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.

So, who’s winning the race so far?

America’s top priority right now is to make sure the United States—not China—lead in artificial intelligence and the U.S. Air Force just took a big step in that direction.

The Air Force is incorporating ‘AI’ and machine learning for its future fleets.

Top officials say the ‘AI’ controlled aircraft could be on track to be as good as any human pilot.

Established brands like Peugeot and Nissan are slashing prices by significant margins to compete with emerging Chinese EV competitors.

Facing a dual challenge of a decelerating growth in EV adoption and a surge in competitively priced alternatives from Chinese manufacturers like BYD and MG, traditional automakers are forced to enact substantial price cuts to clear inventory.

This trend reflects the fast pace within the market and signals the formidable struggle for dominance in the EV space. #featured #trending

Does this mark a shift in Washington’s public approach to the war?

President Joe Biden is vowing to withhold weapons from Israel if the Jewish State goes forward with its invasion of Rafah.

The comments came after the Biden administration halted a recent shipment of bombs amid concerns over Israel’s plans to launch a full-scale assault on Rafah even as cease-fire talks continue with Hamas.

Jonathan Tobin, the Editor-in-Chief of Jewish News Syndicate, joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
