Piccolo incidente e tante risate durante le riprese di un video promozionale per Mercedes. Kimi Antonelli, al volante di una vettura stradale della casa tedesca, ha urtato una recinzione mentre procedeva in retromarcia. Una scena divertente, condivisa sui social ufficiali del team, che ha subito attirato l’attenzione dei tifosi. Ad assistere alla scena c’era anche George Russell, compagno di squadra del giovane pilota italiano, seduto su un’altra automobile. Di fronte all’imprevisto, il britannico non è riuscito a trattenere le risate.

L’impatto è stato lieve e non ha provocato ovviamente alcuna conseguenza fisica per Antonelli, che ha vinto ad Austin, avvicinandosi al sogno Mondiale. Nessun problema, dunque, per il pilota Mercedes, protagonista di un simpatico fuori programma lontano dalle sfide in pista.

Un altro piccolo passo. Piccolissimo, minuscolo. Poi un pilota italiano tornerà a vincere un mondiale di Formula 1 a distanza di 73 anni dall’ultima volta, quando trionfò Alberto Ascari nel 1953. Per Andrea Kimi Antonelli non è più una questione di “se“, ma di “quando“. Con cinque gare alla fine (tenendo sempre i gran premi di Qatar e Abu Dhabi, ancora in forse) e 125 punti a disposizione, Antonelli ha 123 punti di vantaggio sul compagno di scuderia George Russell e 124 sul ferrarista Lewis Hamilton. Con la vittoria di Austin ha messo un altro grande tassello per il successo finale, ma non è bastato per l’aritmetica, considerando il quarto posto di Hamilton e l’ottavo di Russell, che tengono – seppur servirebbe un autentico miracolo – ancora aritmeticamente in corsa i due per il titolo Mondiale.

Ma cosa serve quindi ad Andrea Kimi Antonelli per laurearsi campione del mondo in Messico? Due punti. Ad Antonelli basterà arrivare nono in Messico, sempre considerando che Russell vinca la gara. Se invece dovesse vincerla Hamilton, ad Antonelli basterebbe un decimo posto, quindi un solo punto. Se Russell ed Hamilton non dovessero vincere, Andrea Kimi Antonelli sarebbe aritmeticamente campione del mondo a prescindere dal proprio risultato. Insomma, se ad Austin le probabilità erano decisamente più basse, in Messico la percentuale di vedere Andrea Kimi Antonelli campione del mondo è decisamente molto alta. La Mercedes si prepara e lo fa anche l’Italia: da 73 anni un pilota azzurro non si laurea campione in Formula 1.

His right-wing rival, Flavio Bolsonaro lost by 51.79% to 48.21% and has refused to concede, vowing to seek an annulment of the vote

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has received congratulations from Latin American nations and fellow BRICS members after winning reelection as Brazil’s president.

Lula prevailed over right-wing challenger Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of jailed former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of US President Donald Trump, in the second round of the vote on Sunday.

The 80-year-old veteran politician secured 51.79% of valid votes against Bolsonaro’s 48.21%, according to the completed count published by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), winning a historic fourth term by more than 4.4 million votes.

The victory means Latin America’s largest economy is set to maintain its prominent role in BRICS rather than shift closer to Washington under the Bolsonaro political dynasty. The defeated challenger had openly questioned Brazil’s membership in the bloc, accusing Lula of using it to antagonize the United States.

Addressing jubilant crowds in Sao Paulo, Lula thanked Brazilians for his reelection and singled out young people who had taken to the streets during the campaign.

“Today, my remarks are about gratitude,” he declared, pledging to give citizens a greater say in government decisions. “We are going to change the way this country is governed.”

However, Bolsonaro has refused to concede defeat and vowed to seek the annulment of the election, accusing the Supreme Court of improperly interfering in the vote.

“Brazil cannot accept this dirty trick,” he declared, denouncing the last-minute decision to extend voting hours nationwide by two hours as “unacceptable” and equivalent to “changing the rules of the game while the game was being played.”

The controversial ruling by Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin, Lula’s former personal lawyer, followed complaints from the incumbent’s campaign that public transport disruptions had prevented voters from reaching polling stations.

However, Bolsonaro did not mention that his own campaign had also requested extended voting hours in several cities affected by severe weather.

The decision came shortly after the original 5 PM deadline, when many polling stations had already closed and sealed their electronic voting machines. Senior judges have reportedly acknowledged procedural errors in handling the extension but ruled out annulling the election, according to Folha de S.Paulo.

Preciso, pulito, senza sbavature e senza tremare, nonostante fosse forse la gara più importante della sua carriera fin qui. Andrea Kimi Antonelli vince anche il Gp degli Usa, ad Austin, davanti alla Ferrari di Charles Leclerc e fa un altro enorme passo verso uno storico titolo mondiale, che riporterà al successo un italiano dopo 73 anni.

Il pilota Mercedes non è infatti aritmeticamente campione del mondo perché il compagno di squadra George Russell, con i quattro punti conquistati grazie all’ottavo posto, è a 123 punti di distacco da Antonelli con 125 ancora disponibili, sempre considerando Qatar e Abu Dhabi. Ancora virtualmente in corsa – anche se per un solo punto – anche Lewis Hamilton, che con il quarto posto sale a 241 punti, a 124 dal leader del Mondiale. Ad Antonelli serviranno solo 2 punti nel prossimo Gp del Messico per diventare campione. Sempre considerando che George Russell o Lewis Hamilton vincano.

Montes Claros City councilwoman Iara Pimentel was injured by a projectile at a campaign event

A politician from Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s party was injured when attackers threw stones and bottles at a campaign vehicle on the eve of Sunday’s crucial presidential runoff.

