Let’s take a look at the two main headlines from today, Friday, August 8, where Lewis Hamilton finally revealed the long-awaited mysterious announcement.

Official confirmation: What Hamilton's announcement was really about

August 8th was supposed to be the day when Lewis Hamilton would make an announcement. Earlier in the day, it seemed clear what kind of announcement it would be. Hamilton has now officially confirmed what is going to happen.

On July 28, Hamilton posted a message on his Instagram with the date 08-08. This video showed a match burning out. What would happen? Nobody knew.

Almave, a kind of non-alcoholic tequila, had previously released a similar kind of video. Hamilton is working with the company, which produces the drink in Mexico. So it seemed quite clear that this would be the subject of the announcement.

Hamilton has now officially confirmed what the announcement would entail. And indeed, it was an announcement in collaboration with Almave. The non-alcoholic beverage brand is introducing a new drink, called the 'Almave Humo'.

Huge praise for Jos Verstappen: 'You don't f*ck around with him'

Gino Rosato, the man who has worked for Ferrari for a long time alongside several champions, has had kind words to say about Jos Verstappen and the way he raised his son.

According to him, that is one of the reasons why Max is now a four-time Formula 1 world champion.

As a guest on the Pitstop podcast, Rosato spoke highly of the father of the Red Bull driver and the four time world champion.
