The interest in Formula One in the U.S. has taken off since the Netflix Series ‘Drive to Survive’ and that means more betting on the sport

Canadian rapper Drake put huge money down on Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to win the Spanish Grand Prix.

300,000 Canadian dollars was the bet and if the Frenchman won the race, Drake was taking home $750,000 thousand.

Leclerc started from pole and led the race for the first 27 laps before disaster struck, power unit issues saw the 24-year old fail to finish.

Red Bull’s was handed the victory and championship lead to Max Verstappen.

Drake is no stranger to publicising his big bets although this was the first time he put money down on an F1 Grand Prix.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
