Bottas, Perez to race for Cadillac F1 team in 2026

By in News, World News

After Cadillac announced the signing of the multiple race winners as the team’s debut driver pairing, Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas will return to the starting lineup for the 2015 season.

The General Motors-backed outfit announced on Tuesday, “Mexico and Finn, both have multiyear deals,” without providing further information.

Perez, a six-time champion, and Bottas, a Mercedes driver, both won ten races, are 35 years old and have unfinished business after being dropped by Red Bull and Sauber teams, a respective, in 2024.

Although some younger prospects had been touted, the announcement was anticipated.

In a video conference with reporters, team CEO Dan Towriss stated that “we think their experience, their leadership, and their technical acumen are really what we need.”

“We’re humbled by their faith in us in this project because it’s the right combination – the right drivers at the right time.”

Both men worked for Mercedes alongside two of the sport’s legends: Bottas as a sidekick to Lewis Hamilton, who is now seven-time world champion, and Perez with four-time world champion Max Verstappen at Red Bull.

Additionally, they have a total of 106 podium appearances and more than 500 race starts between them (Bottas 246 and Perez 281).

Towriss expressed concern for Perez, particularly as he attempted to “put in the rearview mirror” his most recent performance slump with Red Bull.

He continued, “We had questions, we had scepticism, and he answered all of our questions and won our tests with flying colors.”

As the 11th team, Cadillac will face a steep learning curve as it enters the new engine era, which will allow it to use Ferrari power units until 2029 when General Motors aims to have its own.

Perez and Bottas, who are currently Mercedes reserve this year, both expressed excitement about the start of afresh.

This is a long-term vision, not just a racing project. Not every day does it occur to you to get a chance to help build something from the ground up and make it something that truly belongs on the F1 grid,” Bottas said.

“I’ve had the honor of working with some of the world’s best teams, and I can already see this level of professionalism and hunger.”

Perez expressed his pride in being a part of such a challenging and important project from beginning to end. I think we can work together to make this team a real contender.

Sergio Perez, who has a record of 281 starts in the Formula One and six GP victories, joins the Cadillac startup team.

‘This is the only celebrity perfume I’ve ever loved – it gets me so many compliments’

By in Entertainment News, News

Although celebrity fragrances aren’t always to everyone’s taste, our beauty editor Laura Mulley says, “I’m so impressed with this new launch because it smells so luxurious.”

You might initially turn your back on celebrity perfumes if you’re a bit of a fan of fragrances, but for a long time I was. I’ve been considering this new A-lister’s release seriously, though.

Selena Gomez’s beauty brand Rare Beauty, which sells for £71 for a 50ml bottle, just launched its first perfume, Rare Eau De Parfum. It has quickly grown to be a new firm favorite for a number of reasons, not to mention the fact that it has become a particularly adored one.

Amy Dowden credits “amazing” serum for encouraging hair growth following chemotherapy.

First, the bottle. It has been so thoughtfully designed, and not only does it look great, it looks luxe and unobtrusive in muted pink and nude colors, and doesn’t look like a posh pot of face cream. To create an accessible bottle that is accessible to everyone, including those with motor disabilities, RARE Beauty collaborated with certified hand therapists.

This includes a large, wide atomizer that can even be pushed with your palm, a short, squat shape that won’t topple over, and a twist lock-unlock mechanism that eliminates fussy little lids. It’s incredibly simple and satisfying to spray, and a lot of mist is also dispersed with each pump, making it so much easier and satisfying for someone without any motor problems.

Of course, the smell is probably what matters most, and I was delighted to learn that it also wins. The exact notes are as follows:

  • Top: Pink Pepper, Pistachio, and Caramel.
  • Mid: Cocoa Beans, Ginger, and Vanilla
  • Sandalwood, Tonka Beans, and Skin Musks are dry.

Given Selena’s fan base, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this is a gourmand fragrance, which is very popular these days. I agree with most celeb fragrances, and gourmands are. This is a true cosy cashmere jumper of a fragrance rather than sickly sweet and young.

It’s really simple to wear and doesn’t smell cloying, and my boyfriend only ever complimented it, which is unusual.

I do need to re-spritz my skin a few times throughout the day if there is one thing I can’t stand. It doesn’t last the longest on my skin. I keep it on my desk and am more than happy to reapply throughout the day because it really makes me a lot of joy every time I press down.

A gourmand like D. S. &amp, DURGA Deep Dark Vanilla, £155, or Kayali Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum, £73, might be the choice for you if you’re looking for one that’s more likely to last on the skin. The light, airy PHLUR Vanilla Skin Body Mist, available for £25, is at the other end of the strength spectrum.

Why does the temperature feel hotter than the forecast says?

By in News, World News

Have you ever noticed that the weather forecast displays the actual temperature as well as a “feels like” temperature?

Because 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) feels very different from 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) when it’s dry and breezy from 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) when it’s stagnant and humid.

In this visual explanation, we highlight the regions where heat stress is highest and show the differences between air temperature and “feels like” temperature.

First, how are temperatures determined?

A network of weather stations spread out all over the world is what determines the temperature you see on the weather app or the news app on your phone.

Weather stations typically place specialist platinum resistance thermometers inside shaded Stevenson screens to ensure accurate readings.

Measurements are made at a typical height of 1.22 to 4.56 feet (4 to 6.56 feet). This gives an accurate reading of how hot people actually feel.

Celsius and Fahrenheit are two well-known temperature scales.

