Kush Maini storms to pole at F2 Miami debut

Published by Webster

Kush Maini took pole position at the FIA Formula 2 Championship’s debut race weekend in Miami on May 1-3 at the Miami International Autodrome. The championship arrived in Miami under unusual circumstances after the cancellations of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia rounds, which created a relatively even playing field for all teams and drivers early in the season. With Formula 2 racing at the Miami International Autodrome for the first time, drivers entered the weekend with very little prior knowledge of the new circuit. Maini looked comfortable from the start. He finished second in practice, just 0.016 seconds behind Colton Herta, and stayed inside the top five throughout the 30-minute qualifying session, showing strong and consistent pace as he quickly adapted to the track. In qualifying, the ART Grand Prix driver delivered a superb final lap, setting a time of 1:39.888 to take the Aramco Pole Position Award. He finished ahead of Rafael Camara by 0.033 seconds, while Martinius Stenshorne took third place, just 0.050 seconds behind, in an extremely tight session. Maini joined ART …

3 min readMar 24, 2026 12:28 PM IST Six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek announced the end of her coaching partnership with Wim Fissette following a disappointing early exit at the Miami Open, signalling a fresh chapter in her career after a challenging start to the 2026 season. Fissette, who joined Swiatek’s team in October 2024, played a key role during a period of notable success. Under his guidance, the Polish star captured her maiden Wimbledon title in 2025, and also added WTA titles in Seoul and Cincinnati. Despite those highs, the partnership struggled to maintain momentum into 2026. Swiatek has yet to progress beyond the quarter-finals in any of the four tournaments she has played this season, a dip in form that culminated in a shock second-round defeat at the Miami Open,where she was beaten by compatriot Magda Linette, currently ranked world number 50. The loss was particularly striking as it ended a remarkable streak – Swiatek had not lost her opening match in a WTA event for 74 consecutive tournaments when receiving a …

Movie Review: In ‘The Rip,’ cops both good and dirty find millions in cash

Movie Review: In ‘The Rip,’ cops both good and dirty find millions in cash

Published by Parlour News

Lines between cop and criminal get murky in Joe Carnahan’s “The Rip,” a crime thriller set across one foggy Miami night, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Movie Review: In ‘The Rip,’ cops both good and dirty find millions in cash Damon and Affleck, of course, are so closely associated with Boston — most recently they produced the 2024 heist movie “The Instigators” there — that a detour to South Florida puts them, a little awkwardly, in an entirely different movie landscape. This is “Miami Vice” territory or Elmore Leonard Land, not Southie or “The Town.” In “The Rip,” they play Miami narcotics officers who come upon a cartel stash house that Lt. Dane Dumars says may have $150,000 hidden in the walls. It turns out to be more than $20 million, though, and their mission immediately turns from a Friday afternoon smash-and-grab into an imminent siege where no one can be trusted. “The Rip,” which debuts Friday on Netflix, is a lean and potent-enough neo-noir where almost all the characters are police officers, yet …
