The latest addition to the Formula 1 calendar had already sparked plenty of discussion in the paddock before the weekend. Most of the conversations centred on safety and whether the track around the IFEMA complex would actually prove to be a 'car killer', as several teams feared after the rather chaotic F3 test.
Another aspect that attracted plenty of interest was La Monumental, Turn 12 of the new circuit. It is the corner with 13.5 degrees of banking, which equates to an incline of around 24%.
This is less than the final corner at Zandvoort – the Arie Luyendyk corner has 18 degrees of banking – but despite that, Pirelli describes La Monumental as the toughest corner on the entire F1 calendar for the tyres.
"Basically the peak of the vertical energy is not higher than in other corners that we have in the calendar, like in Qatar, the banking in Zandvoort, et cetera. It's more about the time you are under load and the continuous load that you have," Pirelli's chief engineer Simone Berra explained.
"So basically instead of two or three seconds, you have 5.5 seconds under those loads. So you have double the duty cycle in that area. That is the main thing to keep in mind and what we are considering in our calculations."

Legal representatives from Samsung are seeking the dismissal of Dua Lipa's $15 million lawsuit over the unauthorized use of her image on a product box. In a new Thursday filing obtained by Rolling Stone, the company argues that the singer does not have grounds to sue because there's "nothing suggesting plaintiff endorses the televisions."
"The images merely depict the televisions' on-screen interface, illustrating the applications and … an example of content available on the TV," lawyers for Samsung said. The relevant products contain a photo of Lipa on boxes for televisions featuring Samsung TV Plus, where the singer is used to promote the Xite Hits channel. Other logos that appear on the product include MLB, Fox Sports, and the crime series The First 48.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. (AP) — Kamden Sixkiller threw for 330 yards and two touchdowns, Spencer Jones had a career-high 126 yards receiving and a score, and Campbell beat Western Carolina 28-19 on Sunday in a game postponed due to weather.
Campbell is off to its first 2-0 start since 2018 after securing the program's second victory over an FCS top 25 opponent. WCU entered ranked No. 24 in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 poll after beating Eastern Kentucky on Aug. 29.

Sixkiller also found Ambrose for a 6-yard TD to cap a 10-play, 91-yard drive to start the game, and Sixkiller scored on an 8-yard run for a 14-0 lead.
Sixkiller finished 29-of-44 passing with three interceptions for Campbell. JJ Cowan had a team-high 83 yards on the ground. The Camels posted 528 yards of total offense for their second straight game with 500-plus.
Lex Thomas was 25-of-44 passing for 326 yards and two touchdowns for Western Carolina (1-1). Both of Jai Boyd's catches were for touchdowns.

Karmelo Anthony's family is seeking another $250,000 to fund his appeal after an earlier campaign raised nearly $634,000 and faced questions over how the money was spent, the family announced at a news conference in Dallas, Texas.
The fundraising push came nearly two weeks after a judge denied Anthony's request for a new trial. His family and supporters, including attorney Russell Wilson, used the Dallas news conference to outline the appeal.
Anthony, 19, was sentenced to 35 years in prison in June after a jury convicted him of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas. He has appealed and says he cannot afford to hire an attorney for the appeal.
Another Lawyer Joins Karmelo Anthony's Appeal As Killer Claims He Cannot Pay For Counsel
The new fund is intended to cover legal fees, experts and other costs ******* ociated with challenging Anthony's conviction, Wilson said.

Golf legend Tiger Woods was arrested in March for yet another vehicular accident. Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test and showed signs of impairment during the ordeal.
Officers found two painkiller pills in his pocket, and he told deputies he had taken "a few" prescription medications earlier that day. Later, Woods pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and refusal to submit to testing.
Recently, Woods announced he planned to change his not guilty plea, according to court documents filed Tuesday. Woods was scheduled to appear in court on September 8th but is now expected on Wednesday morning for a plea conference.
The golf legend has been involved in a few other crashes over the years, all of which have stunted his illustrious career. In 2021, he survived a crash in Los Angeles so severe that doctors considered amputating his leg. Woods was not charged with any crimes as authorities determined the crash was caused by excessive speed and not impairment. On the other hand, in 2009, Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree outside of his residence around 2:00 a.m. Police suspected Woods was under the influence or impaired by medication, but no actual charges followed.
Woods has had to bow out of golf due to several back surgeries and lower-body injuries that have affected his mobility. As a result, Woods has battled with prescribed substance dependency. As of June, he formally stepped away from the game and traveled outside of the United States to seek treatment at an inpatient treatment facility.

