F1 Needs an American Star. At 19, Jak Crawford’s Ready for the Call.

Formula 1 fever has swept across the U.S., and now the pieces are almost in place to cement its grip. There are splashy stateside races in Miami, Austin and Vegas. It’s finally competitive enough to excite the viewing public. And an iconic American brand, Cadillac, is set to add an 11th team to the roster in 2026. Now all the sport needs is a hometown driver worth cheering for.

That’s where Jak Crawford comes in.

To kick off our new series Who’s Next, where we’ll be profiling rising stars in fields ranging from sports to tech to culture and beyond, we spoke at length with the 19-year-old Texas racing phenom who is the next American in line for a shot at the pinnacle of motorsports. While he’s about to begin his third season in Formula 2, the rung below F1, he has his sights firmly set on the big show.

“I’ve raced against and beaten people that are racing in Formula 1 this season,” he told us, “so I feel like I have what it takes now.”

The 14 Best Pieces of Lingerie to Gift This Valentine’s Day

BY LOGAN MAHAN

Women do not want to buy their own lingerie. I’m telling you this as a woman who does not want to buy her own lingerie. And it’s not because I don’t want to spend upwards of $100 on a bra. (Well, I definitely don’t wanna do that but there’s a little more to it.)

And while we believe in gifting luxurious lingerie all year round, Valentine’s Day is the one holiday dedicated to romance, intimacy and sex (if you don’t count Thanksgiving, of course). So I've gathered a range of lingerie, from traditionally sexy pieces to laid-back, comfortable styles that she’ll love to receive this Valentine’s Day.
