McLaren supporters may have been the subject of a lot of success in recent years, but CEO Zak Brown believes that better times are ahead, and a large part of this excitement is due to young driver Oscar Piastri. The 22-year-old Australian has also shown his lighter side to his legion of followers.

Jessica Michibata (left and right with her ex-husband Jenson Button), 38, was arrested after a parcel carrying the drug was delivered to a hotel where she was staying with a relative, according to people familiar with the probe.

'I'm sorry that my sister screamed this time,' Angelica wrote on Tuesday.

Lewis Hamilton has sluggishly told two former world champions that he will sign a new contract with Mercedes. The British actor was responding to Jenson Button and Damon Hill, who cast doubt on whether Hamilton would continue fighting if he were driving a substandard vehicle. The 37-year-old asked if he was going into the season thinking of it as his last hurrah as the weekend began on Sunday. 'Not all of it,' he said. "It is ultimately people making uprumors that are untru, and it is never helpful, and you would have guessed that by now, they would all know me."

Lewis Hamilton, according to Jenson Button, is delaying his decision on a new contract with Mercedes until he sees how competitive they are going to be this season. Hamilton, 38, who is aiming for his eighth world championship title before retirement, has yet to sign a new one, which is set to expires at the end of 2023. Mercedes has maintained that a new multi-year contract is the first in a formality since the start of last season. Last month, Team Toto Wolff said it was just a matter of'sticking our heads together, debating a bit, and then leaving the room with white smoke after a few hours.'
