Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton bucked the trend by apologising after an incident in Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix, insisting the rest of the F1 grid “complains and moans to try and not get a penalty.” Hamilton admitted he was at fault for a collision with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri at Monza – he received a five-second time penalty as a result – and apologised to the Australian after the race. Wolff, who stated that Max Verstappen’s 10th win in a row was “completely irrelevant”, concurred with Hamilton’s analysis and made a sharp dig at the rest of the field in the process. “Lewis is very sportsmanlike with these things – and he is the only one that I see out there admitting, saying that he’s wrong,” Wolff told media after the race. “We just had a chat and he said ‘I didn’t see him on the right and that is on me’. And I think that kind of sportsmanship is what you need to admire with him. “Pretty much everyone else is complaining and moaning just to try to not get a penalty. “These things happen. It was hard racing to overtake here and we’ve seen a few of these. It [the penalty] was justified.” Ultimately, the penalty had no impact on Hamilton who finished sixth, while the clash cost Piastri a top-10 finish after he had to pit for a new front nose, dropping him down the order. He finished 12th. Hamilton said: “I misjudged the gap I had with Piastri right at the end. It was totally my fault. “I apologised to him straight afterwards and we move on.” Piastri, though disappointed with the race-impacting clash, seemed satisfied with Hamilton’s apology. “He creeped over a bit more than he thought,” Piastri said. “The stewards gave their verdict and Lewis apologised and nothing more I can ask for or do at that point.” Hamilton’s team-mate, George Russell, finished fifth in an indifferent weekend for Mercedes in Monza after the pair signed new contracts until the end of the 2025 season.

Practice at the Canadian Grand Prix descended into an early farce on Friday after FP1 was halted due to CCTV issues. First practice got underway for just five minutes before Pierre Gasly’s Alpine car stopped at the side of the track with a driveshaft issue, triggering a red flag. FOLLOW LIVE: Canadian GP practice stopped due to CCTV issues in Montreal Yet while Gasly’s car was quickly wheeled to safety, the red flag remained due to issues with the local CCTV infrastructure around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. As opposed to qualifying and the race where the clock stops with a red flag, in practice sessions the clock keeps rolling in order to keep the daily schedule progressing. The session did not resume, but FP2 will now run for 90 minutes and will start half-an-hour earlier at 4:30pm local time, 9:30pm (BST), in order for the drivers to get valuable time on track. An F1 spokesperson stated: “The FIA have clarified a two-hour gap is required between FP1 and FP2. “FP2 will start at 1630 local time, 30 minutes earlier than previously scheduled, and run for 90 minutes. Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas was quickest out of all the early runners, though some cars did not even get out on track.

Scottie Beam and Sylvia Obell, the multi-hyphenate media darlings and culture connoisseurs, first met and became friends at ESSENCE Fest. Their story reads so much like a perfect Black girl meet-cute, you would almost believe that it was fiction if you didn’t hear it yourself. Over Zoom, Beam and Obell immediately put me at ease, and make me feel like I’m a part of their close-knit friendship. As Black women, our DNA is coded to recognize where we are kept safe, and Beam and Obell are well-versed in Black girl love languages: from early ‘00s references, to the praise of each other’s hair, or our shared love of Beyoncé, the nuanced cultural takes heard on their podcast are borne out of a deep care for Black women.
