his time on technology.
“What I'm doing is creating technologies and infrastructure that allow us not to produce a good car in ‘24 but allow us to produce a good car in 2026, ‘27, ‘28. It sounds so far away in our world, but it's really important to set that right timeline out. What we’re fixing can’t be fixed overnight,” Vowles said.

The Formula One teams may be back at their bases in preparation for the 2024 season’s final three races, a triple header.
But, the sport itself is racing on, when it comes to its plans for the future, and specifically the venues where Grands Prix will be held.

Large parts of Spain were hit overnight with more torrential rain, just two weeks after more than 220 people died in flash flooding in Valencia.
It is the same weather system affecting Málaga and other parts of southern and eastern Spain.
Valencia is still recovering from a year's worth of rain in just eight hours last month.
Eight international aid groups said Tuesday that Israel has failed to meet US demands for greater humanitarian access to the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, where hunger experts say the north may already be experiencing famine.
However, the Biden administration said Tuesday it won't limit weapons transfers to Israel because the US says its key ally has done good but limited progress in increasing the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Last month, Washington told Israel to boost aid to Gaza within 30 days, or else it could trigger US laws requiring it to scale back American military support.
