Daniel Ricciardo took only little comfort in his team mate’s win in today’s Spanish GP, feeling disappointed by the fact that his race was determined by the least productive strategy call of two available options.

Ricciardo and Red Bull opted for a three-stop strategy which even Pirelli acknowledged as the fastest plan in the 66 lap race, and while he did indeed to appear in the running for a win, the plan of action felt short of the Australian’s expectation.

Adding insult to injury, the Red Bull driver suffered a puncture on the penultimate lap  as he was locked in a superb battle for a podium finish with Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.

“Obviously in hindsight it [the strategy] was the wrong thing to do,” explained a frustrated Ricciardo.

“When you are leading the race, to then say alright let’s still try and win but pass three cars, when you don’t have the quickest car down the straight, and it is not the easiest place to overtake. I am not really sure why that was the case today.

“So mixed emotions to be not even anywhere on the podium, it sort of sucks, and then the puncture at the end just put salt into the wounds. So, yeah, so it is quite frustrating.”

Despite his clear disappointment, and in light of his team mate’s victory, Ricciardo was quick to praise Max Verstappen for his maiden Grand Prix triumph.

“I mean, sure, it is every man for himself out there, and I am bitter right now. Not bitter obviously with Max, not at all, he did what he had to do. But I am just bitter at the situation.

“Max did the job today and got the win. Obviously a big accomplishment for him in his first race with the team.

“Once again, when he came into F1, everyone questioned it. And then the moves [to Red Bull] during the week, they questioned it, but he proved today that he is a top class driver.”

Vous ne savez pas quoi regarder ce soir ? La Rédaction d’AlloCiné vous indique les films et séries à voir à la télé. Au programme : la lutte contre l’homophobie vue par Roland Emmerich, une semi-autobiographie de Bukowski et les mamans fêtent Noël.

« Permis de mater »

Stonewall de Roland Emmerich avec Jeremy Irvine, Jonny Beauchamp (Ciné + Emotion, 20h50) : “Le réalisateur d’Independence Day et 2012 délaisse un temps la SF pour un drame plus posé évoquant les événements de Stonewall. Ceux qui, une nuit de 1969, ont vu le soulèment de gays, lesbiennes et transgenres face à l’oppression de la police dans un quartier de New York. Si la fiction développée autour de son héros – un lycéen homosexuel rejeté par sa famille trouve refuge auprès d’un groupe LGBT – manque cruellement d’originalité dans son traitement, le film brille dans sa retranscription de la montée de la colère face à l’injustice. Un film fiévreux animé par des acteurs bouillonnants dont la révélation Jonny Beauchamp.” Caroline Langlois

Barfly Bande-annonce VO

Barfly de Barbet Schroeder avec Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway (Ciné + Club, 20h50) : “Fan inconditionnel de Charles Bukowski, Barbet Schroeder a mis des années avant de réaliser le script écrit par l’écorché vif : Barfly. Mickey Rourke, alors au sommet de sa gloire, prête ses traits à l’un des nombreux avatars de Bukowski. Face à lui, l’icône des seventies qui vit dans les années 1980 un passage à vide, Faye Dunaway. Le metteur en scène signe une oeuvre sur le jusqu’au-boutisme de l’ivresse et de la destruction de soi à travers des nuits blanches au cœur de bars mal éclairés. Conseil : il vaut mieux regarder ce film quand le moral est au top !” Octavie Delaunay

Bad Moms 2 Bande-annonce VO

Bad Moms 2 de Scott Moore, Jon Lucas avec Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell (Canal + Décalé, 20h55) : “Les Bad Moms sont de retour pour fêter Noël, mais, lasses de devoir sans cesse tout organiser, elles choisissent plutôt de s’amuser. Cette comédie décomplexée un peu trash reprend la thématique du 1er film, c’est du déjà-vu, c’est cliché, l’humour (principalement en dessous de la ceinture) n’est pas très fin, mais on passe néanmoins un bon moment. A voir pour se détendre.” Laetitia Forhan

LIVE: Monaco Grand Prix

November 28, 2019 | News | No Comments

Follow F1i’s live, as-it-happens coverage of the 2016 Formula One Monaco Grand Prix!

