- F1 races are exhilarating. While racing alongside 21 other cars, an F1 driver can reach speeds of up to 231 mph, making it one of the world's most dangerous sports.
And F1 drivers need to be physically prepared to prevent disaster. Over the course of a single race, they experience hundreds of pounds of force, temperatures up to 130°F, and risk extreme dehydration which can lead to lowered brain function. In order to stay on the road and not pass out, F1 drivers have to be in peak physical condition.
In order to find out how F1 drivers can survive a sport that is so physically demanding, Vox producer Nate Krieger hit the gym. Since F1 is such an international sport, there aren’t many specialized trainers in the US. So with the help of an F1 performance expert currently based in the United Arab Emirates, Nate worked out with David Dunlop, a strength and conditioning coach who works with NFL players. And it turns out that training for F1 is surprisingly simil...

- ICE is still making arrests. So why does it feel like we're hearing less about it?
After two fatal ICE encounters in Texas and Maine, in less than a week, we asked Politico's Eric Bazail-Eimil what has actually changed inside the Department of Homeland Security.
His answer: The biggest shift isn't necessarily the enforcement. It's the optics.

- Is soccer one of the hardest sports in the world to train for?
Soccer might be one of the hardest sports to train for. Players need endurance to run for 90 minutes, with only one 15-minute break. And in the World Cup knockout rounds, if there is a tie, match time could extend to 120 minutes. Over the course of a game, the average player runs between 6 and 8 miles. But endurance is just a piece of the puzzle. Players also need to be capable of explosive acceleration, quick stops, jumping, and have a surprising amount of upper body strength.
In order to find out how soccer players can get in shape for a sport that is so physiologically complex and chaotic, Vox producer Nate Krieger went to a practice with Brooklyn FC, a professional soccer team in the USL Championship League.

Today, it's helping make thousands more kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplants possible. But as it's expanded, it's also raised difficult questions about patient protections, medical ethics, and public trust.
This is the story of donation after circulatory death (DCD — how it changed organ transplantation, and why some experts say the safeguards haven't evolved as quickly as the practice itself.

- How is it possible to discover a new species in NYC? Vox senior correspondent Benji Jones recently set up insect traps in New York City’s Central Park and Prospect Park as part of a project to try to identify a new species. But this isn’t just a wild experiment. The project is based on a surprising reality: Despite how thoroughly explored places like New York seem, scientists still haven't identified most of the species on Earth. This is especially true for some insect families and other small organisms, many of which belong to what scientists call “dark taxa”: groups where the vast majority of species remain undescribed.
You can find out more about the Species Project at Vox.com, where Benji will be updating his findings all summer long.

- “Juneteenth is a deeply emotional moment for enslaved people,” said University of Oklahoma historian Karlos K. Hill.
In Texas and across the country, emancipated African Americans began celebrating annually, with parades, concerts, and picnics. “Being able to go wherever they want and being able to wander about; for enslaved people, it was an expression of their freedom,” says Hill. “Formerly enslaved people celebrating, in public, their newfound freedom, was an act of resistance.”
Today, Dr. Hill says, commemorating Juneteenth is important for all Americans because it helps us see all the ways that slavery still shapes this country, including, as he says, “the desire to master and dominate Black bodies.”

- With the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York City, big-city mayors have once again become a focal point of national politics.
Now, in Los Angeles, the mayoral race in November is heating up with Councilmember Nithya Raman edging out reality TV star Spencer Pratt to secure her candidacy against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. And Raman, a Democratic Socialist like Mamdani, is zeroing in on housing and affordability as defining issues of local politics.
But beneath the promises to take on hot-button issues that plague Angelenos, a persistent question remains: Why can’t the LA mayor get anything done?
Part of the answer takes us back to the creation of the LA city charter, a product of the turn-of-the-20th-century progressive movement that emerged in response to the corrupt politics that plagued cities like New York and Chicago.
Despite the radical and experimental origins of LA’s decentralized governance approach, a weak mayoral off...
