Antonelli ondanks 'verschrikkelijke start' jongste WK-leider ooit

SUZUKA (ANP) - De 19-jarige Kimi Antonelli is na zijn winst in de Grote Prijs van Japan de jongste leider ooit in het wereldkampioenschap van de Formule 1. Hij lost Lewis Hamilton af, die sinds zijn winst in de Grote Prijs van Spanje in 2007 in de boeken stond als jongste WK-leider ooit. Hamilton was destijds 22 jaar oud.

Antonelli was blij na zijn zege op het circuit van Suzuka, zijn tweede op rij. Hij benoemde in het flashinterview na afloop zijn "verschrikkelijke start". De Italiaan vertrok van pole position, maar zakte in de eerste ronde naar de zesde plaats. "Ik moet nog even nagaan wat daar misging, het is dit jaar steeds een zwak punt", zei hij.

De jongeling van Mercedes gaf wel toe dat de crash van Oliver Bearman hem had geholpen. De coureurs voor hem waren net van banden gewisseld, toen de safetycar de baan op kwam. Antonelli kon profiteren van een pitstop zonder noemenswaardig tijdverlies. "Ik had geluk met de safetycar, maar het tempo van de auto op de harde band was ongelooflijk. Ik voelde me heerlijk in de auto."


Syrië meldt nieuwe drone-aanval vanuit Irak

DAMASCUS (ANP/AFP) - Syrië zegt een aanval te hebben afgeslagen die vanuit Irak is uitgevoerd op een Amerikaanse basis. Onderminister van Defensie Sipan Hamo meldde dat vier drones waren gelanceerd vanuit het buurland.

Volgens Hamo konden de drones worden neergehaald voordat slachtoffers vielen. "Wij houden Irak verantwoordelijk en roepen het op om te voorkomen dat er opnieuw aanvallen plaatsvinden die onze stabiliteit bedreigen."

De onderminister zei dat dit keer een basis in Qasrak het doelwit was. Syrië meldde zaterdag al dat een drone-aanval op een andere basis was afgeslagen en eerder in de week waren er berichten dat een raketbeschieting vanuit Irak had plaatsgevonden.

VS in Syrië

Onduidelijk is wie achter de jongste aanval zit. In Irak bevinden zich pro-Iraanse gewapende groepen die ook betrokken zijn bij de oorlog in de regio.

De VS hebben al jaren troepen gelegerd in Syrië, maar die aanwezigheid wordt afgebouwd. Er zijn de afgelopen maanden militairen teruggetrokken uit meerdere bases.


Antonelli zegeviert ook in Grote Prijs Japan, Verstappen achtste

SUZUKA (ANP) - Kimi Antonelli heeft zijn tweede zege op rij geboekt in de Formule 1. De 19-jarige Italiaan reed na een indrukwekkend optreden op het circuit van Suzuka zijn Mercedes naar de overwinning in de Grote Prijs van Japan.

Antonelli nam met de winst ook de leiding over in het wereldkampioenschap van zijn teamgenoot George Russell. De Brit eindigde als vierde.

Max Verstappen rukte in de beginfase op van de elfde naar de achtste plaats, maar toen stokte zijn inhaalrace. Het lukte de viervoudig wereldkampioen van Red Bull niet om Pierre Gasly (Alpine) in te halen, waardoor hij genoegen moest nemen met de achtste plaats.

Oscar Piastri gaf zijn eerste race van dit jaar glans met de tweede plaats. De Australiër van McLaren kon dat succes wel gebruiken na twee mislukkingen. In de openingsrace in Australië crashte Piastri in de opwarmronde en in China kon hij door problemen met de accu niet van start gaan.

Kimi Antonelli wins Japan Grand Prix to become youngest F1 championship leader

  • Italian leads Mercedes teammate Russell by nine points

  • Oscar Piastri second for McLaren in first race of season

Kimi Antonelli won the Japanese Grand Prix ultimately dominating the second half of the race and with it the 19-year-old has become the youngest driver to lead the Formula One world championship. It was another remarkably confident drive for Mercedes from the youngster as he beat the McLaren of Oscar Piastri into second with Charles Leclerc third for Ferrari. However, George Russell’s title ambitions took a minor blow as he finished only fourth.

Lando Norris was fifth for McLaren and Lewis Hamilton sixth for Ferrari. Max Verstappen, who has struggled with a difficult car all weekend, could mange only eighth.

‘Our story proves that nothing is impossible in football’: the remarkable rise of Thun

Minnows have all but sewn up the Swiss Super League title with seven games to go having been favourites to go down

The FC Thun heroes do not hide their amusement and amazement when speaking about what has been an incredible season. They giggle when asked if they could possibly have expected such a scenario. They know that the situation is surreal and illogical. The words “incredible” and “unbelievable” are used frequently.

