• F1 Could Soon Have Its Tallest Driver Ever

  15-09-2026 01:26 via dmarge.com
  
  Ugo Ugochukwu won the 2026 Formula 3 title on Sunday without doing a single thing that will make a highlight reel. The 19-year-old New Yorker ran second the whole way in Madrid, held his nerve through a late safety car restart and finished the season on 159 points to Freddie Slater’s 145.
  He is the first American to ever win the championship.
  That matters well beyond the trophy, because an F3 title carries serious weight toward the Super Licence points that gate entry to Formula 1. Lewis

• What Rolex’s US$49.4 Million Daytona Auction Means For The Watch In Your Safe

  30-09-2026 05:13 via dmarge.com
  
  Rolex has spent a century pretending the secondary market doesn't exist, so it was bloody strange watching Aurel Bacs hammer down four one-off Daytonas at Phillips in London on Monday night for a combined US$49.4 million.
  The Four Seasons collection was Rolex's first ever charity auction, with every dollar going to the Federer Foundation and Leonardo DiCaprio's Re:wild. Each watch pairs a precious metal case with a natural stone dial and a serious amount of gem-setting, and Rolex has confirmed

• You Can Now Sleep In A Retired Private Jet For Less Than A 5-Star Hotel

  30-09-2026 04:25 via dmarge.com
  
  Flying private usually requires a net worth with a lot of zeroes, a charter membership and a thick skin when it comes to carbon emissions. On an industrial estate on the outskirts of Bristol, England, there's a far cheaper way to tick it off the list, provided you don't mind that the plane isn't going anywhere.
  It's called PytchAir, and it's a 1960s Boeing 727 that local entrepreneur Johnny Palmer has turned into a 1,000 square foot short-stay rental, perched on a stack of shipping containers a

• Lando Norris Swaps The Halo For A Lie-Flat In Etihad’s New Business Class Campaign

  30-09-2026 01:33 via dmarge.com
  
  Lando Norris spends his weekends strapped into a carbon fibre tub at north of 300km/h, so it tracks that when the reigning Formula 1 world champion finally gets to sit down on a plane, he wants a seat that goes flat.
  Norris is fronting new Etihad Airways campaign imagery built around the airline's Business Class cabin. The hero shot shows him reclined in a sand-coloured quarter-zip, a glass of something fizzy with a slice of lemon in hand, gazing out the window like a man who hasn't queued at a

• Every Taylor Sheridan Show Ranked, From Cowboy Masterpiece To Absolute Dud

  30-09-2026 00:37 via dmarge.com
  
  There was a time when Taylor Sheridan was just the bloke who wrote Sicario and Hell or High Water. Now he basically is Paramount+, a one-man content factory pumping out Stetsons, shootouts and slow-burn family feuds at a rate that would make a Netflix algorithm blush.
  The numbers are ridiculous. According to Parrot Analytics figures reported by Forbes, Sheridan's shows have generated around US$800 million for Paramount+ once you factor in subscriber growth and retention, with Mayor of Kingstown

• The Laver Cup Crowd In London Looked More Like The Met Gala Than A Tennis Match

  30-09-2026 00:04 via dmarge.com
  
  You can tell a lot about the health of a sport by who bothers to turn up and watch it. Judging by the front rows at the 2026 Laver Cup in London this weekend, tennis is doing just fine, thanks.
  Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted at the O2 Arena alongside Roger Federer, the man who dreamed up the team event in the first place and who has settled into retirement as the most charming host in the game. Anna Wintour, who has never knowingly missed a Federer occasion, was there too.

