Who will win a 2026 Grand Prix? "We are receiving calls from prime ministers, from governments that really want to host the Grand Prix," F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali told CNBC's "Inside Track." The Belgian Grand Prix adds an estimated $248 million to the national economy each year. Abu Dhabi, which held its first Grand Prix in 2009, spent $40 billion constructing an artificial island to do it. "It didn't have anything before the plans for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix."

The most financially successful event to date was the first-ever Grand Prix in Las Vegas, which generated close to $1.5 billion in economic value, according to local officials. But communities had been feeling F1's local impact even before it broke into the United States. The Australian Grand Prix's economic impact came in around 266 million Australian dollars ($180 million) in 2023, according to EY. "We think it provides enormous economic impact to the state of Victoria and to Melburnians," he added.

"When you think about F1, you think about speed, you think about innovation, you think about efficiency," Ellen Jones, F1's Head of ESG, told CNBC's "Inside Track." The race cars themselves make up a tiny fraction of the sport's total emissions, at just 0.7%. In 2019, F1 established its sustainability strategy, setting an ambitious target to become net zero by 2030. "The key about our net zero by 2030 commitment is it's not just F1.

Bryn Lennon - Formula 1 | Formula 1 | Getty ImagesDoing this with a digital twin allows teams to develop strategies for different circuits. With 24 races on the schedule and only a handful of days in between, forecasting track performance is critical to ensuring engineers are ready to make any necessary changes. While teams are allowed up to 60 operational staff at the track on race days, each is communicating with analysts back at headquarters. "Everyone there will be looking at their computer and providing feedback to the racetrack engineers with recommendations that can be actioned onto the race car." With the cost-cap limiting budgets to $135 million per year, automating repetitive tasks is crucial to ensuring teams are using their resources efficiently.

☆ Taylor Swift’s tartan VMAs look was an edgy step away from her signature style

CNN —Taylor Swift was among the many stars to channel ’90s fashion at the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday, wearing a chic taffeta bustier and skirt by Dior. But with its punk-accented stylings, in the form of black buckles, collar and zipped fitted front, Swift’s version is, by far, the edgiest. Quoting its founder Christian Dior, the brand called tartan “the only fancy fabric that resists fashions” in the show notes. The look on Wednesday night was a departure from Swift’s typical red carpet style. Taylor Swift's outfit was hot off the Dior Cruise 2025 runway, staged in Perthshire, Scotland.

☆ How plaid became popular for school uniforms
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-05 | by ( Jacqui Palumbo | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

CNN —As students return to school, one patterned textile now synonymous with uniforms will make its seasonal reappearance on pleated skirts, jumpers and ties: plaid. It’s a family of textiles with broad scholarly appeal, with both religious and secular schools worldwide incorporating plaid into uniforms, from Mexico to Japan to Australia. Centuries of romanticizing Highlander clanship and identity has likely influenced our contemporary understanding of the textile, Maxwell noted. But the textile didn’t become a fixture of school uniforms until the 1960s, according to historian and educator Sally Dwyer-McNulty, who authored “Common Threads: A Cultural History of Clothing in American Catholicism” in 2014. (Dwyer-McNulty herself attended two different Catholic schools in Philadelphia, wearing plaid uniforms through high school).

CNN —Lewis Hamilton won his home race at the British Grand Prix on Sunday, battling to a thrilling, record-extending victory as the lead changed hands several times on a rain-slicked track at Silverstone. For Hamilton to win his last British Grand Prix with Mercedes – the team with whom he dominated the sport for so long – seemed like a “fairytale,” team principal Toto Wolff told broadcaster Sky Sports after the race. Lewis Hamilton celebrates on the podium after winning the British Grand Prix. “This is my last race here at the British Grand Prix with this team, so I wanted to win this so much for them. But both Mercedes cars ran wide off the track across the run-off shortly afterwards, allowing Norris to overtake Russell and then to accelerate past Hamilton too.

As Michael Pachter, a managing director at Wedbush Securities who's covered movies, entertainment, and tech for two decades, explained, it's because they've still got that $100 million deal.
