Formula One Might Replace Ferrari's Home Grand Prix With New Race In Las Vegas

“I don’t think we have to have an Italian Grand Prix,” misguided elf-king of Formula One and infinitely wrong man Bernie Ecclestone told The Daily Mail. Tifosi, it’s time to get out those pitch forks and torches. Monza—historic wonderland and Ferrari’s home race Monza—could be replaced by Las Vegas.

Ecclestone told The Daily Mail that the organizers for a new grand prix in Las Vegas already have a contract with F1. However, he explained that they’re not looking to add any more races to the schedule, so one will have to move:

What is that small pocket on jeans for?

On their blog, Levi Strauss & Co. explain the pocket and its function:

“The first blue jeans had four pockets—only one in back and, in the front, two plus the small, watch pocket. Originally included as protection for pocket watches, thus the name, this extra pouch has served many functions, evident in its many titles: frontier pocket, condom pocket, coin pocket, match pocket and ticket pocket, to name a few.”

Upstart GENESIS Brand Aims Straight At The Germans With Plans To Build A Supercar!

Mercedes-AMG has the GT coupe, Audi has the R8 and BMW has the i8, and now it seems Hyundai’s upstart Korean prestige brand, Genesis, is interested in developing a rear-drive tyre-shredding supercar too.

The Hyundai-owned company plans to roll out four passenger vehicles and two SUVs over the next five years but the car that will really put the fledgling brand on the map is a supercar.

The man who oversees all new car designs for the Genesis car brand, former Audi stylist Peter Schreyer, revealed that a hard-core halo car was on the agenda for the company but that “all these things take a little bit of time”.

It's Not Dead, It's Way Too Diluted

Is AMG dead? 

Big changes are afoot in Affalterbach, even if it's all about perspective.

The first sign that trouble was afoot was at the release of the renamed and facelifted SLC-Class recently. Out was the SLK55 AMG with its naturally-aspirated 5.5 liter V8 pumping out 415hp and almost as much torque, and in came the SLC43 with a bi-turbo 3.0 liter V6 engine with 362hp and 384lb-ft. Even more brutal is that the new GLE43 Coupe uses that same engine. It's a gigantic coupe-shaped SUV that somehow gets to be an AMG when equipped with its base engine in the US - an engine that, in a car that big, honestly should be its base engine.

Now that these marketing folks had gotten their first sweet taste of titillating buyers with AMG scribbled on the back of (and about 20 other places on) regular old Benzes, personally I think they just couldn't help themselves. Just as Cadillac has V-Sport, BMW has M-Sport, Lexus has F-Sport, and Audi has the letter S, Mercedes marketing too had crossed over to the dark side of badge-fluffing.

You Tell Em' Geno!

Geno Auriemma rebuffs critics who say UConn’s dominance is bad

Hall of Fame Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma took some time at his team’s pregame press conference for its matchup against Texas in the Elite Eight to address questions about whether UConn’s dominance of women’s college basketball is bad for the game.

Addressing the question that he and his player have often faced during the school’s current 72-game winning streak, Auriemma said that he doesn’t see how his team’s strong play is hurting the sport.

“When Tiger [Woods] was winning every major, nobody said he was bad for golf,” Auriemma said via ESPN. “Actually he did a lot for golf. He made everybody have to be a better golfer. And they did. And now there's a lot more great golfers because of Tiger.”

A New Way To Eat It On The Go

How To Make An In-N-Out Breakfast Burrito

The ingredients for one extremely filling burrito are simple:

• 4x4 In-N-Out Burger
• 4 Eggs
• Fries
• Extra Cheese
• Side of spread

Chop up the 4x4, mix it in with some eggs, throw another slice of cheese in there and give the entire thing a low-heat soft scramble on your skillet. You don't want to burn anything, this process will take a couple minutes on the stove.

In the mean time, get your tortilla of choice (over-sized), smear the spread all over, give a bottom layer of french fries, then top it all with your 4x4 burger mixture. After you wrap up the magic, I like to throw the entire burrito back on the skillet for a good browning on both sides.
