Colletta downplays speculation regarding changes in Ferrari F1.

Formula 1 | Antonello Colletta, the head of Ferrari's World Endurance Championship, has categorically rejected rumors suggesting he might be in line to take over Frederic's position. It appears that car prices continue to increase, yet one legendary roadster has quietly become more affordable than ever when considering inflation. According to reports, the prices of the NA and NB generations now exceed $39,000 when adjusted for inflation, while the ND generation remains the least expensive option when adjusted. It's well-known that car prices typically don't decrease, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata has certainly followed this trend. When the Miata debuted in 1989 as a 1990 model, it had a starting price of $13,800. Today, purchasing a new model will set you back at least $29,830. Upon closer examination, however, the data suggests a different narrative. A recent study indicates that when adjusted for inflation, the cost of owning a Miata has actually declined over time. Analysis of historical pricing shows that during the NA generation's presence in the U.S. from 1989 to 1997, the price increased gradually from $13,800 to $19,125. The second-generation NB was introduced in 1998 and carried the model into the early 2000s, ultimately reaching a price of $22,098 before transitioning to the NC. The NC started with a base price of $20,435 and concluded its production years at $25,595. Similarly, the current fourth-generation ND began at $25,735 in 2015, with prices rising since then. Nevertheless, when Hagerty adjusted the base price for inflation, it became clear that Miata prices have varied significantly. When adjusted for inflation, the costs of the NA and NB generations exceed $39,000 in today's currency. In contrast, the NC ranges between $32,000 and $36,000, depending on the model year and inflation rates. The latest ND generation is significantly more affordable and has been cheaper than all preceding Miata models in real terms since 2022. This is quite surprising, especially considering that many enthusiasts regard the current ND as the best Miata ever produced. To gain a clearer understanding beyond Hagerty's statistics, we created our own list of original Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRPs) and adjusted them using the official U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator. Using the introductory price from the actual debut production year of each generation (not the model year), we adjusted everything to reflect November 2025 dollars. The resulting table facilitates a more straightforward comparison of how the real-world cost of the base model has evolved. What's on the horizon for the MX-5? Mazda is reportedly developing a new generation of the Miata, expected to launch in 2027. Although official information is limited, early reports indicate it will be equipped with the company’s 2.5-liter SkyActiv Z engine, likely producing just over 200 horsepower. Additionally, an interesting aspect is Mazda's target weight. The company aims to keep the next-generation vehicle under 2,205 pounds (1,000 kg), making it lighter than the current ND. It remains to be seen if they can achieve this goal while maintaining the price.

Waymo's self-driving taxis are engineered to handle unexpected situations, but the recent power outage in San Francisco proved to be overwhelming for them. "Cadillac is undertaking a task I once faced" Craig Pollock acknowledges that Cadillac is embarking on a challenging journey as it establishes a Formula 1 team from the ground up, yet he believes the timing for their entry is quite favorable. The former founder of BAR and the person who guided Jacques Villeneuve's career expressed to La Presse Canadienne that Cadillac is tackling similar obstacles that he encountered in the past. "Cadillac is doing what I had to do," Pollock stated. "You begin from zero, and you have to construct the team. That’s incredibly difficult." BAR, known for its rocky start in 1999 when it failed to achieve a single point, eventually made improvements. Pollock emphasized the need to manage expectations wisely this time around. "A team is not merely about assembling 400, 500, or 600 individuals," he elaborated. "Building a team takes considerable time. It may require three to five years." He is confident that Cadillac has taken lessons from previous experiences, citing the hiring of Graeme Lowdon, the former Marussia leader. "They won’t repeat the mistakes we made in the beginning," Pollock remarked, referring to BAR’s early overestimation of their potential for victories in their inaugural season. In contrast to BAR’s situation, Cadillac will enter the sport at a time of complete regulatory changes. "This is unequivocally the best moment to join as the 11th team," Pollock emphasized, highlighting that all competitors are essentially starting anew under the 2026 regulations. Pollock also endorsed Cadillac's selection of seasoned drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez. "It’s a clever choice because they bring their experience from previous teams and can assist the engineers in making necessary adjustments," he noted. However, he qualified this by saying, "Both are excellent drivers, but in reality, they have consistently played the role of second driver on their respective teams." Regarding Aston Martin’s prominent recruitment of Adrian Newey, Pollock expressed some caution. Having collaborated briefly with Newey at Williams, he acknowledged the designer's exceptional competence but raised questions about his new position as team principal. "There are never any miracles in F1," Pollock cautioned. "We’ll have to see. It’s not just about him; it’s the entire team that surrounds him. Everyone needs to collaborate. But if he is pulled in two directions... that’s something I would avoid."