• The Silver Space Jacket Mercedes F1 Drivers Wore In The Heat Is Now On Sale

  29-09-2026 11:49 via dmarge.com
  
  The shiny silver jacket Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli wore through the hottest weekends of the 2026 Formula 1 season is now something you can actually buy.
  adidas Motorsport announced the release on Instagram with a caption calling it the jacket everyone has been waiting for, and judging by the response, that wasn't just marketing fluff. The post has racked up more than 122,000 likes and close to 20,000 shares, numbers most F1 teams only see when someone bins it into a wall

• This Brass BMW E46 M3 Is Reportedly One Of 22 In Right-Hand Drive, And It’s For Sale In Sydney

  29-09-2026 07:14 via dmarge.com
  
  Scroll through the E46 M3 listings on any given weekend and you'll see the same colours on repeat. Titanium Silver, Carbon Black, Interlagos Blue if you're lucky, and the odd Phoenix Yellow that's been baking in a Penrith driveway since the Howard government.
  This one is different. Listed on Carsales by a dealer in Kingsgrove in Sydney's south, it's a 2004 E46 M3 Coupe finished in BMW Individual Messing Metallic. Messing is German for brass, and in the photos it's roughly the colour of a well-l

• Nobody In Netflix’s The Gentlemen Wears The Watch You’d Expect And That’s Deliberate

  Television usually handles a watch with one move, which is a Submariner on the rich man, a gold Day-Date on the villain, and on with the scene. Boring. DMARGE spoke exclusivly to Loulou Bontemps who styled the cast of Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen.The Gentlemen has reportedly more than six million pounds of watches strapped to its cast and almost none of them are used that way.

• The Coolest Alfa Romeo Ever Might Not Make It To Australia

  Alfa Romeo has taken the look of its ten-car Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa and spread it across the rest of its range, unveiling a new Edizione Luna Rossa special series for the Junior, Tonale, Giulia and Stelvio. So far, however, the Italian brand has only confirmed it for European markets.
  The new models were revealed in Naples ahead of the second preliminary regatta for the 2027 America's Cup, which will be the first edition of the event ever held in Italy. Italian sales opened on September

• This $41,900 Chinese SUV Goes 1017km On A Tank And A Charge

  23-09-2026 07:21 via dmarge.com
  
  XPENG's new coupe-SUV undercuts the Geely EX5, looks like a car that costs twice as much, and offers something no rival does at the price, a range-extender for the same money as the base EV.
  Born again Down Under, XPENG has priced its new L03 with a very sharp pencil. The coupe-styled mid-size SUV starts at $41,900 plus on-roads, a whisker under the Geely EX5 and within shouting distance of the BYD Atto 3. The interesting bit is that the same $41,900 buys either a pure EV or a range-extender wi

• Panerai’s New 42mm Luminor Is the Best Thing It’s Made In Years

  23-09-2026 06:22 via dmarge.com
  
  For thirty-odd years, owning a Panerai came with a quiet admission that your wrist was about to do some heavy lifting. The brand never apologised for that, and the Paneristi never asked it to.
  Now, with the smaller-watch wave still rolling through every boutique from Collins Street to Castlereagh, Panerai has taken the case that made it famous and brought it down to 42mm for the first time. Three new references, the PAM01710, PAM01711 and PAM01714, are all built on the angular 1990s Luminor tha

• 10 Style Rules Every Man Should Follow, According To The Gentlemen’s Costume Designer

  Ask a costume designer for style advice and you brace for a list of labels you can't afford. Loulou Bontemps named two, quickly, then went back to talking about shoes, seams and patience.
  She dresses The Gentlemen, a show men now watch with one eye on the plot and one on the tailoring. Her actual working method has more in common with a Saturday at the op shop than with anything happening on Bond Street.

  I wanted to know how the whole thing actually comes to life, and more specifically, what happened between season one and season two. The fashion jump is not subtle, and most viewers could miss it.

• Australian College Football Player Daniel Hughes Becomes Viral Sensation

  21-09-2026 07:12 via dmarge.com
  
  Daniel Hughes spent Saturday afternoon standing on a sideline in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, doing absolutely nothing, and became the most talked-about man in American sports.
  Florida State were losing to No. 10 Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium when an ESPN camera found their punter with his hands on his hips. Bleached mullet flattened by the heat, moustache fully committed, tattoos running from his ears down under his collar and out both sleeves.
  The clip went everywhere within hours.

