Michelob ULTRA and Williams Racing made waves by announcing the groundbreaking ‘Lap of Legends,’ marking the first-ever real vs. virtual Formula 1 race. The event will see Williams driver Logan Sargeant pitted against a lineup of Williams legends, including Jacques Villeneuve, Jenson Button, Nigel Mansell, and Alain Prost.
Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, AI, and augmented reality, the event brings together current F1 talent and racing royalty in an unprecedented competition.
Speaking exclusively to The Source, racing icon Mario Andretti shared insights into his participation in the Lap of Legends special, highlighting Michelob ULTRA’s partnership with Williams Racing and offering commentary on the current Formula 1 season and more.
The highly anticipated race unfolded at the legendary Silverstone Circuit, promising an electrifying showdown between past and present stars of the sport. The action-packed event is set to be featured in a one-hour television special airing on AMC and Roku later this spring.
With its innovative approach and stellar lineup, the ‘Lap of Legends’ represents a thrilling fusion of tradition and cutting-edge technology, captivating fans of Formula 1 worldwide. Stay tuned for the exhilarating race highlights and exclusive insights from the drivers.
What were your first thoughts and overall feelings when the Lap of Legends campaign was presented to you as a possible participant?
They went to my management firm to first present it, and when my manager came to me and explained I didn’t get it immediately and said I’ll start training tomorrow [laughs]. When he went into more details, I became more understanding and, honestly, flattered and thrilled, I thought. Michelob Ultra is involved in this project on behalf of the Williams team, and I immediately thought about my friendship with Frank Williams. During the time we spent together, I drove for him at a nonchampionship race. I was all in.
What does this campaign do for a new audience and generation of fans to get invested in Williams Racing and Formula One?
This is fantastic. It is creating curiosity and educating a fan base. This will increase viewership in the younger audience and is another way to use today’s technology. I think that aspect is accomplished. Whenever I see things that create interest in our sport, I’m all in because I want it to continue to prosper.
How do you think you and other legends would fare in today’s F1?
Obviously, we would be driving contemporary cars. It would be fun. This would raise a lot of questions about rules and so forth. But for this campaign, I’ll be driving from a different era. I’m in the oldest car, so with realistic aspects of this, techniques, and all the strategies, it surely will be interesting. I’m as anxious as anyone. I’ve gotten a glimpse of what’s at play, but I can’t wait for May 14.
You mentioned you will be in the oldest car, but being Mario Andretti has to give you an advantage over everybody else in the field, right?
I think it’s probably my energy [laughs]. I’m sure I have more energy than any of the other dudes out there.
Williams, as a team, has an incredible racing history. How special is it to participate in this campaign that illuminates that history and connects to this current generation of drivers like Logan Sargeant?
Bringing the Williams team to the forefront is important because they were world champions and have that story of being created by Frank Williams. They deserve this. I applaud Michelob for coming and selecting Williams for this project. Even as a team right now, they are beginning their comeback. They have regrouped with new talent. The future will only go forward for Williams, and it is great to see.
Returning to the technology in this race, tech has become integral to racing. How do you feel technology is shaking the future of F1 and motorsports?
There are so many innovations. You encourage the performance aspect of tech with the efficiency of the product. This impacts aerodynamics and suspension dynamics. It’s an experiment playground, and with these engineering minds, they have a rule book and see how far they can go. How great can I be with all these things at play? There’s always entertainment, but technology brings another value to motor racing.
What would it be if you had to advise a young star like Logan Sargeant?
He’s already where he wants to be. I would say to absorb as much as you can from other drivers. There is always somebody better than you, and because of that, you will get better at achieving solid objectives. If you look at the champion before me, how will I beat this dude? That’s how it works. For him, it’s the same thing. You have a sense of pride and passion. Combine that with raw talent and then you have just to keep cultivating that.

A bombshell announcement has rocked Formula One as long-time Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton is expected to join rivals Ferrari for the 2025 season. Hamilton is signed to Mercedes through the 2025 season following a contract extension last year. However, a deal that is “as good as done” will now see Hamilton replace young Spanish driver Carlos Sainz next year. Sainz finished seventh in the 2023 season standings. Hamilton finished third behind a dominant Red Bull 1-2 from Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
It is believed that Hamilton is seen as Ferrari’s best chance to win a Drivers’ Championship for the first time since 2007. The hope is that pairing him with Charles Leclerc will finally end the iconic team’s lengthy drought. Once the most dominant team in F1, Ferrari has been blocked by Mercedes and now Red Bull. The departure of Sebastian Vettel in 2020 ended a nearly 25-year run of Ferrari rostering at least one world champion. A formal announcement is expected later today.
