Cadillac set to confirm first F1 driver signing as race heats up for remaining seat
Formula 1 will have 11 teams on the grid from 2026 with Cadillac forming the sport's second current American team, offering two more race seats for drivers to chase Cadillac look set to confirm Sergio Perez as their first Formula 1 driver signing. The new team, which will make its debut on the grid in 2026, has been on the lookout for experienced racers to help lead their charge on track during their maiden campaign. Perez has been one of those consistently linked with the project. The Mexican has been without a place in F1 this season after he was axed by Red Bull last December, at the end of a poor season which saw him failed to make the podium in any of his last 19 races. But his has been a name regularly mentioned in the driver market this year after making it clear he was keen on a return to the grid. Perez is an attractive option for teams, given his status as a six-time race winner and also because of the significant financial backing he has, most notably from Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. Perez, 35, has held talks with Alpine as the Enstone-based outfit tries to find the solution to its own driver problem. But he has been most strongly linked with Cadillac and now there seems to have been a breakthrough. PlanetF1 reports Cadillac are set to announce the signing of Perez in the coming weeks. He is reportedly to be one of the two drivers fielded by the team next year, with the identity of the other yet to be confirmed. But it is understood that Valtteri Bottas is the other front-runner for a return to the grid. The Finn is spending this year as a reserve driver at Mercedes and has also been linked with Alpine, but his preferred choice is believes to be the new project. Speaking to Mirror Sport earlier this year, Bottas said: "The new team joining the sport is also exciting. I think Cadillac, what we've seen so far, looks a really cool and interesting project. "As a driver, you can kind of start from scratch. Everything is new, so you can actually make a really big impact and, for me, that's quite interesting. There's been some [discussions]. But they are not in a rush and neither am I, really."

But if he does fail to land a seat on the 2026 grid, the Finn revealed that a move across the pond could be on the cards. He added: "F1 is the priority, but then I've got to have a plan B. And one solid option would be IndyCar – I've had some discussions, yeah. I think just over the years in this sport, I've learned you need to have a plan B. Until pen hits the paper here, nothing is confirmed and I saw it last year, how things went. So I'm not doing that mistake again."

Trump's pick to lead BLS suggests suspending monthly jobs reports
"Until it is corrected, the BLS should suspend issuing the monthly job reports but keep publishing the more accurate, though less timely, quarterly data," Antoni said. "Major decision-makers from Wall Street to DC rely on these numbers, and a lack of confidence in the data has far-reaching consequences." More: Trump names conservative economist E.J. Antoni to lead Bureau of Labor Statistics If confirmed by the Senate, Antoni would replace Erika McEntarfer, an appointment of former President Joe Biden who Trump fired on Aug. 1. Trump accused McEntarfer without evidence of manipulating data for "political purposes" after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the U.S. added a disappointing 73,000 jobs in July. Trump also complained about revisions that reduced job gains in May and June by about 258,000 and portrayed a much weaker labor market than Trump has touted. More: Why jobs revisions that led Trump to fire statistics head were so huge White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt downplayed Antoni's recent remarks, saying he only "floated the idea of possibly" suspending the months jobs reports. She said it is "the plan and the hope" for the BLS to continue releasing monthly jobs reports. "We need to look at the means and the methods, and how the United States is acquiring this very important data, and all of that is going to be done," Leavitt said during an Aug. 12 briefing with reporters. "And the goal, of course, is to provide honest and good data for the American people." The Aug. 1 revisions for May and June marked the largest two-month revision ever outside of recessions, according to an anlaysis from Goldman Sachs. Each month, the BLS provides an initial reading of job gains for the previous month and revises figures from the prior two months twice based on follow-up surveys. To come up with its monthly job growth estimates, the agency surveys 631,000 job sites operated by 121,000 businesses and government agencies across the country. The bureau revises the data twice because many employers don't respond to the first survey or because officials modify the factors it uses to seasonally adjust the figures. Most economic forecasters say this year's large revisions have cleared up a disparity between surprisingly resilient job gains and other economic indicators, such as gross domestic product, that have been feeble this year.

US and China extend trade truce for another 90 days
Mr Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he signed the executive order for the extension, and that 'all other elements of the Agreement will remain the same'. Beijing at the same time also announced the extension of the tariff pause, according to the Ministry of Commerce. The previous deadline was set to expire at 12.01am on Tuesday. Had that happened the US could have ratcheted up taxes on Chinese imports from an already high 30%, and Beijing could have responded by raising retaliatory levies on US exports to China. The pause buys time for the two countries to work out some of their differences, perhaps clearing the way for a summit later this year between Mr Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and it has been welcomed by the US companies doing business with China. China said on Tuesday it would extend relief to American companies who were placed on an export control list and an unreliable entities list. After Mr Trump initially announced tariffs in April, China restricted exports of dual-use goods to some American companies, while banning others from trading or investing in China. The Ministry of Commerce said it would stop those restrictions for some companies, while giving others another 90-day extension. Reaching a pact with China remains unfinished business for Mr Trump, who has already upended the global trading system by slapping double-digit taxes – tariffs – on almost every country on earth. The EU, Japan and other trading partners agreed to lopsided trade deals with Mr Trump, accepting once unthinkably US high tariffs (15% on Japanese and EU imports, for instance) to ward off something worse. US President Donald Trump speaks with reporters in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House (Alex Brandon/AP) In June, the US and China reached an agreement to ease tensions. The US said it would pull back export restrictions on computer chip technology and ethane, a feedstock in petrochemical production, and China agreed to make it easier for US firms to get access to rare earths. 'The US has realised it does not have the upper hand,' said Claire Reade, senior counsel at Arnold & Porter and former assistant US trade representative for China affairs. In May, the US and China had averted an economic catastrophe by reducing massive tariffs they'd slapped on each other's products, which had reached as high as 145% against China and 125% against the US. Those triple-digit tariffs threatened to effectively end trade between the US and China and caused a frightening sell-off in financial markets. In a May meeting in Geneva, America's tariffs went back down to a still-high 30% and China's to 10%. Ms Reade does not expect much beyond limited agreements such as the Chinese saying they will buy more American soybeans and promising to do more to stop the flow of chemicals used to make fentanyl and to allow the continued flow of rare-earth magnets. But the tougher issues will likely linger, and 'the trade war will continue grinding ahead for years into the future', said Jeff Moon, a former US diplomat and trade official.
