The new regulations put in place at the start of the season have reintroduced ground-effect cars to F1 which ride much lower to the floor to improve performance. The new generation of cars could be considerably hindered by the aggressive kerbs at the circuit. Xevi Pujolar, Alfa Romeo’s head of trackside engineering, feels drivers need to be wary of this going into the race weekend. In the opening three races, cars have been able to drive on the kerbs and have even been encouraged to do so....

This isn’t the first time Hamilton has felt he’s been an unfair target for the FIA, however, having said that ’they’re trying to stop him’ in the past. The 37-year-old was chasing a possible 91st Grand Prix win to equal Michael Schumacher’s record when he arrived at the Sochi Autodrome for the 2020 Russian Grand Prix. Hamilton’s race, however, did not get off to a good start after he was handed two five-second time penalties for practicing starts in a non-designated area....

Leaving it until the final lap of the session, Sainz stormed around a blustery Circuit of the Americas track to claim his second pole position of the season. Back-to-back championship winner Max Verstappen could only manage P3 in qualifying, though with Leclerc taking a 10-place penalty after changing his engine on Friday, the Dutchman will line up on the front row alongside Sainz. The top five on the grid for race day will be rounded out by Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and George Russell in P3 and P4, whilst Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll, who massively impressed in Austin throughout qualifying, will start from P5....

The Group B clash between Russia and England in Marseille on Friday witnessed extensive violence between both sets of fans before and after the match. The violence left at least 35 people injured – most of them English – including a 50-year-old Englishman who is battling for his life in a hospital.

Two Cesc Fabregas penalties, four years apart, tell the story of Spain’s recent history in the European Championship. In 2008, in Vienna, it was Fabregas’ spot-kick in a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win over world champions Italy that convinced Spain they were finally capable of beating Europe’s leading teams. One week later, they beat Germany to claim their first major honour in 44 years and in just over two years, they were world champions....

Despite many smartphone makers rolling out their unique algorithms, facial recognition security might not be an all-around haven after all. But why does Face ID sometimes fail?

Like last year’s model, the 2019 Facebook Portal is a 10-inch HD smart display. The Portal Mini is a similar proposition but features a smaller 8-inch HD screen, with both devices adopting a stripped back ‘picture frame’ design intended to help them better blend into their surroundings. As with the 2018 Portals, the duo are very much focused on home video calling, sporting an AI-powered camera capable of tracking your movements so you’re less likely to veer off-screen when connected....

The global feature is “To ensure people have the context they need to make informed decisions about what to share on Facebook”, VP Feed and Stories John Hegeman said in a blog post. At a remarkable time for the world with the coronavirus pandemic and the undeniable police brutality in the United States and other countries, it’s more important than ever that news shared is recent and contextually sound. Facebook is hoping that this small notification might stop people spreading old and out of context news....

The American-licensed team will now bring in experienced driver Nico Hulkenberg - who has already amassed 181 Grand Prix starts - to partner with Kevin Magnussen. This news follows Williams’ decision to have rookie Logan Sargeant drive alongside Alex Albon for the 2023 season. The move is still subject to the young American gaining enough Super License points during the remainder of the F2 season. In order to boost that, Williams have also announced that he’ll partake in one more FP1 session before the season’s end....

The tournament involves teams from the 10th level of the English football pyramid to the top and will see a total of 736 teams take part.

Original story follows: A doctored news clip shared to social media by president Donald Trump remains active and unlabeled on Facebook today, after rival platform Twitter slapped the content with a warning telling users the video was “manipulated media.” Posting to millions of followers on Thursday across both social networks, Trump pushed out a fake CNN segment with a mis-spelled banner reading: “Terrified todler runs from racist baby.” It changes to say: “Racist baby probably a Trump voter....

The iOS and Android Messenger apps will let those in video calls and using the Messenger Rooms mode share their phone or tablet screens with others on the call. Screen share has long been a feature of business video calling software, and Facebook seems to have leaned into the idea that in this time of pandemic people will want to share things more regularly when not in person. “We know people are trying to stay connected more than ever,” said Nora Micheva, Product Manager in a blog post....
