Listen to this article Race directors have become a hot topic since the controversy of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last year, which resulted in F1 race director Michael Masi being removed from the role. This season, F1 has been rotating its race director position between Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas, who had worked in the role in DTM and the World Endurance Championship respectively. Freitas is set to take over the role at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix. Speaking on Wednesday night during the World Rally Championship's 50th anniversary gala dinner at Rally Portugal, Ben Sulayem revealed that rally co-drivers could be transformed into race directors in circuit racing, due to the organisational skills and decision-making in high-pressure scenarios required to succeed in rallying. He believes "one hundred percent" that co-drivers who undergo the necessary race director training could rise through the pyramid all the way to F1. "Honestly, we are in a challenge … [Read more...] about FIA could train rally co-drivers to become F1 race directors

The remaining Ukrainian fighters at the Azovstal steel plant have received orders to stop fighting and give up their defense of their last foothold in the city of Mariupol, Denis Prokopenko, a commander of the far-right Azov Regiment said in a video Friday. Hundreds of fighters evacuated the besieged facility in a negotiated surrender between Moscow and Kyiv this week, but it was unclear how many were still inside. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Friday that a total of 1,900 Ukrainian fighters there had laid down their arms - a claim The Washington Post could not independently verify. In the country's eastern region, Ukrainian troops are fighting a Russian assault that President Volodymyr Zelensky described as "hell" in a nightly address. "Donbas is completely destroyed," he said, accusing Russian forces of bombing the city of Severodonetsk. As the battle rages, the Senate approved President Joe Biden's $40 billion package of fresh military, humanitarian and financial … [Read more...] about Mariupol fighters ordered to stop fighting; Donbas region is ‘destroyed,’ Zelensky says

US President Joe Biden joins South Kroean President Yoon Suk-youl (second from left) and Samsung Electronics vice-chairman Lee Jae-yong (second from right) at the Samsung Electronic Pyeongtaek Campus in Pyeongtaek on Friday. (AFP Photo) SEOUL: President Joe Biden arrived in South Korea Friday, his first Asia trip as US leader, aiming to cement ties with regional security allies despite growing fears of a North Korean nuclear test. Biden wants the trip to reinvigorate a years-long US pivot to Asia, where rising Chinese commercial and military power is undercutting Washington’s dominance. He received a warm welcome from South Korea’s new President Yoon Suk-yeol, but there is growing concern that North Korea’s unpredictable leadership could conduct a nuclear test while he is in the region. There is a “real risk of some kind of provocation”, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said, as South Korean intelligence warned this week that Pyongyang had completed preparations for … [Read more...] about Biden touts closer Asian ties on Korea visit

NEW YORK (AP) — When police confronted the white man suspected of killing 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket, he was the very poster boy for armed and dangerous, carrying an AR-15-style rifle and cloaked in body armor and hatred. Yet officers talked to Payton Gendron, convinced him to put down his weapon and arrested him without firing a single shot. Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia that day cited their training and called it “a tremendous act of bravery.” In a country where Black people have been killed in encounters with police over minor traffic infractions, or no infractions at all, though, it’s raised the question: Where is that training, that determined following of protocol, when it comes to them? “It’s important to emphasize this is not about why aren’t police killing white supremacist terrorists,” said Qasim Rashid, a human rights lawyer and satellite radio host who was among those on social media making posts about the subject. “It’s why can’t that … [Read more...] about Handling of Buffalo suspect spurs talk of uneven restraint

When you think "bearer of wisdom," actor Charlie Day probably isn't the first name that comes to mind. The creator and star of the popular TV series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a professional goof but is more recently known for his work in Jason Orley's romantic comedy, I Want You Back, steaming on Amazon Prime Video. Written by co-screenwriters Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger and working with Jenny Slate, Gina Rodriguez, Scott Eastwood, and Manny Jacinto on the project, Charles Day surprised critics with his dimensional performance. Back in 2014, the Monsters University actor addressed graduates at his alma mater Merrimack College and the filmmaker had some very interesting advice for the students. While acknowledging that he's no Steve Jobs - "I don't know how my computer works; I don't even know how my toaster works!" he told the audience -- Day had some genuine lessons to Merrimack College grads nonetheless. He spoke about the time, fresh out of college when … [Read more...] about Charlie Day: Always Sunny in Philadelphia Creator Says You Shouldn’t Just ‘Do What Makes You Happy’
