McLaren has debuted what is thought to be its 2025 race suits, designed with a distinctive "Stealth Mode Activated" theme.
This fresh look was presented by the team with a photo on social media of Lando Norris sporting the predominantly black design, accented by minimal pops of color. The suit features the iconic Papaya orange McLaren logo, as well as subtle elements like Lando Norris’s initials and race number. Looking closer, the design also features a mixture of gloss and matte black.
What is currently unclear is how the race suits could change with the addition of the teams sponsors.
McLaren achieved a huge milestone by clinching the 2024 Constructors' Championship, their first in 26 years, a feat that has created momentum for the upcoming season. This success was propelled by their strong driving duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, both of whom played vital roles under the guidance of team principal Andrea Stella, who took over in 2023.

As McLaren steps into 2025, the team has made bold decisions with the design of their latest model, the MCL39. As described by CEO Zak Brown, the car's design is considered a "brave risk."
The black race suits have fueled speculation amongst fans that the team could unveil an all-black livery at the F1 75 event next week. One fan commented:
"Please tell me the livery actually has some colour and isn't just black with 1 or 2 orange stripes."

Browns make curious decision with rookie QB Shedeur Sanders
The Cleveland Browns are giving Shedeur Sanders special treatment in training camp, but it's not the type of favoritism the fifth-round pick would necessarily want. Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN, Sanders is the only Browns quarterback who has not been taking reps with the first-team offense during OTAs or the first two practices of training camp. Former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Kenny Pickett, veteran Joe Flacco and rookie Dillon Gabriel have all split reps with the first team. Despite being asked to throw passes to members of the equipment staff amid a shortage of professional pass-catchers for a four-quarterback roster, Sanders said he's thankful for the opportunity to show the Browns coaching staff his talents. "I feel like that it's not in my control, so I'm not going to think about that or even have that in my thought process of why it is," Sanders said to a question as to why he's not getting first-team reps. "There's a lot of people who want to have the opportunity to be at this level, and I'm here and I'm thankful to have the opportunity. So, whenever that is, that is." Sanders, 23, believes that he can contribute more to the Browns than what the coaching staff is asking of him. "It doesn't make me feel down or left out because I know who I am as a person," Sanders said. "I know who I am as an individual and I know what I could bring to this team. So, I can never feel less than any circumstance." The Browns selected Sanders with the No. 144 pick in April's draft. As a player whom many draft analysts thought was a first-round talent, Cleveland took what could be the steal of the draft in the fifth round. It's curious why the Browns aren't giving Sanders a shot with the first team early in training camp before the quarterback race becomes more serious. Cleveland should see what Sanders has to offer this summer. Flacco, 40, isn't a long-term solution at the position. Pickett failed in Pittsburgh. The Browns need to gauge what rookies Gabriel and Sanders can do with the first team. Having Sanders throw balls to the equipment staff is a waste of everyone's time. But then again, Cleveland has wasted plenty of quarterbacks.
Green Bay Packers 2nd Year Cornerback Has 'Impressive' Start To Training Camp
The Green Bay Packers are in the midst of training camp, and one name that’s turning heads is second-year cornerback Kalen King. After spending his rookie season on the practice squad, King is making a strong case for a spot on the active roster. With the Packers’ cornerback room in flux, this could be the perfect opportunity for the young defensive back to shine. Kalen King’s College Resume Before joining the Packers, Kalen King was a standout at Penn State. In his sophomore season, King was a force in the secondary, allowing a completion rate of under 50% and surrendering just one touchdown across 328 coverage snaps. He also recorded three interceptions and multiple pass breakups, showcasing his ability to make plays on the ball. However, his junior year was less consistent. Without Joey Porter Jr. on the opposite side, King faced more attention from opposing quarterbacks. His completion rate jumped to 61%, and he struggled in key matchups, including a tough outing against Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. Despite these challenges, King’s potential was evident, and the Packers took a chance on him with a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Making Waves in Green Bay Packers Training Camp Fast forward to 2025, and King is making the most of his opportunities in training camp. Head coach Matt LaFleur has praised his toughness and willingness to compete, even noting that King has been “impressive” in the early days