YouTuber's Lamborghini Huracan Crashes, Injuring Two
An allegedly speeding Lamborghini Huracan owned by popular YouTuber Mridul Tiwari crashed in Noida, India on March 30, injuring two day laborers. Now people want answers as many in India feel outraged that the flagrant abuse of wealth and power could have killed someone.According to a report published on NDTV, Mridul Tiwari wasn't behind the wheel of the supercar at the time. Instead, an individual named Deepak was taking it for a test drive. We guess that means Tiwari was interested in selling the Lambo.
Now the Italian supercar is a wreck and it's in the middle of a growing legal fiasco, not to mention a public relations nightmare. No matter how you cut it, Tiwari has a tarnished image, simply because it was his vehicle.
Plus, the Huracan is in the police impound as evidence in the whole crash. It remains to be seen what the fate of the supercar is, but some Indians seem to think a fitting punishment is that it's crushed. That's a little harsh in our book considering the Lambo didn't do anything wrong.
Reportedly, the two victims are in the hospital with some serious injuries. Both will need surgery to repair damage from the collision, with weeks if not months of recovery ahead of them. At least neither was killed and from the sound of things, hopefully aren't permanently disabled.
For now, Deepak is out on bail. It remains to be seen what his fate will be. Once the court sorts through the accusations of speeding and reckless driving as well as the evidence, the man will either be exonerated or be given a sentence which probably won't be harsh enough for some people.

Amanda Knox and Monica Lewinsky team up for new series, say their stories are similar
Amanda Knox is opening up about teaming up with Monica Lewinsky to reclaim her story in the upcoming limited series based on her life, "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox." The two executive producers of the series sat down with "Good Morning America" Monday and said working on the new show together felt like a natural fit. "I had a first-look television deal at the time, and I thought, aha! Another young woman who had suffered in the media, had been feasted on on the world stage, and luckily, like a savvy executive, she got all the yeses, and we were off to the races," Lewinsky said. Lewinsky, now 52, was catapulted to international infamy in the mid-1990s, after news of her affair with then-President Bill Clinton, while she was a young White House intern, made global headlines. Knox, now 38, captured headlines in 2007, when her roommate, British exchange student Meredith Kercher, was murdered while the two young women were studying abroad in Italy. Knox was convicted of the murder by an Italian court in 2009, along with Raffaele Sollecito, another student she was dating at the time, but both convictions were overturned on appeal in 2011. In 2008, Rudy Guede was convicted of Kercher's murder. He was released in December 2020 after serving 16 years in prison. Italy's highest court subsequently ordered a new trial in 2013, and Knox and Sollecito were reconvicted of murder in 2014, before the high court overturned the murder convictions again in 2015. Knox served four years in prison in Italy before she was released in 2011 and acquitted in 2015. Knox said that although her experience differed from Lewinsky's, they still shared multiple similarities. "We were both interrogated. We've both been, you know, viciously turned into characters of ourselves in the media," Knox said. "And I think that the thing that we actually were both most interested in was making sure that this show had a wider lens." She added, "It's not just a courtroom drama, it's not your typical true crime biopic. It's a more personal journey and one that really begins with the story of what happens before -- and then, of course, what happens after the worst experience of your life." In the series, Knox is portrayed by actress Grace Van Patten, known for her roles in Hulu's "Nine Perfect Strangers" and "Tell Me Lies." Both Knox and Lewinsky serve as executive producers on the series. Knox said making this new series forced her to relive a chapter of her life that she said included some of the "worst moments." Despite this, she said the experience was still cathartic. "It felt like I was allowed to grieve for the first time, because it was outside of myself, and I got to watch myself and these people portray this journey, and it was as if I was there … and I was grieving in a big way for the first time in ways that I wasn't able to," Knox said. Both Knox and Lewinsky said while making "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," they made sure to honor Kercher, who was never able to return from Italy to her home in south London. "Everyone on this project understood that this is a story about two young women who went to go study abroad in Perugia, Italy, and only one of them survived," Knox said. "And I think that the way that I was turned into a caricature, in a big way, she was as well … and we really ground in this series that this is a real person, and it was very important for us to do that." "I didn't know her very long but, like, she was there, and she plays a huge role in my life even today. And so, I hope the audience feels that," Knox added. "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," an eight-part limited series, premieres on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ with the first two episodes on Wednesday. New subsequent episodes will be available to stream every Wednesday, with the finale out Oct. 1.