Bolton head coach Steven Schumacher told BBC Radio Manchester:
"Saturday was a tough one to take but that was even worse because we were away from home against a top team with top players, with a lot who have played in the Premier League.
"We're disappointed to lose the game, certainly in that manner because the goals we conceded were at really bad times, having just taken the lead, and then to concede one in the last minute when we've dominated the second half is an absolute killer.
"I told the players it's an absolute must that we get out of the dressing room with our heads held high because we can compete at this level if we play the way we did, but we have to learn quick."

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is warning that subpoenas are on the table if county prosecutors accused of going easy on illegal immigrants who commit crimes do not cooperate.
Jordan's committee is investigating district attorneys for so-called "sanctuary jurisdictions" who have been accused of taking immigration status into account when pursuing criminal complaints, even when the alleged crime has nothing to do with the suspect's legal status.
"If we have to, we'll use subpoenas to get the documents that we think they may not be giving us. There's a process we always go through. We ask for things, we ask again, we explain why, we work with their office — in some cases their counsel — and back and forth," Jordan explained in an interview with Fox News Digital. "And then if we have to use subpoenas, we certainly will do that ... but we want to know the facts."
Doj Opens Investigation Into Soros-backed Da Accused Of Shielding Illegal Immigrants From Consequences
Of particular concern, Jordan said, is Fairfax County, Virginia, DA Steve Descano. Descano was recently thrust under scrutiny after the stabbing death of 41-year-old U.S. citizen Stephanie Minter, whose accused killer came to the U.S. illegally from Sierra Leone in 2012.

CHICAGO (AP) — A beluga whale died days after it was transported hundreds of miles to a Chicago aquarium from a shuttered Ontario park as part of an ongoing effort to rescue Canada's last captive whales.
The whale, a 23-year-old female named Peekachu, died suddenly Tuesday as caretakers tried to rehydrate her, Chicago's Shedd Aquarium said in a news release. Peekachu was one of eight whales moved from Marineland park in Ontario to the Chicago aquarium this summer — four in July, and four more this month.
Marineland shut its doors in 2024, kicking off a race to find new homes for its 30 beluga whales and four dolphins before they would be euthanized. The Canadian government finally approved a plan to export the whales to the Shedd Aquarium and four other marine parks in January.
Twenty whales — 19 belugas and one killer whale — have died at Marineland since 2019, according to provincial government data obtained through freedom-of-information laws and official statements.
The complex operation to bring the whales to the Shedd Aquarium saw them hoisted in custom-made slings and held in temperature-controlled containers, aquarium officials previously told The ****** ociated Press. Their behavior and health were carefully monitored to the minute once they arrived, officials said.

Robert De Niro reflects on the challenges of balancing fatherhood with his demanding acting career
The Oscar winner, 83, is a father of seven, including his youngest daughter, Gia, who he welcomed in 2023 with girlfriend Tiffany Chen
De Niro stars in Netflix's The Whisper Man, a thriller exploring fatherhood and the search for a kidnapped child
Robert De Niro is opening up about the struggles of balancing a demanding career and fatherhood.
The two-time Oscar winner, 83, stars in the new Netflix movie, The Whisper Man, as the estranged father of Adam Scott's character, whose son is kidnapped. Though the movie is a thriller set around capturing a serial killer at large, it explores themes of fatherhood and fathers doing their best at its core — something De Niro is no stranger to.

