  • Max Verstappen qualifies in pole position for Australian GP with flying performance for Red Bull… but Lewis Hamilton is knocked out in Q2 to only finish 11th in nightmare session for Mercedes

    Max Verstappen qualifies in pole position for Australian GP with flying performance for Red Bull… but Lewis Hamilton is knocked out in Q2 to only finish 11th in nightmare session for Mercedes

    Max Verstappen set himself up for a record-equalling 10th successive win by taking pole position for the Australian Grand Prix.

    The 26-year-old Red Bull star saw off a spirited Ferrari challenge, beating Carlos Sainz by 0.270 of a second at Albert Park in front of a crowd just short of 131,000.

    Verstappen won 10 races last season, a feat never before achieved in the sport’s history. Amazingly, he can repeat the achievement on Sunday, having not lost since the Singapore Grand Prix in September last year. His winning streak started in Japan.

    His car is clearly good but a measure of the Dutchman’s ability was that he qualified 0.359sec ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez, who was third quickest. Lando Norris, of McLaren, will start fourth.

    Verstappen has now taken pole in all three races this year.

    ‘It was a bit unexpected today, but I am very happy with Q3,’ said Verstappen. ‘Both of my laps felt nice and enjoyable. It was a tricky weekend so far but we managed to be there at the end.

    ‘They (Ferrari) seem very quick in the long runs so there is a question mark over tomorrow.’

    Lewis Hamilton had a terrible day, qualifying only 11th best, 0.059sec off team-mate George Russell, who ended up seventh. Russell has outperformed the seven-time world champion in qualifying all year. The pair of them stand at 26-26 in qualifying since Russell joined Mercedes.

    It was Hamilton’s lowest grid slot since 2010 at the sunlit track where he has recorded pole an unmatched eight times.

    Sainz’s performance was laudable considering he missed the last race in Jeddah a fortnight ago after having emergency surgery to remove his appendix.

    The 29-year-old Spaniard said: ‘It has been a tough couple of weeks, a lot of days in bed, waiting to see if I would be here today, and to make it to this weekend and then to put it on the front row, I almost didn’t believe it.

    ‘I was rusty yesterday but I got up to speed and found the pace and I feel good with the car.

    ‘I am not going to lie, I am not in my most comfortable state when I am driving out there but I can get it done. I have a lot of wired feelings, but no pain, so I will go flatout.”

    Racing Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo will start his home race from 18th position after having his time deleted at the end of Q1.

    The Australian had pushed himself into the top runners only to be deemed to have exceeded track limits. It was a disappointment for the packed grandstands that had cheered him to the rafters only moments earlier.

    Only Zhou Guanyu, of Stake, will start behind Ricciardo on a 19-man grid.

    There will not be the usual 20 cars because Alex Albon crashed his Williams on Friday and his machinery was irreparable. Yet Albon will start the race after he was handed his team-mate Logan Sargeant’s car.

    Therefore, Sargeant will sit out the event – harsh on the American, but team principal James Vowles believes the London-born Albon offers a better chance of a higher finish.

    Albon qualified 12th.

    “If I can be the first 80-year-old to go out there successfully in a bikini then I’ll take that on! I don’t think anybody has to rein in anything because of an age,” Jennifer told PEOPLE magazine. “To people who say, you should dress your age, and all those sorts of stupid comments…to each his own!”

    We have no doubts that she’s going to make this all come true! Jennifer has an amazing body, and she puts a lot of hard work and dedication into maintaining her physique. But it’s not just about keeping weight off — it’s about feeling great all year long. “I keep it going throughout the year,” she told the mag. “I stay physical so I can indulge and because it feels great, But it is harder to get yourself motivated when it’s cold and raining outside. You always feel pretty great when you’re done.”

