Lewis Hamilton Puts Himself in Legendary Ferris Bueller's Day Off Scene
In the clip, Hamilton replaces a parking garage attendant originally played by Richard Edson. Just as in the original movie, he accepts a $5 bill from Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller to take good care of the Ferrari that belongs to the father of Alan Ruck's character, Cameron Frye. After attempting some questionable accent work, Hamilton drives away in the car and goes on a joyride. Fight Club star Edward Norton makes a cameo in the clip as the other garage attendant, who rides along for the adventure in the original film.
Hamilton says in an Instagram caption that the clip took "a lot of cutting edge tech, production and planning to get right." He also adds that he needed "the exact car," although it is unclear from his post if that car was a replica like the one originally used in the film or an actual Ferrari 250 GT California.
Lewis Hamilton's debut in a Ferrari Formula 1 car is set for this weekend at the Australian Grand Prix. The seven-time champion, 105-time race winner, and 104-time polesitter will be hoping to extend all three of those all-time records in his first season with the Scuderia.

Ferrari Just Stalled -- Why the Luxury Icon's Stock Dropped Despite Strong Profits
Ferrari's second-quarter results weren't the engine roar investors were hoping for. While revenue rose 4% year-over-year to 1.79 billion ($2 billion), the figure came in just below expectations. Operating profit edged up 6% to 709 million, slightly ahead of consensus, but not enough to shift sentiment. Shares of Ferrari (NYSE:RACE) dropped as much as 6.9% in Milan trading, giving back gains from the past two weeks. Jefferies called the top line a bit shy, and RBC had flagged that only a blowout quarter would justify a guidance raisesomething that didn't materialize. Management did offer a note of optimism, pointing to stronger confidence in full-year guidance following a new tariff deal. The agreement trims duties on European car imports to 15%, down from the Trump-era peak of 27.5%. But that still sits well above the pre-trade war baseline of 2.5%. Since all Ferraris are made in Italy, the company doesn't have the option to shift production closer to its largest market, the U.S., which accounts for roughly a quarter of deliveries. To protect its near-40% gross margin, Ferrari has already signaled price increases of up to 10% on select U.S. models. The good news? The order book remains full, cancellations are minimal, and Ferrari still commands enough brand power to potentially pass on cost hikes without losing demand. But investors are watching closely. With rivals like Lamborghini posting record plug-in hybrid deliverieseven as profits slipattention will turn to Ferrari's first fully electric vehicle debuting this October. If demand holds and margins remain intact, Ferrari could still steer through this period without hitting the brakes. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio

My Insta ‘Friends' Are Mostly Strangers Now — and As a Mom, It's Weirding Me Out
Back when my husband and I were dating, one of his good friends was seeing her — a cool girl whose name I can't quite remember. The four of us went on a handful of double dates, and she and I chatted breezily during group hangs. Eventually, she attended our wedding as a plus-one; about a year or so later, they broke up. But during that brief period when our lives overlapped, I friended her on Instagram, as you do. And though I can't imagine a reason our paths would ever cross again, I never removed her from my digital world. She's liked plenty of posts of mine over the years —unforgettable moments like my eldest son's first car ride home from the hospital; the time he rolled himself into a blanket burrito and laughed from inside, like a little maniac; his younger brother's goofy attempts at toddler yoga; and a family trip where the boys are pleasantly passed out in the backseat after hours spent running around the beach. Each moment was so special, but looking back, I'm not sure how I feel that Flowerstars333 has been along for the ride — and she's hardly alone. A quick scroll through my followers, something I almost never do, reveals dozens of acquaintances, friends of friends, co-workers from eons ago, a few more once-significant others, and people I can't quite place but surely friended for a good reason at some point in my life … right? Probably? Let's be honest: At one point or another, who didn't freely 'accept' people they met who seemed fun and nice? It all seemed pretty low risk. But it's not just my life anymore. It's my kids'. Did I do a deep clean to clear the digital party-goers of my past from my current roster? Yep. But there've been years of posts up until now — birthdays, park visits, milestones, family get-togethers — all featuring my sons, who never knew they had an audience (and didn't agree to one). Not too long ago, we didn't think about privacy nearly as much. I had a 'private' social media account, and to be honest, that seemed responsible enough. I wish I would have had the foresight to keep my circle tight, to rely on a private photo-sharing app like Tinybeans (which a number of friends of mine have used from day one). I'm a late — if regretful — convert, and I'm relieved to know exactly who's got eyes on the most important people in my life. As for Flowerstars333, it's not that I suspect she has bad intentions. Leslie (it took me a while, but I got there!) still seems lovely — and she even has a family of her own these days. But when I sit with it, I can't help but think: Who were all those other people, really? For anyone looking to share moments with those who matter most (and no one else), learn about and download the Tinybeans app here.

Justin Timberlake reveals Lyme disease diagnosis amid TikTok backlash
There's been a ton of criticism of Justin Timberlake as of late, specifically with TikTok videos of him letting audiences sing a lot of Can't Stop the Feeling! Folks are wondering why they paid a ton to see him not singing. Turns out there might be a reason why. As he revealed on Thursday on Instagram, he has Lyme disease. "Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease -— which I don't say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes," he wrote. "If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically." "I was reluctant to talk about this because I was always raised to keep something like this to yourself," he added in the post (see below). "But I am trying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren't misinterpreted." What is Lyme disease? Per the Mayo Clinic: Lyme disease is an illness caused by borrelia bacteria. Humans usually get Lyme disease from the bite of a tick carrying the bacteria. Symptoms can develop starting with a rash and lead to pain or stiffness in certain parts of the body and arthritis in joints. Which celebrities have Lyme disease? Per People, here's an incomplete list:
