MON SEVEN

Cadillac has become the first American auto giant to step into the fiercely competitive world of Formula One with a dedicated team. The storied U.S. brand unveiled the official team livery for its inaugural 2026 season during theSuper BowlSunday night.

The Super Bowl ad, which aired during the fourth quarter, shows the black and white livery. It features part of President John F. Kennedy's 1962 speech in which he said, "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

"That challenge is one that we are willing to accept ... and one which we intend to win," the edited speech said in the ad. The short feature closed out with the phrase: "THE MISSION BEGINS."

Leading Cadillac's effort is team principal Graeme Lowdon, who's built the team from the ground up, including new facilities in Indiana, the home of Indycar; North Carolina, the home of NASCAR; and Silverstone, England, the home of F1.

Speaking with CBS before the livery reveal, Lowdon called the road to get Cadillac into the F1 game "lengthy, with lots of twists and turns."

He recently shared that Cadillac had hired more than 500 people to join the new team, from a pool of some 143,000 applicants.

"There's a lot of expectation, and quite rightly so," Lowdon told CBS News. "General Motors is a hugely respected and impressive entity ... so there is that pressure, but that's what Formula One's about."

On the track, the American brand will be represented by former Mercedes team driver Valtteri Bottas, originally from Finland, and Mexican former Red Bull driver Sergio Perez. Widely considered to be veterans in the sport, they have a total of 16 Grand Prix victories and more than 500 race starts between them.

Having that level of experience behind the wheel, for an otherwise new team, was the chief motivator behind signing those two drivers, according to Lowdon.

"These guys know how to win," he said. "But above all else, they have an ability to gel a team together, so they're the focal point for the engineering activities, the garage activities, everything to do with operating a team at the highest level."

A slow start in a fast sport?

Experts say American fans hoping Cadillac will deliver a blockbuster first season as it steps into the ring against longtime heavyweights such as Ferrari and Mercedes may be disappointed.

The odds of Cadillac winning an F1 race, or even finishing on the podium this season, aren't generally considered very strong.

A winning Formula One car, and a winning team behind it, can take at least several seasons to develop, and require consistent investment.

Ross Brawn, the man widely credited as the architect behind German F1 sensationMichael Schumacher's success, told CBS News at the 2026 Autosport Awards in London that American fans may need some patience.

"It's very tough," Brawn said about the expectations for the Cadillac team this season. "They've got some very good people there. They have been sensible in choosing a lot of experienced people, but it's going to be very tough, so give them a bit of time."

David Croft, a prominent Formula One commentator for Britain's Sky Sports network, urged fans this year to look for development, not podium placement.

"Wherever they start the hope for me is that that's not where they'll finish," he told CBS News at the 2026 Autosport Awards. "They've got the drive and the determination, and they've got the right people in place to be a success eventually in Formula One, but it's going to take a bit of time."

Formula One's growing popularity in the U.S.

According to ESPN, which has long held Formula One broadcasting rights in the U.S., 2025 was the biggest season to date for average viewership for the sport, with 16 of the 24 races setting viewership records. The broadcaster has said that over the past eight years, average viewership per Grand Prix more than doubled, from 554,000 to 1.3 million in the U.S.

Formula One is still dwarfed in the U.S. as a racing spectator sport, with overall viewership for the Nascar Cup Series, for instance, averaging 3.2 million in 2025.

But insiders say the trajectory is undeniable, and encouraging.

"There was a time we'd go to Austin, the U.S. Grand Prix, and nobody would know what Formula One is when we got to passport control, let alone who we were," Croft told CBS. "Now people know who we are and what Formula One is, what it stands for."

Many pundits see the success of Netflix's "Drive to Survive" series behind F1's rising popularity in the U.S.

Croft also credited the addition of two more races in the United States, in Miami and Las Vegas. Alongside races in Texas, Mexico, Canada and Brazil, a total of six F1 races now take place within American time zones, making it easier for fans to tune into the action live, he noted.

Lowdon hopes Cadillac can ride the wave of popularity, and that fans will enjoy following the new team's journey - even if it means settling for relatively small "wins" at first.

"It's really so difficult to achieve success that, if you come along and join the journey ... then [fans] can enjoy, if you like, the minor victories along the way," he said. "Even just producing a car as complex as this is a minor victory in itself."

New England quarterback Drake Maye said he received shoulder injections beforeSunday's 29-13 Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

"I shot it up, so not much feeling," Maye said when asked how his shoulder felt. "It was good to go, and it felt all right."

Heading into the Super Bowl, Maye waslimited in practice with a shoulder injuryhe suffered in the AFC championship win over the Denver Broncos. On the team's initial injury report, the 23-year-old quarterback was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury and an illness that caused him to miss a practice.

Despite being removed from the injury report and telling reporters he felt well heading into the game, Maye struggled in the Super Bowl. Maye completed 27-of-43 passes for 295 yards, 2 touchdowns,2 interceptions and a fumble,with most of his passing yards coming in the fourth quarter. Maye's second interception was returned for a touchdown and all but closed the game.

Maye's protection also did him no favors. He was sacked six times on Sunday, compared with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, who was sacked once. Patriots rookies Will Campbell and Jared Wilson struggled against the power of the Seahawks' pass rushers and the quickness of secondary players on blitzes sent by head coach Mike Macdonald on the left side of the offensive line.

Despite Maye's performance, he didn't know if his shoulder limited him in Sunday's game.

"I think it would be hard to say that," Maye said. "I was feeling good enough to be out there. I wouldn't put the team in harm's way to not be myself. Just didn't make plays tonight."

Maye struggled this postseason. TheMVP runner-upfinished with a 40.0 QBR in the playoffs, which ranked only above the Chicago Bears' Rex Grossman in 2006 and the Denver Broncos' Peyton Manning during his final season in 2015. Only Manning won a Super Bowl in that group.

Despite facing four of the top six regular-season defenses in yards allowed, Maye was able to win in different ways and help lead his team to the Super Bowl in his second NFL season. Maye moved the ball on the ground when defenses shut down the passing game or when winter weather conditions limited air yards against the Broncos in the AFC championship game.

In the end, it was not enough to win it all.

"This hurts," an emotional Maye said after the Super Bowl. "It definitely hurts. They played better than us tonight," he said. "They deserved to win that game. For the whole team and myself, what a journey it's been for us. I love this team and those guys in the locker room. We left it all on the field and just came up short. We didn't play our best, and that's what happens. ... It's going to sting for a while, but that's what you sign up for."

The Boston Red Sox are pivoting after losing third baseman Alex Bregman to the Chicago Cubs infree agency. Perhaps in response to that move, the team reportedly made a trade for Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin on Monday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Durbin, 25, hit .256/.334/.387 as a rookie. It marks the third time in his career Durbin has been traded.

Durbin, who was originally drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 14th round of the 2021 MLB Draft, is known as a scrappy, undersized player who is capable of strong defense at third base.

While he's hit well in the minors, his upside with the bat is a bit of a question after a middling rookie season. Durbin's slash line wasn't overly impressive, though was five percent better compared to the league average. He managed that despite one of the worst average exit velocities in the game and a low barrel rate. Both figures cast doubt on Durbin's ability to be a major producer at the plate moving forward.

But Durbin has been the type of player who has overcome those shortcomings in the past. Even last year, he showed an ability to optimize his approach at the plate, making sure he was pulling his fly balls, a good way for a player like Durbin to maximize his power output. That approach came through in the second half, which saw Durbin club seven home runs in 234 plate appearances. That came with a big reduction in Durbin's on-base percentage, so he'll need to find a way to reconcile that to be the best version of himself in the majors.

In addition to Durbin,the Red Sox alsoreceived Andruw Monasterio, Anthony Seigler and a competitive-balance round B pick, per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.

Monasterio, 28, hit .270/.319/.437 in limited time with the Brewers last season. He saw time at every position on the infield and even played two innings in left field in 2025. Seigler, a 26-year-old third baseman, hit just under .200 in 73 plate appearances in the majors last year.

In exchange for Durbin, the Red Sox are parting ways with a key piece involved in the Rafael Devers trade. Left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison is the main player heading to the Brewers in the deal.

Harrison, 24, didn't see much time in the majors following that trade. After making eight appearances with the San Francisco Giants, Harrison was sent to the minors after being acquiring in the Devers deal. He made three major-league appearances with the Red Sox at the end of the regular season, putting up a 3.00 ERA over 12 innings.

Prior to the 2024 MLB season, Harrison ranked within the top half on most top-100 prospect lists, topping out as No. 23 on MLB.com's list heading into that season. While the lefty hasn't embarrassed himself in the majors yet, he hasn't lived up to those expectations either. The Brewers have a knack for getting the most out of their young pitchers, however, so this could be a great landing spot for Harrison.

The Brewers will also receive 27-year-old pitcher Shane Drohan and 28-year-old infielder David Hamilton in the deal. Hamilton is known more for his defensive ability and has hit just .222 since 2023. Drohan saw his strike-out rate soar in the minors last season, but was old for Triple-A and never got a chance in the majors with the Red Sox.

