F1 Qualifying Shock: George Russell bounced back to pole in Barcelona, 0.064s ahead of Lewis Hamilton, while Kimi Antonelli qualified third after an FIA probe into “erratic driving” during FP3. F1 Governance: FIA stewards also reviewed Antonelli’s “no battery” radio complaint, with Toto Wolff pointing to a tiny timing mistake in energy deployment. Monaco Tech Angle: LG Electronics is teaming with Arbitrum to automate programmatic ads using blockchain, aiming at a massive $679B ad market.