    Her hard work has totally paid off. Jennifer always looks amazing, whether she’s on the beach with hot husband Justin Theroux, 44, (who apparently just looks that good naturally) or hitting up the red carpet. Jennifer attended the 2016 Critics Choice Awards with Justin, who presented, and stole the whole show away from him in a slinky powder blue Saint Laurent slipdress! The light as air, flowy dress gave her a laid back, cool look on the fancy red carpet, but it still brought serious drama! The long slit in the front showed off her toned and tanned gams, and the spaghetti straps let her sculpted shoulders shine. Always a dream!

    HollywoodLifers, do you think we’re going to see Jennifer in a bikini when she’s 80? Tell us in the comments!

  • David Croft Bets $6.5 on Kimi Antonelli Against Max Verstappen to Replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes

    Lewis Hamilton’s shocking decision to move to Ferrari in 2025 is likely to trigger an interesting silly season this year. Most eyes are likely going to be on Mercedes to see who they choose as the seven-time champion’s replacement. The two names that have come up most often are 17-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli and three-time champion Max Verstappen. When veteran F1 expert David Croft was asked to choose his pick between the two, he bet 10AU$ ($6.5) that Antonelli would most likely be Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff’s choice as Hamilton’s replacement.

    While speaking to Fox Sports Australia in a recent interview, Croft said, “Here is 10AU$ on the table, they (Mercedes) go with Andrea Kimi Antonelli for next season”. Croft then added that while Verstappen also is a plausible choice for the Silver Arrows, he yet believes Antonelli would be the favorite because the Dutchman is unlikely to give up “the best seat in the house”.

    Although many experts have tipped Andrea Kimi Antonelli to race in F1 at some point in the future, the Italian became one of the experts’ favorite choices to claim a seat in 2025 after Hamilton announced his sudden departure from Mercedes next year. The Silver Arrows seem to be grooming Kimi Antonelli well as they helped the 17-year-old Italian get a drive in F2 this year.

    When it comes to Max Verstappen, his name came up in the conversation amid the ongoing turmoil at Red Bull. Ever since the saga surrounding team principal Christian Horner came to light, there have been speculations that the 26-year-old Dutchman could leave the team.

    Will Max Verstappen leave Red Bull?

    Ever since the “inappropriate behavior” controversy involving Christian Horner came to light, Jos Verstappen, the father of Max Verstappen, launched a scathing criticism against the Briton. The 52-year-old claimed that Red Bull should have sacked Horner because the controversy surrounding the Briton would also damage the reputation of the Austrian side.

    This saga then escalated after reports emerged that Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko had alleged involvement in compromising Horner by leaking confidential information to members of the press. Once such reports emerged, Marko himself claimed that there was a possibility that Red Bull could suspend him.

    Because of Marko’s alleged involvement in the controversy, rumors then also emerged that the 80-year-old could leave the team. Since Max Verstappen has a close relationship with Marko, reports then also emerged that the Dutchman could follow the Red Bull advisor on the way out.

    Amid rumors that Verstappen could become available for 2025 and beyond, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff also teased the idea that his side would be keen to sign the 26-year-old. Irrespective of who Wolff signs, the second seat at Mercedes is likely to be the most coveted for the rest of this season.

    While it was a moment to celebrate the “Renaissance” world tour and Miss Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter, the movie also revealed a concerning behind-the-scenes segment about her daughter’s concert appearances, which stole the show.

    According to the New York Times, Blue Ivy was only supposed to perform once, and even then, Beyoncé needed some convincing. “She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” Beyoncé said in the documentary.

    Blue Ivy Carter, 11, is the eldest child of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who also have 6-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.

    Kyle Buchanan of the Times wrote, “Though she finally relented, Beyoncé was dismayed when Blue Ivy read comments on social media that criticized her lackluster moves. But it thrilled her mother that instead of quitting, she decided to put in the work and train even harder for future stops.”

    I remember when Blue first performed in the “Renaissance” world tour in Paris to “My Power” and “Black Parade.” While Beyoncé posted a beautiful tribute on her Instagram, other folks took it upon themselves to critique the 11-year-old’s choreography.

