Jenson Button on George Russell qualifying performance🗣️ "Confidence after his first run. You can see he looks relaxed. He looks relaxed behind the wheel. There's no sudden movements on the steering. Everything's very gradual. Precision. Really, really impressive lap. He has. And you know, before qualifying, Kimi looked super...

🗣️: “The car that is performing at the moment is maybe the Mercedes. Just thinking about your championship, you really came out and stamped your authority at Brawn. I was talking to Nigel Mansell the other day. He was saying, well, that's what I did in 1992. It's kind of what George Russell wants to do. How concerned will he be that Kimmi has won the last two?” Jenson Button: “I actually saw George a couple of days ago, just in passing, weirdly. He seems very calm, collected. You know, it won't phase George. He knows his speed and he knows it hasn't gone his way. He's been very unlucky, but you got to take the rough with the smooth and you understand that sometimes you do get unlucky. Next race, he might not be. He might get the luck. So, who knows? But, yeah, for me, it's an exciting championship to have those two fighting out. Such a youngster. You know, Kimi's so young. George, he's a real powerhouse, I have to say. You know, I'm a big fan of George. [..]”

🎥 || Kimi Antonelli talks about sharing the podium in China with Lewis Hamilton. “I think, I couldn’t have wished for a better podium. Sharing the podium with George, with Lewis, who has done the history of the sport. And I think also for Bono it was a very special one. I think for Bono it was a very emotional one because he was standing on the podium with, obviously, his current driver and his past driver, who they wrote history together.” “So, I think for him, I mean, I could see it as well, it was a very, very emotional one and definitely a special one and I think it will be. It’s one of those podiums that he will remember forever.” “Lewis was super nice, he wanted to make sure that I was enjoying the moment. He was very, very happy for me and he really showed it, it was very cool of him.”

.Chamath Palihapitiya says President Trump is completely different from how he is portrayed by the media. "He is charismatic. He's intellectually sharp, and he's funny. And when you put that together, he can engage an audience for a long time and be totally extemporaneous. The other thing I would say is that he is very polite. And he's kind in a way that was disarming and was not what I expected." "And so I felt that I had misjudged him many years in the past. And so I was very glad that I had an opportunity to sit beside him and to actually interact with him one-on-one. It was really engaging." "It was not just a pro-America agenda, but it was very clear that he was pro-innovation. So he was really supportive of AI in the details that he talked about, he was very supportive of crypto in those details. And he's very much low regulation, low taxation. And so when you put that together, it does stand very much in contrast with what the alternative is." "So it's us talking, and he says, you guys are a really beautiful couple. And I said, well, thank you. And then he turns to me, and he goes, well, you must be really rich. And I started laughing out loud. Natalie thought he was hilarious."

Arteta on Lewis-Skelly: “I've been tough on him. He had a spectacular season last year when he jumped into the first team. He had some difficult moments after that, but he stayed very humble, very focused, aligned when we wanted to do and I knew he was ready. “He's been showing in training every day the opportunities that he had to play, he's done it and today he really stepped up and I thought he had an incredible performance. Reporter: What was the sort of thinking behind that and why do you think it's taken this long to play him there? Arteta: “Because probably I don't have a clue. Maybe I should have done it earlier, I don't know. But I have to do things when I believe that the player is ready, the team is ready and the opponent is the right one to play with him in that position. “We've done it today, it's the first time, it was a big risk because I knew what was going to happen. If it works, it's great. would have lost the game, what would have happened, how do you play a kid at this age in this scenario in a position he hasn't played all season. I knew that but I had the feeling it was the right game for him.”

yunho said he tried his spiderman suit yesterday. his parents helped him put it on and they complimented it a lot. he said that it's totally 'his' suit (custom-made to perfection), that it fits well, and that it's something like you see in a movie. he took mirror selfies and regular shots and it really just looks like it was made for him. his mom and dad were like "wow, the quality is amazing. wow, it suits you well ... you really look like you'd appear in a movie." he said it's similar to andrew garfield's fit and that he wants to show us but he'll do so when he's styled up. he'll pick a day and ask someone to take the pictures for him because the ones he have now were all taken at his family's house. he said we should look forward to it because it's THAT good. someone commented that he should show us the very first picture he took and he said okay. he said it's honestly cool enough to wear during his birthday live but he'll reveal it through pictures first so when it gets posted, we should check it out right away ~ that he was surprised because it suits him better than he expected. he then said that that was the first time his parents saw him in something so form-fitting. they were like "huh? our kid's body looks like this? it's this good?" and hearing that made him feel good. the suit is really tight/fitted. like a total (superhero) suit. since he's grown now, it's not like he walks around their house naked and stuff like he did when he was little so hearing his parents say "our son has a really nice shape/physique" gave him a confidence boost. someone asked if it's super tight and he said it's really just like the ones you see in movies. so he'll take some pictures and show us ~