of camp. While the team has yet to practice in full pads, King’s performance has been enough to generate buzz among coaches and fans alike. At 5’11” and 190 pounds, King isn’t the biggest cornerback, but his physicality and football IQ make him a compelling option for the Packers’ secondary. After undergoing wrist surgery in the offseason, King appears to be fully healthy and ready to compete for a roster spot. The Packers’ Cornerback Room The Green Bay Packers’ cornerback situation is one of the more intriguing storylines heading into the season. The team parted ways with longtime star Jaire Alexander in June, leaving a significant void in the secondary. Currently, the top options at cornerback include Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine, and free-agent addition Nate Hobbs. Javon Bullard, a second-year safety, has also been seeing time as the team’s preferred nickelback. Beyond the top four, the depth chart is wide open. Players like King, Kamal Hadden, and seventh-round rookie Micah Robinson are all vying for spots. The Packers are also experimenting with Bo Melton, a converted wide receiver, as a two-way player in the secondary. With so much uncertainty, King’s strong start to camp could position him as a key contributor in 2025. Why King’s Development Matters For a team in transition, the Packers need young players like King to step up. His ability to adapt and grow could be crucial for a secondary that’s looking to establish its identity post-Alexander. King’s college pedigree and early flashes in camp suggest he has the tools to succeed, but the real test will come when the pads go on and preseason games begin. If King can continue to build on his strong start, he could carve out a role as a rotational cornerback or even push for significant playing time. For now, all eyes are on the young defensive back as he looks to prove he belongs in the NFL.
Brewers Reportedly Listening On Trade Offers For Veteran Starter
The Milwaukee Brewers aren't going to be categorized as sellers at this year's Trade Deadline, but they very well could trade from their big league roster. The starting rotation is an area of abundance for the Crew and it's always in high demand at this time of year. The Brewers have Nestor Cortes returning from the IL soon after missing the last four months almost with a flexor strain. Milwaukee's rotation is already filled with a mix of veterans (Freddy Peralta, Brandon Woodruff, Jose Quintana) and high performing rookies (Quinn Priester, Jacob Misiorowski), leaving little room to find a spot for Cortes. A trade of a veteran starter may be the easiest solution to the problem and according to Bob Nightengale, that's exactly what the Brewers are open to. In Nightengale's Sunday notes column, he writes that the Brewers are starting to listen to trade offers for veteran Nestor Cortes. Cortes has made just two starts this season, the first one being a disaster in New York and the second one being much better, going six shutout. Still, we haven't seen Cortes pitch in a big league game since early April. It would be tough for the Brewers to rely on him for the stretch run and move out a piece that has been healthy and reliable the whole time. Granted, the potential return for a rental starter like Cortes that has pitched in just two big league games this year isn't going to be anything earth shattering. But if Cortes sticks around, it's going to create a difficult logjam to manage in the Brewers rotation. Jose Quintana has struggled a little bit of late and is another veteran that could potentially be on the block if the Brewers end up keeping Cortes around. It seems difficult to envision a scenario in which both Quintana and Cortes are in the Brewers starting rotation on August 1st. Given the report that the Brewers are listening on Cortes, it appears that Milwaukee has their preference on who they would want to keep. The Trade Deadline is coming up on Thursday afternoon at 6 PM ET.
Former NFL draft bust steals show in Cowboys' first training camp practice in pads
Things just got real for the Dallas Cowboys at training camp as the team had their first official practice in pads on Sunday. Seeing the pads on the field means we are getting closer and closer to the start of the season. That means it's time to make a statement on the field. In the first few days of practice, we found some show stealers during practice, including Marshawn Kneeland, Kaiir Elam, and newly extended tight end Jake Ferguson. Cowboys fans may be surprised to hear who the show stealer of the first practice in pads was. None other than cornerback Andrew Booth. The fourth-year cornerback had an incredible showing in the pads on Sunday. Booth had two nice pass breakups, according to those in attendance, including an impressive play against wide receiver Jalen Tolbert. It's fair to say that Booth was not a fan favorite last season. Pro Football Focus graded Booth as the 213th-best cornerback in the league, out of 222 last season. With his back potentially against the wall, Booth is showing up when it matters. Booth will be an interesting name to watch leading up to the team's first preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams in two weeks.
