Serena Williams found herself in the midst of drama and controversy within the Formula One arena after her recent remark about Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion was responding to comments made by Mercedes boss Toto Wolff. Ahead of last weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Mercedes team principal spoke candidly to Pa news agency when evaluating Lewis Hamilton's chances of winning a record-breaking eighth championship.
Wolff asserted that he was fuelled by "personal anger" to help the British driver achieve this historic milestone that eluded him back in 2021 in quite dubious circumstances. Hamilton has won seven world championships on the race track (level with Michael Schumacher for the most titles).
"We are living in a hamster wheel where time passes so quickly that it doesn’t feel like it has been two years. You can see how quickly the pecking order changes. But, we have to look forward,...

The editor of a German magazine that ran an “interview” with former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher – including quotes generated by artificial intelligence – has been sacked.
The publishers of Die Aktuelle, a weekly magazine owned by Funke media group – have also apologised to Schumacher’s family, who said this week they planned legal action.
Funke managing director Bianca Pohlmann announced: “This tasteless and misleading article should never have appeared. It in no way meets the standards of journalism that we and our readers expect from a publisher like Funke.
“As a result of the publication of this article, immediate personnel consequences will be drawn. Die Aktuelle editor-in-chief Anne Hoffmann, who has held journalistic responsibility for the paper since 2009, will be relieved of her duties as of today.”
The magazine ran a front cover of Schumacher, with a headline that read, “Michael Schumacher, the first interview.” The strapline added: “it sounded deceptively real.

Mexico City, Oct 31 (Ians) Dutch Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen has expressed his surprise at winning a record 14 races in a year and eclipsing the feats of Germany’s Michael Schumacher (2004) and Sebastian Vettel (2013), who have 13 race wins in a year.
Verstappen made history as he beat Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton to claim his 14th victory of the 2022 season at the Mexican Grand Prix after an intriguing strategic battle at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez here on Sunday.
The Red Bull driver said he was “incredibly proud” to achieve the feat.

This year, Netflix grabbed a whopping 35 Oscar nominations for its slate of original movies, including 10 nominations for David Fincher’s “Mank,” six nominations for Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” and five nominations for the August Wilson adaptation “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” which featured the final performance from star and Best Actor nominee Chadwick Boseman. The total number of nominations for the streaming service ranked among the most ever by a single studio and dwarfed the Netflix tally in 2020 when the platform grabbed 24 nominations to lead all distributors.
But judging merely by quantity, 2021 could become the biggest year yet for Netflix. Over the final four months of the year, the studio will debut more than 40 titles, including new movies from past Oscar favorites like Adam McKay, Jane Campion, and Paolo Sorrentino as well as buzzy features from first-time filmmakers such as Lin-Manuel Miranda and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

The Cannes Film Festival competition began today with the premiere of Jim Jarmusch’s “The Dead Don’t Die,” but top North American distributors can’t afford to be distracted. They serve a market in which only the most carefully calibrated selections will thrive — and those who hesitate will almost certainly lose to the streaming buyers. With some of the best stuff already bought, theatrical distributors are forced to to look toward films that have yet to be shot.
Before the festival, HBO Sports scooped up “Diego Maradona,” British documentarian Asif Kapadia’s follow-up to Oscar-winning Cannes hit “Amy.” And after a 20-year symbiotic relationship, Spc acquired Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar’s “Pain & Glory” at the script stage two years ago, which now looks like an early contender for top prizes. Spc now has rights to all his films, and will book repertory Almodovar tributes in many cities around the film’s October opening.

Film project is based on an unpublished memoir written by Roots.
Fred Films and Powder Keg Pictures, the producers behind recent UK box office hit Fisherman’s Friends, are working on a feature about Jamaica-born musician, chef and businessman Levi Roots.
Roots emigrated to London at the age of 11, unable to read or write, and went on to become a successful Reggae artist until his music career was cut short after he was sentenced to nine years in prison for drug offences.
While serving his time, Roots came up with the idea for creating ’Reggae Reggae Sauce’, inspired by his Grandmother’s Caribbean cooking.

Conor McGregor was the second most searched sporting personality in Ireland (based on Google search queries), second only to Michael Schumacher, and the highest ranked Irish athlete in 2014. Huge stateside as well, he’s the biggest in-house star the Ufc has developed in years (as opposed to Brock Lesnar coming from the WWE or Ronda Rousey from Strikeforce). Despite his popularity and success in the octagon, however, he failed to receive a nomination at national broadcaster Rte’s year end awards.
Regardless of the lack of a nomination, many expected him to still turn up at the awards show, especially since he has a deal with Rte for a six-part mini-series chronicling his rise to the top of the sport. However, McGregor opted to skip the event, and released a typically ‘Notorious’ statement explaining why:

The iconic racing driver has been moved to a private physical rehabilitation center.
Legendary Formula One racing driver Michael Schumacher has reportedly come out of his months-long coma and has left the hospital, according to BBC News.
Schumacher, 45, suffered a serious head injury in December 2013 while skiing in the French Alps, and has spent the last five months in a medically-induced coma. Doctors kept him in a coma to reduce brain swelling, which would have led to irreparable damage.
Schumacher has been moved from the hospital's intensive care unit to a private rehabilitation center for the beginning of what it likely to be a very long road to recovery.
"For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye," said Sabine Kehm, Schumacher's manager, in a press statement. The location of Schumacher's private rehabilitation center has not been disclosed.

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup about to get underway, Digital Spy takes a look at a handful of actors who've made it to the big screen.
1. Pelé (Escape to Victory)
Arguably the greatest footballer of all time, Pelé lined up alongside fellow icons Bobby More and Ossie Ardiles (and a host of Ipswich Town greats!) in this inspiring blend of Great Escape-style war flick and underdog sports story.
A firm Bank Holiday favourite, Escape to Victory also boasts a starting eleven containing Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone. They don't make them like this anymore.
2. Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels)
After retiring from the beautiful game, Wimbledon hardman Vinnie Jones established a second career for himself.

This F1 history finds its narrative impetus in the trade-off between crowdpleasing speed and concern for driver survival
Any moto documentary that sets its down-the-nose-cone footage of the Monaco Gp to Focus's 1971 instrumental Hocus Pocus can be fairly confident of shifting DVDs as Father's Day approaches, but Paul Crowder's often surprisingly critical F1 history identifies its true narrative drive in the trade-off between crowdpleasing speed and concern for driver survival. Smartly marshalled archive footage finds the sweet spot between gawping at carnage and contextualising it within the sport's painful evolution; the thrills of well-timed overtaking manoeuvres are set against the horror of men being roasted alive. Eventually, 1: Life on the Limit must arrive at Senna, San Marino, and the moment when, after decades of (crucially, untelevised) destruction, racing was forced to lift its visor and take a hard look at itself – yet Crowder's film is now equally...

Michael Schumacher, a retired Formula One Driver, is in critical condition following a skiing accident this past weekend.

Schumacher, 44, was placed into a medically-induced coma Monday after he fell and hit the right side of his head on a rock while skiing with his son Mick, 14. The injury occurred on Sunday morning at Meribel Resort in the French Alps.
Schumacher’s helmet helped him from being immediately killed. “His helmet did of course protect him at least partly,” said Jean-Francois Payen, the head anesthetician at Chu hospital. “Someone who had suffered a similar accident without a helmet would not have made it [to the hospital].”
Schumacher was conscious while en route to the hospital, but his condition worsened quickly and he was taken in for brain surgery when scans revealed internal bleeding and contusions. “We cannot predict the future for Michael Schumacher,” said Payen. “He is in a critical...
