Red Bull ‘to TERMINATE Tsunoda's contract and considering Brit sensation, 17, to be Verstappen's next team-mate'
The teenage Brit was born and raised in Surrey RED ALERT Red Bull 'to TERMINATE Tsunoda's contract and considering Brit sensation, 17, to be Verstappen's next team-mate' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) YUKI TSUNODA is reportedly heading for Red Bull's ever revolving exit door with Max Verstappen set to get a new team-mate for the 2026 season. But four-time world champion Verstappen could leave himself, with Red Bull desperate for their prized asset to turn down growing interest from Mercedes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Red Bull will reportedly terminate Yuki Tsunoda's contract next season 5 Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko is back in charge of driver line-ups after Christian Horner's sacking Tsunoda is set to be a victim of a full circle moment after he brutally replaced Liam Lawson to partner Verstappen just two races into the current season in March. The rumour mill said it was former team principal Christian Horner, who was sacked after 20 years this month, who wanted Lawson out so quickly in March. But it seems Red Bull will keep to the same replacement scheme without Horner at the helm, with Tsunoda, 25, next in line for the chop. Ever since Daniel Ricciardo left Red Bull at the end of 2018, drivers have rarely lasted more than a season with the team, with the team's upgrade and championship focus always on Verstappen. READ MORE F1 NEWS OH CHRIST! Horner could make shock return to F1 with Red Bull's rivals after brutal sacking Tsunoda's has endured a miserable season, scoring scrappy points on just three Grand Prix weekends, contributing just seven of the teams 172 total at the halfway point in the campaign. According to a GPblog report, the decision has already been made to terminate Tsunoda's contract at the end of the season, although he will remain in place until then. The Japanese star sits 17th in the drivers standings, is the lowest ranked non-rookie and has gone five rounds without scoring a single point. Tsunoda's qualifying results have disappointed in particular, after he escaped a near-death crash in Q1 at Imola, before managing P12 in Monaco, P20 in Spain, P11 in Canada, P18 in Austria and P12 at Silverstone. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS In contrast, Verstappen, 27, secured his fourth pole of the season at Silverstone, but finished fifth behind Lewis Hamilton after skidding off the track in the rain. With advisor Helmut Marko back in charge of driver line-ups after Horner's shock dismissal, Red Bull are likely to look inward to their Racing Bulls junior team for their next F1 star. Glamorous TikToker Bianca Bustamante gives behind-the-scenes look at a Formula E race week One option is going back to Lawson, who has picked himself back up after being removed from his Red Bull seat, sitting above Tsunoda in the drivers standings. But Marko, 82, is reportedly pushing for a new face and wants to promote 20-year-old rookie Isack Hadjar from Racing Bulls next season. Hadjar entered this season as something of a wildcard after his seat came about after the late decision to sack Sergio Perez caused an opening at Racing Bulls. But the decision to call him up now looks like a masterstroke, as the French-Algerian youngster sits just outside the top 10 in the drivers standings - with one fewer point than Lawson and Tsunoda COMBINED. 5 Racing Bulls star Isack Hadjar is the favourite to replace Tsunoda 5 British F2 driver Arvid Lindblad is also being considered for the second Red Bull seat But teenage Brit Arvid Lindblad is also being considered to step up from Formula Two after completing his first free practice session at the British Grand Prix on July 6. The 17-year-old has also been undergoing extensive TPC outings behind the scenes as he prepares to follow in Kimi Antonelli's footsteps, speedily climbing up the feeder series ladder. Lindblad was born in 2007 and raised in Surrey to his Swedish motorcross racing father and Indian mother. Meanwhile, Tsunoda will be the latest in a long line of Red Bull second-seat victims, following in the footsteps of Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon, Sergio Perez and Lawson. The F1 season gets back underway in Belgium on July 27, with Verstappen allegedly already having met up with Mercedes chief Toto Wolff while on holiday in Sardinia.

'Jin has a crush on Wendy': Fans react to BTS member's shyness with Red Velvet star at solo concert
Jin kicked off his first-ever solo world tour with 2-day stops in South Korea's Goyang Auxiliary Stadium. On June 29, a special segment featured RED VELVET's Wendy joining the BTS member on stage and performing their song Heart On The Window. Besides their angelic voices, what amused fans even more were their interactions. Jin seemed extremely shy around Wendy, sparking various speculations. Wendy stuns at Jin's solo Goyang concert During day 2 of RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, fans were pleasantly surprised by the appearance of Wendy on the concert stage. She and the BTS member delighted fans by performing Heart On The Window– their duet song from Jin's first solo album Happy. However, one particularly noticeable aspect of the act was how closer the RED VELVET member stood to Jin, as compared to their last year's act. Jin shyly addresses stage gap talks with Wendy Regarding Jin's November 2024 act with Wendy, he said, "Back when we performed together, there was talk that Wendy and I were standing too far apart." Wendy jovially replied that even the other BTS members could fit in between them. Jin revealed that the director was aware of the joke and made specific numbers on the stage to make them stand closer. While talking about it, Jin could hardly make eye contact with Wendy and kept giggling shyly. After she bid the fans goodbye and left, he couldn't seem to stop smiling and even sighed. These made fans speculate that "Jin has a crush on Wendy", even if it's a tiny one. He also said "ba-bye" to Wendy in "THE MOST BABY VOICE." Some even felt that his director or someone from the team knew about his admiration for Wendy. One X-user wrote, "Who was he looking at while sighing and smiling. His director? I feel like someone from his staff knows that he admires Wendy." Fans also noticed the stark contrast in his behavior around Yena, who appeared the previous day, as he seemed way more at ease. They also recalled Jin expressing his appreciation for Wendy's voice, and seeming similarly shy when he appeared on her radio show a few months back.

