So what went wrong for Ferrari on race day?

Well, Charles Leclerc lead the team in pole position at his home race and looked sure to claim the victory.

The wet conditions meant drivers started the race on the appropriate tires and change them when the track dried.

However, Ferrari called Sainz in early for the change. Confusion on the team radio then saw race-leading Leclerc also pull into the pits.

This meant both Ferrari drivers were in the pits at once, handing their lead over to Red Bull.

This is a big no-no in Formula One and is seen as a strategic blunder that cost Ferrari the race.

Monaco’s course is known to have little room for error and minimum opportunity to overtake, which makes these team decisions critical.

Leclerc finished fourth place overall and was extremely furious at the team’s mistake.

It hurts a lot. That’s it.

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.
