Cadillac welcomes the Mobil 1™ brand as its primary sponsor of the No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The livery features the iconic Mobil 1 logo across the sides and front of the blue and white Hypercar – symbolizing a powerful collaboration in motorsport excellence.
'Mobil 1 and Cadillac Racing are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation in motorsport,' said John Roth, vice president, Global Cadillac. 'We're excited to welcome the Mobil 1 brand as the primary sponsor of the No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R for the 24 Hours of Le Mans."
With the 93rd edition of this legendary race approaching, Cadillac Racing looks to contend for the overall victory while showcasing its all-new livery featuring the Mobil 1 brand. Earlier this year, the Mobil 1 team announced an extension of its technical alliance with Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), further solidifying its role as the Official Motor Oil of Cadillac Sports Car Racing.
'Le Mans is the ultimate proving ground in motorsport, and we're proud to support Cadillac's ambitions through our continued technical partnership,' adds Tony Esposito, Strategic Global Alliance Manager, on behalf of the Mobil 1 team. 'This new livery reflects what our work with Cadillac is all about – performance, passion and pushing boundaries. We're thrilled to see it come to life on track at Le Mans, where our legacy in motorsport continues.'
While at Le Mans, Cadillac Racing will contest the twice-around-the-clock race on the 8.467-mile course incorporating public roads with a four-car factory program lineup that features drivers who have accumulated 21 Le Mans podiums.
Cadillac Racing is in its third season of WEC competition, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans among eight races, with the No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Alex Lynn, Norman Nato and Will Stevens and the No. 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Earl Bamber, Sebastien Bourdais and Jenson Button.
The No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R driven by Ricky Taylor, Jordan Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque and the No. 311 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R driven by Jack Aitken, Felipe Dragovich and Frederik Vesti are full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship contenders in the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class competing as the Nos. 10 and 31, respectively.
Cadillac Racing earned a third-place finish at Le Mans in 2023 after a 21-year hiatus and qualified second and third in 2024 with a best finish of seventh among its three-car contingent.
The Cadillac V-Series.R, powered by the purpose-built 5.5-liter DOHC V8 engine, marks the third-generation Cadillac prototype racecar and the brand's first hybrid electrified race car. Co-developed by Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing and chassis constructor Dallara, the racecar represents the fifth generation of the V-Series, incorporating key Cadillac V-Series production car design elements such as vertical lighting and floating blades.
Motorsport provides a testbed for the Cadillac and Mobil 1 brands to transfer knowledge and technology between racecars and production vehicles.
The performance, durability, and efficiency of systems tested under extreme conditions directly influence the design of Cadillac production vehicles — delivering innovation, power, and reliability to customers.

Video: PSG's Hakimi gives Brigitte Macron an awkward look

Published June 3rd, 2025 - 12:23 GMT ALBAWABA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Achraf Hakimi recently went viral on social media after a video revealed him giving Brigitte Macron an odd and awkward look during a meet-up that celebrated the football team's victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League finale. PSG won against Inter Milan 5-0 at the UEFA Champions League Final on May 31, 2025, sparking widespread celebrations on social media and in Paris' streets. Hakimi contributed to one goal out of the five scored in Milan's net. Several social media users noticed Hakimi's observatory look, alongside his teammate Lucas Hernández, who appeared visibly uncomfortable and confused. This may have stemmed from recent media coverage and controversy surrounding Brigitte Macron's appearance and identity. Recent rumors and investigations from the media claimed that Brigitte Macron is a transgener who was born a man with childhood photos as "evidence." The alleged photos were first shared by a French magazine, but quickly flooded social media with claims and reports. — Camille Moscow 🇷🇺 🌿 ☦️ (@camille_moscow) June 2, 2025 However, many reported on social media that the boy in the photos was not Brigitte Macron but "her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, from 1953, 1954, and 1955." The ongoing rumors were recently reignited by American far-right political commentator Candace Owens, who claimed that French President Emannuel Macron and his wife Brigitte sent her a "legal threat" to prevent her from speaking further about the matter in question. The rumors first occurred when two women (Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey) went on YouTube claiming that Brigitte was born in 1953 as a boy under the name "Jean-Michel Trogneux." They were later targeted in a defamation lawsuit and persecuted by a court in Normandy city. Emmanuel Macron has constantly denied the allegations mentioned above across the years, describing them as "false" and "fabricated lies." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Official: Matheus Cunha Joins Manchester United in £62.5m Deal

Manchester United have officially announced the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a reported £62.5 million, marking the club's first major signing of the summer under new manager Ruben Amorim. The deal is pending the completion of visa and registration requirements, but Cunha has already passed his medical and agreed personal terms. United released a brief statement confirming the agreement, welcoming the 25-year-old to Old Trafford. A Standout Season in the Premier League Cunha arrives following the best individual season of his career, having scored 15 goals and provided 6 assists in 33 Premier League matches — a tally that comfortably outshone any Manchester United player last season. The Red Devils finished the campaign with just 44 goals, their lowest total in the Premier League era. Across all competitions, Cunha netted 33 goals in 92 appearances for Wolves after joining from Atlético Madrid in January 2023. Financial Structure and Future Role United are set to pay the transfer fee in three instalments of £20.85 million over two years, after Wolves reportedly rejected a five-year payment plan. Cunha could also inherit the iconic No. 10 shirt previously worn by Marcus Rashford, whose future remains uncertain. Ambition and Motivation Cunha has made no secret of his desire to take the next step. Back in March, he said: 'I've made it clear I want to fight for titles and big things. I know my potential.' His departure from Wolves was emotional. In a message to fans, he wrote: 'This was the best season of my life. I made mistakes, I got things right, but I gave my all for this club. Thank you for the love.' A New-Look Attack in the Making With Rasmus Højlund underperforming and players like Garnacho, Sancho, Antony, and even Rashford linked with exits, Amorim is aiming to rebuild United's frontline. Cunha is expected to play a pivotal role in that overhaul, with United also tracking new attacking targets including Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford and Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.