Ferrari F1 Makes $58 Million Revenue Through Lewis Hamilton Amid Challenges
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. The Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team has reportedly earned an impressive revenue of over $58 million (€50 million) due to Lewis Hamilton's arrival at the team in January. The seven-time world champion made his Ferrari race debut at the Australian Grand Prix this year. Hamilton's bombshell move to Ferrari was highly anticipated after the announcement was made ahead of the 2024 season. This was not only for sporting reasons, but also given the iconic nature of the partnership in the premier class of racing. However, apart from the Briton's sprint race victory in China, he has been struggling to extract maximum performance from Ferrari's SF-25 F1 car. The most recent race at the Hungaroring saw him finish in P12, his worst in the 2025 season thus far. Despite the ongoing challenges on the racetrack, Ferrari has been making major gains financially through its partnership with Hamilton, as reported by Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport. The report stated: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari gives a thumbs up on the drivers parade prior to the F1 Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna at Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari on May 18, 2025... Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari gives a thumbs up on the drivers parade prior to the F1 Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna at Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari on May 18, 2025 in Imola, Italy. More"Hamilton's presence has increased sponsorship revenues by around €50 million annually. In April 2024, following the announcement of the driver's signing, an agreement was signed with HP for €80-90 million: the Reds returned to having a title sponsor after three years. "This and the other contracts, signed prematurely, are not affected by the disappointing results. The other lever is brand exploitation (fashion, merchandising, licensing)." [Translated by Google] The revenue would have been higher if Ferrari and Hamilton had delivered better results. Speaking on the financial boost for Ferrari, Giovanni Palazzi, president of StageUp, said: "The increase in merchandising and the increase in sponsorship revenue can be explained by Hamilton's appeal, as he's not just a driver but a living sporting legend. His image transcends Formula 1 and speaks to a global audience, bridging sport, fashion, and pop culture. "This global charisma, combined with the legend of the Prancing Horse, created an irresistible combination for fans and brands at the time of the announcement and then the start of this season, resulting in record sales and top-level partnerships. "Naturally, there's a weakness: if the negative results persist, the legend could also suffer, impacting enthusiasm and commercial returns." Ferrari needs to outperform McLaren on the racetrack to increase its revenue further. Team principal Fred Vasseur revealed that Ferrari must remain consistent on race weekends to compete with the dominant Papaya outfit. Newsweek Sports reported his comments: "I think that the advantage that they [McLaren] have today is that they are always there – it doesn't matter [the conditions]. OK, in qualifying, we were a bit faster, but it was marginal, and they are performing in every single condition when we are a bit more inconsistent during the weekend. "We need to be very consistent in every single condition. In the free practice to have a good preparation for the race, in Q1, Q2, Q3, with all the sets in the race, with the different compounds and so on. I think it's where today they are a bit more performant than us."

Lewis Hamilton's Document to Ferrari on 2026 Car Revealed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team has received car-specific preferences from Lewis Hamilton for the 2026 season, when the sport enters a new era of regulations. The seven-time world champion prefers his car's steering and brake pedals to be suited to his driving style, and with Ferrari developing the 2026 challenger, this is the best time to explore those changes. Hamilton has been experiencing a difficult Ferrari debut season as he continues to struggle with his current SF-25 car. One reason for his challenges could be a long 12-year stint with Mercedes, where the car was suited to his requirements, and being with the same team for multiple seasons meant those changes were carried forward. But switching teams meant he received a car that's very different compared to what he was used to. Just 10 rounds remain for the 2025 season to conclude, and Hamilton is yet to finish on the podium, while his teammate Charles Leclerc has finished in the top three positions five times thus far. Hamilton recently admitted that he had been sending documents to his team, suggesting ways Ferrari could improve the current SF-25, but focusing more on how he wants his 2026 car to be built and set up. Italian publication has reported his preferences, beginning with the pedalboard. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari talks to his engineers in the garage during day two of F1 Testing at Bahrain International Circuit on February 27, 2025 in Bahrain, Bahrain. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari talks to his engineers in the garage during day two of F1 Testing at Bahrain International Circuit on February 27, 2025 in Bahrain, 40-year-old driver's position in the cockpit is crucial for the way he interacts with the controls, especially the pedalboard. On top of this, the Ferrari power unit has a stronger engine braking response than what Hamilton experienced with Mercedes. But with the possibility of limited tweaks on the SF-25, Hamilton has asked for a revision on the 2026 car. Another area that Hamilton intends to modify on the 2026 car is the steering. The new pull-rod suspension on the SF-25 made it sharper in corners, but it gave rise to the problem of understeer. Hamilton's car receives more front-end load in its setup to counter the challenge, but that still hasn't remedied the situation. Thus, he intends to run the car with a mix of different setups. However, the new configurations, involving "bars, shock absorbers with certain stiffnesses and wing" adjustments, work against the SF-25's balance, an area that Ferrari could improve next year. Lastly, the new Ferrari driver also prefers more rear-end stability that complements the front of his car, while Leclerc prefers a consistent front-to-back setup on his car. While the data Ferrari receives from both drivers could be contrasting, given the differences in setups on multiple race weekends, it remains to be seen to what extent Ferrari will go to ensure it offers Hamilton the tools he needs on the 2026 car.
