AP PHOTOS: Former US school buses get a second life in Panama
LA CHORRERA, Panama (AP) — They were once bright yellow buses carrying kids to school in suburbs across the United States. Now in Panama – adorned with neon paintings, glowing lights and booming speakers – they are getting a second life. The Red Devil buses have become a symbol of Panama's capital city, often blowing black clouds of smoke as they roar through its bustling streets. They also act as a reminder of the Central American nations long-running connection to the U.S. Once a year, drivers and hundreds of Panamanians flock to a rural racetrack an hour outside of the capital to watch the buses transform into race cars.

Ford Sets Bold Condition to Stay in Formula One Amid V8 Talks
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ford Performance has laid out a bold condition to remain in Formula One as it partners with Red Bull Powertrains for the new era of regulations beginning in 2026. Next year marks a big reset in F1, as new cars powered by an equal ratio of electric power and internal combustion on sustainable fuels will zip through Grand Prix circuits. Given Ford's expertise in the electrification department, its partnership with Red Bull is a result of the new regulations. Though the plans for 2026 are on course, and as teams develop their challengers in full swing, discussions about the return of cars powered by V8 engines running on sustainable fuels have led many to question whether F1 cars will rely on electric power in the distant future.

Charles Leclerc of Monaco driving the (16) Scuderia Ferrari SF-25 and Max Verstappen of the Netherlands driving the (1) Oracle Red Bull Racing RB21 battle for track position during the F1 Grand Prix of Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on June 01, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. MoreWhile the developmental path ahead seems unclear at this stage, Ford has made it clear that it will stay in the sport as long as the cars remain electrified. Ford Performance global director Mark Rushbrook said: "For Ford Motor Company, we believe there should be some form of electrification in there. "That's part of what attracted us to the 2026 rules. It's all about that balance between the ICE and electrification. Does it need to be 50-50? No, not necessarily. "As long as we have the opportunity to contribute, to learn and to bring knowledge to our road cars, then that's ideally what we're looking for." Rushbrook confirmed that the American brand was committed to the future of the sport. He added: "That is definitely our intent. We're committed to working with all the other stakeholders for what is the right thing for the future of this sport. "Is it going to be exactly what any single manufacturer wants? No. But that's part of the process, because at the end of the day, if that discussion is exactly what we want and every other manufacturer leaves, then it's not a healthy sport either. "We know that and the other manufacturers know that as well. So you've got to work together for the good of the sport, the health of the sport and that basically means being partners off the track. "You want to race each other fiercely on the track, but you need to work together off the track." 2026 marks the first year when Red Bull will roll out its own F1 engines in collaboration with Ford, after ending a successful partnership with Honda. The Japanese automaker joined hands with Aston Martin to develop power units for cars of the new era.