Since his DUI arrest in March, golf legend Tiger Woods has largely remained out of the public spotlight. He was involved in a rollover crash in South Florida while allegedly driving under the influence, with opioid tablets in his pocket after the crash.
Woods went to rehab in Switzerland following his arrest, before returning in May.
The 50-year-old Woods has rarely been seen since returning to the United States, but this week he made an appearance in a pre-recorded video for former pro golfer Notah Begay during the Payne Stewart Award ceremony.
Once the video surfaced online thanks to the Golf Channel, some fans expressed concern about his appearance, while others were happy to see the icon back in the spotlight. One user wrote, "Tiger looks a shell of his former self sadly," while another, "He looks normal. Off the steroids and painkillers hopefully."

Megyn Kelly isn't buying the insanity defense at the center of Lindsay Clancy's ongoing murder trial.
Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8, at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home. If convicted, she faces life in prison without parole.
Court TV
On the Tuesday, August 25, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly, 55, argued that Clancy's case does not meet the legal standard for insanity. To make her point, she compared Clancy to Jeffrey Dahmer, the notorious serial killer who killed 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Dahmer pleaded guilty but insane to 15 murders in Wisconsin, but a jury found him legally sane in 1992, despite testimony about his mental and personality disorders, Live5News reported. He was killed in prison in 1994, at age 34.
"If anybody would ever meet the definition of legally insane, it should be somebody like a Jeffrey Dahmer," Kelly said on the podcast. "A jury rejected the insanity defense of Jeffrey Dahmer. I'm sorry, but Lindsay Clancy is far closer to sane than Jeffrey Dahmer was, but she's trying the same defense."

Several months after recounting the harrowing details of her abduction in a Netflix documentary, Elizabeth Smart has launched a podcast to give survivors of violent crimes a chance to tell their own stories.
In "The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart," which launched on Aug. 17, Smart provides a platform for survivors to open up about what they endured, the aftermath and the continual healing process, as The New York Times reported.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to help share these stories and introduce you to the people behind them," Smart said in a Facebook post announcing the podcast.
The first episode features an interview with Kara Robinson Chamberlain, who escaped from a serial killer when she was 15 years old.
In a brief clip from the podcast shared on social media, Robinson recounts the moment she was being kidnapped and how she asked the kidnapper what he was doing.

Belal Muhammad agrees with Dana White that Ian Machado Garry lacked killer instinct at UFC 330.
Machado Garry (17-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) was criticized by the UFC boss for being too friendly in his ***** le loss to welterweight champion Islam Makhachev (29-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) in Saturday's main event at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. With one judge having the fight tied at two rounds a piece heading into Round 5, Muhammad expected Machado Garry to go for it more.
"What's with this hugging? You're down in the fifth round. You've got to have the killer instinct," Muhammad said on his YouTube channel. "You've got to for it. His face wasn't beat up. It was an Adesanya vs. Gastelum war where you're like, 'Let's do it.' You were losing. Mindset-wise, he needs to flip the switch. His mindset was we didn't get tapped, we got up from a couple of takedowns, those are wins for him, and he has to change that. Stock-wise, he's going to learn from it. He's going to get better from it, but this game is unforgiving.
"You go against Morales next. You get one-punched and get knocked out. That head kick that Islam landed on you in the second round, if it knocked you out, it changes everything else. You can't waste an opportunity. You can't waste a moment, and I felt like he definitely wasted moments there. The one sequence that I was like Islam has this fight – obviously when it came to the fifth round, and he took the back, I was like, 'Oh, it's over.' When he had the body triangle in, I knew he wasn't going to get out of that situation. For Islam, that was his checkmate moment."
Machado Garry earned his ***** le shot by defeating former welterweight champion Muhammad by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 265.

With one judge having the fight tied at two rounds a piece heading into Round 5, Muhammad expected Machado Garry to go for it more.
"What's with this hugging? You're down in the fifth round. You've got to have the killer instinct," Muhammad said on his YouTube channel. "You've got to for it. His face wasn't beat up. It was an Adesanya vs. Gastelum war where you're like, 'Let's do it.' You were losing. Mindset-wise, he needs to flip the switch. His mindset was we didn't get tapped, we got up from a couple of takedowns, those are wins for him, and he has to change that. Stock-wise, he's going to learn from it. He's going to get better from it, but this game is unforgiving.
"You go against Morales next. You get one-punched and get knocked out. That head kick that Islam landed on you in the second round, if it knocked you out, it changes everything else. You can't waste an opportunity. You can't waste a moment, and I felt like he definitely wasted moments there. The one sequence that I was like Islam has this fight – obviously when it came to the fifth round, and he took the back, I was like, 'Oh, it's over.' When he had the body triangle in, I knew he wasn't going to get out of that situation. For Islam, that was his checkmate moment."
Machado Garry earned his ***** le shot by defeating former welterweight champion Muhammad by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 265.

