Formula One’s decision to expand Sprint races from six to 10 for the 2027 season marks a clear shift from experiment to strategy. What began in 2021 as a novelty to energise Grand Prix weekends is now being recast as a core commercial and sporting asset, even as questions remain over how to preserve competitive value without diluting the main event.
Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Max does not reinvent the company's pro phone, but it does sharpen nearly every important part of the experience. With a larger vapour chamber, the new A20 Pro chip and a second neural engine, the device signals Apple's next phase: less about visible redesign, more about sustained performance and on-device intelligence.
Hisense is leaning hard into India's fast-changing TV market with the E8S, a 65-inch Mini-LED model priced at Rs 76,990 that bundles premium display and audio features usually associated with pricier rivals. In early hands-on use, the TV stands out for strong contrast, useful anti-reflective treatment, capable built-in sound and a feature set aimed at movies, streaming and gaming alike.
Teenagers Saishiva Sankaran and Bhuvan Bonu continued their dominant runs in the MRF Indian National Racing Challenge 4W-2026, winning the Formula 2000 and Formula 1600 races respectively at the Madras International Circuit on Saturday.

Vijay Dahiya has returned as Delhi coach with a blunt assessment of the side's biggest problem: the longer format. The former wicketkeeper-batter says the team must change its mentality, rebuild around its strengths and start creating fresh memories rather than leaning on past glory.
Formula 1's 2027 calendar has confirmed 24 races across five continents, but the bigger shift is structural: Sprint weekends will rise from six to 10. The move reflects F1's continuing effort to turn every day of a Grand Prix weekend into a high-stakes product, even as the format's evolution has raised questions about tradition, clarity and competitive integrity.
The second round of the MRF Indian National Racing Challenge will bring eight races to the Madras International Circuit this weekend, with the two MRF Formula classes — F2000 and F1600 — expected to anchor the action. A 51-car entry list, a strong saloon-car contingent and a rematch between teenage champions Saishiva Sankaran and Ishaan Madesh add depth to a compact but competitive programme.
Television host Chris Hansen has sharply criticised A24's new crime thriller "Primetime," saying the film's portrayal of his work on "To Catch a Predator" is "detached from reality" and questioning the point of the project. Hansen also described Robert Pattinson's performance as "overly dramatic," even as the film arrives framed not as a strict biopic but as a story merely "inspired by true events."
Deepak Kumar Mishra's 'The Vvaan: Force of the Forest' arrives with a timely premise about ecological preservation, political corruption and the cost of development, but the film's execution is weighed down by soap-opera melodrama, repetitive scares and uneven tonal shifts.