With the move, two of the key pieces acquired by the Red Sox in the Devers deal are no longer with the franchise. In addition to shipping out Harrison, theRed Sox also traded awaypitcher Jordan Hicks on Feb. 1. Hicks struggled mightily in limited work with the Red Sox following the Devers trade, posting an 8.20 ERA over 18 2/3 innings. The Red Sox were disappointed enough with that performance that they agreed to part with a better prospect since the Chicago White Sox covered a chunk of Hicks' salary moving forward.

Both the Brewers and Red Sox are expected to contend in 2026 after making the playoffs last season. Despite that, both teams still have a few glaring roster deficiencies. The Red Sox may have plugged one of those with Durbin. The Brewers, meanwhile, are engaging in a bit of a rebuild on the flyafter trading awayace Freddy Peralta earlier in the offseason.

The Durbin trade presents more questions in Milwaukee than answers, but the team has a strong recent track record of getting the most out of its young, unproven players. Harrison could be the next Brewers pitcher to take that leap, and the team does have a handful of impressive infield prospects who could replace Durbin's numbers before long.

Given Durbin's youth and low salary, the Brewers didn't need to make the move. The fact that they did speaks to the team's excitement about Harrison, and could be a sign it didn't see a higher ceiling for Durbin moving forward.

But Durbin has overcome the odds before. And if the Red Sox can further optimize his approach at the plate, there's potential for Durbin to develop into an extremely useful, well-rounded contributor in all facets of the game.

SANTA CLARA, California  — They came, they marched, they chanted − all under a close watch. But it wasn't ICE agents who patrolled the streets on Super Bowl Sunday, as many had anticipated.

Hundreds of people on Feb. 8 took over a main thoroughfare less than two miles away from Levi's Stadium, site ofSuper Bowl 60between theSeattle Seahawksand theNew England Patriots, just before kickoff, railing againstPresident Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts usingImmigration and Customs Enforcementand Border Patrol.

Their voices got louder, echoing off nearby buildings while they chanted "no ICE, no KKK, no racist USA," "dare to struggle, dare to win," and "it's our right to resist, it's our right to rebel."

The protest capped a weeklong slew ofrallies, marches and demonstrationsin the area, all culminating in the biggest turnout on game day.

"We deserve to be seen and heard," said Lyla Salinas, 22, an organizer with CSO San Jose, one of the protest's nearly two-dozen sponsors. "We need to show our presence on one of the world's biggest stages."

Even though law enforcement officials confirmed last week there would be no ICE enforcement at any Super Bowl 60 event, authorities on foot, on bikes and on horseback watched intently as they followed the protesters down Great America Parkway. No arrests were made during the almost two-hour event, Santa Clara police said.

Also watching was California Democratic CongressmanRo Khanna, who spoke and walked with several protesters and told USA TODAY that ICE was not present in the area.

"Our staff has received multiple updates throughout the day. We need to make sure they don't come during the World Cup as well," Khanna said, noting several international soccer matches will take place in his Silicon Valley district in June.

Salinas used the opportunity to tell Khanna that he and his organization have tried many times to reach out to the lawmaker, seeking his involvement, and to ask him not to support funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Khanna told Salinas he remains a firm "no" on voting for additional Homeland Security funding, as DHS funding was extended until Feb. 13, creating a deadline for Congress to negotiate further. Khanna told Salinas they would keep in touch.

"I told him he needed to be more supportive of what we're doing, that we're showing our communities we're here to defend them," said Salinas about putting pressure on Khanna. "He said he would help us, but actions speak louder than words."

Turnout was a surprise

Holding a sign that said, "No Secret Police," Doug Wolf, 60, of Boulder Creek, California, said he was pleasantly surprised by the protest's turnout.

"We shouldn't have to be here, but you gotta be out here," said Wolf, amid the chanting. "The Constitution and the Fourth Amendment are being shredded right in front of us. We have to take a stand."

Ariel Ranker, a member of the nonprofit 50501 San Jose, agreed.

"If we don't stand up and fight back, we may not have a democratic society anymore. This is unacceptable, especially if we still want to call ourselves a democratic nation," Ranker, 25, said in between chanting with her bullhorn. "This is not the country I grew up in."

Rankin got fired up when listening to a call-and-response chant by Kimberly Woo, an organizer withServices, Immigrant Rights and Education Network(SIREN) of Santa Clara County, who said they have the "home-field advantage" over ICE.

"No hate, no fear," Woo yelled. "Immigrants are welcomed here!"

