Oliver Rowland thought he ended his own career – two years later he's world champion

Oliver Rowland secured the most dominant Formula E title in history in Berlin earlier this month and now he prepares to end the season with a home race in London Oliver Rowland was having sleepless nights when he thought he committed career suicide just two years ago. But over this weekend he gets a world championship victory procession on home soil, as he steps out at Formula E's season finale London E-Prix. ‌ The lad from Barnsley, 32, secured the most dominant title win in FE history in Berlin earlier this month to become only Britain's second all-electric world champ - and it came just two years after he quit the series altogether. ‌ Unhappy and underperforming at Mahindra, Rowland made the brave decision to focus on his own wellbeing and ripped up his contract. ‌ But after months of doubts over what he had done, Nissan - the team he drove for when he joined the series full-time in 2018 - offered an olive branch that he knew he had to take. Rowland said: 'The journey I have been on in the last two years is nothing short of crazy. It's almost two years to the day since I was sat without a job, sleeping no more than three hours a night because I was so frightened at what I had done and of the situation I had put myself in. 'From a mental health perspective, I was in a pretty bad place, so to be in this position now, I feel pretty fortunate. I am trying to balance out the emotions because it's highs, lows, coming back home, having a normal life again. It's not a normal thing to navigate. 'I think by taking that risk and that punt in my career long term made me realise that I need to make sure that every small detail is done correctly on my side. I needed to really make the most of this opportunity because the reality was if it didn't work, it was the last one. 'I'm quite a doubting guy. I'm always arriving at a race thinking I'm not going to be good enough, so I'm going to have to work really hard if I want to make the most of this opportunity.' ‌ One of Rowland's secret to successes has been his mentorship of Red Bull F1 wonderkid Arvid Lindblad. Rowland has guided the British-Swedish star since he was just seven. Now a 17-year-old, he drove in FP1 at the recent British Grand Prix and as Lindblad continued to soar, Rowland knew he had to get his act into gear. 'This year is the perfect balance,' Rowland said. 'I'm performing, he's performing, we're driving each other. 'When you set such a high level and you see somebody else you're working so closely with, also setting a high level in a completely different area, you motivate each other, you build that trust between each other. 'If I'm advising him on to do this or to do that, but I'm finishing 20th every week, there's less trust there.'

Centre's FPO Scheme Bears Fruit: 340 Farmer Groups Clock Over Rs 10 Crore Turnover

Last Updated: The Centre's initiative to create 10,000 FPOs is successful, with 1,100 FPOs reaching Rs 1 crore turnover and 340 exceeding Rs 10 crore. The Centre government's effort to set up over 10,000 farmer producer organizations (FPO) seems to bear fruit after an arduous toil in the past four years. According to a report of Financial Express citing data gathered by the Union agricultural ministry, approximately 1100 or 11 per cent FPOs have clocked a turnover of Rs 1 crore. Of the 1,100 FPOs, 340 have reportedly clocked a turnover over Rs 10 crore. The FE report stated that the growth of these FPOs are driven by digital platforms like Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), electronic national agriculture market (e-NAM), and the government e-marketplace (GeM). Now, the government is planning to reward these high-performing FPOs so that other such organisations too get encouraged to boost their business prospects, said the official as per FE report. The Central Sector Scheme for 'Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) was launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on 29th February, 2020. The scheme was launched with a budget outlay of Rs 6,865 Crore till 2027-28. Under this scheme, there is a provision for handholding support for a period of five years to each new FPO formed, and financial assistance to the tune of Rs.18 lakhs to each FPO under the scheme towards management cost for 3 years. On the occasion of 19th installment of PM-KISAN in Bhagalpur, Bihar, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched the 10,000th FPO. It has been registered in Khagaria district and focuses on maize, banana, and paddy. What are FPOs? Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) is a generic name, which refers to farmer- producers' organization incorporated/ registered either under Part IXA of Companies Act or under Co-operative Societies Act of the concerned States and formed for the purpose of leveraging collectives through economies of scale in production and marketing of agricultural and allied sector. The concept behind Farmer Producer Organizations is that farmers, who are the producers of agricultural products, can form groups. To facilitate this process, the Small Farmers' Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC) was mandated by Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India, to support the State Governments in the formation of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs). view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 12:29 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE just tipped for a surprising Ultra-level upgrade

