The United States Grand Prix qualifying session turned out to be a disappointing affair for the Mercedes team, particularly for George Russell, who lamented the situation as the “story of the season.” Despite a promising sprint qualifying that saw Russell secure a second-place start and Lewis Hamilton begin from seventh, the actual qualifying proved disastrous. Hamilton was unable to progress past Q1, ending up in the last row of the grid, while Russell crashed heavily into the barriers at Turn 19 during the final moments of Q3, compounding the team’s struggles. Leading up to the event, Mercedes had introduced a…

Alpine team principal Oliver Oakes has announced that the team will reveal its power unit partners for the 2026 Formula 1 season by the end of this year. Alpine, which currently uses factory Renault engines, will transition to a customer team once the new F1 regulations take effect. The shift away from Renault power units has led to staff at Alpine’s Viry-Chatillon engine base moving to other projects, even though development on their 2026 engine had already begun. This change in direction has not been without controversy, as those involved in the Renault engine program have expressed strong opposition to…
Wall Street extended its weekly winning streak to six in a row. Earnings drove the stock market higher — can they do it again in the week ahead? The S & P 500 and the Dow both closed Friday at new record highs and turned in their best weeks of the year. But on a percentage basis, up more than 0.6%, it was the tech-heavy Nasdaq that drove the action Friday after Netflix stock’s 11% post-earnings gain. The Nasdaq finished less than 1% away from its July all-time highs. All that buying last week almost landed the market back in…
Mercedes faced a challenging qualifying session at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, leaving the team principal Toto Wolff frustrated. Sky F1’s Ted Kravitz revealed that Wolff turned down an interview after the session, as Mercedes had a disappointing performance overall.

Fernando Alonso explained the situation involving Liam Lawson during qualifying in Austin, addressing the tension between them that stemmed from the previous day’s Sprint race. Alonso had called Lawson “such an idiot” over the team radio for his defensive driving during their battle for 16th position in the Sprint, and the two drivers later discussed the incident in parc fermé. During Q1 of the main event, Alonso was seen cutting in front of Lawson after exiting the pit lane, which raised eyebrows and reignited the rivalry between the two. Lawson believed Alonso’s move in qualifying was no coincidence, recalling that…
As every investor would know, not every swing hits the sweet spot. But you have a problem if you face massive losses more than once in a while. So consider, for a moment, the misfortune of Sutro Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRO) investors who have held the stock for three years as it declined a whopping 80%. That would be a disturbing experience. We really feel for shareholders in this scenario. It’s a good reminder of the importance of diversification, and it’s worth keeping in mind there’s more to life than money, anyway.Now let’s have a look at the company’s fundamentals, and…
Eddie Jordan, the former owner of an F1 team, is reportedly interested in acquiring the London Irish rugby union club. This interest emerged shortly after he played a significant role in facilitating the high-profile transfer of Adrian Newey from Red Bull Racing to Aston Martin for the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Jordan has not been directly involved in Formula 1 since selling his team nearly two decades ago. Instead, he…