The violent incident came as Brazilians voted in a tightly contested election between left-wing incumbent Lula, who has championed closer ties with BRICS nations, and right-wing challenger and Donald Trump ally Flavio Bolsonaro.

Montes Claros City councilwoman Iara Pimentel, a member of Lula’s Workers’ Party (PT), was struck in the face during a campaign event late Saturday night in Minas Gerais state in southeastern Brazil, according to state news agency Agencia Brasil (ABr).

Video footage showed bottles, bricks, and other objects being thrown at the campaign vehicle carrying the politician. Later images showed her bloodied face.

She was taken to a local hospital by ambulance, ABr reported.

“Thinking differently is a right. Political violence is a threat to democracy. No disagreement can justify acts of aggression or put lives at risk,” Pimentel said in a statement cited by the agency.

Ana Elisa, a 21-year-old congresswoman-elect from Lula’s Workers’ Party representing Minas Gerais, condemned the attack and called for those responsible to be held accountable.

Lula also condemned what he described as multiple incidents of violence during the election.

“The most sacred thing in democracy is democratic coexistence in diversity,” he said, according to ABr, arguing that neighbors should be able to support different political candidates and sports teams or hold different beliefs without resorting to violence.

The assault occurred just hours before polls opened on Sunday and weeks after the close of the first round of Brazil’s presidential election on October 4. Lula received just over 45%, while 47% went to Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro – who is serving a 27-year prison sentence for plotting a coup following his 2022 election defeat. Trump has described the former president’s prosecution as a “witch hunt.”

The election has also been marred by allegations of interference by US tech giant Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Meta blocked the Facebook advertising account used by Lula’s team ahead of the first round on October 4, then prevented his official Instagram account from boosting posts days later, according to campaign officials.

Meta denied politically interfering in the election, but internal company messages acknowledged technical restrictions affecting Lula’s Instagram account, Folha de S.Paulo newspaper reported last week, citing internal communications.

The bloc’s leaders rushed to congratulate the student-led opposition on its projected victory before the official vote count was complete

Serbia’s student-led opposition is leading in Sunday’s snap parliamentary election, according to preliminary results. Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has accused unnamed European powers and anti-Trump forces in the US of meddling in the vote to “bring down a sovereign country.”

According to preliminary results published by the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) early Monday, the opposition Student List leads with 51.84% of the vote, compared with 39.77% for Vucic’s United Serbia coalition, with nearly 93% of polling stations reporting.

The official figures have moved closer to the final projection by pollster Ipsos and election monitor CeSID overnight, which put the Student List at 52.9% and Vucic’s coalition at 38.8%, based on their stratified sample.

In his remarks earlier on election night, Vucic accused foreign powers of helping engineer his political downfall, describing the vote as the “verification of a revolution” carried out with direct support from “various European countries and the American deep state,” which he said was opposed to US President Donald Trump.

“I congratulate them, although they are merely the executors, the executors of dirty work devised by someone else to bring down a sovereign country,” Vucic said, referring to the student-led opposition.

“You have succeeded for the moment. For how long? We shall see,” he added.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa were quick to congratulate the Student List, issuing virtually identical statements on X. Both pledged Brussels’ support for reforms and efforts to advance Serbia’s integration into the EU.

Vucic also warned that a new government could impose sanctions on Russia within months, despite opposition representatives insisting that Belgrade’s policy toward Moscow would remain unchanged.

Read more

The former Serbian leader nevertheless pledged to respect the electorate’s decision and continue his political struggle from the opposition, dismissing speculation that he would flee the country.

“I love Serbia. I will never leave Serbia,” Vucic declared, insisting that his party would remain united and politically active.

The election follows nearly two years of political unrest sparked by the deadly collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad in November 2024, which killed 16 people and fueled allegations of corruption and failures in safety oversight. Vucic resigned as president on September 27 to participate in the parliamentary race.

The Ukrainian leader has worked against the US president’s interests and pocketed American taxpayer money, the senior Russian official has said

Vladimir Zelensky’s disregard for Donald Trump is doing more damage to the US president’s interests than Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela do combined, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday.

Ukraine’s leader has publicly backed Trump’s predecessor and former political rival, Joe Biden, rejected US proposals to settle the Ukraine conflict and worked to turn European leaders against Trump, Medvedev alleged.

“The Kiev scumbag regularly spits straight in the face of the US president, ignoring his demands and turning influential Americans (and not-so-influential Europeans) against him,” Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said in a Telegram post. 

He said that Zelensky “shamelessly lined his own pockets with American taxpayer money” under Biden, who Trump says provided Ukraine with some $350 billion in US aid. “And he kept dipping into the pot under Trump, too, taking whatever was left,” Medvedev added.

The Ukrainian “cozied up to Mexican drug cartels” by providing drone warfare training in exchange for proceeds from drug sales in the US, he alleged.

Zelensky has also “given the American president the finger” by refusing to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries despite Trump’s repeated warnings.

There is a growing rift between Trump and Zelensky over Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries. The US president has demanded that Ukraine stop, accusing it of exacerbating the global fuel crisis and raising prices for Americans – a sensitive issue ahead of the November 3 US midterms. Kiev has thus far refused.

Read more

Zelensky has also accused Washington of temporarily restricting intelligence sharing and access to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network, which Ukraine uses for battlefield communications and drone operations.

To ease the fuel crisis, Trump temporarily waived sanctions on Russian fuel exports as part of a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Under the agreement, Moscow agreed to supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, another 500,000 tons in November and further shipments thereafter. The first three tankers carrying Russian diesel are already heading across the Atlantic, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Friday.