Only a select few nations, including the United States, use Fahrenheit as their official scale. The Celsius scale, which was developed in 1742 in honor of Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who was the inventor of the 0-100 degree freezing and boiling point scale, is used by the majority of the world.

What is measured by “feeling like” temperature?

Your body’s actual body temperature may not always be measured by air temperature alone.

In hot weather, the “feels like” temperature is frequently included in weather reports.

Taking into account factors like humidity, wind speed, and sun exposure, this temperature adjustment adjusts the air temperature to reflect how your body actually experiences it.

Humidity

How much water vapour is in the air according to humidity?

The human body is most effective when it is 98.6F or around 37C. Blood vessels widen to circulate more blood to the skin, and sweat glands release moisture that evaporates to keep heat from being carried away.

However, evaporation slows down as the cooling system cools down and raises the risk of overheating even when sweating.

Wind tenacity

Wind tenacity affects the “feels like” temperature in two opposite ways, depending on whether it is cold or hot.

Wind blows away the thin layer of warm air that has been wicked away from your body during cold weather. The wind may feel colder the faster.

A light breeze can help evaporate sweat in hot weather, making it feel cooler.

INTERACTIVE-air-heat stress - August 26, 2025-1756208110

Sun exposure

Because your body absorbs infrared radiation from the sun, it feels hotter than the shaded air temperature. Direct sunlight adds more warmth, which makes shaded areas feel cooler even if the thermometer reads the same.

What degree of heat stress is there?

When the body stores more heat than it can release, it causes heat stress. High air temperatures, elevated humidity, and direct sunlight can all contribute, but physical activity can also play a role.

The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) is used to quantify how weather affects people physiologically. It has 10 thermal stress categories, including extreme heat (above 46C/115F) and extreme cold (below -40C/-40F).

The “feels like” temperature can differ from the actual air temperature by up to 15C (27F) or even more.

The “feels like” temperature is a measure of the difference between the actual air temperature and the “feels like” temperature in various cities. Cities with high humidity or direct sunlight frequently experience significantly higher “feels like” temperatures, while windy or cold locations can feel significantly colder.

Where is the highest temperature?

The World Health Organization notes that heat stress is the primary cause of weather-related deaths and can worsen underlying conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health, and asthma. It also raises the risk of accidents and the spread of a number of infectious diseases.

Baghdad, Iraq has the highest heat stress level in the world, with Kuwait City, Kuwait at 50.3C (122.5F), and Doha, Qatar, at 49.2C (120.6F), according to data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).

The regions typically experience the most heat stress when they combine extremely hot temperatures, high humidity, and intense sun exposure.

Dortmund sign Chelsea’s Chukwuemeka in £24m deal

Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka has been given a five-year contract by Borussia Dortmund.

The 21-year-old joined the German club in a deal that could be worth about £24 million after spending the second half of last season on loan there.

After earning a £20 million move from Aston Villa in 2022, the attacking midfielder made 32 appearances for Chelsea.

Aaron Anselmino, a Blues defender, has agreed to join Dortmund on a season-long loan and flown to Germany to finish the deal.

The Blues must maintain a positive transfer balance this summer in order to be able to sign their new signings for the Champions League this year, according to the governing body of European football, Uefa.

It comes after they were fined £26.7 million for breaking Uefa’s football earnings guidelines and had a squad cost ratio of over 80% of their income split up in wages.

Before the transfer deadline on Monday, a number of other players, including defender Ben Chilwell, winger Raheem Sterling, and forwards Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, and Tyrique George, have been linked with leaving Stamford Bridge.

Clarkson’s Farm star Harriet Cowan announces big career move and fans are excited

By in Entertainment News, News

After becoming a huge hit on Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime, Harriet Cowan has decided to change careers. She has “got the farming bug.”

Harriet Cowan, who rose to fame on Clarkson’s Farm, is accustomed to managing numerous duties throughout her busy life. She previously revealed her dreams of pursuing full-time agricultural work whilst maintaining her nursing career, taking on board both of her parents’ careers.

The 24-year-old was working lengthy shifts as a nurse before switching into her farming attire and getting her hands dirty with livestock and land at her family’s business. However, it appears she may have had a change of heart, and she’s decided to prioritise other things. Harriet has now caught the ‘bug’ for farming and wishes to make it her exclusive profession.

She has since experienced this transformation as a result of her success on Amazon Prime, which has earned her millions of TikTok likes and nearly 800,000 TikTok followers.

After earning enough money to concentrate solely on farming work, Harriet has confirmed that she is “no longer nursing.”

She’s also verified this will encompass a YouTube career through her channel ‘Harriet On The Farm,’ which will feature day-in-the-life style vlogs showcasing her farm activities, and will also include her partner James.

On August 31st, her eagerly awaited debut video is set to air.

Despite her complete attention turning to agriculture, Harriet acknowledged she would still undertake some NHS shifts to keep her passion going.

These wouldn’t be “daily,” though because she has a lot of other commitments to balance.

Harriet stated, “The cat’s a little out of the bag. It’s true that I’m no longer nursing because it seems like I have the bug. You are absolutely aware of the problem, and yes, I have the farming bug.

And I’ve always had it, but, you’re aware, I didn’t really have any other income before. On August 31st, Harriet from Harriet on the farm will be available to you.

“I’m going to work in the NHS and do bank shifts, but not every day,” I said.

Harriet described the fame she’d gained as “insane” in a previous TikTok video, saying she couldn’t “thank people enough” for wanting to “get involved” in her journey.

Harriet stated that she wanted her platform to be “100% positive,” to inspire people to work in farming, or to simply enjoy her videos.
