Fans usually only see what happens on race day, but this series captures so much more. It's great to have documentaries like this that bring fans closer to the sport and show the reality of what it takes to compete at this level.'
Dan Ticktum also said, 'Filming Formula E: Driver was pretty intense, but I really enjoyed it. I like the fact that Formula E and all of the guys at Astronaut were very keen on having drivers express who they are.
A lot of the filming was very fun, and I was able to be myself a lot of the time. Hopefully, the series will give a good insight into what it's like being a

The Miz's WWE future in doubt amid social media silence and veteran releases
Image via WWE WWE has shocked fans recently with the release of veteran superstars R-Truth and Carlito. Both wrestlers were beloved figures who had long tenures with the company. Their departures came as contracts expired, sparking concerns among fans about the company's direction. R-Truth's exit was especially surprising given that he headlined Saturday Night's Main Event just days before parting ways with WWE. The roster shake-up led to immediate speculation about who might be next. All eyes quickly turned to The Miz, a seasoned WWE star known for his charisma and media presence. The Miz scrubs WWE references from social media In a move that has fans talking, The Miz removed all mentions of WWE from his social media profiles shortly after R-Truth's release. Once boasting the title 'the most must-see WWE Superstar,' his X bio now reads simply: 'the most must-read Twitter account of all time.' Moreover, he unfollowed WWE's official account, fueling speculation that his WWE status might be in jeopardy. The Miz's online behavior is unusual for someone still fully engaged with WWE, especially given his typical role as a vocal promoter and ambassador of the brand. Wrestling insider Bryan Alvarez weighed in on the situation during a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Live . Alvarez confirmed that The Miz is currently involved with Amazon Prime's reboot of American Gladiators, which may explain some of his recent absence from WWE programming. However, Alvarez added, 'I just think it would be a pretty lame thing to do if you're not being released - when everyone else has been released. So where there's smoke, there could be fire.' Such comments have fans wondering if WWE is quietly preparing to phase out the 44-year-old superstar. Despite the growing rumours, WWE has not confirmed any plans regarding The Miz's contract. Reports from wrestling news outlets indicate that The Miz has not been officially informed about any potential release or non-renewal. Still, with WWE focusing on refreshing its roster and moving on from long-tenured stars, uncertainty around The Miz's future remains high. Since signing with WWE in 2004 and debuting on the main roster in 2006, The Miz has been a consistent presence in professional wrestling. He holds two WWE Championships and nine tag team titles, marking him as one of the company's most successful performers. Whether The Miz's social media moves signal a temporary break or the beginning of the end of his WWE career, fans will be watching closely for updates.

Oliver Rowland opens up about Shanghai E-Prix, gears up for Jakarta race
Image credit: Oliver Rowland/Instagram Oliver Rowland has been having a fantastic season and is currently on top of the Formula E Driver Standings. However, the Nissan driver couldn't get a podium in Shanghai but had a decent showing in one of the races. He has now shared a post after getting ten points in one race and nothing in the other. Oliver Rowland on Shanghai E-Prix Oliver Rowland finished in fifth position with ten points in Race 1 of the Shanghai E-Prix. He finished 13th in the second race. He currently stands on top of the Driver Standings with 171 points. Sharing a bunch of pictures from the Shanghai E-Prix on Instagram, Oliver Rowland wrote, 'Not my best weekend. Struggled from the off but managed to bring home some decent points on Saturday. Full focus on Jakarta!' Rowland's fans came out in support of him in the comments section. A fan wrote, 'You'll be back stronger in Jakarta!! Still some good points on Saturday so well done!' Another said, 'You'll be back at the front at the next one, still got important championship points at the last event. Good luck with the rest of the championship.' One more commented, 'With everything in Jakarta, good luck Oli!' Oliver Rowland's performance in 2025 Oliver Rowland still remains uncatchable on the track with four wins this season, including the latest one at the Tokyo E-Prix. He also won in Mexico, Jeddah, and Monaco this year. Besides the four wins, he got second podiums in one of the races at the Jeddah double-header, Tokyo double-header, and Monaco double-header. Rowland recently told Formula E in Tokyo, "My mentality now is to keep attacking, to not really change anything. I'm not going to become conservative, because I've seen many sports over the years, and how pressure, thinking about these things or trying to engineer them too much can actually be a downfall. I'm going to go out there and race just as I have been from the beginning of the season, and hopefully we can keep the results up. My current goal is to extend to the point where it makes things quite easy at the end [of the season]."

Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb's long journey back after a gruesome knee injury is almost over
PITTSBURGH — Cole Holcomb listened patiently and politely shook his head. No, the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker isn't interested in reliving the gruesome knee injury that forced him to miss a season-and-a-half. Living through it once was punishment enough. Holcomb was chasing after wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on a Thursday night game in November 2023 when a diving teammate slammed into Holcomb's left leg, shredding multiple ligaments in his knee. How bad was it? The Amazon Prime crew broadcasting the game showed it in slow motion once and decided that was enough. The road back took longer than Holcomb, an admittedly impatient person, ever imagined. He was cleared to return to practice near the end of last season, but never did pull his No. 55 jersey over his increasingly broad shoulders when it counted. The Fear of Missing Out wasn't helped when he watched the middle of Pittsburgh's defense get gashed repeatedly during a five-game skid that culminated in a blowout loss to Baltimore in the opening round of the playoffs. 'Definitely had some days where, you know, you just want to be out there and it's frustrating,' Holcomb said Tuesday, his forehead beaded with sweat after the fourth of the Steelers' six voluntary organized team activities. 'But you know, it's kind of just one of those take each day, one day at a time and just keep chopping.' While Holcomb's inherent confidence led him to believe he was always going to make it back, he knows nothing was guaranteed. The doctors told him there was a chance he'd never play again. It wasn't merely a scare tactic. 'They basically were emphasizing how important the rehab was going to be,' he said. 'You know, if guys don't take it as serious and they don't put the work in, they won't be able to make it back. But if you put the work in, you do the extra stuff, you come every day, no matter how bad you don't want to, all that kind of stuff, you can come back.' The group Holcomb returns to is not the one he left. During his lengthy absence, the Steelers signed Patrick Queen to the richest free agent contract in team history and drafted Payton Wilson, who Holcomb once hosted when Holcomb was at North Carolina and Wilson was a coveted recruit. While Holcomb looks 'more chiseled' as Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick put it, that's not the only way in which he has changed. Watching from the sidelines during games let him take a step back and analyze things in real time that are kind of hard to come by when you're on the field five yards from the line of scrimmage. 'I'm 30 yards back watching the thing and I'm, like 'Oh, I know this, I know this is about to happen,'' he said. 'But it's like, hey, it's easy to see that from back here. But it has definitely helped seeing the forest or the trees kind of thing.' So much so that the 28-year-old could envision going into coaching one day, which his wife, Casey, is 'not too happy about." There were times last season when Holcomb certainly sounded like one. 'He's very vocal, he tries to help everyone out,' Wilson said. 'He knows a lot about the game. He studies a lot. It's cool to be around that guy to see how he watches film and diagnoses stuff.' Yet whatever coaching Holcomb might get into is for down the road. For now, he is focused on trying to get back to being the player who looked every bit worth the $18 million investment the Steelers made in him when they signed him in March 2023. He's less than thrilled that it took this long. Yet if he's learned anything over the last year-plus, it's that he can't take anything for granted. 'The day you think like, 'OK, I hit this milestone,' well, 24 hours later, that's over, got to get moving on to the next step," he said. 'I wasn't really like, focusing on like 'How many months is it until I can run' or anything like that. You're like, 'What do I got tomorrow?'' What Holcomb has now is a clean bill of health. Seven weeks from now, he'll be in training camp, where he'll be able to hit somebody hard for the first time in nearly two years. He's already practicing. During a drill last week, Holcomb would hit the blocking sled, then turn his attention to Wilson, who was holding a pad. The goal was for Holcomb to drive his shoulder into the pad. He did that, and in the process momentarily lifted the 240-pound Wilson off the ground a time or two before gently placing him back down. Maybe it was Holcomb sending a message to someone who took his place in the starting lineup. Or maybe Holcomb was just settling accounts. Wilson, after all, opted for N.C. State rather than the Tar Heels, though Wilson insisted it had nothing to do with his weekend spent with Holcomb on the North Carolina campus. 'No, not at all,' Wilson said, then added to laughter, 'It was more so like the 5,000 people that go to games there and that's it.' /hub/nfl