Fans are already preparing themselves for a chaotic 2025 season. A wave of memes erupted after news of the move broke. Amidst the fantasy of fans were scenes of Hamilton fighting with the technical crew at Ferrari as well as tense confrontations with his current boss, Tito Wolf. There was also some thought spared to Ferrari fans, who are obviously confused about the prospect of their biggest rival joining the team.
However, much of the shock stems from the fact that the move is completely unexpected. Hamilton himself had publicly laughed off any notion of such a move as recently as last year. But it appears that Ferrari chairman and long-time Hamilton admirer John Elkman had been persistent in his pursuit of the seven-time world champion over the past few months. Frederic Vassuer, who helped Hamilton win GP2 (Now Formula Two) in his youth, is also believed to have played a major role in securing the move. Despite this, for the moment, all parties are staying silent until the expected formal announcement.
LAS VEGAS – Dutch DJ/producer Martin Garrix chose not to wear his Whoop over the last 24 hours. The wrist device, which monitors daily exertion and recovery, wouldn’t have given him data he wanted to see in the lead-up to the inaugural Formula One Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix. Garrix flew in on Friday, played a late-night show at Omnia on Friday night, did an extended set at the Marquee Dayclub on Saturday afternoon, rushed through some other obligations, and got to the Paddock in time to see his long-time friend Max Verstappen win a thrilling race on the Vegas Strip. To cap it all off, he performed the closing ceremony at the track, then celebrated with Max back at Omnia into the early morning.
There’s not much time for recovery over a typical F1 weekend. Add the craziness of Vegas, and the decision to not want to track that behavior entirely starts to make a bit more sense.
The prevailing story being written about race weekend — the first in a 10-year agreement between F1 and the city — was about how much of a disaster it would be. Take your pick of national (and international) outlets, and you could have your fill of anthropological observations from the ground about road closures and taped-over views on walking bridges and empty restaurants and oh-so-many quotes from grumpy Uber drivers. Each of these pieces would’ve had you believe the Strip was impossible to navigate and people were miserable. Couple that with some incendiary quotes from Verstappen himself — and a damage-inducing drain cover that shut down Thursday’s practice — and those headlines finding every way to mention “gamble,” “bust,” “big bet,” “jackpot,” or any other betting term imaginable seemed to suggest this thing would be lucky to happen at all.
In response, Vegas did what it always does: put on a show. The race was exciting, including a last-lap maneuver from Charles Leclerc that left the crowd stunned and gave him a second place podium finish. Verstappen even changed his tune a bit, singing “Viva Las Vegas” and clearly enjoying himself in the champagne spray. Fans and workers alike walked away with smiles, whether they were in the grandstands, the Paddock Club, or any number of well-executed brand setups from the Red Bull Energy Station to the Heineken House (where Anderson .paak brought his DJ Pee .Wee persona to an intimate dance floor along with an open bar, food, and views of Turn 4).
Vegas being Vegas, the race had DJs, just oh-so-much wealth, plenty of gambling-themed photo opportunities, Elvises, a wedding chapel in the Paddock, Shaq (because, obviously, Shaq had to be there), celebrity chefs, exotic cars, brands, brands, and more brands, and even Rihanna.
Garrix wasn’t surprised. As someone who has had a residency in Vegas for a decade and who travels the world — he frequently pops up at F1 races — he had a perspective few others shared. He watched the construction almost weekly, and still can’t believe the staff pulled it off in just under a year. But he stressed that this is only the beginning. Vegas has a tendency to make a big plan and merely fill in the details later. With proof of concept and time to iron out wrinkles ahead of next year, the race can evolve to match the skill Verstappen desperately craves, while continuing to add the flair that only the Strip can provide. It won’t always be smooth, it won’t always make sense, and it’ll always induce an eye-roll or two to those who haven’t offered themselves over to the kitsch and absurdity of Sin City. But it won’t be boring. And the Sphere will keep watch over us all.
The Platinum-selling artist went long from a hotel suite at the Cosmopolitan on the race, his friendship with Verstappen, his love for F1, and what makes Vegas so special.
Martin Rickman: What’s your relationship like with F1?