A new report has revealed that the next phone in Samsung's affordable FE series, the Galaxy S25 FE, might feature one advantage over the Galaxy S25. With Galaxy Unpacked having come and gone, you might think Samsung's big phone launches are done for the year. However, the Galaxy S25 FE is expected for release later this year, and while the FE series often features slightly worse hardware, a new report has indicated a substantial charging upgrade for the phone. According to a report from SammyGuru, device quality and safety testers TUV Rheinland have published a listing with the model number SM-S731, which is believed to refer to the Galaxy S25 FE. While the listing in question contains few hardware details, there is one thing of note: the apparent confirmation of 45W charging speeds for the phone. This would mean that the cheaper Galaxy S25 FE would match the charging speeds seen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Plus, and exceed the 25W seen in the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 FE. As we don't know the battery size of the phone, we can't state for certain how speedy a charge you'll get. However, when we tested the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with its 5,000 mAh battery, it managed to reach 71% battery after charging for 30 minutes with a 45W charger. As such, if this news is accurate, we'd imagine the S25 FE to charge impressively quickly too. Aside from the battery, we've heard a few rumors about the rest of the Galaxy S25 FE's hardware. For instance, we've seen reports that the phone will feature the same camera setup as the Galaxy S24 FE, meaning a 50MP main lens, supported by 12MP ultrawide and 8MP telephoto cameras. On the plus side, it appears that Samsung could update the selfie camera to 12MP, compared to the 10MP selfie camera on the current FE. We don't know much about the screen, but we'd expect the phone to at least have the same 6.7-inch display seen on the current S24 FE. There's also a lot of conflicting information when it comes to the chip coming with the phone. We've heard that Samsung could reuse the Exynos 2400e featured on the current phone. However, leaked benchmarks have shown the phone running the Exynos 2400, which would offer a marked performance increase, although it would still lag behind Samsung's other flagship devices and their Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon. Samsung released the Galaxy S24 FE in October last year. While we can't be certain Samsung will stick to the same date, it would seem fair to expect a Fall release date at least.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE costs Rs 20,000 less than Galaxy Z Flip 7, here is the full specs breakdown

Samsung's new foldables are finally here, and while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be the showstopper, don't sleep on the Flip series. This year, Samsung has done something different — and quite interesting — by introducing a Fan Edition version of its clamshell foldable. Say hello to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. It's priced at a cool Rs 20,000 less than the regular Galaxy Z Flip 7, making it the most affordable Flip phone Samsung has launched. But don't be fooled by the FE tag — this is still a feature-packed foldable with enough under the hood to make it worth your attention. Let's break it and buildBoth the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE come with the same Gorilla Glass Victus 2 panels and a sturdy Armor Aluminum frame. So, in terms of durability, they're on equal footing. But if you look closely, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the sleeker one here. It's thinner — 13.9mm folded versus 14.9mm on the FE — and has a slightly more polished feel. You'll also get flashier colours with the regular Galaxy Z Flip 7: Blue Shadow, Jetblack, Coralred, and Mint (Samsung website exclusive). The Flip 7 FE keeps it simple with black and Galaxy Z Flip 7 goes big on screens. Its 4.1-inch cover display stretches across the front and feels like a proper mini phone. It's responsive, fast at 120Hz, and very bright with 2,600 nits of peak brightness. Open it up, and you get a tall 6.9-inch AMOLED panel with the same high refresh rate and brightness — great for videos, scrolling, and split-screen use. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, by comparison, gets a smaller 3.4-inch cover screen with a standard 60Hz refresh rate and a lower peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The inner display is slightly smaller too, at 6.7 inches, but still offers 120Hz refresh and 2,600 nits. It's still a sharp, vibrant panel — just a bit scaled and softwarePowering the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is Samsung's own Exynos 2500 chip, paired with 12GB RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. You also get Samsung DeX support, so you can plug in and get a PC-like experience on a monitor. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE gets the Exynos 2400, 8GB RAM and tops out at 256GB storage — still solid, but not as phones ship with One UI 8 based on Android 16, and you'll find the same suite of AI features on both, including Gemini Live and Now hardware is identical on both models: a 50-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 10-megapixel selfie shooter inside. That said, the Galaxy Z Flip 7's newer chip should help with image processing, and its larger cover screen can be used for framing better selfies. So while photos will likely be close in quality, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may offer a slightly better shooting experience and chargingadvertisementHere's another small win for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 — it packs a 4,300mAh battery versus 4,000mAh on the FE. Samsung claims you'll get up to 31 hours of video playback on the Flip 7, and around 24 hours on the FE. Both phones support 25W wired and 15W wireless charging, which is decent enough for day-to-day upThe Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is clearly aimed at users who want the Flip experience without paying flagship money. Starting at Rs 89,999 for the 128GB model and Rs 95,999 for the 256GB version, it covers the basics well — same core camera hardware, similar software experience, and the same sturdy build. Yes, the screen's a bit smaller, performance is a notch lower, and there's no DeX, but for the price, it's a pretty good said, if you don't mind spending more, the regular Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers a better overall experience. You get a sleeker build, a more usable and responsive cover display, a more powerful Exynos 2500 chip, higher 12GB RAM, and support for Samsung DeX. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is priced at Rs 1,09,999 for the 256GB model and Rs 1,21,999 for the 512GB version. So for Rs 20,000 more, you're getting a more premium foldable experience.- Ends
