It appeared qualifying could even be pushed back until Sunday due to downpours in Austria, though the cars eventually made their way out onto a sodden track following a 46-minute delay. Lewis Hamilton duly produced a masterclass in treacherous conditions to take pole position, the reigning world champion finishing 1.2 seconds clear of nearest rival Verstappen at the end of Q3. The Dutchman had hoped to close the gap on his final lap only to suffer a slight spin, though he has high hopes of being able to push for victory with rain forecast to stay away for the race....

Schumacher’s streak of seven straight poles across the 2000 and 2001 seasons was the last time a driver for the Italian team started four or more successive races at the front of the grid.

Brimley, whose smooth voice and bushy mustache were unmistakeable, was also known for his Quaker Oats commercials and more infamously his PSA’s on behalf of ADA where his pronunciation of ‘diabeetus’ spawned a wave of memes back in the 00’s.

“What we teach is ‘how come?’ Not ‘how,’” noted James Allen Fox, a criminology professor at Northeastern University. “Studying Criminology is not going to make you a criminal, and it’s not going to make you a better criminal.” This is clearly true in the case of Bryan Kohberger, the University of Washington doctoral student in criminology, now accused of the horrific stabbing deaths of four students at the nearby University of Idaho....