It’s time for one of the absolute highlights of the entire season, a race which is so much of a part of the sport’s DNA code that the very sight of the iconic street circuit is enough to get a true motorsport fans’s heart pumping that bit quicker even before the lights go out for the sixth Grand Prix of 2016.

  • LIVE: Monaco Grand Prix – FP3

Right from the first free practice sessions on Thursday it’s been clear that Monaco is likely to give us something just a little bit extra special this year, with Mercedes no longer looking invincible. While Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton insist they’ve moved on from their unfortunate crash in Spain, a more serious problem has become clear to them: the sudden rise of Red Bull.

Daniel Ricciardo rocked the paddock by beating the Mercedes pair by over six tenths of a second on Thursday, and he then went on to clinch an emphatic pole position in qualifying on Saturday. He also played a strategy card by making his fastest Q2 run on supersoft tyres which should have been the set he was able to start the race itself on – but heavy rain on Sunday morning has put a spanner in the works if everyone is required to start on wet tyres instead.

Rosberg seemed happy enough with the second front row position for today’s race, but Hamilton looked distinctly unimpressed with third place after his his final qualifying lap was disrupted by a fuel pressure issue. He’s in a precarious position for the start, as he’ll have to make sure he doesn’t make contact with Rosberg into Ste Devote while not giving away position to Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel who starts from fourth place.

Alternating Force India/Toro Rosso drivers fill out the next two rows with Nico Hulkenberg impressing in fifth place alongside Carlos Sainz, and Sergio Perez set to start alongside Daniil Kvyat. Kvyat was the subject of a stewards’ investigation last night after the floor of his car failed post-qualifying technical inspection, but the team argued that it was due to damage after he hit the kerbs in Q3. The stewards accepted that excuse – this time – meaning Kvyat keeps his eighth place on the grid ahead of McLaren’s Fernando Alonso and Williams’ Valtteri Bottas.

Kimi Raikkonen is out of position in 11th place after being handed a five-place grid penalty as a result of Ferrari having to change his gearbox on Saturday. Also out of position is Red Bull’s Max Verstappen who hit the barriers in Q1 before he was able to set a time. Repairs to the driver safety cell mean that he will have to start from the pit lane, as will Sauber’s Felipe Nasr whose engine let go at the start of qualifying.

With the added element of the rain, today should prove to be one of the livlier and more exciting Monaco Grand Prix events. Overtaking is tough here but both Raikkonen and Verstappen will be on a charge. And as for what happens up front between Ricciardo, Rosberg, Hamilton and Vettel when the lights go out – well, that’s anyone’s guess!

It’s all scheduled to get underway at 2pm local time (1pm BST), and F1i will be right here bringing you all the latest news and information from trackside on F1i’s live page the minute that the action gets underway. Don’t miss a second!

Michel Aumont est décédé ce jeudi 29 août à 82 ans. Célèbre acteur de théâtre, il était apparu au cinéma dans beaucoup de seconds rôles et totalisait trois nominations aux César.

Après un passage au Conservatoire puis à la Comédie Française, Michel Aumont s’illustre sur les planches jusqu’à la moitié des années 70. La télévision fait ensuite appel à lui, principalement pour des adaptations de grandes pièces du répertoire classique. En parallèle, l’acteur fait ses débuts au cinéma en 1972 avec un rôle dans La Femme en bleu de Michel Deville.

Le flic par excellence

Lancé par ce dernier, l’acteur ne tarde pas à séduire les plus grands noms de la mise en scène, qui lui font souvent jouer des rôles de commissaires, tels Claude Chabrol pour Nada ou Claude Zidi pour La Course à l’échalote. On le voit aussi au générique du Jouet de Francis Veber, de Mort d’un pourri de Georges Lautner ou encore de Coup de tête de Jean-Jacques Annaud. Acteur de second plan particulièrement apprécié, également employé en homme politique ou homme de loi, Michel Aumont se fait un peu plus discret dans les années 80, apparaissant toutefois aux génériques des Compères de Francis Veber, en 1983, et d’Un dimanche à la campagne de Bertrand Tavernier un an plus tard.

