Anthony Hamilton to get an official role in FIA
As reported by The Times, Anthony Hamilton has been working in an advisory capacity at the FIA over the last 18 months, but his role will become official during the FIA conference in Macau next month. There, the governing body will officially launch the FIA's Young Driver Development Pathway. The programme nurtures young drivers from the grassroots level, aiming to guide them into becoming professional race drivers.
BBC.com quoted a spokesperson as saying that Anthony Hamilton had "provided invaluable insights into an area he is very familiar with".

Anthony Hamilton mentored Lewis Hamilton from a young age and was his manager until 2010. Lewis lived with his mother until he was 12, then moved in with his father, who worked in the IT sector. His father bought him a go-kart when he was a child and worked tirelessly to support his racing ambitions.
Lewis Hamilton will be racing in a Ferrari on the team's home ground for the first time at Imola. He said it was business as usual for him to race on a track, though it may feel different once he arrives in front of the home crowd.
'Of course, when I see the Tifosi, when I see people in the crowds, it probably will become more of a realisation that they're actually looking at me this time as opposed to me out in a different car,' he said, as per Formula1.com.

Minister escapes unhurt after car collides with truck
1 2 3 Cuttack: Food supplies and consumer welfare minister Krushna Patra narrowly escaped injury when his car collided head-on with a cement mixer truck at Sandhapur Square in Cuttack district on Friday. The accident occurred around 9 am when the minister was en route to Bhubaneswar from Athagarh. The collision took place at a narrow turn on the busy Sandhapur stretch, causing significant damage to the front portion of the minister's vehicle. "Both vehicles were travelling cautiously, but the limited width of the road left little room for manoeuvering," said Niranjan Behera, an eyewitness. Cuttack DCP Khilari Rishikesh Dnyandeo said a case has been registered at Baranga police station. "We have seized the truck belonging to a local concrete mixture company and detained the driver for questioning. Appropriate legal action will be taken after verification of all evidence," he said. The incident sparked concerns about road safety in the area. "The stretch has become accident-prone due to increasing traffic and lack of road expansion. Many lives have been lost. The govt must act and broaden the road without delay," said Lokanath Behera, a resident. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Aaron Judge just ended 2017 Andrew Benintendi debate with one legendary statline
Aaron Judge just ended 2017 Andrew Benintendi debate with one legendary statline (Image via Getty) Back in 2017, a comparison was made between two of the best rookie players in baseball- Andrew Benintendi of the Boston Red Sox and Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees. At that time, one well-known columnist chose Benintendi over Judge for the future. Eight years later, the numbers and career paths show a very different picture. Aaron Judge proves 2017 critics wrong with historic rise over Andrew Benintendi On August 21, 2017, a column published in The Boston Globe favored Andrew Benintendi over Aaron Judge as the better long-term pick. The writer pointed to their head-to-head matchups that season. In their first 15 games against each other, Benintendi had better results: 4 home runs and 12 RBIs, while Judge hit just .155 with 1 home run and 2 RBIs against the Red Sox. Benintendi was thought to be a powerful all-round performer at the time. During the 2018 ALCS versus the Houston Astros, he had already made a significant contribution by making a critical catch that enabled the Red Sox to win the series and afterward the World Series. Boston had Aaron Judge five seasons before he was dealt to the Kansas City Royals in February 2021. In 2022, he was subsequently chosen to be an All-Star. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Benintendi inked a five-year, $75 million contract with the Chicago White Sox in 2023. That season turned bad, though, as the club lost 121 games. Although not quite elite, Benintendi is a good hitter with a career average of .269 as of the moment. Also Read: Aaron Judge Breaks Century-Old Unbelievable Record Beating Mantle Gehrig And Hornsby In Epic Chase Aaron Judge's rise to greatness over Andrew Benintendi Aaron Judge, meanwhile, has developed into of the most well-known players in baseball. The Yankees' captain, two-time MVP, and six-time All-Star is presently 33 years old. Breaking the American League record, he hit 62 home runs in 2022. In 2023, he had 58 home runs, 144 RBIs, and a.322 average. Leading the league in several areas, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging, and total bases, Judge is set to do so in 2025. He is on course to have the greatest slugging season since Babe Ruth as of June. Judge honestly accepted culpability and vowed to bounce back stronger even after a critical mistake in Game 5 of the 2024 World Series.
