British Grand Prix: Winner labelled “disrespectful” for celebrating while his combatant in hospital

Published

Lewis Hamilton has won the British Grand Prix for the eighth time, following a collision on the first lap that took out arch rival Max Verstappen

Verstappen slammed Hamilton as “disrespectful” and “unsportsmanlike” following their collision in the race.

The Red Bull driver was taken to hospital after suffering an impact in the first-lap crash.

Hamilton was given a 10-second penalty for the incident, which dropped him to fourth place after his pit stop, but he fought back to win the race.

He says it was unintentional but Red Bull boss Christian Horner lashed out at the Brit after the race, saying Verstappen’s crash into the wall was the equivalent force of 51G.

“He was very respectful on leaving a gap. I got somewhere alongside him. He knew I was there but he stayed committed and did a wider line and he nearly kept it,” Hamilton said.

“I backed out at one point just to make sure that we didn’t come together but I think it was just a really nice balance and I think that’s really how the racing should go.

“In a perfect world, that’s what would have happened in the first attempt. But different time, different place, different driver,

Everyone will have their own opinion of the incident, but among the many consequences is that the championship battle, from looking like Verstappen was beginning to run away with it, is now close again. Verstappen remains favourite, but his lead is down to eight points.”

“It’s been such a hard year,” Hamilton said. “One I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. I’ve loved this battle but it is an emotional rollercoaster, as it always is within a championship.

Tariffs create economic uncertainty for corporate giants

CEOs warn tariffs are harming planning, raising costs, and reducing consumer spending, leading to uncertain economic forecasts.

CEOs warn tariffs are harming planning, raising costs, and reducing consumer spending, leading to uncertain economic forecasts.

In Short

U.S. company CEOs, including those from American Airlines and Procter & Gamble, are worried about the negative effects of changing tariff policies on their businesses and consumer behaviour.

Many industries anticipate increased costs, potential price hikes for consumers, and a slowdown in economic growth due to uncertainty in tariff regulations.

CEOs from major U.S. companies, including American Airlines and Procter & Gamble, are expressing concerns about the impact of shifting tariff policies on their businesses and consumer behaviour.

Travel has already been affected, with airlines revising their full-year outlooks due to softer leisure travel as uncertainty looms. Procter & Gamble is contemplating price increases on some products in response to these tariffs.

Major automotive groups have urged President Trump to reconsider the 25% tariff on car parts, citing significant increases in costs for consumers. American Airlines’ CEO, Robert Isom, noted that hiring and expansion plans may be curtailed due to the unpredictable economic environment.

Harming investment

CEOs from various sectors, including finance and aviation, highlighted how the instability in tariff regulations is harming investment and economic growth. Some consumers are already reacting by purchasing big-ticket items prematurely, fearful of future price hikes.

Telecom executives from Verizon and AT&T indicated they cannot entirely absorb the costs associated with tariffs, leading to inevitable price increases for consumers. Similarly, home builders like PulteGroup anticipate rising costs for new homes due to tariff-related expenses on materials.

While some executives support certain tariffs, many are concerned about the long-term effects on their operations and the economy as a whole. The International Monetary Fund also projects a slowdown in global growth as a result of these tariff policies.

Trump urges Putin to halt Kyiv attacks after casualties

Trump urges Putin to cease attacks on Ukraine following deadly missile strike on Kyiv, killing 12 and injuring 90.

Trump urges Putin to cease attacks on Ukraine following deadly missile strike on Kyiv, killing 12 and injuring 90.

In Short

A missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed 12 and injured 90, prompting Trump to urge Putin for a peace deal amid escalating tensions.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but ongoing strikes and unacceptable Russian conditions raise concerns over future peace negotiations.

In a recent missile and drone attack on Kyiv, 12 individuals were killed and 90 injured, marking the most severe air assault this year.

U.S. President Trump responded by urging Russian President Putin to halt attacks and pursue a peace agreement. He expressed concern over the loss of life, highlighting that 5,000 soldiers perish weekly.

The attack involved over 200 missiles and drones and targeted critical Ukrainian industries. Trump’s frustration has increased as peace talks stagnate, with him also critiquing Ukrainian President Zelensky for dismissing a peace proposal that would legally recognise Russian control over Crimea.

Peace deadline

Despite Trump’s previous reluctance to criticise Putin, the attack shifted his stance. He has signaled a deadline for both Russia and Ukraine to reach a peace deal while the U.S. contemplates the extent of its involvement in negotiations.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but Russia’s conditions remain unacceptable to Kyiv. A recent U.S. proposal would allow Russia to retain substantial territory and would limit Ukraine’s NATO aspirations.

Zelensky accused Russian forces of terrorism, attacking civilian areas and inciting widespread destruction, while Trump acknowledged the challenges of restoring Crimea to Ukraine.

The situation continues to escalate, with ongoing strikes on civilian infrastructure, drawing international attention and condemnation. As rescue workers clear debris from the latest attack, uncertainties remain about the future of peace talks and the safety of Ukrainian citizens.
