"Harlem," the vibrant series following four flawed and fabulous Black women tearing up Upper Manhattan, exalts female friendship above all else. It is the foundation of every win and safe landing after every loss. So it makes sense that to secure her leading role in the Prime Video show, actress Meagan Good leaned heavily on her own council of women. "The first thing I did was call Grace because I heard that she had gotten Quinn," said Good, referring to her friend and eventual co-star Grace Byers, whose response was "Don't tell me you're coming in for Camille!"

Red Bull reserve driver Liam Lawson enjoyed his wild ride at Bathurst when he got behind the wheel of the RB7. As the 2023 staging of the Bathurst 12 Hour played out at Mount Panorama, there was time in the schedule for Lawson to take the RB7 for a spin. At the hands of Sebastian Vettel, the RB7 became a title-winning Formula 1 car back in 2011, but it was sporting less downforce for Lawson’s demo run at Mount Panorama. That being said, Lawson had expected to be in for a rougher ride. “Just crazy,” said Lawson in reflection with Speedcafe.com . “Just really crazy. “The first lap was honestly very daunting going up the hill with all the elevation, and I was quite nervous. “But by the second lap I actually got quite comfortable and the car was really good, so I loved it. “At points it was a bit rough, but for a Formula 1 car on this place, I expected it to be worse, just felt cool, just felt really cool. “Down Conrod, we were completely flat and was through The Chase, … [Read more...] about Liam Lawson takes in ‘really crazy’ Bathurst Formula 1 car run with Red Bull