    “My beautiful first born 🙏🏾 I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama,” the caption read. “You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel.”

    Like Beyoncé, most of us were basking in the reality that the same adorable toddler who congratulated her mother at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, saying, “Good job, Mommy,” was now a preteen killin’ choreography in front of 80,000 people. But others found time to be negative.

    Here’s an example of the comments directed to Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 11-year-old daughter regarding her first live performance:

    Blue Ivy cannot dance, she looks like she hates being out there. She is not energetic at all. Poor baby!

    @beyonce / Via instagram.com

    You are sooo correct! She will not follow in her mother's footsteps

    Now that Beyoncé let the world know that her daughter did, in fact, see the nasty comments, I’m sure many bitter adult trolls are wallowing in embarrassment.

    After a controversial championship win in 2021, Max Verstappen came back with full force in 2022. Coupled with the power of the RB18, the Dutchman looked unstoppable. However, the sublime Adrian Newey creation almost ran out of luck in Barcelona when Verstappen was struggling to move through the field. While it angered the 26-year-old at the moment, Red Bull made up for it with a cheeky gift after the race.

    Advertisement

    The reigning champion recalled the story behind the memento in one of his live streams on Twitch sometime later. Verstappen narrated, “So, we got another story. So, you know in Barcelona, I was not very happy with my DRS. And it was my DRS actuator being the issue. So, the team gave me a present.” 

    Pointing a Red Bull can-shaped trophy to the camera, the Dutchman continued, “Look at this. It’s a can of Red Bull, like, it’s machined. And then, the DRS actuator is in there. How cool is that? And then, it says like, ‘DRS… I have no f***ing DRS!’ And then, at the back, it says my race wins and career points, It’s really nicely done”.

    Verstappen started the race in P2, behind pole-sitter Charles Leclerc. The defending champion went into the gravel and later came out in P4 after pitting for medium compound tires. George Russell, who had a pit stop as well, was right ahead of him when the duo fought for P3.

    As Verstappen was gaining on Russell on the straight, suddenly his DRS closed mid-way. When race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase informed him about the DRS failure, the three-time champion blasted him on the radio. The quote, “DRS… I have no f***ing DRS” on the gift was a reference to Verstappen’s angry radio message.

    Max Verstappen had multiple struggles with DRS at 2022 Spanish GP

    This was not the first time Max Verstappen struggled with DRS issues during the 2022 Spanish GP weekend. A day before the race during qualifying, the rear wing began acting up, thereby costing him some crucial tenths.

    That played perfectly in Charles Leclerc’s favor who snatched the pole position from his rival. Red Bull mechanics fit a new actuator to the DRS for the race for Verstappen but that had its fair share of issues too during the race.

    At Lap 13, Lambiase informed Verstappen that his DRS did not open on the previous lap. Come lap 16 and Verstappen’s DRS closed mid-way through the straight. Finally, luck favored the Dutchman as the DRS once again started working normally from Lap 24 onward.

    Fortunately for Red Bull (not so much for Ferrari), race leader Leclerc retired after suffering power loss. Meanwhile, Verstappen overtook Russell after undercutting him during a pit stop.

    Finally, Red Bull ordered Sergio Perez to let his teammate pass and concede the lead. That was enough to ensure a win for Max Verstappen, who went through a flurry of emotions throughout the race.

    Spoelstra received the largest contract in NBA history, agreeing to an eight-year, $120 million deal.

    However, NBA fans took their attention toward Spoelstra’s former wife Sapp.

    Both divorced in November after seven years of marriage.

    Fans took to social media to troll Sapp and bring up his record-breaking contract to her.

    She would respond and post a video to her Instagram account which boasts 41,000 followers.

    Sapp was seen in a bathtub and appeared to be nude as the camera only showed herself from around the neck-up.

    The caption read, “For the win” as she was promoting bath pillows.

    Earlier, Sapp took to her Instagram Story and re-shared a “way to fumble the bag” comment made by a troll.

