We did have high expectations and it worked as we thought,Good day, good day,'”“We managed to hang in there,we drove an attacking/defending race, the maximum possible,” says Verstappen,“We go race by race.
’Big cheers for young Kimi.“It was so stressful but I am super happy.I am really happy to bring the podium home.In the first corner I tried to have as much speed as possible.”“Well done, team.
That made up for last year,” says George Russell,“Congrats to Kimi,”Piastri ends up extending his championship lead on Lando Norris,But Verstappen grows in threat,“Oh my god,” says Kimi Antonelli, who uses some rude words.

The British luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover has warned of a hit to profits from Donald Trump’s tariffs, after the company temporarily paused deliveries to the US.The carmaker, which is owned by India’s Tata Motors, halted shipments to America in April after the US president imposed a 25% duty on all foreign-made vehicles, before resuming them last month.

Hey AI! Can ChatGPT help you to manage your money?
Artificial intelligence seems to have touched every part of our lives. But can it help us manage our money? We put some common personal finance questions to the free version of ChatGPT, one of the most well-known AI chatbots, and asked for its help.Then we gave the answers to some – human – experts and asked them what they thought.We asked: I am 35 years old and want to ensure I have a comfortable retirement. I earn about £35,000 a year and have a workplace pension, in which I have saved £20,000
Workers in UK need to embrace AI or risk being left behind, minister says
Workers in the UK should turn their trepidation over AI into “exhilaration” by giving it a try or they risk being left behind by those who have, the technology secretary has said.Peter Kyle called on employees and businesses to “act now” on getting to grips with the tech, with the generational gap in usage needing only two and a half hours of training to bridge.Breakthroughs such as the emergence of ChatGPT have sparked an investment boom in the technology, but also led to forecasts that a host of jobs in sectors ranging from law to financial services will be affected.However, Kyle said: “I think most people are approaching this with trepidation. Once they start [using AI], it turns to exhilaration, because it is a lot more straightforward than people realise, and it is far more rewarding than people expect