Former child star Hayden Panettiere has died at 36. While the actor is perhaps best known for her roles in TV series like Heroes, where she played an indestructible cheerleader, and Nashville, where she portrayed a rising country star, to horror fans, she'll forever be known as one of the Scream franchise's most iconic final girls, Kirby Reed.
Scream 4 marked Panettiere's first appearance in the film franchise. Her character was a cool Woodsboro High School student who sported a pixie cut and could rattle off horror film trivia. Her passion for horror was central to the movie's final act, in which her character is caught by Ghostface and forced to play one of his twisted games. Ultimately, she is stabbed by one of the Ghostface killers and left for dead.
Kirby's fate was never revealed in that movie, and fans always hoped that she would return to the franchise in a sequel. In 2022, the long-anticipated Scream premiered as both a sequel and a reboot of the franchise, but Panettiere did not appear in the film. Her fate was revealed through an Easter egg in the movie, when a character is looking at a YouTube page and an interview with Kirby, a survivor of the Woodsboro stabbing, appears.

"We wanted to answer the Kirby question in some way from the beginning," co-director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin told Nerdist in 2022. "We just didn't really know what that would be. There was a period during the pre-production where we thought we might be able to even get her in this movie. We had a zoom with her and she was lovely. And she was like, 'I love Kirby, I'd love to be in it.'"

Ian Machado Garry proclaimed that it was his "destiny" to defeat Islam Makhachev at UFC 330 and become the new welterweight champion. Reality, however, proved otherwise.
Machado Garry (17-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) gave a solid account of himself in a unanimous decision loss to Makhachev (29-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) on Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Victory was not out of his reach, he just didn't have the start he needed or produce enough effective offense to capitalize on what felt like a winnable scenario for him.
It will be a tough pill for Machado Garry to swallow once he watches the fight back and sees that he could've made this result even closer than it was, but there should also be a high degree of confidence he will take it the right way and grow. His comments in the immediate aftermath of the fight showed he didn't lose an ounce of confidence in himself, and that should carry him to a better place going forward.
Machado Garry is entirely accurate when he notes he's only 28, and could easily have another decade of high-level competition ahead of him. There is a solid chance he finds himself back in a ***** le fight one day, it's just a question of how long that will take.
It's no guarantee, though, because the welterweight division is as good as it gets, and it's entirely possible he can't get past the next killer that will undoubtedly be standing across the octagon from him next time out, and be set back even further. He's in the range of the weight class now where zero easy fights are coming his way.

CHICAGO (AP) — Four more belugas have arrived at a Chicago aquarium as part of a plan to move Canada's last remaining captive whales from a shuttered theme park to aquariums in the United States and Spain.
The four whales, named Caspian, Peekachu, Rain and Secord, were the second group of belugas sent to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium from Marineland, in Ontario near Niagara Falls, after an initial four arrived in July.
They are among a total of 30 whales and four dolphins that will be transported from Marineland after the Canadian government approved of the rescue plan, which might have saved them from mass euthanasia.
Marineland announced in early 2023 that it was for sale and closed to the public in late summer 2024. Twenty whales — 19 belugas and one killer whale — have died at Marineland since 2019, according to provincial government data obtained through freedom-of-information laws and official statements.
As part of the rescue efforts, the whales have been making their international trips in custom-built slings and temperature-controlled transport containers. A team of experts flew to Canada to meet the whales' previous caretakers months prior and pored over years of their health records in preparation for the trip.