    And Sapp revealed that she’s been receiving harassment ever since her former husband signed the massive extension.

    “I’m going to address this comment not as it pertains to my personal life choices but as it relates to a general thought process that I believe a lot of people have and that a lot of people have harassed me with over the years,” Nikki stated.

    “According to crass, ignorant, uninformed society at large, women can’t ‘win.’

    “Women can’t be genuinely in love with someone successful.

    “No, they’re pretending and they’re in it for the money. And if a woman chooses to not be with a successful partner, apparently she’s an idiot.”

    Sapp went on to say the comments affected her emotional health and said to “be nicer.”

    Spoelstra and Sapp announced the end of their marriage in November.

    They have three children – five-year-old Santiago, three-year-old Dante and one-year-old Ruby.

    Sapp is a former Heat dancer and the host of the “The Know with Nikki Spo” podcast.

    Spoelstra has won two championships and reached the NBA Finals six times in his 16 years as a head coach.

    Miami lost to the Denver Nuggets in last season’s NBA Finals and hold a 21-15 record in 2023-24.

    Three-time F1 champion Max Verstappen is arguably the best driver on the current grid, considering his recent form. The Dutchman has won a staggering 36 races since the start of the 2022 campaign (15 in 2022, 19 in 2o23, and 2 so far in 2024). Despite being so relentless and having so much confidence in his ability to push the limits, the 26-year-old interestingly continues to feel anxious when he drives an F1 car. In a recent conversation, famous YouTuber Cleo Abram asked Verstappen what it feels like to drive an F1 car.

    Advertisement

    In reply, the Red Bull driver said, “Imagine sitting in a roller coaster and it basically just shoots off. But then like 5 to 10 times worse, while having a steering wheel in your hands with all the buttons“.

    The Dutchman then explained why he continues to feel nervous whenever he steps into an F1 car despite having years of experience now. “The very first time that I sat in the car and I was going to drive it myself I was a little bit nervous“, he added.

    Advertisement

    He then added that even to this day he has such moments of anxiety because of the speed at which an F1 car “shoots off” into the distance. Another occasion when Verstappen revealed he got very nervous was when he got behind the wheel of a drifting car.

    Max Verstappen once revealed how “crazy” was his drifting challenge

    Max Verstappen may barely have any concerns about traveling at speeds in excess of 200 mph but he did reveal his discomfort when he once took part in a drifting challenge. Red Bull, who are famous for their social media content, once paired Verstappen with ‘Mad’ Mike Whiddett, a drift racer, and asked the Dutchman to undertake a challenge.

    Verstappen took part in a challenge called the ‘Horner Corner‘. During this challenge, multiple enlarged images of Christian Horner were placed around the track.

    As quoted by planetf1.com, the Dutchman said, “It was very crazy. I mean, I didn’t know what to expect already sitting next to him, and then I had to do it myself. I think it’s probably I’ve been the most nervous in the last one or two years doing that, just because it’s not natural, right? It’s not what I do normally“.

    Verstappen was simply required to drive a modified 600bhp ‘MADBUL’ Mazda in such a way that he got as close as possible to the images of Horner, but did not knock them down. The three-time F1 champion revealed that the challenge made him the “most nervous” he had been in the last couple of years or so.

    Since the onset of the ground effect regulations in 2022, Max Verstappen and Red Bull have been near invincible. The Dutchman has won more than half the races since 2022, and the team was one win away from going unbeaten in 2023. Last year, McLaren emerged as the team with the best chance of taking the challenge to Verstappen at the front of the grid, and taking note of the same, a fan asked Oscar Piastri a curious question.

    Advertisement

    Advertisement

    Piastri engaged with the fans in a session sponsored by Quad Lock, where one of them jokingly asked him if he and Lando Norris ever thought about taking Verstappen out on Turn 1 of the race so someone else could emerge as the winner. Piastri was quick to think on his feet and came up with a solid reply. He claimed there had been talks between the two of them that they would pay each other if they could take Verstappen out. However, to accomplish this, they need to get closer to Verstappen.

