Kimi Antonelli to be Lewis Hamilton’s replacement at Formula 1’s Mercedes

-

After his Formula One début ended in a collision, teenager Kimi Antonelli was announced as Lewis Hamilton's replacement at Mercedes for 2025. 

In the first practice session of Sunday's Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Antonelli replaced George Russell. Less than two circuits and ten minutes passed during his maiden debut at the Parabolica because he lost control of his Mercedes. 

Team principal Toto Wolff affirmed Antonelli's elevation as a junior driver with the team and said the incident would not affect his chances of winning an F1 race. Alongside George, Antonelli expressed his pleasure over being named a Mercedes works driver and thanked the team for their belief in him and support. Though he is still learning, he believes he is prepared for the chance.

Giannis Antonelli, an Italian Formula One driver, became a colleague of the Monza squad after making a strong F2 debut. With little time on the circuit, two-time Karting and Formula 4 winner Antonelli crashed after gaining too much speed into the last corner of his second lap. 

George Hamilton, another rookie, left for Ferrari at the end of the season, and he is taking his place. Monza's new squad demonstrates their faith in indigenous talent and the excellence of their youth program. Wolff, the team manager of Monza, stated, "Kimi has consistently shown the talent and speed needed to compete at the very top of our sport."

The team is thrilled about the possibility of having its first Italian driver in Formula One for three years. Italy hasn't had a Formula One victory since 2006, and it took considerably longer for the country to win the championship—Alberto Ascari was the last Italian champion in 1953.

Ozempic Weight-loss drugs to Slow Down Ageing Process, scientists suggest

-

Drugs for weight loss have the potential to completely transform healthcare by delaying the aging process and extending life expectancy and quality of life. Leading scientists have made this stark statement in response to research that were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Conference in London last week. Studies have already shown that semaglutide , which is marketed under the names Ozempic and Wegovy , lowers the risk of death in patients with cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese. However, more recent research has shown that Ozempic has effects that go beyond what was once thought to be possible for the medication. Researchers found that those who took the medication died at a decreased rate from all causes, not just cardiovascular ones. "Semaglutide has far-reaching benefits beyond what we initially imagined," Yale School of Medicine Professor Harlan Krumholz stated. It goes beyond just preventing heart attacks. They are advocates for ...

Matching dinosaur footprints found more than 3,700 miles apart

A team of paleontologists found matching dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents, separated by thousands of miles of ocean.  The footprints, dating back to the Early Cretaceous period, were found in Brazil and in Cameroon , researchers wrote in a study published Monday by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. The discovery shows where land-dwelling dinosaurs were able to cross freely between South America and Africa before the two continents split apart millions of years ago . The study showed that the more than 260 footprints that were examined were imprinted in mud and silt along historic rivers and lakes; the footprints in South America and Africa were separated by more than 3,700 kilometers. Paleontologists discovered that they shared similarities in terms of age, shape, and plate tectonic and geological settings. According to Louis Jacobs , a paleontologist at Southern Methodist Universit y, dinosaurs left their mark 120 million year...
