Dennis Hauger Wins WWTR Pole in Oval Debut
INDYCAR If anyone thought Dennis Hauger might struggle to find speed in the first oval race of his life, think again. INDY NXT by Firestone championship leader Hauger won the pole Saturday for his oval racing debut, taking the top spot for the INDYCAR development series race at World Wide Technology with a two-lap average speed of 166.162 mph in the No. 26 Nammo car fielded by Andretti Global. Hauger's run to his fourth pole of the season was a track record, breaking the previous two-lap average mark of 164.242 set last year by series champion Louis Foster. SEE: Qualifying Results The pole performance for rookie Hauger, who has won four of the first five races this season, came after he looked mortal for nearly the first time this season in the opening practice earlier today on the 1.25-mile oval. He was fifth in that session, more than 1.6 mph slower than leader Caio Collet, as he learned the intricacies of this unique, egg-shaped oval. 'First time on an oval, and we got the pole,' Hauger said. 'Super happy about that. Didn't really know what to expect, but we got up to speed in practice, and we really made improvements for qualifying. 'Looking forward to seeing how we get on tomorrow. It's going to be a bit of a different game.' The 75-lap race starts at 4:30 p.m. ET Sunday (FS1, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network). It's the first oval race of the season. 2024 series Rookie of the Year Collet qualified second at 165.735 in the No. 76 HMD Motorsports car. His second lap of 166.341 is the one-lap record for INDY NXT at WWTR. Salvador de Alba will start third after his qualifying performance of 165.223 in the No. 27 Grupo Indi machine of Andretti Global, joined in Row 2 by fellow veteran Myles Rowe, who qualified fourth at 165.082 in the No. 99 Abel/Force Indy car. Rookie Lochie Hughes, the only race winner this season besides Hauger, qualified fifth at 164.350 in the No. 26 McGinley Clinic/USF Pro Championship car of Andretti Global. Josh Pierson will fill out Row 3 after qualifying sixth at 163.993 in the No. 14 HMD Motorsports car.

G42 Plants Flag in London to Power Europe's AI Ambition
G42 has unveiled a new London‑based subsidiary, G42 Europe & UK, designed to amplify its AI infrastructure and services across the United Kingdom and continental Europe. The entity, co‑chaired by Omar Mir and Marty Edelman, will deliver end‑to‑end AI offerings—from advisory and model deployment to supercomputing infrastructure—for sectors including finance, healthcare, energy and manufacturing. The launch comes as G42 continues its strategic European rollout, following the roll‑out of AI compute clusters and data‑centre capabilities in France and Italy. Positioned at the heart of London, the new hub aims to serve as a local nexus for AI innovation, bridging the gulf between regulatory frameworks and technological delivery. Omar Mir, an international board member at World Wide Technology with more than two decades of experience in 5G, cloud and AI services across Europe and the Middle East, will co‑lead the initiative. His counterpart, Marty Edelman, G42's group general counsel, brings deep expertise in legal oversight and governance—a reflection of G42's emphasis on secure, sovereign deployment in regulated markets. ADVERTISEMENT Mir emphasised the vision: 'Our goal is to harness G42's proven AI expertise and localise it for European and UK businesses—fuelling digital transformation, enhancing competitiveness, and building resilient, sovereign AI infrastructure in partnership with public and private stakeholders'. Edelman added that the UK and Europe represent dynamic markets with significant scope for AI‑driven innovation, and that a London hub enables the company to align closely with local regulatory regimes. G42 Europe & UK will leverage the group's global computing backbone—comprising supercomputing nodes, data centres and AI‑modeling platforms—to deliver a full spectrum of capabilities. Services will span strategic advisory, AI model development, infrastructure deployment and managed services, all with a focus on local data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. The initiative complements G42's earlier announcements of strategic investments in AI infrastructure in France and Italy. In Italy, G42 is partnering on a €1 billion supercomputing build with iGenius, while in France it has established an AMD‑powered AI facility in Grenoble. The London operation is expected to accelerate regulatory engagement and foster partnerships tailored to the European sovereignty agenda. Analysts suggest the move is part of a broader ambition by the UAE and G42 to position themselves as credible alternatives to US and Chinese cloud and AI providers. By offering sovereign, locally governed infrastructure, G42 aims to appeal to European clients seeking secure, high‑performance computing solutions. G42's broader portfolio, including Khazna data centres, Core42 sovereign‑cloud capabilities, cybersecurity firm CPX, analytics outfit Presight and AI lab Inception, will support the London hub's operations. This integrated ecosystem underpins G42's 'Intelligence Grid', a unified platform delivering enterprise‑grade AI research, analytics and cloud services. London's strategic significance is two‑fold. As a pre‑Brexit financial and regulatory anchor, it provides a gateway to both UK and EU markets. Moreover, it enhances G42's ability to work alongside national and regional authorities in shaping next‑generation AI infrastructure and data governance frameworks. Employee responses on social media underline the positive reception. A post from G42's LinkedIn noted the subsidiary 'will drive localized AI solutions and lead infrastructure build‑outs across the UK and continental Europe,' garnering broad applauds from industry peers. Industry observers acknowledge that G42's European foothold aligns with wider trends in AI geopolitics. Investment in local compute and data sovereignty reflects growing European determination to reduce dependency on US or Chinese technology ecosystems while scaling home‑grown digital capacity.

