If Oscar Piastri doesn't win the F1 championship this year I'm eating the pieces of this Lego McLaren set (which is currently 20% off)

Do you enjoy watching cars go vroom vroom on a different race track in a different country (almost) every weekend of the year? Me too.
I've been a Formula 1 fan for years now, and the excitement of seeing the drivers take to the track hasn't wavered. I'm a struggling Ferrari fan (I cry every weekend), but I'm also a McLaren supporter... well, more of an Oscar Piastri supporter, to be honest.
And, like me, do you also enjoy building Lego sets regardless of how big or small they are or how many pieces they contain?
Then you've come to the right place because I've found a great deal for you. The Lego Technic McLaren Formula 1 2022 Replica set is currently discounted by 20% at Amazon U.S. — this brings it down to $159 from its retail price of $199.
The Lego replica of the 2022 McLaren F1 car includes features like the V6 cylinder engine with moving pistons, steering, suspension and differential for precision cornering. Containing 1,432 pieces, this set will keep F1 fans — adults and kids alike — busy for hours.
While Piastri didn't join McLaren until 2023, the 2022 car replica is still a great way to support your favorite team. I think this is an absolutely fantastic deal — if you're up to the challenge. This set contains 1,432 pieces so assembling it won't be an easy feat. It'll take hours but that can be a great way to keep yourself busy until the next race weekend comes along.
The 2022 replica also features the V6 cylinder engine with moving pistons, steering, suspension and differential for precision cornering — just like the real MCL36. It comes with stickers too, just like most other Lego sets.
The finished car measures 25.5 x 10.5 x 5 inches so you could even display it with pride on your coffee table. Or you could get a McLaren themed display wallboard ($89) which will a) save space, b) make your space look really cool, and c) make your guests very envious.
Now that McLaren has a real chance at winning the World Drivers' Championship, there's no better time to get the lego set as you can save $40 on it. Happy building!

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Apple CEO Tim Cook has revealed that a documentary is being made on Lewis Hamilton, inspired by his story of coming from a working-class family who began his racing career in karting and went on to become one of the most successful drivers in Formula One. The topic of the documentary came up as Cook and Hamilton spoke about their roles in the upcoming F1 movie, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Joseph Kosinski, scheduled to hit theaters on June 25 (June 27 for North America). Hamilton serves as a co-producer in the movie, who was entrusted with the task of ensuring the movie maintains F1 authenticity. Cook highlighted the role of producing partner Apple Studios in the movie. The tech giant's film and television production division has been producing films since 2019.

He said: "Lewis is very inspiring for me. He came from a working-class family. He broke all of the 'then rules' about who was going to be driving and who couldn't drive. Started with a go-kart and now he's an F1 driver. That's an incredible life story. "Fortunately, we're also doing a documentary on Lewis, and I can't wait. I can't wait, because I think it's the ripple in the pond that will inspire millions of people."

I took some of my best photos with the Canon EOS R5 Mark II — and it's currently at its lowest ever price

As part of my job as reviews writer at Tom's Guide, I get to test some of the best mirrorless cameras, whether they're for beginners, enthusiasts or professionals. If it's a high-speed camera with a solid burst rate, I always put it through its paces by photographing animals and birds — and if you're on the lookout for a camera that can withstand anything, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II is the one for you. However, there's no sugarcoating it: the EOS R5 Mark II is an expensive camera. Its body alone costs $4,299 / £3,799, and I haven't seen it get a major price drop... until today. Right now, you can save $500 at Amazon U.S. or £238 at Amazon U.K.. If you're a pro photographer and are looking to upgrade, I'd snap (pun fully intended) this deal up immediately. The Canon EOS R5 Mark II improves on its predecessor by introducing a 45MP Stacked sensor that captures lots of detail for extreme cropping. Its intelligent autofocus system with auto subject-detection quickly locks on to animal and human faces and eyes, as well as vehicles. It's built well and handles sublimely, and its 30fps burst shooting and 8.5-stops of IBIS make capturing action effortless. The EOS R5 Mark II is capable of withstanding anything you throw at it. Fully weather-sealed and protected against dust and rain, you can use it in virtually any environmental setting — indoors and outdoors. It's sublime to handle thanks to the sculpted grip, and it never feels too bulky to carry around your neck. Brits, rejoice! The EOS R5 Mark II is discounted in the U.K. too. Bad news is that it isn't as big a discount as the one being offered to the Americans. At Amazon U.K., you can save £238... which isn't a lot but it's something. But of course, the EOS R5 Mark II's prowess lies in its imaging capabilities. Featuring a 45MP Stacked CMOS sensor which enables speedier readouts to minimize rolling shutter distortions, it takes stunning photos with beautiful color science. 45 megapixels also give you room for extreme cropping. Canon has also perfected the EOS R5 Mark II's autofocus system. With auto subject detection, the camera quickly locks on to animals, birds, humans, vehicles, you name it. In my testing, the camera took mere milliseconds to focus on the subject regardless of how many times I switched between, say, humans and vehicles. It even locked on to a slightly obscured squirrel which even my own eyes could not see! A picture is worth a thousand words, of course, so you can browse through the sample gallery above and see just how gorgeous they are. The EOS R5 Mark II has a stacked feature set and you can read all about it in my full review. Its in-camera upscaling (powered by AI) for images shot as JPEG/HEIF is a highlight. It enhances resolution by 4x, extrapolating the image's EXIF data, creating stills up to 180MP from the original 45MP image. You can upscale either one image or a series of burst shots, and it's one feature that can revolutionize how you photograph subjects. The EOS R5 Mark II is our pick for the best full frame mirrorless camera for a plethora of reasons. It's super straightforward to use with a well-laid out control scheme, its autofocus system gives you little to complain about, and it takes ridiculously good photos. If I were you, I'd save $500 at Amazon U.S. or £238 at Amazon U.K. right now — that's the lowest I've seen the camera drop to!

Ferrari Resort 2026 Collection

A 1960s photo in Ferrari's Maranello workshop—where Enzo Ferrari founded the famous automotive company in 1947—shows a glamorous lady wearing fur and cat-eye sunglasses observing Ferrari craftsmen at work. During an in-studio preview, creative director Rocco Iannone explained that the image is one of the main focuses of the resort 2026 collection. It's important because it exemplifies the brand's cultural status, a carmaker so well known that 'the word Ferrari itself is commonly used as an absolute comparative,' as Iannone put it. With this in mind, he designed a collection that keeps the workshop at its heart. The opening looks are inspired by engineers working in business- and science-oriented areas, with sartorial looks made of coated denim trench coats and leather separates, often matched with Ferrari-red ties. References to the automotive world are recurring but always subtle, such as the car silhouette evoked through the shape of zips or the shoulders of leather bikers and blousons with integrated spoilers that clearly recall those found on Ferraris. Sometimes, instead, actual car parts become the main materials; as is the case with discarded Ferrari tires that have been transformed into a yarn used for knitwear and iridescent suits—a copyrighted fabric called Q-Cycle—in an innovative approach to circular creativity. In other cases, inspiration comes from pilot gear of the past, like the ample leather cargo pants that recall the 1930s, or the 7x7 check, typical of racing suits, that was reworked on silk shirt dresses, knitwear pieces, and embossed leather garments. Among the accessories, the soft La Ferrari Dino bag stands out; it's a riff on the Dino model, a car named after Enzo's son.
