Catch up here with the top stories of the day!<\/b>Verstappen to get a new teammate?<\/p>\n<p>Rumours began going around regarding four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou and a potential move to Formula 1. Palou, like Verstappen, won in 2021, 2023, and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>About the rumour, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpblog.com\/en\/will-buxton\" title=\"Will Buxton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Will Buxton<\/a> said that he would both love and hate it if Palou were to move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpblog.com\/en\/f1-teams\/red-bull-racing\" title=\"Red Bull Racing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Bull Racing<\/a>. In his tweet he said, &#8220;Would love it for him and because I think he\u2019s one of the very best racers in open wheel right now and would surprise a lot of people, showing the world just how high the level is in IndyCar.  Would hate it because that second Red Bull seat has a hex on it, one which even Palou might struggle to overcome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after this, the rumoured were debunked. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Palou&#8217;s manager, Roger Yasukawa, told Spanish medium MARCA that they have not been in talks with Red Bull Racing or Formula 1 at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said, &#8220;We haven&#8217;t spoken to anyone in Formula 1 about Alex.&#8221; Had the talks been happening, Palou would have joined Isack Hadjar in being linked to the second Red Bull seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>F1: The Movie hits new milestone\u00a0According to Box Office Mojo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpblog.com\/en\/f1\" title=\"F1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">F1<\/a>: The Movie has grossed over $600 million at the box office. This comes two months after it was released. Only $185 million of that comes from the U.S. market, as the international markets brought in $407 million.<\/p>\n<p>China was one of the bigger international markets as they brought in $57 million compared to the United Kingdom&#8217;s $29 million, France&#8217;s $24 million, and Germany&#8217;s $16 million<\/p>\n<p>While there have already been talks of making an F1: The Movie sequel, nothing has been confirmed just yet. However, fans can now find the movie on Apple TV.<\/p>\n<p>Honourable mentions:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Missed out on August 25th&#8217;s Formula 1 news? Don&#8217;t worry!
