Roger Federer and Mercedes-Benz Revive San Francisco’s Jo...

What happens when you have a luxury automaker, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, and one of tennis’s most celebrated tournaments team up? Well, in San Francisco, the answer is six freshly resurfaced public tennis courts at John McLaren Park.  This is the latest chapter of Neon Legacy, a joint initiative launched in 2021 by Roger Federer and Mercedes-Benz to make tennis more accessible and leave something tangible behind in every host city of the Laver Cup (named after Australian tennis player, Rodney George Laver, who has 11 Grand Slam singles titles to his name). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Laver Cup (@lavercup) For the San Francisco project, Neon Legacy partnered with the Laver Cup and the USTA Foundation. Together, they delivered upgrades that follow similar projects in London, Vancouver, and Berlin, and San Francisco now joins a global map of communities benefiting from this model of corporate-athlete collaboration. Earlier this week, Federer was joined at the event by former professional tennis player and current Laver Cup captain Yannick Noah and San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie, and several prominent figures from the Bay Area, who cut the ribbon alongside children from local tennis programs. These spaces are meant to inspire the next generation of young athletes who may otherwise have limited access to the sport and also host a series of programs. “Tennis shaped my life, and I hope this project inspires the next generation.” - Roger Federer , 20-time Grand Slam Champion, Co-founder of the Laver Cup After the Golden Gate Park, John McLaren Park is San Francisco’s second-largest public park, and before this initiative, its courts needed attention. For local families, these new resurfaced courts and revamped facilities will reduce barriers to entry, and for a luxury brand like Mercedes-Benz, it is making a social impact at the community level. The German automaker is also continuing its tradition of supplying G-Class SUVs as team cars, along with an exclusive shuttle fleet for officials and select guests.  With the 8th Edition of the Laver Cup set for Chase Center this weekend (September 19-21), expect the city to draw international attention, and while the Swiss Maestro’s presence alone has elevated the project’s visibility, the structural changes on the ground should outlast this headline moment.

Star‑Studded Formula 1 Movie World Premiere Revs Up NYC W...

New York doesn’t usually stop for much, but when the likes of Brad Pitt, Lewis Hamilton, and much of the Formula 1 grid descend on the Big Apple, things slow down a bit to catch in on all the action. Under the glow of neon lights and the iconic billboards at Times Square, the heart of Manhattan was transformed into a pit lane of glitz and glamor for the " title="YouTube video" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen> of the highly anticipated Formula 1 The Movie. Ditching their racing overalls for sharp suits, much of the current crop of F1 drivers, from Charles LeClerc of Ferrari, Lando Norris of McLaren, and more, were in attendance, giving interviews in the heart of Times Square. Team bosses like Toto Wolff, Christian Horner, and Frédéric Vasseur were seen alongside Hollywood elites. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FORMULA 1® (@f1) Apple Original Films, which has teamed up with Warner Bros to produce this high-octane racing film, meant we also saw some pretty high-profile Apple execs at the event, including CEO Tim Cook. Speaking of Apple, just days ago at the tech giant’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), their VP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, was seen in " title="YouTube video" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen> in full race gear in an F1 car atop Apple Park’s roof, which was transformed into a race track. A hint of Apple’s deep dive into F1, perhaps? Finally, Brad Pitt, the protagonist in the film, and co-star Damson Idris posed in front of the cameras alongside Lewis Hamilton. Working with Apple, the seven-time F1 world champion served as producer of the film. Lending his insights from inside the paddock, the British grand prix driver played a key role in ensuring the racing in the film looked and sounded as close to the real thing as possible. His involvement in the movie extended beyond creative inputs, and he collaborated closely with director Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer to help shape the story, team culture, and even the on-screen race gear.  Set to hit theaters on June 25 (Internationally), June 27 (North America), the film follows a fictional team called APEX Racing (APXGP) with Pitt playing a retired driver making a dramatic return to the grid with Idris casr as the team’s rising star. The film isn’t CGI-heavy, as the cars featured are modified Formula 2 machines, convincingly upgraded and wrapped to look like F1 cars. To capture the energy and drama of a Formula 1 race, parts of the film were shot during real Grand Prix weekends at venues like Silverstone, SPA, and Abu Dhabi. The profile of the pinnacle of motorsports has never been higher in the United States. Since the takeover by Liberty Media, F1’s presence has only grown in America, with the race in Austin being joined by Las Vegas and Miami, which has been extended until 2041. While Netflix’s Drive to Survive helped popularize the sport on the small screen, the Formula 1 The Movie aims to do the same, this time on the silver screen.