Martin Garrix: I love F1. I love the sport. I love the adrenaline. I love just the races, and the excitement. I’ve been very lucky to be part of a lot of races around the world together with Heineken and it’s cool. I’ve known Max since, I think I was 18 and he was 16 when we met. So it’s been very cool to see him rise to the phenomenon he’s now, but also I’m close to some of the other drivers and it’s cool because we’re doing something completely opposite. They’re very healthy. There are sportsmen, and I party and am up late at night, not on a regular schedule. So it’s cool to find a balance in the middle where we can meet and there’s actually a lot of points that we can relate on, which is nice.
Your lifestyle and what you’re asked to do, it does put a lot of strain on your body and your mind — traveling at different times, meeting different people, kind of having to stay on at all times. Drivers have a similar experience in different ways. Obviously, their physical is in the car, your physical is performing. Do you find that you guys relate to each other?
Yeah, I definitely think there’s a lot of things in common. Also, depending on the team, it’s teamwork. It’s a lot of pressure because in the end, it comes up on our performance. There are a lot of people doing everything they can in advance, etc. But in the moment itself, it’s you got to do well or you f*ck up. But F1 is a top sport. They’re in an amazing shape. They’re very, very aware of sleep, alcohol, everything, which is cool. It inspires me to live more healthily and it is amazing. We get to travel the world together. I’m not doing every race, but together with Heineken I’m doing Vegas, I did Mexico recently. I’m going to do China. I’m not sure if it’s announced yet. Canada was f*cking sick.
So there’s a lot of cool things. And it’s nice because I’m close to Daniel Ricciardo, Lando Norris, and Max, and we’re all at races for a completely different reason. They’re there to f*cking race. I’m there to entertain the audience after the race, but it’s nice to see friends all over the world. We get to travel together and there’s a lot of connecting points where we can actually, after they did their thing, after I did my thing, we can decompress together, which is nice.
What’s the most surprising thing about those three guys that maybe people don’t know about them?
I think it’s how dedicated they are to the sport. Some people they see, oh, drivers, they show up to the race, they race. Max every time I’m with him in his free time, he’s racing on the sim. It’s the craziest thing. All he does with F1 is racing, traveling, racing. You would expect him to be home and to relax, to decompress. But he’s still racing. He’s practicing the new circuits. He’s on the sim. Same thing for Lando, same thing for Daniel, and I can relate to it with music as well. Once you have a passion for something, it doesn’t feel like work and you want to get better. You want to bring your A-game. So it’s cool to see that because what I do is completely different, but there’s some similarities in a way.
Yeah, passion is universal.
And they’re passionate as f*ck. It’s amazing.
You talked about being inspired to do more things for yourself, to kind of keep yourself right, physically, and mentally. What are some of the things that you’re trying out that you’re learning?
I think the most important thing is to have routines. Find out your routine, find stuff you like. I love playing padel [tennis]. I love windsurfing. I picked up going to the gym again. So I think it’s a few things that, and also if you start your day with a workout for the rest of the day, you’re way more productive. You feel more good about everything. And there was a few years that I missed that mindset. It happens. But no, I feel really good. I’m excited about everything. I’ll work out and for the rest of the day, I’m like this, I want to do this, this, this. I’ll be more productive in the studio, which is good.
Do you know the first race you ever went to or when that was?
I think it was Singapore, the one with Dua Lipa, yeah, in 2018. And I was playing the after-show performance. The marina and looking out on it after the stage. It was cool. And just for me too, because you watch the races on TV, to be there in person, you hear the sound of the cars. It’s like the adrenaline, there’s nothing comparing to it. It’s raw. It’s f*cking hits you.
What are you working on now that has you really excited?
Everything. I’m working on a lot of music, like crazy amounts. I’m doing a score for a TV show. I started on it last year, but then the writers’ strike happened, so everything got delayed, but now it picked up again. So that’s exciting. There’s a lot of cool Garrix stuff coming. I’m working on some stuff for other artists writing-wise. There’s a lot of stuff in the works. I’m very excited. I think I finished a follow-up for my last single, I think I finished it two days ago. But it’s nice. It’s a good feeling once you’re in the studio and you make something and you’re confident enough effort towards to be like, oh, this might be the follow-up.
You’re really familiar with Vegas, and obviously a lot of people are coming into Vegas for the first time, or they’re F1 fans who aren’t as familiar with it. What is it about Las Vegas that makes this a good destination for F1?
I think Vegas is the city of entertainment. F1, besides being a sport, has a crazy amount of entertainment as well around the race. And I think people maybe this weekend in particular have wanted F1 to fail in the city because of the preparations, because of everything. But I do think Vegas, if you look at Monaco, the race has been there for f*cking god knows how long, and you build, you grow. This race has the potential to become one of the biggest races. It would be cool if they could make some adjustments to the tracks or make it a little bit more challenging. But listen, you see some shots of the f*cking track even in qualifying, and it looked insane.
