Nico Rosberg was second behind team-mate Lewis Hamilton and was stopped in his tracks when he struck a drain cover in Monte Carlo.
Lewis Hamilton was quickest in an eventful first practice session at the Monaco Grand Prix which was cut short after Nico Rosberg ran over a loose drain cover and suffered a puncture.
Hamilton clocked one minute and 15.537 seconds at the glitzy principality on Thursday to top the timesheets ahead of team-mate Rosberg, who was 0.101secs slower.
Rosberg said his relationship with Hamilton has not been affected by a first-lap collision between the Mercedes duo which saw them crash out of the Spanish Grand Prix.
Championship leader Rosberg had another sinking feeling in Monte Carlo, where he was halted by a puncture late in the session after running over a drain cover.
And there was further drama, as the drain cover struck Jenson Button's McLaren and caused significant damage to the former world champion's front wing and prompted the red flags to be waved with three minutes remaining.
Sebastian Vettel was third-fastest in FP1, 0.419 off the pace, with Daniel Ricciardo and Spanish Grand Prix winner Max Verstappen fourth and fifth respectively for Red Bull.
Renault's Jolyon Palmer had a session to forget, sliding into a barrier after a mistake at the fast Tabac corner, and Felipe Massa crashed his Williams at Sainte Devote earlier in an action-packed session.

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name As the capital of the United States, Washington DC is not  one of the 50 states. It’s a “federal district,” hence “District of Columbia,” shortened to “D.C.” But that could soon change, as they are currently bidding for statehood . If that happened, Washington DC would become the 51st state, and its leaders would give it an entirely new name. That name could quite likely be “New Columbia,” an old name that was approved by voters in a 1982 referendum in which Washington DC tried for statehood. It originates from Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who is obviously a critical part of U.S. history. Washington, D.C. could have been renamed "Anacostia," but advocates for statehood chose "New Columbia." 󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦… Posted by International B...

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair?

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair? [Photo: Pexels] How often do you wash your hair? Once a day, every other day or as little as once a week? However often you might think your hair needs a good rinse, it’s probably not as much as you would expect.  We’ve all heard that whipping out the shampoo too often can make hair oily over time - but, of course, grease can also build up when locks aren’t washed regularly enough.  Most experts agree that we don’t need to be over zealous when it comes to washing our locks. So, what’s the right routine? “All hair is different but a general rule is not to over wash,” explains Lorraine Rose, founder of D&L Hair Products. “We tend to wash our hair for two reasons: Grease and smell. However, when hair is ‘never washed’ the smell does vanish after a period of time and the natural oils in the hair and scalp self-clean the hair.” And it’s a tried and tested theory. In 2012, blogger Lucy Aitke...

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote their new movie, The Nice Guys . In what was clearly a planned bit, Ryan claimed that his agent told him that Russell refused to do the movie unless Ryan would do it with him. Russell acted surprised by this information and then said he didn’t really need Ryan for the movie or the interview. The next few minutes of Gosling storming out — repeatedly — will go down as one of the most epic exits of all time! Gosling started by saying bye to everyone while tearing a piece of paper on Colbert’s desk, throwing a pen on the ground, grabbing a book off the shelf and placing it on the ground, and then finally exiting out the door. The former Sexiest Man Alive then walked behind the set and out another exit before reappearing with the band as he banged on a cowbell. Ryan continued “leaving” until Colbert handed a T-shirt gun to C...
