Lotus to join show of F1 championship winning cars
A "legendary" Formula 1 team will showcase some of its former world championship winning race cars at a motorsport festival, organisers said. The Silverstone Festival in Northamptonshire, due to be held over the August bank holiday weekend, has announced four cars from the former Norfolk-based Team Lotus will be part of display featuring F1 cars raced by all 34 of the sport's world champions. The showcase is part of a special celebration to mark the 75th anniversary of the Formula 1 World Championship. Nick Wigley, the event's director, said the display was an "ambitious challenge that no one has ever attempted before". He said: "Now, the star-studded collection is not only nearly complete, but it also features an incredible number of title-winning cars. McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, and Williams have already confirmed their support for the showcase, contributing title-winning cars driven by illustrious champions including Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Fernando Alonso, Sir Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. Team Lotus was founded by Colin Chapman and recorded its first F1 entry in 1958. Based at Hethel, near Norwich, the team counted world champions Jim Clark, Jochen Rindt, Emerson Fittipaldi, and Mario Andretti among its drivers. British driver Clark was intrinsically linked with Team Lotus in its formative years, winning titles in 1963 and 1965 and the "iconic" Lotus 25/R4 in which he won his first crown will join the display, alongside those driven by Rindt, Fittipaldi and Andretti. The festival will also feature performances from Natasha Bedingfield and Craig David presents TS5. The Silverstone Festival runs from 22-24 August.

4 scam warnings issued by the DWP you need to know about
The DWP has issued four separate scam warnings on social media in the last month - here's what we know. Benefit claimants and pensioners have been told to keep a look out for fraudsters sending texts claiming to work for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Scammers have been targeting winter fuel payment claimants as well as homeowners who may be eligible for an energy support scheme. The DWP has issued four warnings on social media in the last month telling people to be aware of the scams, such as text messages from people claiming to work for the DWP. Here's what you need to know about the scams — and how to stay safe if you receive a suspicious message. Winter fuel payment scam One of the most recent scams involves the winter fuel payment. Perplexed recipients have spoken about receiving texts claiming to be a reminder that they have not yet sent their application for this year's 'winter allowance'. Hallmarks of the scam include: A text message claiming to be a worker from the DWP The text says that the person has not yet submitted their winter fuel allowance payment, and could miss out on £300 Listing a deadline for a response – often the day the message arrives If you click on the message, it may also ask for your card details and a £1 payment that will be refunded The DWP has reminded pensioners that winter fuel payments are automatic, and they can report the scam at A DWP spokesperson said: 'We never send text messages or emails requesting your bank details for winter fuel payment purposes. 'If you have any doubt whether a text is genuine, forward it to 7726 and you will receive a reply confirming if it's legitimate.' Energy support scheme Other people have noticed a text scam that tells people they are eligible for an 'Energy Support Scheme' to help with the high cost of gas and electricity. It's worth noting that no such scheme exists under this name, although there are some other schemes available, like the warm home discount scheme. To warn others, some X users have shared some examples of the fraudulent texts they received. The message contains text similar to this: "You have not yet completed your application for an energy subsidy for 2025. The subsidy is between £200 and £300. Your application has not yet been detected by the system, so please ensure that you submit your application by 10 June. The channel will close after this date and the application will not be processed." The message then contains a link that is not from a government website. It continues: "(Once you have received a message from the system, please reply with 'y' and go to this page again, then exit the text message and re-open to activate the link, or copy the link and open it in your browser). Have a great day, DWP." How do I protect myself from scammers? Sadly, scams are only growing in sophistication, so it's best to be cautious if you receive a text message or a call from an unrecognised number — or a supposed government department. Action Fraud, which advises people on how to protect themselves from scammers, has developed a checklist for anyone who has received a random text from an unknown number claiming to be someone else. Be wary if you see: an 'irresistible' product offer or prize from a number or company you don't know an urgent alert about security, for example your bank account details have been compromised a message about a product or service you haven't purchased or requested a delivery company demanding you pay a fee before they deliver a parcel an appeal from a family member asking you to send money encouragement to click on an unknown link – if you're not sure, visit the organisation's website directly rather than clicking through a request for you to share personal data language designed to create a sense of urgency or panic messages sent outside normal business hours, especially if they're very late at night or very early in the morning If you've seen something that doesn't feel right: break the contact – don't reply, click on any links or make any payments check if it's genuine: contact the person or company directly, using a phone number you already have and know is correct forward the message for free to 7726 to report it Check Action Fraud for more information.
