Following the announcement from Aston Martin driver Sebastian Vettel earlier last week on his retirement after the 2022 season, the English team has now confirmed that two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso will be taking his place on a multi-year deal from 2023 onwards. Talks of the 41-year-old driver retiring have long been passing through the paddock, but the Alpine driver is showing no interest in leaving the sport, especially after his return following a season out of Formula 1 in 2020. Having previously won two world championships with Renault back in 2005 and 2006, the Spanish racer lost out on a contract two years ago when his second stint with McLaren ended in less than ideal terms, with the team refusing to renew his contract. With Renault rebranding to Alpine in 2021,...

Jason of Beverly Hills has just given NFL fans a closer look at its championship rings made for the Los Angeles Rams. JBH looked to do something extra special to celebrate last year’s 2021 NFL season and to recognize the winners of Super Bowl LVI. The ring is full of Easter eggs and is one of the biggest championship rings with 20 carats worth of diamonds alone. With a focus on designing the ring around the SoFi Stadium, the ring features diamond-covered beams/pillars that act as windows for peering inside the ring. The magic is revealed when the owner unscrews the top portion of the ring — a full miniature stadium complete with turf, LED board, stadium seating, and sidelines of both teams can be found. The details do not stop there as the top portion sees a roof made with parts of the act...

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is now in possession of the historic memorabilia — dropping $6.18 million USD to finalize the bid during Heritage Auction’s recent showcase. The WBC belt holds more history than just winning the title itself, but rather marks Ali’s return to competitive boxing following the stripping of his boxing license and World Boxing Association title after refusing to serve in the Vietnam War. After seven long years, Ali was able to take to the ring once again and managed to knock out Foreman by the 8th round. Similar to the fight, Irsay had a bout...
