A few days ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix Charles Leclerc is making headlines on and off the track. The F1 world is buzzing about his stance on Lewis Hamilton’s rocky Ferrari start. Speaking to RacingNews365 Leclerc commented that it is too early to judge Hamilton’s performances given it’s his first season with Ferrari after twelve years at Mercedes and emphasized his own focus on bringing Ferrari back to the top. He leads Hamilton handily in qualifying and race head-to-heads this season but remains diplomatic publically and says Hamilton is still adjusting. On the track Leclerc is coming out of a frustrating Hungarian Grand Prix where a mysterious collapse cost him what he called his best chance for a 2025 victory according to The Race continuing Ferrari’s ongoing win drought despite Leclerc’s five podiums.

Off the back of his vacation Leclerc promoted his ice cream brand LEC via Instagram showing off the multi-faceted interests of the Monegasque star. He’s also making business moves: Adgully reports Leclerc just launched Sidequest a creative studio venture with teammates from the arts and gaming industry—a significant step in broadening his off-track profile.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
