Lewis Hamilton is the driver with nothing left to prove, though strangely the one with most to prove. He has seven world titles, his position in the pantheon secured very close to the summit of greatness, and nothing that occurs at Ferrari will alter that fundamental assessment. But there is plenty of work to do if his last hurrah isn’t to turn into a damp squib. If he is to demonstrate that age has not rubbed off the crucial edge that set him apart. And there are elements so amateur at Ferrari that it is almost impossible to believe. They seriously underperformed in Melbourne last week.

Mainland Chinese student Vixie Zhao arrived from Beijing six months ago to start her master’s degree programme and the first thing she bought was an annual pass to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. A long-time Disney fan, the 23-year-old has been heading to the theme park at least once a week to study, rather than take in the attractions or ride the roller coasters. “The ambience here is so uplifting, it’s like being in a sanctuary and it helps you forget life’s worries,” she said. The trend of young people buying annual memberships to study in Disneyland took off in Shanghai last year, and has caught on with some mainland students in Hong Kong recently. They say it allows them to “do the most painful thing at the happiest place on

A SpaceX rocket exploded shortly after it was launched from Texas on Thursday, grounding flights and triggering warnings about falling spaceship debris. SpaceX confirmed the un-crewed ship had suffered “a rapid unscheduled disassembly” during its ascent into space, and lost contact with the ground. The massive SpaceX Starship, the largest rocket ever created, spun out of control shortly after its launch. No injuries or damage have been reported but images from those in Caribbean Sea island nations show fiery debris raining from the sky. This was the eighth mission to test the rocket, and its second consecutive failure. The 123m (403ft) spaceship was meant to re-enter Earth’s orbit over the Indian Ocean after a one-hour flight. Its Super Heavy booster, which helps it leave the ground, did manage successfully to

Trump will exempt automakers from the 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian goods for at least a month, the White House said. The exemption applies to vehicles that comply with the relatively complicated criteria set out in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. Moving an automotive supply chain takes a lot longer than a month, though, so this isn’t the end of the problem for car companies. President Donald Trump granted automakers a temporary reprieve from his newly announced tariffs Wednesday. The new 25% tariff on almost all imports from Mexico and Canada will not apply to automakers for at least one month, the White House said. It’s an important break for the industry, which has become ground zero for the tariff war. Trump’s press secretary said the decision was made
