🚨| Max Verstappen's 'very emotional call' with Marko upon Red Bull departure:
— Max Verstappen shared that he had a "very emotional call" with Helmut Marko following the announcement of his departure from Red Bull. Marko, who had been a pivotal figure in Verstappen's career, stepped down from his role as senior advisor at the end of the previous season. Speaking to media, Verstappen expressed:
“Yeah, for sure, I mean, we had a very emotional call after Abu Dhabi. It will be a bit different, but all good things come to an end at some point.”
— Verstappen acknowledged the significant impact Marko had on his journey to becoming a four-time World Champion. Despite Marko's departure, Verstappen confirmed they would maintain their relationship. He remarked:
“But we'll see each other anyway around, if that means that, you know, I'm going to Graz or whatever, we have a lunch together.”
“You know, we have achieved so many great things together that will always stay on our minds.”
— Helmut Marko, reflecting on their conversation, mentioned the emotional undertone of their discussion. He described:
“There was a certain melancholy in the air.”
— Verstappen's career has been closely tied to Red Bull, having started with Toro Rosso before moving to Red Bull Racing in 2016, where he won his first race at the Spanish Grand Prix. The Dutch driver has consistently highlighted Marko's influence throughout his career.

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...
Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.
After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.
It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.
We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.
The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.
They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.
Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!
Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.
It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.
And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.
This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.
It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.
