Lewis Hamilton extended a heartfelt apology to McLaren’s rising star, Oscar Piastri, following a collision during the Italian Grand Prix that dashed the Australian rookie’s hopes of earning points and necessitated a pit stop for a new front wing.

Hamilton, who finished sixth despite receiving a five-second penalty and two penalty points from race stewards, took full responsibility for the incident and acknowledged his error. The incident occurred as Hamilton attempted to overtake Piastri, who had been in eighth place, at the entry to the Variante della Roggia, just ten laps from the race’s conclusion.

Addressing reporters, Hamilton expressed remorse, saying, “It was a bit unfortunate, and I misjudged the gap I had with Piastri right at the end. It was totally my fault, and I went and apologized to him straight afterward, and we move on.”

Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff commended Hamilton for his sportsmanship, highlighting his willingness to admit fault, a rarity in the motorsport world where drivers often try to deflect blame during tense moments.

Wolff stated, “He’s very sportsmanlike about these things. And he is the only one that I see out there admitting and saying ‘I got this wrong.’ We just had a chat, and he said, ‘I didn’t see him on the right, and it’s on me.’ Pretty much everyone else is otherwise complaining and moaning just to try not to get a penalty.”

Hamilton’s gesture of accountability has garnered praise from fans and fellow competitors alike, highlighting the sportsmanship and integrity that have made him a beloved figure in Formula One.

The incident, while unfortunate for both drivers, underscores the unpredictable nature of motorsport and the importance of maintaining professionalism and accountability in the face of challenges.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
