Daniel Ricciardo could find his career “wrapped up” if it does not work out at Red Bull, according to David Coulthard. After a miserable couple of years at McLaren, Ricciardo returned to his home of Red Bull in the hope of not only giving himself a break mentally but also rediscovering the form that made him one of the most exciting drivers to watch on the grid. The Australian opted for the route less travelled as he pondered his post-McLaren future, choosing to decline offers of a full-time seat to take up the third driver spot at his former outfit. Ricciardo has maintained he is looking for a way back onto the grid for 2024 and is hoping to use time in the Red Bull car and simulator to refine his skills. He may only be 33 but he has been warned by another former Red Bull man Coulthard that he could find his F1 career over should he not impress at the Milton Keynes based outfit. “Daniel knows now having had a year of us seeing his performance not being where we all knew … [Read more...] about David Coulthard’s warning to Daniel Ricciardo after Red Bull return

David Adickes , a resident Houston artist best known for his giant sculptures around the city, such as the iconic "Mount Rush Hour," featuring the U.S. presidents, and the Instagrammable "We Love Houston" sign , has created a new work that pays tribute to one of our nation's most beloved presidents. The 95-year-old sculptor recently created a 5-ton bust of the late President John F. Kennedy which will soon be christened near the George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The hollow statue of the nation's 35th president , located at 14550 John F. Kennedy Boulevard in East Aldine, will serve as a "welcome mat" for travelers arriving to the area. Carlos Silva, chairman of the East Aldine Management District and its East Aldine Arts Coalition—which funded the artwork—shared footage of cranes lifting the statue's parts into place on Tuesday. "Bringing public art to East Aldine has become my passion over the past few years and today was quite the blessing," Silva wrote in a … [Read more...] about Houston artist David Adickes behind massive JFK bust erected near IAH

David Crosby, a singer-songwriter who helped define the sound of the Woodstock generation as a key member of the 1960s and '70s bands the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, but whose wanton drug abuse made him a cautionary symbol of the era's culture of excess, has died at 81. His publicist Michael Jensen confirmed the death. No further details were immediately available, but Crosby had a history of hepatitis, diabetes, heart ailments and other problems. Crosby possessed one of the most ethereal singing voices of the 1960s, a sweet tenor that harmonized well with others. As a member of the Byrds - a group once regarded as the mid-'60s American counterpart to the Beatles - and later with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash (sometimes augmented by Neil Young), Crosby sold millions of albums and performed songs that symbolized the era of peace, love and political engagement: "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "Eight Miles High" with the Byrds; and, with Stills, Nash and … [Read more...] about David Crosby, who embodied the Woodstock generation, dies at 81

The FIA have angered several paddock personalities with a ban on F1 driver political statements, but David Coulthard has offered a different view. A season-on-season rise of Formula 1 drivers utilising their platform to broadcast personal views on social and political issues has been stopped dead by an FIA ruling announced in December. Motorsport’s governing body has blocked “the making and display of political, religious and personal statements” that violate their “general principle of neutrality” from 2023. Having become an outspoken advocate for Black Lives Matter and climate activism, Lewis Hamilton will be the driver most affected by the move. After winning the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix, the seven-time champion appeared on the podium wearing a T-shirt that referenced a fatal police shooting in the United States. Sebastian Vettel also freely used his status as four-time F1 Champion to support causes close to his heart before retiring last year. Meanwhile, questions remain … [Read more...] about David Coulthard speaks out in support of FIA ban on drivers’ political statements

David Coulthard has revealed he did get some ticking offs from Sebastian Vettel’s press officer when the four-time World Champion was going through his rough patches. Vettel has called time on a Formula 1 career that will be the envy of many drivers that have come before and many drivers that will follow, winning four consecutive World Championship titles with Red Bull from 2010 to 2013. But, after that title-winning success, the trophies dried up and then, slowly but surely, the wins did too as the Ferrari love affair ended in divorce and next team Aston Martin firmly remained in a very crowded midfield battle. Ahead of Coulthard driving Vettel’s title-winning RB7 on the streets of Dublin this weekend, the Scot was asked about Vettel’s legacy and revealed his punditry role when discussing Vettel’s tougher spells sometimes got him into a spot of bother with Britta Roeske, Vettel’s long-time press officer. “For me, it was a little bit of a shame to see the end of his career not … [Read more...] about David Coulthard recalls ‘run-ins’ with Sebastian Vettel’s press officer over poor form

Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 11 David Crosby, the brash rock musician who evolved from a baby-faced harmony singer with the Byrds to a mustachioed hippie superstar and an ongoing troubadour in Crosby, Stills, Nash & (sometimes) Young, has died at 81. The New York Times reported Thursday, based on a text message from Crosby's sister in law, that the musician died Wednesday night. Several media outlets reported Crosby's death citing anonymous sources; The Associated Press was not able to confirm Crosby's death despite calls and messages to multiple representatives and Crosby's widow. Crosby underwent a liver transplant in 1994 after decades of drug use and survived diabetes, hepatitis C and heart surgery in his 70s. While he only wrote a handful of widely known songs, the witty and ever opinionated Crosby was on the front lines of the cultural revolution of the … [Read more...] about David Crosby, rock musician and CSNY co-founder, dies at 81

According to a report in German media, Liberty Media are eager to see FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem replaced in his role. President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has made headlines for a variety of reasons in recent weeks, with the biggest furore caused when the FIA boss tweeted to express his misgivings about the apparent valuation of Formula 1. This was after a report emerged revealing F1’s owners, Liberty Media, had turned down a buyout attempt from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, reportedly offering $20 billion to purchase the sport from the commercial rights holders. This news prompted Ben Sulayem to take to Twitter, with the response from F1 being a terse letter written by Sasha Woodward Hill, F1’s General Counsel, pointing out that Ben Sulayem had performed an action outside his remit as FIA President. In the days following this, the President also found himself in hot water over sexist comments that were published on a now-archived version of his website, dating … [Read more...] about German media report ‘Liberty want to replace Mohammed Ben Sulayem with David Richards’