Kyle Shanahan on Curtis Robinson: “He's really worked to get better each year, and he's a very talented guy. I think when he came here, he hadn't played in a system like this for a while. It took him a little bit to kind of pick that up, but we so believed in him as a guy and his talent level that after a year, you could start to see it clicking. He became a big asset on special teams, and last year was the first time that we really believed he was going to step in there, really contribute at linebacker at a high level. It was actually kind of a sad story, but it was about 20 minutes before he tours ACL, was the first time that I told him he'd be starting that week. It was his first start in his career, and he had earned it. We were going to move him ahead of Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles at the time. I had just told Flannigan, which was tough for Flannigan, but they were so tight, so he was happy for Curtis. Then it was about 20 minutes later that Curtis tore his ACL on special teams before he even got to a defensive rep. He was so coming in there and finally about to have his moment. Then he had that setback, which I know crushed the team for him. He's one of the most liked guys on our team, as good of a person and good of a dude as I've ever been around. He's worked for this moment, and we're excited to see him get his opportunity." via: 49ers on NBCS

Lewis Hamilton speaking about Santi (his race engineer) 🫂 What was the feeling with your new Italian Bono beside you? Lewis: "Ah yeah, um, it was, it was great to have him up there. I think, you know, him kind of substituting this year, jumping in and diving in deep with me. Um, we didn't know each other, we've never spoken and, uh, I didn't really know much, I didn't know anything about him. And we met and, you know, I think got on straight away." "But, uh, it's, it's, it's, it's great to be able to connect with an engineer other than what I used to have, you know. I had it for such a long time, and then you kind of lose that feeling because Bono's now doing it with Kimi. And, um, it's really great to be able to share that experience with him on, on that stage." "Um, and also probably like, he's very, very quiet. Um, you could tell it's hard for him to, to express his emotions. He's just smiley and, you know. So, I'm giving him these big hugs and like pulling him in, you know, saying thank you. And, um, I, I like to think that this has probably re, reignited the, the love that he has as being an engineer, and, um, as he has done for me as a driver."

“So it was a wheel shield problem. You hit the curb?” Kimi: “I hit the curb like every lap. That lap I probably hit it less even than previous laps. And I could feel instantly something broke. And I just didn't know what was going on. And also the team was trying to understand. Initially, we thought it was the front wing, but then it wasn't the front wing. Yeah, just didn't didn't go our way. And it was a shame because I think we had a real shot for the win today. It's one extra motivation to be back stronger and to do even better.”

💬 I want to know which of you is the master at memorizing lyrics and choreography? Is it you? #BaiLu: Maybe. But everyone was very serious. I remember the last rehearsal it was really cute. That was (#SongWeilong). He doesn’t really like dancing and doesn’t usually dance, I think. So he was very nervous because we added a few new moves After the rehearsal, backstage, it was the first time I’d ever seen him so extroverted. He went up to everyone there were eight of us and told each person, “I did it right, I did it right.” He said it to everyone. Just imagine Song Weilong like that. “I did it right! Oh my god, I did it right!” 😆 💬 Does he often get the moves wrong? 🦌: He was probably just nervous at first.

carlos making max laugh by believing he had pole for a second there 😭😭😭 🗣️: just how good was that final lap, first of all? carlos: yeah, it was a very good lap. i thought it was a pole-worthy lap. when i closed the lap i saw myself in P1 and then i realized i was the first car across the flag. and yeah, maybe that was not going to last very long with these two guys coming behind. but it felt like a really good quali.

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it. I just turned to my operator - who was shaking- I looked over at the guy - I was like, “please tell me you got that.” Because that was the take. That was it. There was no other take - I mean, how do you tell an actor like that, that that wasn't good enough? …He walked over to me, and he just had this look in his eyes. I was like, “you good?” He said, “you good?” I said, “Yeah…” Some of that was in the script, but he flipped it the way he did it. "Putting cases on all you." He kind of added some things in there. And then he just went into a whole other zone with the whole King Kong thing- with Pelican Bay - Denzel started that. That was Denzel. That was him, man. He just kind of lit up, and I think I forgot to yell cut. I was just watching it, because everybody started walking away, and I'm just watching him, and then he lights a cigarette - and he's talking - and I'm just watching him. I think at some point he probably looked at me like, you going to cut? And I'm like, “oh yeah, yeah, cut.” He was still in it. That's the thing with Denzel. He was so Alonso…I'm just watching him for a while because I didn't know what else he was going to do. It was just so magical. And then I think he looked up at me and I was like, “Okay, cut, cut.”

