Formula 1
teams are known for axing drivers over lack of performance, and Alpine is the new one to join in after Red Bull to axe a driver over the same.
Sergio Perez
, who was replaced by Liam Lawson at Red Bull after the 2024 F1 season, is now open to good options to make a comeback in 2026. Several reports have claimed that besides the name of the new 11th F1 team, Cadillac, doing the rounds, Alpine also seems to be considering Perez to drive alongside
Pierre Gasly

Sergio Perez may join either Alpine or Cadillac
After Liam Lawson was sent back from Red Bull to Racing Bulls due to poor performance,
Jack Doohan
is the second rookie to be sent back to his former designation of a reserve driver for Alpine. He has been replaced by
Franco Colapinto
for the next five races, which the team boss says is for evaluation purposes. But now it seems even Colapinto is not a permanent replacement for Doohan, and only his terrific performance in the next F1 races can earn him a permanent place alongside Pierre Gasly. Otherwise, Sergio Perez may be called in if he doesn't choose Cadillac as his new team next year.
Sharing his interest in joining a new F1 team next year, Sergio Perez had said at the León State Fair, "Now I'm in an incredible, dreamy position, which I didn't even realise I was in, so if you ask me now, I don't know.'

While Sergio Perez is reportedly being considered for Alpine, one cannot prove how safe Pierre Gasly is at Alpine. Jack Doohan's father and motorcycle race champion Mick Doohan had recently compared his son's F1 stats with that of Gasly in consecutive posts on his Instagram Stories. And F1 fans could see there wasn't a stark difference.

Sergio Perez, lovingly called Checo by his fans, was removed from Red Bull at the end of last season, just a year after he emerged as the runner-up in the Formula One World Drivers' Championship in 2023. He was just behind the leading champion and teammate Max Verstappen at number 2 with 285 points that year.

Piquet also posted a series of photos with Lily from a photoshoot on Instagram. She captioned it as, 'Just a little over a month since my heart experienced for the second time the most amazing love in the world.' 'Words can't describe what it is to feel a love so profound. Becoming a mother again has reminded me of the beauty, strength and softness that live within us. Thank you my little one for choosing me,' he added. Verstappen's mother replied, 'Sweet Lily, we love you so much.' Piquet already has a five-year-old daughter, whose name is Penelope. She shares the child with ex-F1 dricer Daniil Kvyat. Recently, in an interview, she revealed, 'I breathe motorsport. It's something that comes naturally to me. And in the end, I've started a family with an F1 driver. Well, not married yet, but we've started a family. It wasn't planned on purpose. I've had several relationships with men who weren't in that field, but it was just meant to be.' She also added, 'It's been six weeks. So it was also hard to come here today because my daughter is the only thing I'll be focused on this summer. I'm taking the time before I resume my professional activities.'

Baba Vanga warned us! Alien UFO sighting could disrupt a major 2025 sports event live on TV
Baba Vanga's 2025 UFO prediction As we move past the halfway mark of 2025, a decades-old prophecy by Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga has reentered global discourse. Known for her extraordinary foresight—having reportedly predicted major events such as the 9/11 terror attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic—Vanga's predictions continue to fuel intrigue and debate long after her death in 1996. One particular forecast, said to be intended for this very year, has captivated the imaginations of believers and skeptics alike. According to followers and reports from the Daily Mail, Baba Vanga predicted a "new light in the sky" would appear during a globally viewed sports event in 2025. This strange occurrence, she hinted, would not only surprise the world but also mark the beginning of humanity's first contact with extraterrestrial life. Baba Vanga's UFO prediction: Alien contact at a sports event The claim that a bright light will appear in the sky during a globally watched sports event is one of the more cryptic predictions attributed to Baba Vanga. According to interpretations documented by her followers and reported in the Daily Mail, the prophecy describes this light as neither destructive nor fearsome. Instead, it is said to bring answers—possibly suggesting a peaceful encounter with non-human intelligence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo While Vanga did not specify the name, location, or type of the sporting event in question, the ambiguity has only intensified public curiosity. Some followers have associated the forecast with contact from an alien civilization, while others propose symbolic or astronomical meanings. Will Baba Vanga's UFO prediction hit Wimbledon, F1, or the World Series? Because Vanga did not specify which sporting event would coincide with the mysterious light, speculation has ranged widely. The Super Bowl, which occurred in February 2025, was initially thought to be the likely candidate due to its global viewership. However, no UFO sightings or unexplained lights were reported during or around the event. Still, the year offers several other major global sporting events that could fulfill the conditions of the prediction: Wimbledon Tennis Championships – July 2025 World Series (Baseball) – October 2025 Formula 1 Championship Final – December 2025 Any of these could potentially be the setting for the mysterious "light in the sky" Vanga mentioned. Believers are now turning their attention to these upcoming events in hopes of witnessing something extraordinary. UFOs are real? Baba Vanga's prediction aligns with US military sightings In recent years, the discourse around UFOs has shifted from fringe speculation to serious investigation. Under the Trump administration, the US government declassified several documents detailing interactions between military forces and unidentified flying objects. These disclosures included credible sightings, radar data, and pilot testimonies. The Daily Mail reported that over 100 US Customs and Border Protection agents claimed to have seen unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). One such case involved a military fighter jet allegedly colliding with a UFO over the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range in 2023. These revelations have led many to believe that if Baba Vanga's prediction does come true, it may not be a standalone incident but part of a broader pattern of increasing extraterrestrial visibility. South American scientists claim alien DNA: Is this the light Baba Vanga saw? In parallel, South American scientists have been at the center of otherworldly headlines. Researchers in Peru have claimed to possess mummified alien bodies and mysterious objects resembling probes. Some of these specimens reportedly have DNA that does not match any known Earth species, according to preliminary analyses. In Colombia, a UFO was allegedly spotted flying in a zigzag pattern over the town of Buga. Witnesses described its movement as unlike any conventional aircraft. The object was reportedly recovered and studied by scientists, who revealed it contained three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres embedded around a central 'chip.' Dr. Jose Luis Velazquez, a radiologist who examined one such object, confirmed it had no welds or visible joints—an anomaly that challenges the theory of man-made construction. Could the 'light' be astronomical or symbolic Not everyone believes the prophecy implies extraterrestrial contact. Alternative theories suggest the 'light in the sky' could refer to natural celestial events. Among the leading candidates: Meteor Showers – Known to produce dramatic sky displays visible across large regions. Aurora Borealis – Increased solar activity could cause unusually vivid Northern Lights. T Coronae Borealis Supernova – Expected to be visible from Earth in 2025, this binary star system, located 3,000 light-years away, is due for a spectacular eruption. The latter theory is particularly compelling. The supernova would shine so brightly that it could be seen with the naked eye, potentially fulfilling the prophecy in a scientifically plausible way. All eyes on the sky: Will Baba Vanga's 2025 UFO prediction finally come true? The fascination with Baba Vanga's 2025 prophecy continues to grow, amplified by social media buzz and a broader shift in public interest toward UFOs and extraterrestrial theories. The combination of vague prophecy, modern-day scientific phenomena, and government disclosures has created a perfect storm of mystery and speculation. While some cling to skepticism, others argue that a prediction of such specificity—"a new light in the sky" during a major sporting event—cannot be easily dismissed, especially as similar celestial or aerial anomalies have already been reported in recent years. With several major global sports events yet to occur and cosmic phenomena expected in the sky, many eyes remain fixed on the heavens, waiting to see if Baba Vanga's mysterious forecast finally comes to light.
