In a hilarious video posted by Ferrari on its YouTube Channel, the two drivers took turns behind the wheel of a Ferrari F80. It started with Leclerc in the driver's seat and Hamilton in the passenger seat, both smiling.
'You're driving me?' Hamilton asked with a grin. 'Alright. Let's do it.'
As Leclerc took him for a spin, Hamilton was clearly impressed: 'This is nice. It's fast. Holy [expletive]. I've got to order one of these.'
But the tables turned quickly.

'I hate it. I hate it,' the Monegasque admitted almost instantly. As Hamilton put his foot down, Leclerc couldn't hide his discomfort. 'I've got a headache,' he confessed after the lap. 'I was trying to be nice with you. He went flat out.'

Hamilton, however, was loving every second. 'This is the fastest road car Ferrari has done,' he declared. 'I've never driven anything like that on the road. This is another level.'
By the end, Leclerc—slightly shaken—relented with a smirk: 'It was very nice… but I'm sick already.'
As the two F1 stars cooled off post-ride, Hamilton asked the only logical question: 'What colour are you getting?' Leclerc's reply? 'Full black.'
The playful exchange between teammates turned heads not just for the speed, but for the chemistry—and comedy_that Hamilton and Leclerc brought to the experience. Whether it's on the track or off, Hamilton knows how to make an entrance—and clearly, leave a lasting impression.

Jon Bernthal Lands Role in Major Marvel Film Alongside Tom Holland
Jon Bernthal is bringing the Punisher to the big screen—and this time, he's stepping into the world of Tom Holland's Spider-Man. Bernthal has officially joined the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the upcoming installment in Sony and Marvel's Spider-Man franchise. Directed by Shang-Chi filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, the movie begins filming in England this summer and is slated for release on July 31, 2026, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Plot details remain tightly guarded, but the return of Bernthal's Frank Castle hints at a darker, more street-level tone than recent Spider-Man entries. In the comics, Castle's brutal methods often put him at odds with other heroes, and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that tension may come to life as he crosses paths with Peter Parker. Bernthal first debuted as the Punisher in Netflix's Daredevil before headlining two seasons of The Punisher. He returned in Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, and Marvel has confirmed plans to expand his presence with both a second season and a stand-alone R-rated Punisher film, one that Bernthal is co-writing. The actor reportedly made it clear: if he was returning, the character's edge had to remain intact. How that uncompromising violence plays in the more family-friendly Spider-Man sandbox remains to be seen. Brand New Day also brings back Zendaya and Jacob Batalon as MJ and Ned, though their roles are still under wraps. Stranger Things star Sadie Sink joins the cast in a mystery role. The story picks up after No Way Home, where the world forgot Peter Parker's identity, giving Marvel a clean slate to rebuild. While speculation about villains runs wild, ranging from underworld bosses to symbiotes and even alternate Hulks, it's Bernthal's inclusion that changes the stakes. He and Holland share a behind-the-scenes connection, having supported each other during auditions while filming Pilgrimage in 2017. With Bernthal stepping into Spider-Man's orbit, Marvel fans can expect a collision of tone, style, and morality. Whether Castle is an ally, obstacle, or something in between, one thing is certain: Spider-Man's next chapter just got a lot more Bernthal Lands Role in Major Marvel Film Alongside Tom Holland first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 21, 2025

Shane Van Gisbergen Takes Jab at Red Bull Over Liam Lawson Demotion
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASCAR driver Shane van Gisbergen made a joke about Red Bull Racing's brutal driver handlings. Gisbergen got his maiden win in Mexico over the past weekend after struggling in his first full-time NASCAR Cup Series season. He only made the top ten once in the first 15 races. He struggled to adapt to the ovals that feature so prominently in the American racing series. Shane Van Gisbergen, driver of the #88 Safety Culture Chevrolet, celebrates after winning the NASCAR Cup Series Viva Mexico 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 15, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Photo byGisbergen - a New Zealander sponsored by Red Bull - started in pole position in the Mexico City Cup Series race. His win was anything but smooth; he battled shifting conditions due to the inconsistent rain and a never-ending series of caution flags. Despite all of the challenges, Gisbergen managed to pull off the win, staying calm, cool, and collected throughout the race. After his landmark win, he thanked Trackhouse Racing for their continued support of him despite his struggles. He made a cheeky remark about the support he received during his downturn in form, comparing it to what Red Bull offered fellow New Zealander Liam Lawson. "I'm glad I didn't drive for Red Bull F1 after how the first few rounds went," van Gisbergen joked after the race. "[Team boss] Justin [Marks] has been amazing, supporting me and just giving me all the time I need and not putting pressure on [me]. It's been really cool." Red Bull's F1 team decided to axe Lawson after only two races, a drastic decision that followed a series of underwhelming results. When Lawson made an Instagram post back in March about his removal from Red Bull, van Gisbergen left a message under the post saying, "Prove em Wrong!" The 36-year-old New Zealander mentored his fellow countryman and backed Lawson through different racing series. While trying to make it in America, van Gisbergen still monitored Lawson's progress. "The way he's gotten to F1 has been a little difficult the last couple of years. But seeing him get this opportunity full-time now, I'm just stoked and so proud," he said back in December. "You've got to be versatile, which is something I've always tried to do by driving a bunch of different cars. It helps you when it comes to something new in the setup, something technical, or even with the weather changing. You've got to be able to adapt straight away. "Liam's been exceptional at that. Even when F1 wasn't working out, he did DTM and other racing that I think has really helped him."
