Lewis Hamilton felt crushed after his car struck a groundhog during Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver hit the animal on lap 13 of the Montreal race. The crash left a hole in his SF-25 car's floor. Hamilton finished sixth place after the damage slowed him down. His team said the hole cost him about half a second each lap for the rest of the race.
The 40-year-old driver cares deeply about animals and follows a vegan diet. Hamilton called the groundhog's death horrible and devastating. He never saw the animal before hitting it but heard about the crash from his team. The seven-time world champion said he hoped the groundhog did not suffer. He added that nothing like this had happened to him at this track before.

TSMC started taking orders for its 2nm wafers but chips won't arrive until late next year. Apple jumped on the chance to use this new tech first with its A20 processor. The company plans to make the A20 using WMCM packaging technology. Only the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and Apple's foldable phone will use this advanced chip.
Apple won't add more RAM to any iPhone model that comes with the A20 processor. The WMCM packaging helps Apple keep the chip small but pack more power inside. Engineers can combine different parts like the CPU and GPU at the wafer level before cutting them into separate chips. This method creates smaller processors that use less battery but run faster than before.
China Times says the A20 will power the...