L’acteur refait le commissaire en 1990 pour Ripoux contre ripoux et reçoit dix ans plus tard le titre d’Officier de la Légion d’Honneur. Variant les genres, il s’illustre ensuite en costumes dans le Beaumarchais, l’insolent d’Edouard Molinaro et poursuit sa riche collaboration avec Francis Veber, en le retrouvant pour ses réalisations des années 2000 (Le Placard, Tais-toi !, La Doublure). En 2004, il fait une apparition dans Clara et moi d’Arnaud Viard avant de se glisser dans la peau du chef du protocole, dans la comédie Palais royal ! de Valérie Lemercier l’année suivante.

Tous les rôles, tous les genres

Après deux années centrées sur le théâtre, l’acteur revient au cinéma grâce au drame dans lequel il interprète le père de Catherine Frot. Il s’oriente ensuite vers la télévision, enchaînant série (A droite toute) et téléfilms (Braquage en famille, La Reine morte). Après avoir participé à la comédie chorale Bancs publics (Versailles rive droite) de Bruno Podalydès, Michel Aumont s’essaye au thriller politique avec La Sainte Victoire, côtoyant ainsi Christian Clavier et Clovis Cornillac. L’année 2010 est une année chargée pour lui, l’acteur étant en moins d’un mois à l’affiche de deux comédies, Toutes les filles pleurent de Judith Godrèche, et Les Invités de mon père d’Anne Le Ny, ainsi que du film policier d’Alexandre Arcady, Comme les cinq doigts de la main, avec Patrick Bruel, Vincent Elbaz et Pascal Elbé au casting.

En phase avec la nouvelle génération

L’acteur refait un tour par la comédie quelques mois plus tard en incarnant le “so scottish” Sir Woolish dans Imogène McCarthery, avant de retrouver le drame, genre dans lequel il a commencé en reprenant Sophocle au théâtre. Il joue ainsi dans Un balcon sur la mer, puis Je m’appelle Bernadette, pour lequel il endosse le costume de l’abbé Peyramale aux prises avec Bernadette Soubirous, la miraculée de Lourdes. Définitivement à l’aise dans tous les registres, Michel Aumont se plaît à varier les genres, à l’instar d’un musicien faisant ses gammes. En 2012, l’un des derniers grands seigneurs du théâtre français n’hésite ainsi pas à participer au décomplexé La Clinique de l’amour ! et au très léger Paris Manhattan, pour lequel il retrouve Alice Taglioni et Patrick Bruel.

Ces dernières années, il était revenu au cinéma pour Olivier Baroux (On a marché sur Bangkok), Jean-François Davy (Vive la crise) et Patrice Gautier (Moi et le Che). Il avait enfin été le père de François Damiens dans la drôle de comédie Des nouvelles de la planète Mars.

Formula 1 starts Ultra HD TV trials

November 28, 2019 | News | No Comments

Formula 1 is finally moving into the ultra high definition arena following a conclusive trial at the Singapore Grand Prix and ahead of broadcasting the entire 2017 season in UHD.

Production and broadcasting last weekend was handled by F1 technical partner Tata in association with Sky, and included several state-of-the-art UHD cameras whose images were blended with those supplied by FOM’s Broadcast Centre.

“UHD offers four times higher resolution than HD, making F1 a more powerful, immersive experience for fans than ever before,” said Keith Lane, Sky’s director of operations.

“The success of this proof of concept in Singapore shows that we’re on track to show every race live in UHD next season using our next-generation Sky Q home entertainment service, and to continue to give our customers the action-packed F1 experiences that they crave.”

UHD requires superfast network connectivity, the backbone of which could also be used for Formula 1’s plans involving a Virtual Reality experience.

“Other game-changing technologies like Virtual Reality will rely on ubiquitous, superfast connectivity too,” explained Mehul Kapadia, the managing director of F1 business at Tata Communications.

“As the break-neck speed of technology innovation continues, we’ll work with Formula One Management to enable fans to experience the exhilarating world of F1 in new ways.”

Based on the pace Force India’s drivers had shown since the start of the weekend, Sergio Perez solid P5 qualifying performance came as no surprise this afternoon at Spa.

The Mexican put in a series of consistent runs in each segment, ending up just over two tenths behind second-row man Daniel Ricciardo while just edging out team mate Nico Hulkenberg.