It looked like a video game. Every single shot, you’re just like, how the f*ck is this real? And I do think a lot of people around the world, they see it. They’re like, oh my god, this looks crazy. But once you’re here, once you’re actually next to the circuit, it’s just, it is wild. So I’m excited to see how Vegas will grow, how Vegas will get better, but I can’t believe the amount of work they did in the last year. I’ve been to Vegas every other weekend, so I saw the progress of them trying to fix the asphalt, building the f*cking paddock. It’s actually ridiculous how much work they got done in a year. Some people are a little bit … maybe mean is not the right word, but they’re very judgmental towards everyone. I think what they did here is monumental, and I think this could become one of the biggest races in F1.
You said you’ve known Max since he was 16. How has he changed in the time since then?
Well, the funnest thing about Max is he has not changed one single bit. Same person. He’s just obsessed with racing. Even in his free time, whenever, if I’m touring and I get home, the last thing I want to do is DJ. My brain needs a little break, and I need to decompress. Max won in the Netherlands, and I flew with him to Monaco after the race, and we were on the plane, laughing, etc. Having a good time. I was like, ‘Hey man, let’s have some drinks’ He’s like, “No, man, I’m going to go Sim race.’ I’m like, “Bro, you’ve just f*cking won. You just won the race, you lunatic!” But he is inspiring. He’s so passionate about racing. And it’s a mindset, and especially for racers much like artists, you’re by yourself, you’re solo. But I feel like racers, they’re so strict on themselves. There was one time he came in second, this was I think eight years ago, and I was like, “Hey, congrats man, congrats on the podium.” This was before he won every race. And he looks at me straight, dead serious. He’s like, “Congrats on what? I’m the first to lose.” I’m like, “What the f*ck?”
It’s crazy. That mindset. If I’m second with anything, I’m like, f*ck yeah, I’m stoked. Of course, you want to be number one, but to see it as a loss? But I think that’s what makes him, him. Same thing for Daniel, and same thing for Lando. It’s like f*cking tunnel vision, which is amazing.

After more than 40 years, racing made its return to Las Vegas and in true Vegas style, it was a spectacle on and off the track. The Las Vegas Grand Prix, which forms part of the Formula One World Championship, took place on Saturday with celebs gathering to watch some of the top racers in the world on a specially-designed track, which included parts of the Las Vegas strip.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky joined the Ferrari team where they wore headphones to hear the drivers communication with their teams. Justin Bieber had the honor of waving the checkered lap for the final lap of the race, which was won by Max Verstappen of Team Red Bull.
Other A-listers in attendance included Anthony Mackie, Steve Aoki,Chad Ochocinco, Axl Rose, Brad Pitt, Paris Hilton, David Beckham, Wayne Newton,Heidi Klum, Donny Osmond,Shaquille O’Neal, Cara Delevingne, and Patrick Dempsey, and more.
And even though Tom Brady, an avid racing fan, could not be there in person, he Facetimed some words of encouragement to Logan Sargeant, a rookie driver for Williams Racing.
The last Formula One race, the Caesars Palace Grand Prix, was held in Las Vegas in 1982 while the last street race held in the city since was the Vegas Grand Prix Champ Car in 2007. The race came with a great deal of controversy including construction costs and delays and interruptions to other Las Vegas businesses and residents. In addition to reports that fans also tore down view-blocking screens to get a glimpse of the race, others who actually purchased tickets are also upset that they did not get their money’s worth. The race has already been hit with a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the 35,000 people who bought tickets for Thursday’s practice session that was cancelled when Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari was damaged by a loose drain cover.

Machine Gun Kelly is once again getting subjected to a lot of ridicule online, one that he thinks is unfair. Moreover, you might’ve seen on social media that he recently had an awkward interview with Sky Sports reporter Martin Bundle at Formula 1’s Brazil Grand Prix on Sunday (November 5). In it, the rap and pop-punk artist struggled to hear the questions due to the loud noises, and eventually left the interview in frustration. Furthermore, this led to a lot of people clowning him online, and even dragging him as rude or disinterested. Well, that’s exactly what the Houston-born rapper was, as he explained on Twitter.
“my vibe is ‘the worst’ how?” Machine Gun Kelly asked indignantly on the social media platform on Sunday night. “because someone put a microphone in my face essentially forcing me to do a random interview when i was just trying to enjoy an event? because car engines were so loud i couldnt hear him? please tell me more about why im the worst. my anxiety has won. i hate being in public.” All in all, it looks like there are plenty of reasons to blame for this interaction, none of which necessarily relate to either party.