RED Mountain Appoints New President to Continue Fierce Independence and Authentic Mountain Vision
Headshot: Howard Katkov Headshot: Mark Schroetel ROSSLAND, British Columbia, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RED Mountain Resort, one of North America's last great independent ski resorts, today announces a major leadership transition that marks both the culmination of a 22-year legacy and the beginning of a bold new era. After more than two decades at the helm, Howard Katkov, RED's long-time CEO who has successfully led RED's strategy of growth to preserve the resort's fierce independence without disenfranchising the community of Rossland, will step down from his role as Chief Executive Officer. Katkov will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board, ensuring that RED's ethos remains intact. Simultaneously, Don Thompson, President of RED Mountain Resort, will also transition out of his executive role while remaining an active member of the board. Following an extensive international search, RED is proud to welcome Mark Schroetel as its new President, effective July 6, 2025. With over 30 years of resort and industry leadership, Schroetel has a proven record of helping ski areas thrive—while staying true to their soul. 'For 22 years, I've poured my heart into this mountain,' said Howard Katkov. 'Not to build a cookie-cutter resort, but to protect something real. RED stands for independence, character, and community. I couldn't pass that legacy to just anyone. In Mark, I see someone who gets it—who understands that RED's success lies in its authenticity, not in conforming to the status quo. I'm thrilled to support him as we take RED into its next chapter.' A Career—and a Calling—25 Years in the Making Schroetel brings a rich and diverse background to RED. He served for 15 years as General Manager of Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania, where he oversaw a full-scale redevelopment of the resort. Later, he spent 8 years as General Manager and CEO at Utah's Powder Mountain, North America's largest skiable resort by acreage, where he helped define a differentiated skiing experience focused on preservation over profit. But for Schroetel, RED is more than a career move—it's personal. 'I've always been drawn to the Kootenays,' said Schroetel. 'In fact, I brought my dad here for his 60th birthday and returned to RED as a reward for completing my first year as a GM over two decades ago. When this opportunity came up, it felt like destiny. During a recent visit, my wife looked at me and said she's never seen me so happy in the 16 years we've been together. I responded, 'This is where I belong.'' 'I'm incredibly honored to join the team at RED and can't wait to put down roots in Rossland. This is more than a job—it's a commitment to community, to authenticity, and to keeping the dream of independent skiing alive." The Road Ahead Under Katkov's stewardship, RED has achieved legendary status: one of the Top 10 largest ski resorts in North America, with 3,850 acres of unspoiled terrain, nearly 3,000 feet of vertical, and legendary tree skiing across five peaks. RED has also embraced its next evolution as a true four-season destination, launching new summer experiences and deepening its ties to the local community. Most notably, the resort will officially open its highly anticipated Gravity Logic designed lift-accessed RED Mountain Bike Park on June 21, further demonstrating Katkov's vision to make RED a world-class mountain playground in all seasons. Schroetel's appointment is the next step in that evolution—ushering in a future built not on acquisition or homogenization, but on independence, innovation, and respect for the mountain and the community of Rossland. Media Contact:Chella Levesque | Chella Levesque Inc. | chella@ | 604.961.9185 About RED Mountain Resort: Fiercely independent and proudly rooted in Rossland, BC, RED Mountain Resort is Western Canada's oldest ski resort and one of North America's largest, offering 3,850 acres of terrain, nearly 3,000 feet of vertical, and legendary tree skiing across five peaks.

NTPC Lara's girl empowerment mission fosters dreams
RAIPUR: NTPC Lara's Girl Empowerment Mission (GEM) is shaping futures and building confidence among 40 young girls from nearby villages, as part of its flagship CSR initiative aligned with the national "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" campaign. Now in its sixth year—and fourth at NTPC Lara—the programme runs from May 17 to June 13, offering a unique blend of academic and life skill training to girls aged 10–12 from local government schools. Held during summer vacation, the programme includes interactive lessons in Hindi, English, Mathematics, and Environmental Science, along with sessions on yoga, hygiene, computer literacy, dance, drama, public speaking, and self-defence. Eminent women role models inspire the participants—this year, Pussore Tehsildar Neha Upadhyay spoke about achieving goals through determination. The impact is already visible. Participant Roshni Sao dreams of becoming a doctor to serve her remote village. Sakshi Chouhan wants to join the police force, and Sunaina Nishad aspires to be a teacher. NTPC Lara stands beside them as a catalyst for their ambitions. CMD Gurdeep Singh and RED Pradipita Kumar Mishra personally interacted with the girls, offering encouragement and sharing experiences. Even after the workshop ends, NTPC Lara stays in touch with participants through follow-up initiatives.
