F1 in Britain: Terrible English summer weather equals entertaining race

The heat dome that has been oppressing much of Europe seems to have largely ignored the British Isles. Not a drop of rain marred the 24 hour races at Le Mans, the Nürburgring, or Spa-Francorchamps, held unusually over consecutive weekends this June. Similarly, last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix took place under scorching skies that were baking the Tyrolean mountains. No such luck for the vast crowds at Silverstone attending the British Grand Prix this past weekend, who definitely needed their wa

AI is forcing the data industry to consolidate — but that’s not the whole story

He suggested this would be "enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the tr