Machine Gun Kelly Responds To Awkward F1 Interview Clowning: Read
my vibe is “the worst” how? because someone put a microphone in my face essentially forcing me to do a random interview when i was just trying to enjoy an event? because car engines were so loud i couldnt hear him? please tell me more about why im the worst.
However, there’s still something to be said for how MGK reacted to this, as well as how Bundle handled the situation. Still, it’s probably not enough to criticize them and not just laugh at a funny celebrity interview clip, of which there are too many to get mad over. After all, Machine Gun Kelly had other things on his mind around that time, especially following the Halloween season. He and Megan Fox donned multiple matching costumes this year, which re-sparked interest in their rocky relationship.
Meanwhile, the 33-year-old recently got back into his hip-hop collaborative bag, teaming up with Lil Durk for an Amazon Music performance. Considering how much he jumps genres, it’s nice to see him blend these worlds together rather than pick one over the other. Let’s hope there’s more where that came from, and that the funny interview clips stay comical and not criticizable. For more news and the latest updates on Machine Gun Kelly, keep checking in with HNHH.
Machine Gun Kelly did a quick interview with Sky News’ Martin Brundle at an F1 race recently, and it’s gotten social media users talking. MGK seemed to be in a bit of an off mood, resulting in an awkward and confusing interview. While it’s possible that the performer was simply having a bad day, Brundle left the interview feeling as though he had certainly been kicked off of MGK’s “Christmas card list.”
When asked about his career, MGK didn’t answer for a moment, instead nodding in agreement. This prompted Brundle to repeat his question. “Oh, my career,” Machine Gun Kelly then replied. “I don’t think about my career.” He went on to give a vague complimentary explanation of F1 racing. “I think your business is great,” he said. “It’s loud, your life is on the line, and that’s exciting… I was in a studio the other week and Lewis Hamilton was in the other studio. That was nice, yeah.”
MGK later asked Brundle to do an “air piano and air guitar collaboration” with him, which the British sportscaster declined. He refused to take no for an answer, however. The artist continued to demand that Brundle pretend to play keys, leaving the interviewer confused.
When Brundle wouldn’t budge, MGK gave the camera a thumbs down before walking off. Social media users are split as to was responsible for the strange interview, while some believe both participants are to blame. Others are simply noting that this was a pretty bizarre crossover.
Social Media Reacts To MGK’s Strange F1 Interview

Quotable Lyrics:
Comin’ through like trouble, rappin’ with the verbo Break through the barricade, deep up in a hurdle Gotta get over before I get on the number one Número uno, universal, ayy, ayy, ayy Y’all better follow the leader Never lookin’ back, that’s why I can’t see ya
Kid Cudi has developed a new passion – Formula One. The rapper caught his first Grand Prix over the weekend, hitting up the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium to support Lewis Hamilton. “Pulled up to support my boy @LewisHamilton since I was in town. @F1 @MercedesAMGF1 first race Ive ever been too, thanx to Mercedes for holding it down ,” Cudi tweeted alongside a picture taken in the Mercedes hospitality area. Cudi was in Belgium in order to perform at the Tomorrowland Festival in Antwerp, about 100 miles from the F1 track.
Further posts from Cudi showed the musician getting an up-close look at Hamilton’s car, which The Moon Man referred to as a “spacecraft”. Cudi also posted up with the Mercedes pit crew and posted some short videos from the race itself. Hamilton finished fourth as Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won his eighth consecutive race.
Cudi took to Instagram after the race, posting more pictures from his time in Belgium, including several with Hamilton himself. “ Such a blessing seeing my guy do his thing today. Lewis, U are a very special human, it was truly an honor. Congrats on an epic race my friend. Looks like im hooked, ima have to start watchin more races. Gotta support u brother, the love is mutual. Thank u for takin care of us man!! Enjoy that MOTR pack!!,” Cudi added as a caption.
However, Cudi will have to wait a while to enjoy any more F1. Belgium marked the last Grand Prix before the summer break. Racing will recommence on August 27 with the Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Zandvoort. It’s the penultimate European Grand Prix of the season, with the series heading to Asia following the Italian Grand Prix on September 3. Perhaps Cudi will head back to the Mercedes garage when F1 comes to North America later this year. While the Miami Grand Prix was held back in May, the main North American leg begins with the US Grand Prix on October 22. The 2023 F1 calendar also features the debut of the Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 18.