PHILADELPHIA – Ian Machado Garry's respectful and friendly attitude at UFC 330 didn't sit well with UFC CEO Dana White.
This past Saturday, in the main event of UFC 330, Machado Garry (17-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) fell short of dethroning UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev. The Irishman lost a unanimous decision to Makhachev (29-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) in a competitive bout that saw Machado Garry come up late in the fight.
White thinks the fight could've gone much differently if Machado Garry dropped his friendly and respectful gestures, as he was hugging and shaking hands with the champion throughout the ***** le bout.
"I think that this is my honest opinion on it; I felt like tonight was set up for the upset," White said at the UFC 330 post-fight interview. "I felt like the upset could happen tonight with so much on the line, all the records that Islam has, and he's going to break Anderson Silva's record. There's weight classes for a reason. Ian Gary is a big, rangy, strong guy who has great takedown defense. I mean, if you look at his takedown defense tonight against Islam, it was impressive. I felt like, I think that Ian is a talented guy. If he had even an ounce of killer instinct in that fifth round, he had been beating him to the body. Islam's whole, I think, right side was beat up. His face was beat up. You don't come out and hug and shake hands. That sh*t drives me ***** crazy when there's so much at stake.
"There's also a lot of mental gamesmanship, whatever you want to call it, in this game. You come out in that fifth round with a flying knee or something crazy, and you try to finish the fight. I think that this is one of those fights that Ian will go back and watch and say, 'F*ck, I wish I could do that over again.'"

After a night that included an eye poke, an illegal knee and the general mayhem of a UFC event, Dana White was irritated.
The source of his frustration: In the UFC 330 main event, as the fifth and final round ensued, Ian Machado Garry high-fived reigning welterweight champion Islam Makhachev.
"I think that Ian is a talented guy," White, the UFC's CEO, said at the post-fight press conference. "I think if he had even an ounce of killer instinct, in that fifth round, you know he'd been beating (Makhachev) to the body.
"Islam's whole right side was beat up, his face was beat up. You don't come out and hug and shake hands. That (expletive) drives me (expletive) crazy."

The 68-year-old was executed by lethal injection July 28 for the rape and murder of 11-year-old Teresa McAbee while on duty as a cop for the Mascotte Police Department.
McAbee's family attended his execution at the Florida State Prison in Raiford.
They were joined by family and friends of 14-year-old Jeanifer Weldon. Authorities believe she also was killed by Duckett four months after he murdered McAbee.

Ian Garry had a pretty good showing, but ultimately lost a decision at UFC 330 against Islam Makhachev, who has been breaking records across two divisions. Garry had his moments on the feet, and showed excellent takedown defense and reversals on the ground, but Dana White felt it was the challenger's mindset that could've cost him the fight.
"This is my honest opinion. I felt like tonight was set up for the upset," White said at the UFC 330 post-fight press conference. "Ian is a talented guy, if he had even an ounce of killer instinct — in that fifth round he was beating him to the body. Islam's whole right side was beat up. His face was beat up. You don't come out and hug and shake hands. F— that ***** drives me crazy!
"This is one of those fights that Ian will go back and say 'f—k, I wish I could do that over again.' If he came out and tried to destroy and win that last round with everything he had, it's a totally different fight."
Garry remained cordial with Makhachev throughout the build up and even during the fight itself, where he offered high fives, fist ***** ps, and friendly pats on every break. White criticized this approach while Garry was trying to upset one of the all-time greats.
"I think Ian is a classy guy, is what I think. He always shows class, before the fight he goes over and shakes all their corners' hands. It's great, but when that f—ng bell rings, you've got to switch all that off and go," White exlaimed. "You definitely got to do it in the fifth round.