When Thun were promoted to the Swiss Super League in May, they were predicted to struggle. “A lot of pundits identified them as No 1 relegation candidates. Expectations were very low, and fans thought that avoiding relegation would be a major success,” Berner Zeitung journalist Adrian Horn says.

Back on form: six England-based players who are doing well on loan in Europe

Rasmus Højlund is back among the goals at Napoli while Kakub Kiwior has helped make Porto solid in defence and Largie Ramazani has given Valencia a creative spark

The Dane, like many others, struggled under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford and was packed off to Naples. He scored on his debut, a 3-1 win over Fiorentina, and has been consistent since, netting 10 goals in 26 games for Serie A’s third-placed team. “Now it’s portrayed as if I’m back and just doing really well,” Højlund, who cost United £72m when they signed him from Atalanta in August 2023, said to Denmark’s TV2 last week. “But inside myself my thoughts are in a completely different place. I’m self-critical. I still want to be even better, more involved in the games and score more goals, but it’s fun to observe how the image of me is constantly changing.”

Forget birdwatching, I’m into moth-watching: they’re fascinating and misunderstood insects | Helen Pilcher

According to new research, distinguishing between the UK’s 2,500 species could halt cognitive decline – so my brain could not be happier, or healthier

Do you ever worry that your brain’s slowing down and your mind is … what’s the word … fogging? If you do, I have news. A recent study on birdwatching, with the appropriately named lead author Erik Wing, found that learning to become an expert birder causes changes to the brain that may help to protect against age-related cognitive decline. Compared with novice birders, when true bird nerds tease apart difficult species, they show more activity in brain regions linked to visual processing, attention and working memory. These same areas also appear more compact, and age-related changes in them are smaller.

The take-home message is that learning to tell a chiffchaff from a willow warbler could help us to stay mentally sharp as we age. But what about discerning a common quaker from a clouded drab? Or a brown-line bright-eye from a bright-line brown eye? These are the names, not of birds, but of moths. I’ve been hooked on moths ever since I was a kid.

‘Visible from space’: why Spain has the world’s biggest concentration of greenhouses

Andalusia houses ‘Europe’s vegetable garden’ – a laboratory of development and innovation producing vegetables for all of Europe

Europe’s vegetable garden is in Andalusia, southern Spain. It is so vast that it can even be seen from space: if you open Google Maps and look west of Almería, you will see a white patch that looks like a glacier, but as you zoom in, you realise it is the highest concentration of greenhouses in the world. More than 30,000 hectares (74,131 acres) of land are covered in plastic, a geometric labyrinth five times the size of Manhattan, where 3.5m tons of vegetables are produced every year – from tomatoes to cucumbers, peppers to courgettes, aubergines to melons – enough to feed half a billion people and generate a turnover of more than 3bn euros.

Workers prepare peppers inside the Hortamar cooperative, a fruit and vegetable producers’ organisation in Roquetas de Mar, founded in 1977, that now has more than 240 members and sells throughout Europe, the US and Canada.

My search for the perfect Sachertorte in Vienna

The luscious chocolate and apricot torte is the stuff of legend in the grand, old world of Viennese coffeehouses. But which makes the tastiest?

I’m on a tram on Vienna’s Ringstrasse as towering facades, columns, statues and domes drift past, each more ornate than the last. Here, the State Opera; there, the Austrian parliament, built in the Greek neoclassical style.

As I gawp, I shove cake in my mouth. After all, Vienna isn’t just the city of music, or lavish architecture. Thanks, in part, to its centuries-old coffeehouse culture, it’s also one of Europe’s finest pastry destinations. Cake (or more precisely, torte, kuchen or Mehlspeisen) has its own day here – “Sweet Friday”, the most delicious of Catholic customs, when meat dishes are replaced with sweets. I have been introduced to it via the medium of Marillenknödel – apricot dumplings.

Isometric Boxes ? Modular Experiences


This series features a collection of symbols and shapes mapped into three-dimensional space using isometric perspective, turning flat graphic language into something architectural and tactile. Every cube is a small world: top, left, and right faces independently drawn from a library of custom assets, each assigned its own color from a bold palette of thirteen, then composed into grids that shift between tight tessellations and open honeycomb arrangements. The tool, built in Processing, randomizes symbol placement, face colors, and background on every refresh, and supports live animation with options like ripple and wave. The result is a visual vocabulary folded into geometric space ? where every surface is a face, and every face has something to say.