    “We had a few races last year where we qualified 2nd and 3rd, and we joked, semi-joked, that we’d pay each other if we could take him out. So, we’ve got to get close enough to him first.”

    Verstappen won a staggering 19 races last year and featured on the podium in 21 races. Meanwhile, McLaren started the 2023 season on a terrible note but improved drastically towards the latter end of it. Thus, there came a time when McLaren and Red Bull were close to locking horns with each other, perhaps even fighting for race wins. However, the pace in Verstappen’s car was still a bit too much for the Norris and Piastri to catch. Hence, it is hardly a surprise that their drivers thought about taking the Dutchman out, albeit jokingly.

    Lando Norris told Piastri what to do to stop Max Verstappen

    During the 2023 Japanese Grand Prix, Lando Norris came up with a way to almost guarantee himself a race win. However, he needed Oscar Piastri’s help and sacrifice to achieve the same. Verstappen stared the race in P1, with Piastri and Norris behind in P2 and P3 respectively.

    Having to start the race from the 2nd row, Norris devised a plan, taking inspiration from the olden days, that would help him win. As quoted by Crash.net, Norris called for Piastri to replicate the actions of Ayrton Senna from 23 years ago.

    Advertisement

    At the 1990 Japanese GP, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna battled each other for the world championship. Prost took the lead at the beginning of the race, but Senna intentionally rammed into his car on the first lap itself. Both drivers were forced to retire from the race, but Senna being ahead in the championship, ended up winning it.

    Norris hoped for a similar act by Piastri so that he could win his first F1 race but it wasn’t meant to be as Verstappen took another victory. Norris and Piastri, however, finished P2 and P3, capping up a strong display for McLaren that weekend.

    Famous for having worked alongside Lewis Hamilton as his physiotherapist and personal assistant, Angela Cullen is back working in the world of motorsports. She left Hamilton’s side in March 2023 after the two parties mutually agreed to part ways. But instead of returning to F1, Cullen will now be touring America in the IndyCar series. Per an update on X by Jenna Fryer, 49-year-old Cullen is working with IndyCar racer Marcus Armstrong this season.

    Advertisement

    The New Zealand physiotherapist will be siding with her compatriot, Armstrong, for the entirety of the 2024 season. Armstrong drives for Chip Ganassi Racing and is competing in only his second season. He was once a Ferrari Academy driver academy and displayed their colors in both F3 and F2.

    Unfortunately, his junior Formula stints weren’t good enough to bring up discussions about an F1 future. As a result, he moved to Chip Ganassi in the IndyCar series, where he will be working with Cullen, Hamilton’s right hand for seven years.

    Cullen helped Hamilton both inside and outside the world of F1. She was a pivotal figure in the Stevenage-born driver’s life, helping him win the later titles in his career, owing to her expertise in keeping him physically and mentally fit. They became very close friends and stayed in touch even after their split in 2023.

    Lewis Hamilton admitted to missing Cullen after their split

    After Hamilton and Cullen went their separate ways in 2023, the British driver admitted that he missed Cullen every day. Speaking to L’Equipe, he claimed Cullen was a “breath of fresh air” for him. The 39-year-old spoke about how Cullen helped him prepare for races, and stay on the top of his game. “She was and still is a good friend,” added Hamilton.

    Advertisement

    Furthermore, Hamilton also revealed he and Cullen are in constant touch with each other. In fact, they also have plans to engage in adventure sports together some time in the future, something they have often thought of doing. He expressed his gratitude to Cullen for everything that she did for him and claimed adjusting one’s routine is always a must, and his team helped him achieve that.

    Trivia: His hoυse served as the set for some of those movies, iпclυdiпg the melaпcholy British love story “Wυtheriпg Heights” starriпg Laυreпce Olivier aпd Merle Oberoп.

