Daniele Mari reported Marotta's statements, according to which Inter had achieved its third domestic Double and had strengthened its financial situation off the field. Marotta said that the arrival of Oaktree had accelerated the recovery and that the balance sheet showed revenues exceeding 500 million euros, a net profit, decreasing financial charges compared to the previous fiscal year, and capital that had returned to positive. He added that the club would continue to seek a balance between sustainability and sporting competitiveness. Marotta also announced that Inter would soon share the project for the new stadium in Milan, described as a privately-owned facility designed to increase revenues and reduce the gap with the top European clubs. #Inter #Calcio #Finanza (translated)

The author revisited an April post, saying the gap in public understanding of large language model capabilities had widened and had become more like a “sharp funnel” than two groups talking past each other. They estimated that roughly 6 billion people, or about 75% of the population, had “barely come” to something; the post ended before completing that thought.

Federico Albano wrote that Ferrari had been very quick with the medium tires, but in SQ3 they lost the necessary tenths to fight for pole when it was crucial to extract the maximum from the tires and especially from the engine. In his view, the car was competitive in various phases and direction changes, but it lost speed on the straights due to aerodynamic drag and low power. He added that the gap to Mercedes and Red Bull increased on the straights and decreased in parts of the mixed sections. Albano called Leclerc's lap “super” and wrote that Hamilton had risked everything in SQ3 but had made several mistakes. Until that moment, according to him, Lewis seemed to have an even better pace than Charles, but the Monegasque finished with two very strong laps. The author attributed pole to Verstappen, noting it had yet to be confirmed, and described Red Bull as the strongest team at the moment. According to his analysis, the car was very fast on the straights, stable in the mixed sections, and capable of limiting losses in slow corners. Verstappen had gained 0.3 seconds on Leclerc already at the end of the first sector, all on the straights, Albano wrote. In his opinion, Red Bull had found the right setup, and the data reminded him of 2022: the car had less downforce, but Verstappen's driving style hid the effect, while speed on the straights remained decisive. Albano described Mercedes as disappointed: Russell had clocked 0.5 seconds faster than Antonelli, but the update package, which he described as extensive, costly, and awaited, was not working. He added that Kimi had also refused the new wing. According to the data he examined, the front end was no longer functioning well, exhibiting understeer in medium-speed corners and difficulty turning the car in slow corners; the increase in aerodynamic drag also hindered deployment. Albano wrote that Antonelli struggled even under braking because he no longer trusted the front end and that, despite the differences between the Singapore and Sepang tracks, what he had seen so far reminded him of the same script. According to Albano, McLaren was not far off but had disappointed in terms of track characteristics and seemed to struggle with a lack of grip, especially when maximum performance was needed. He noted that Ferrari and McLaren, on one side, and Red Bull and Mercedes, on the other, were developing different concepts that ended up producing similar characteristics, except for the Mercedes updates, which in his view were not working. Finally, Albano wrote that the sprint would show whether those cars would be able to create overtaking opportunities or if the race would turn into a train, awaiting the decisive qualifying for Sunday. #Formula1 #SingaporeGP #Motorsport (translated)

Federico Albano wrote that, in the first free practice session of the Singapore Grand Prix, the balance on a dry lap was still difficult to assess, also because the track was at 50°C. He noted very small gaps: in the second sector, the top three were separated by 0.017 seconds. Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes, according to him, seemed to have a good baseline setup. Albano reported that Mercedes looked more comfortable with George Russell, both in terms of times and feelings, although the English driver had some rigidity issues. Andrea Kimi Antonelli, with the new package, had good overall balance but seemed to have little front grip; using soft tires in qualifying could have made the problem less evident, as he had run with hard and medium tires in practice. The Ferrari SF-26 seemed competitive in terms of pace as well, with Lewis Hamilton slightly heavier but with contained differences. Albano found Charles Leclerc's feedback very positive both in the last lap and in the pace simulations, adding that it would be important to understand how much the rivals would increase power in qualifying. According to Albano, McLaren was showing the expected performance, without the misleading impression of soft tires seen in Malaysia, and seemed effective under braking. Red Bull, on the other hand, was difficult to assess because it was engaged in testing and still far off; in his opinion, it could use the Sprint as a practice session and reveal its potential later. He finally predicted a competitive and entertaining qualifying session. #Formula1 #SingaporeGP #Motorsport (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Sergejs Muļivanovs, whom he described as a pro-Kremlin activist, had previously organized street actions in Riga and had gone to the Cabinet of Ministers with posters. Kasems claimed that Muļivanovs had participated in a conference at the Moscow Institute of CIS Countries, where, according to him, the future of the indigenous peoples of the Baltic States was discussed in the event of the region's occupation. According to Kasems, Muļivanovs has not returned to Latvia after moving to Russia and obtained Russian citizenship in 2024. He pointed out that Ruslans Pankratovs had been looking for Muļivanovs, but publicly available Russian court databases contained a record of a person with the same full name being detained on April 3 under article 159 of the Russian Criminal Code for fraud. Kasems added that in the case materials, the suspect was described as someone who had recently obtained citizenship and was officially unemployed in Russia, and claimed that fraud could carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Kasems sarcastically asked whether Muļivanovs' supporters would act on the principle of "not leaving their own behind" and suggested that the detention could be an attempt to force him to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense and send him to war. He also noted that he had anticipated Allas Berezovska's reaction to the detention, but according to him, she had not written about this case. #vatņiki #krievija #nvsInstitūts #propaganda #muļivanovs #krievija #vatņiki #nvsInstitūts (translated)