If you're a Royals fan of a certain age, the phrase "Lima Time!" will mean something to you. In 2003, the Royals were surprise contenders after getting off to an incredibly hot start. But they needed starting pitching help due to injury and ineffectiveness. Enter José Lima.
Lima was an interesting case; he'd been a 20-game winner as recently as 1999 for the Houston Astros. But he'd also been cut by the Detroit Tigers in 2002 after pitching to a 7.77 ERA in 68.1 innings both as a starter and a reliever. To open the 2003 season, he was pitching in the Independent Atlanta League. His first start for the Royals that year saw him allow 4 runs in 6 innings and take a no-decision with the Royals rallied with two runs in the ninth off of Giants closer Tim Worrell. From then on, it was Lima Time! Lima won 7 straight starts while pitching to a ridiculous 1.65 ERA. I was young and cut off from other Royals fans at the time, but I remember thinking the Royals had found a true ace that would lead them for years to come. With the benefit of hindsight and more advanced ***** ytics than pitcher wins, I can see now that the 3.4% K-BB% he had over that span pointed to oncoming problems. Lima went 1-3 over his final 6 starts with a 10.65 ERA. Sadly, Lima time was not to last.
Why do I bring all this up? Randy Dobnak reminds me a lot of José. I'm older and wiser now, so I can see past the shiny 2.00 ERA to the remarkably similar 3.3% K-BB%. Still, given that the Royals aren't competing for a playoff spot as they were when Lima was around, it's safe to just enjoy the ride of Dobnak time for as long as we can. Maybe it will even last until the end of the season! Hopefully, it lasts at least one more start, tonight.
The Angels will have Reid Detmers on the mound. Reid was considered the 47th-best prospect in MLB when he graduated from the list in 2022. He has a killer curveball and he has shown occasional flashes of brilliance, but he's never been able to fully put things together. He does have a 3.99 ERA going back to the start of last year, and he's been worth 3.0 fWAR this year, but he has been very up-and-down this season and is definitely not the true ace the Angels would like him to be, despite the ridiculous 14-strikeout, 1-hit, 0-walk outing he had against Texas earlier this season.
Unfortunately for the Royals, Detmers is in one of those up spans right this moment. He has a 2.39 ERA while striking out 33 and walking only 8 in his last 5 starts covering 26.1 innings. He's also gone 0-2 over that span because the Angels' offense has been… lackluster.

Charles Johnson turned in one of the rarest submissions in UFC history earlier tonight (Sat., Aug. 15, 2026) at UFC 330 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Penn., as the flyweight veteran spoiled Eduardo Chapolin's Octagon debut with a third-round Scottish twister.
This is only the second Scottish twister in UFC history. The first occurred earlier this year at UFC Vegas 119 courtesy of Murtazali Magomedov (watch it HERE).
Johnson, who was originally expected to fight Jose Ochoa before the latter pulled out, had no issue accepting Chapolin on short notice. Oddsmakers had the flyweight bout almost even, but most expected Chapolin to deliver a memorable UFC debut. Unfortunately for Chapolin, Johnson once again proved he's one of the toughest outs in the division and a true prospect killer Remember, "Inner G" has knockout wins over the likes of Joshua Van and Lone'er Kavanagh.
The fight was an entertaining back-and-forth offering both striking and grappling. Chapolin was deducted a point in the first round for an illegal knee and eye poke, but they weren't enough to stop Johnson from continuing the fight. Good thing he did because Johnson was able to drag Chapolin to deep water and take his back early into the third round. Chapolin dropped to the canvas and during the transition Johnson was able to lock up the twister and force the stoppage. It was sensational.
Check out the video highlights below:

Kaia Gerber has her dinner-date style down. The model-turned-actor, who recently starred in the 1980s-based serial-killer drama The Shards, shed her character's neon colors and voluminous hair for a low-key night out with her boyfriend, Lewis Pullman.
EVGA - BACKGRID
The two kept things classic and timeless for the outing. Gerber, who has long been known to love a little black dress and her Repetto ballerinas, layered a long trench coat over a sleeveless midi. Her go-to ballet flats, which she designed in collaboration with the label, offered a soft suede feel and a slight subtle lift. She draped a chocolate-brown sweater over her shoulders, added some sunglasses, and finished things off with a pop of color, thanks to her cobalt-blue Chanel shoulder bag.
Next to her, Pullman matched his girlfriend's blues with his jacket and T-shirt. He styled them both with white jeans and a baseball cap, and grabbed her hand as they made their way to the Los Angeles restaurant.