G42 Stakes Claim in Europe with London AI Hub
G42 has inaugurated a London-based subsidiary, named G42 Europe & UK, marking a strategic expansion into the continent's private and public sectors. The entity aims to deliver AI-driven solutions and collaborate with governments and industry partners to erect critical AI infrastructure across continental Europe. The new operation will be co‑chaired by Omar Mir, a board member at World Wide Technology with over 20 years' experience in 5G, edge computing, cloud and AI deployments, and Marty Edelman, G42's group general counsel leading legal and compliance strategy for its global operations. G42 Europe & UK intends to localise the parent group's 'supercomputing nodes, data centres and AI capabilities' to support end‑to‑end AI services—ranging from advisory and model development to infrastructure deployment and managed services—across sectors including finance, healthcare, manufacturing and energy. ADVERTISEMENT Omar Mir stated the goal is 'to harness G42's proven AI expertise and localise it for European and UK businesses — fuelling digital transformation, enhancing competitiveness and building resilient, sovereign AI infrastructure in partnership with public and private stakeholders.' Marty Edelman described the region as a 'dynamic market with immense opportunity for AI‑driven innovation,' emphasizing London's relevance as a hub with deep regulatory understanding. This launch follows G42's broader continental push, tied to its data‑centre and high‑performance compute announcements in France and Italy, including a €1 billion supercomputing initiative with iGenius in Italy and an AMD‑powered facility in Grenoble. That wave of infrastructure expansion reflects Abu Dhabi's growing AI footprint in Europe. Analysts view the move as part of a broader UAE strategy aimed at offering European markets an alternative to leading US and Chinese AI suppliers, positioning G42 as a sovereign‑oriented provider of AI compute services. The London hub is expected to accelerate regulatory engagement and foster collaborations tailored to the region's data sovereignty agendas. G42's portfolio of specialised subsidiaries—including Khazna Data Centers, Core42 sovereign cloud, cybersecurity firm CPX, analytics arm Presight and AI lab Inception—will underpin the expansion, offering a comprehensive suite of AI infrastructure and services. Regional demand for locally governed, secure AI infrastructure continues to grow. G42's expansion is aligned with high‑profile European initiatives, such as the Italian supercomputer and AI campus in France backed by Abu Dhabi investment. London's hub will provide direct interface with European regulators and corporate partners seeking sovereign solutions outside dominant US/Chinese tech ecosystems. G42 Europe & UK is expected to engage with national and regional bodies to support regulatory frameworks and technological standards, as it rolls out next‑gen AI infrastructure. Its services aim to blend advanced technology nodes with legal and governance oversight suited to European data and digital resilience priorities. Observers suggest the London operation not only signals G42's ambition to be a key infrastructure partner in Europe, but also frames Abu Dhabi's broader economic diplomacy. With partnerships including Nvidia, AMD and Microsoft, and high‑capacity projects like Stargate UAE, G42's European hub is expected to amplify the UAE's influence in global AI development.