“My lap was a good one,” said Perez.

“We got as much as we could out of the session: I made a small mistake at the end of my lap and I could have been about a tenth faster, but that’s all we lost.

“Q3 was a bit more difficult with the wind picking up, both my runs were not ideal but even if we had gotten the perfect lap I don’t think we could have beaten Ricciardo. I think we are in a really strong position for the race and I am really looking forward to tomorrow. “

REPORT: Rosberg edges out Verstappen and Raikkonen for pole at Spa

Perez is expecting a difficult start to his afternoon tomorrow however, as he will be launching his race on the fragile SuperSoft compound which are scheduled to last only a handful of laps if the weather remains hot.

Checo remains optimistic nevertheless, and resolute on extracting the most of the potential opportunity he believes he enjoys.

“Some of the cars ahead of me are starting on the soft tyre compound, which should be a big advantage for them, but we are still in good shape to get a strong result.

“It’s important tomorrow – and the rest of the year – to make sure we maximize the whole potential of the car.

“There will be a variety of strategies at play and I hope we can move forward, enjoy the battles and bring home some points.

“The hot weather is making it really difficult for everyone – you reach a point where you can’t go any further with the tyres.

“Strategy and making the right calls at the right time will be very important: you don’t want to be on the wrong tyres at the start of such a long lap because it’s going to cost you.”

While Force India appears to now have a firm upper hand over Williams, Perez believes the team should exclusively focus on itself and not its relative performance compared to its rivals.

“To be honest, we’re not really concerned about Williams. We’re basically focusing on ourselves and making sure that we maximize every single session.  Tomorrow will be an important race for the championship.”

There could be some good news on the way for thousands of ordinary depositors in the scam-hit Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative Bank (PMC) who had been running from pillar-to-post to get their money back.

This after the promoters of the now-bankrupt Housing Development and Infrastructure Limited (HDIL) has sought to sell off their assets, including a yacht, a Rolls Royce and an aircraft, to pay off the bank’s dues.

MEXICO CITY — 

Mexican authorities were seeking a high-level meeting with their U.S. counterparts Tuesday following President Trump’s revelation that Washington planned to designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

The statement — made by Trump in an interview with Bill O’Reilly, the former Fox News host — appeared to stun Mexican officials, who have already declared their opposition to the idea.

“Absolutely, they will be designated,” Trump said of the Mexican cartels, according to a transcript of the radio interview posted on O’Reilly’s website. “Look, we are losing 100,000 people a year to what is happening and what is coming through from Mexico.”

Trump’s comments came almost three weeks after gunmen in northern Mexico killed six children and three women, U.S. citizens and members of a Mormon fundamentalist group residing in Mexico’s Sonora state. Mexican officials have said that the victims may have been ambushed in a case of mistaken identity in a zone where rival drug gangs battle for turf.

Those killings highlighted the ongoing cartel violence that has cost tens of thousands of lives in Mexico in recent years.

Many in Mexico, however, worry that a formal U.S. designation of Mexican cartels as terrorist groups could lead to greater U.S. interference in Mexico’s internal affairs.

“Mexico will not allow any action that signifies violation of its national sovereignty,” Mexico’s foreign secretary, Marcelo Ebrard, said Tuesday in a Twitter message following Trump’s comments. “Mutual respect is the basis of cooperation.”

Trump’s comments immediately ignited an uproar from Mexican lawmakers and other critics, while the country’s foreign ministry said that Ebrard was seeking to clarify the issue with U.S. Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo.

“Given the good relations that exist between both countries, the Government of Mexico will seek a high-level meeting as soon as possible to present the position of Mexico and to learn the points of view of authorities in the United States,” Mexico’s foreign ministry said in a statement Tuesday.

Mexican authorities have repeatedly stressed that illicit drugs shipped via Mexico are destined for the U.S. market and that guns and cash bound for cartels enter Mexico from U.S. territory.

The government of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador — a leftist who took office nearly a year ago — has maintained cordial relations with the Trump administration and has cooperated with Washington on a number of thorny bilateral issues, notably immigration.

It was unclear if the State Department — which is the U.S. government agency tasked with designating groups as “foreign terrorist organizations” — had yet alerted Congress of its intention to name Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups.