Hours before the protest, several activists gave about 15,000 towels with the words "ICE OUT"  to fans attending the Super Bowl, hoping they would raise them throughout the game and duringBad Bunny's halftime performance, to protest the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations.

The gesture, called "Flags in the Stands," was organized by Contra-ICE, a coalition of artists, musicians, and community organizers.

Drawn by political cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz, the design was inspired by Bad Bunny, and shows a rabbit wearing the singer's signature pava (straw hat), while holding a grenade in one hand (a nod to local rockers Green Day, who opened the game and their multiplatinum album American Idiot). The rabbit kicks a football that's in a frozen block of ice.

One volunteer, Dan Reynolds, said he passed out more than 600 towels to fans. A handful of people politely gave them back to him.

"That's not a bad percentage," Reynolds said as he ran out of his supply. "We hope they get put to good use."

Seahawks fan Mikki Ellingsen, 59, of Seattle, said she wished she grabbed more.

"Absolutely," Ellingsen said, waving the towel. "Proud to do it."

Key Venezuelan opposition figure Juan Pablo Guanipa was arrested by heavily armed men on Sunday night, his supporters said, just hours after he had been released from a jail where he was held as a political prisoner.

Guanipa's family and political allies said he had been "kidnapped" by a group of men and accused the Caracas regime of being responsible.

The country's public prosecutor's office later confirmed it had requested Guanipa be placed under house arrest, claiming a breach of his release conditions.

Leader of the conservative Primero Justicia party, Guanipa was among several high-profile political prisoners freed on Sunday, in the latest effort from Caracas to satisfyUS demandsfollowing Washington's ouster of strongman leader Nicolás Maduro.

But Guanipa, 61, was later snatched by a group of men in the Los Chorros neighborhood of Caracas, said Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Laureate María Corina Machado, who is not in the country.

"Heavily armed men dressed in civilian clothes arrived in four vehicles and took him away by force," she saidon X.

Guanipa's son Ramón said in a video that his father was "ambushed" at a late night event "by approximately 10 agents who had no identification whatsoever."

"They pointed their guns at them, they were heavily armed, and they took my father," he said, before demanding to see proof his father was still alive.

Guanipa's Primero Justicia party also accused the Caracas regime of being behind the kidnapping. "We hold (interim President) Delcy Rodríguez, (National Assembly President) Jorge Rodríguez, and (Interior Minister) Diosdado Cabello responsible for any harm against the life of Juan Pablo," it said in a statement on X.

After Maduro was captured by US special forces last month, his former deputy Rodríguez took over as leader with the blessing of the Trump administration, on the proviso Caracas complied with a raft of US demands – from access to oil to the release of political prisoners.

Guanipa was freed earlier Sunday night after more than eight months in prison.

Shortly after walking out of a detention center in Caracas, Guanipa had uploaded a video on social media, declaring, "Today we are being released. Much to discuss about the present and future of Venezuela, always with the truth at the forefront."

Guanipa was arrested inMay 2025, following claims by Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, made without evidence, that he was involved in an alleged "terror" plot against regional and legislative elections. Guanipa has repeatedly denied the accusation.

Machado had celebrated the news of his release earlier Sunday. "My dear Juan Pablo, counting down the minutes until I can hug you! You are a hero and history will always recognize it," she wrote on social media.

Another of Machado's allies, lawyer Perkins Rocha, was also released on Sunday, but under strict restrictions, according to his wife María Constanza.

Human rights group Foro Penal said it had confirmed that at least 30 political prisoners were released on Sunday, according to the group's director, Alfredo Romero.

Others who were freed include Luis Somaza, a member of the Popular Will party, and Jesús Armas, an activist and former opposition councilman.

Venezuela's opposition and human rights groups have long accused the country's authoritarian regime of using arbitrary arrests to suppress dissent. Foro Penal estimates that hundreds of additional political prisoners still remain behind bars.

The government has denied that it holds people for political reasons, arguing that those in prison have committed crimes.

Sunday's releases come days after Venezuela's National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez promised relatives of political prisoners that "all detainees" would be freed. Rodríguez, the brother of acting president Delcy Rodríguez, said the process would be completed "no later than" Friday, February 13.

His announcement comes as the acting socialist government moves forward with anamnesty billthat could lead to the mass release of prisoners – some of whom have been held since 1999, when strongman leader Hugo Chávez came to power – as a first step toward what officials describe as national reconciliation.

Although the government announced the release of "a significant number of people" days after the US captured Maduro, rights groups and family members believe that the pace of releases has been slow.

So far, more than 380 people have been freed from prison, according to Foro Penal, while the government claims to have released more than 800.
