Round 3 of the Formula One season is usually the point in the season where the honeymoon phase of the opening season fades, and we all get a proper sense of how the rounds ahead will most likely unfold. And the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka, a peculiar track with its sweeping yet stringent corners and rhythm, did just that.  It’s no longer just a matter of Mercedes versus Ferrari as the season has now taken on a more complex silhouette. McLaren, now in recovery mode from

A livery in F1 is not designed to sit under controlled lighting or on a rotating platform; it is designed to move, blur at 300 km/h, flash through onboard cameras, and catch the eye beneath floodlights and grandstand glare. Launch renders and studio unveilings offer only a static and partial truth.  Now that the 2026 cars are finally in their natural environment, at speed and surrounded by the full theatre of a Formula One weekend, we can finally begin to judge the season’s l

The battle of the Silver Arrows and the Prancing Horse continued at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix. What began in Melbourne as a possibility now looks like the defining fight of Formula One’s 76th season.   The sole Free Practice session of the weekend was chaotic due to heavy traffic, debris on the track, a Virtual Safety Car, and drivers still struggling to adjust to the new car's rhythms. Yet the Mercedes was, for the most part, poised and composed. George Russell topped the

The first race of a new Formula One era rarely offers clarity. New regulations mean unfamiliar cars, unpredictable performance swings, and teams still finessing their machinery. The opening race is usually when numerous questions emerge, and answers take shape over time. The 2026 Australian Grand Prix, however, didn’t just open a curious season. It hinted at the shape of both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships.  The weekend began with the kind of chaos that tends to

After three months of restless Sundays, Formula One is finally back. In honor of the new technical era the sport has entered and its unpredictable nature, I would like to share my list of predictions for the year.  I’ve organized my bullet-point thoughts into four categories:  Championship Contenders  - the team and drivers I’m fairly certain have the strongest chance of winning the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships in 2026.  Challengers  - the teams and drivers that I

Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, and the rare moments haute fashion met Olympic figure skating High fashion has rarely made its way onto the Olympic ice. Not because it lacks beauty, but because figure skating demands more than mere aesthetics. The costumes must withstand the physics and complement the performance without overpowering the sport's athletic dynamism. In the instances we have seen couture touch the rink, it has always been chic. The fashion didn’t just dress the sk

As the world turns its gaze toward the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics (hosted in the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo), the global event is set to become a style stage as much as a sports competition. Behind every medal-chasing athlete is a carefully designed kit to represent their country. From Adidas to Ralph Lauren, these iconic brands are shaping the Games' visual culture. What emerges is a global fashion moment that celebrates athletic excellence, nati

A Season of High Stakes At the beginning of the season, the world collectively agreed on three clear contenders for the Drivers’ Championship title: Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, and Oscar Piastri. This rivalry became the central focus of the entire season. Fans eagerly awaited a victor to emerge from the tussle. The question lingering on everyone’s minds was, who would it be? As if an omnipotent author was scripting the season, the answer was only revealed at the very end, d

From the moment the lights went out until the chequered flag was waved, the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix felt tense in a cinematic and butterflies in the deeply pitted stomach with that eerie feeling that one is watching history being written in real time. And history it was - a genuine three-way fight between Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen, all three of whom qualified pole position, P2, and P3.  Here’s the thing: Qatar was almost the end. Lando Norris was expected

Finally, some news! The first Monday in May has been circled, highlighted, underlined, and bookmarked across the fashion world. The 2026 Met Gala is shaping up to be one of the most iconic years for the Costume Institute, and as such, we may as well step in early to track what’s confirmed and what this might mean for the red carpet spectacle to come.  The Date: May 4, 2026 The Met Gala maintains its traditional ritual of taking place on the first Monday in May, May 4th, 2026.

The 75th Formula One season has had Quarter Quell energy, but there is just something about the Las Vegas Grand Prix that heightens it. I think it’s the constant neon bright lights, the celebrity presence, the fanfare, the night racing, and the overall defining camp that make this race quite peculiar. It is also a high-pressure cooker for Championship points, and the outcome of this year’s race has increased the stakes in what is another addition to the biggest plot twists of

I have been anticipating this race since the summer break. It is one of the best tracks and one of the best races on the calendar. The Autódromo José Carlos Pace, commonly known as Interlagos, has hosted the São Paulo Grand Prix since 2021 and previously hosted the Brazilian Grand Prix in various periods (1972-1977, 1979-1980, 1990-2019). It is an old-school track that is reputed for hosting on-track drama, which completely throws the season's script out of the window. This y

The Sprint The track temperature soared to 42°C (108°F), while the air temperature reached 29°C (84°F). This prompted drivers to opt for cooling vests for the second race in a row after the Singaporean Grand Prix. Then came the dreaded Turn 1 of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). In the midst of post-lights scrimmaging, both McLarens were instantly wiped out. It was an instant DNF for Piastri and Norris, with Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso joining them. There was enough debr

I’ve always believed that the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was one of the spicier races on the calendar, but 2025’s edition was sheer pandemonium. It was, however, nice to see the weekend play out differently. Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025: A Race to Remember Qualifying Chaos Qualifying, for one, was barely a fight for pole. What was supposed to be about an hour ended up being nearly two hours due to six red flags. This was the most in F1 history, halting the session repeatedly. Here’s