🚨| Sir Lewis Hamilton on the driver's parade with Isack Hadjar and Isack's first race: "Well, firstly, he didn't ask for a selfie. I asked him to take a selfie. Because I know that he's been a supporter growing up, which is really, really nice. And he came over to me and he made some really nice comments. So we had a nice little discussion on the parade. And then, as we were leaving, I said, take a photo because it's your first race and it's my first race with Ferrari. So let's remember it." "And then, of course, I know what it's like to have your first Grand Prix and the pressure that you have with it. And it was the worst conditions that you could have your first race. You get the worst conditions. So, so slippery. And obviously, he had his off on the formation lap." "And I know how it feels. It's a horrible feeling. One, from yourself, because you've practiced so much, you've prepared so well. And then something like that happens. And then too, with how people look upon you and the negativity you feel, that's incoming. So I think it was really important." "I mean, I remember what it was like at the beginning. And I really wanted to try to be there as much as I can for Isaac. My door's open." "We can always have conversations moving forwards. And also just know that one race doesn't defy you. There's lots of opportunities up ahead. And just keep your head up. And it's not like how you fall, it's how you get back up." - F1 2025 China -

And then too, with how people look upon you and the negativity you feel, that's incoming. So I think it was really important." "I mean, I remember what it was like at the beginning. And I really wanted to try to be there as much as I can for Isaac. My door's open." "We can always have conversations moving forwards. And also just know that one race doesn't defy you. There's lots of opportunities up ahead. And just keep your head up. And it's not like how you fall, it's how you get back up." - F1 2025 China -

stefan van de graaff, director of “one of us,” on casting kit connor in the lead role: “that's actually really kind of incredible story. so we knew that we wanted to cast around the lead actor, which, in this case, is kit. he plays a character named youngest. we wanted to cast around it first. […] we went to independent, which is the talent agency that kit is repped by in the uk, and originally, we had approached other actors. i had kit on my shortlist as people that i wanted in the film, but when i reviewed his work, i thought he might just be a little bit too young for the role. so we actually went and approached a few other actors first, and we had one booked, but he got really sick and—literally two weeks before we were filming—so we went back to independent and they said, ‘who else are you looking at? is there anybody else that we can put on?’ and i had, again, reviewed kit's work in the past, and i said, ‘talk to me about kit. i love him. i think he's a brilliant actor. i think he has just the right look. i think he's a little young.’ and his agent was just really effusive about saying he's the most mature person you'll ever meet. he carries himself as an adult. yes, he's, you know, i think he was 19 at the time. but that will not come through in his effort and his, you know, his capability. and so i had a phone call with kit, and it was very clear that he punched well above his weight in terms of his age. he's wise beyond his years and was extremely talented and thorough, and so, cast him, and that has ended up being a really, really incredible sequence of events because i absolutely loved working with him, and i don't think the film is the film without him. so it's been very fortunate.” 🔗:

Jason Day was asked ahead of The Masters whether he has any empathy for what Tiger Woods is going through and he gave a brilliant answer that a lot of people can probably agree with: “So yeah, in regards to Tiger, it just shows the human element and the human side of someone that is struggling with some sort of an addiction. He's not immune to it just because he can hit a golf ball really well. He's had 25 to 30 something surgeries, and when you're going through that many procedures, it's painful coming out of those procedures. I've had procedures done and I typically try and stay away from all that stuff because I just know that -- painkillers, there can potentially be a downfall to it. “Granted, when I look at that, I look at it and go, he's just a human being like everyone else and we have struggles. It's unfortunate, the only thing that I don't understand is that it's a little bit selfish of him to drive and put other people in harm's way, as well. “But when you're the player that he was and how strong-willed he is, he thinks he can do almost anything, and that's probably why he's probably driving and a little bit under the influence. “He was my hero -- he's my hero. He was my hero growing up. The reason why I play golf is because of this tournament and Tiger. It's hard to see him go through what he's going through, and especially under the microscope that -- it must be hard to be who he is and have everything, everyone look on, kind of down on him. “Some people want him to fail. Some people obviously want him to succeed. It's really difficult for me to go through that and watch him, and I know that he's getting the help now, which is good. I'm just hoping he comes out on the other side and is better.” Well said. Jason Day The Masters