• Roger Federer May Have Just Cost Nike Its Biggest Football Star

  Kylian Mbappé signed with Nike in 2006, when he was seven years old. Reports out of France say that contract ran out on July 31 and wasn't renewed, and on Friday he turned up as the face of On's move into football, with the Swiss brand's first boots due in 2027.
  Reuters reported he's being paid partly in On shares, which makes him an owner rather than a hired endorser. Thierry Henry, who has been working on the project since late 2025, is running it as director of football.

• Taika Waititi Hung A Zeekr From The Ceiling And Called It Art

  Most car ads follow the same script, with a winding coastal road, a drone shot and a bloke in a quarter-zip looking very pleased with himself. Taika Waititi, it turns out, can't stand them.
  That's partly why Spotlight, the Oscar-winning filmmaker's new photographic exhibition with Zeekr, is far more interesting than your average brand collab. Waititi was handed the Zeekr 7X and given one rule, which was that the SUV's headlights had to be the only light source in every single shot.

• Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog Is Now A US$25,000 Hublot, And Every Surface Is Inflated

  Jeff Koons has spent three decades turning the humble party balloon into some of the most expensive art on the planet. Now Hublot has taken his most famous animal and put it on the wrist, with the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons launching tonight in New York.
  It comes in three editions, mirror-polished stainless steel, red anodised aluminium and blue anodised aluminium, with just 200 pieces made of each. All three carry the same price of CHF 20,800 (US$25,100), which is a lot for an al

• Serena Williams Finally Gets Her Own Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Signature Watch

  Audemars Piguet has made plenty of limited-edition Royal Oaks for sporting heroes over the years, from Rubens Barrichello to Lionel Messi, and almost all of them were built for a man’s wrist. Its newest one breaks that habit, and it carries the name of a woman with 23 Grand Slam singles titles. The GOAT.

• Volkswagen’s Weird ‘Jetsons’ Car Is Also The Slipperiest Car On Earth

  The Mission Efficiency is a Volkswagen, which is worth establishing early, because a teardrop coupe with covered rear wheels, frameless glass and no door handles you can actually see reads more like a Jetsons prop than anything Wolfsburg has put on a stand this decade.

• Singapore Is Auctioning The Hermès It Seized In A $2.4 Billion Laundering Bust

  Three years ago, more than 400 Singaporean police officers moved on a single criminal network in one coordinated sweep. They came away with cash, cryptocurrency, gold bars, sports cars, wine, property and enough designer goods to stock a department store.
  The final tally topped S$3 billion, or roughly $2.4 billion in US terms.
  Ever since, the awkward question has been what to actually do with all of it. The answer now sits in a windowless concrete room inside Singapore Freeport, the high-securi

• This Is McLaren’s Most Versatile Supercar Ever

  Supercar press loans run two or three days. If you’re lucky. You get the car, you do your drive, you shoot it, and it's gone before you've really gotten to know it. Fourteen days doesn't happen.
  This one happened because McLaren heard I'd sold my RS4 and was waiting for my EV to arrive. They emailed and said, ‘you need a car, so take the Artura until the new one turns up’.

• Word Number Plates May Be Australia’s Most Undervalued Collectible

  A four-letter Victorian plate reading 'DIOR' went up on MrPlates this month with no asking price. Where the number should sit, the listing says "Offers". The seller says it has been held in the same family for more than 30 years and has never been fitted to a car. A rare bird, indeed, but nobody can tell them what it is worth, because word plates are impossible to price.

  Nobody warns you about this at the point of sale. Precious metal picks up sunscreen, sweat, perfume, hand cream and whatever is in the water at Bondi Icebergs, and every metal fails in its own way. Gold goes flat and looks like brass, sterling silver tarnishes to something you would find in a shipwreck, and platinum dulls so gradually you assume that is just how it looks now.

• Weirdest SUV Ever Becomes Instant Hit, Selling 10,000 In 4 Minutes

  Xiaomi said on Weibo on Monday that its new Sky Nomad SUV range took more than 10,000 locked-in orders within four minutes of going on sale, which is roughly the time it takes to boil a kettle. The company did not break the number down by variant.
  The Sky Nomad is the phone maker's first move away from pure electric cars, and it is a strange one. Every version runs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that never drives the wheels, working instead as an onboard generator to top up the battery,