    The estate, which had beeп listed for $39 millioп, iпclυdes aп 11,000-sqυare-foot maiп hoυse with seveп bedrooms, 10 bathrooms aпd a two-bedroom gυest apartmeпt above the garage, accordiпg to real estate listiпgs wheп Swift boυght the hoυse.

    The home was пever owпed by aпyoпe oυtside the Goldwyп family υпtil Swift boυght it. After gettiпg a deal oп the place, she dove iпto reпovatioпs, applyiпg for aпd wiппiпg laпdmark statυs for the estate.

    The vote by the Beverly Hills City Coυпcil to award that statυs was υпaпimoυs, Maпsioп Global real estate website reported iп 2017.

    “I thiпk this is a trυe commυпity gem aпd really so thrilled that this will be laпdmarked aпd preserved,” Beverly Hills Mayor Lili Bosse said at the time.

    Maпsioп Global reported that Swift boυght the estate from the Goldwyп family throυgh a compaпy “liпked to her maпagers iп Nashville” aпd speпt “aп υпdisclosed amoυпt hiriпg architects to sυrvey aпd restore the property to its origiпal coпditioп.”

    A 2016 assessmeпt she commissioпed from architects Barbara Lamprecht aпd George Taylor Loυdeп said reпowпed architect Doυglas Hoппold desigпed the Georgiaп Revival hoυse for Goldwyп aпd his wife, Fraпces.

    Bυt what a time to bυild a graпd maпsioп — iп the middle of the Great Depressioп.

    To save moпey, Goldwyп υsed set desigпers from varioυs MGM movies to help bυild the hoυse, the architects foυпd, accordiпg to Maпsioп Global.

    The report also foυпd that parts of the estate were virtυally υпtoυched siпce 1934, iпclυdiпg the sυпkeп teппis coυrt aпd pool. Swift laυпched iпto a detail-orieпted rehabilitatioп that preserved everythiпg from the origiпal plaster moldiпg oп that staircase to the wisteria viпes climbiпg the froпt facade.

    Accordiпg to HGTV Caпada, the Goldwyпs threw memorable diппer parties iп their diпiпg room for maпy Hollywood legeпds, iпclυdiпg Marleпe Dietrich aпd “It’s a Woпderfυl Life” director Fraпk Capra. It’s said the diпiпg room table was big eпoυgh to seat 20.

    Wheп the pop star boυght the hoυse, Architectυral Digest пoted her vast real estate holdiпgs that at the time iпclυded a $2 millioп dυplex peпthoυse aпd a $2.5 millioп Greek Revival, both iп Nashville, a $17.75 millioп Rhode Islaпd estate right oп the oceaп aпd a peпthoυse iп Maпhattaп’s Tribeca пeighborhood.

    Kelce did some hoυse-hυпtiпg himself last year, moviпg oυt of his home iп Kaпsas City’s Northlaпd becaυse it was пot secυre eпoυgh oпce he started datiпg Swift aпd paparazzi came to towп.

    Jasoп Kelce told Shaqυille O’Neal that his brother “had to move … completely oυt of his hoυse,” becaυse of the atteпtioп, a drawback of fame.

    “People jυst staпdiпg by his hoυse,” Kelce said oп O’Neal’s show, “The Big Podcast.” “Yeah, I meaп safety reasoпs. Aпd the first day he moved iпto the пew hoυse, a gated commυпity, somebody kпocks oп a wiпdow of the hoυse.”

    Kelce moved iпto a 17,000-sqυare-foot maпsioп behiпd gates iп Leawood’s υpscale Tomahawk Creek Estates, described wheп it weпt υp for sale as a “oпce iп a lifetime” place to live.

    The coυple are keepiпg a low-profile iп Los Aпgeles, thoυgh they were spotted over the weekeпd oп a diппer date. Swift doesп’t retυrп to toυriпg υпtil May, bυt has a пew albυm comiпg oυt April 19, “The Tortυred Poets Departmeпt.”

    Meaпwhile, some people thiпk Kelce is competiпg oп “The Masked Siпger” as the Lovebird.
