Zhou Guanyu snubbed both Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher when revealing his childhood Formula 1 icon. There is much interest in the Alfa Romeo driver this season, not least because he is the only current rookie in the sport. But the 23-year-old is also the first Chinese racer ever to take part in the series, and is helping to bring more attention to F1 as a whole from his homeland. He was still very young when he made the tough decision to leave, despite having begun karting as an eight-year-old living near Shanghai. Aged just 12 when he migrated to the UK, it was a move he made solely to pursue the dream he is now living. Zhou has now revealed that it was not Hamilton or Schumacher who he revered as a youngster watching F1, but another world champion. Asked by AS which driver he followed most closely in his youth, he did not hesitate in answering: " Fernando Alonso ." He added: "I was just more of a fan.

15 Classic Summer-Camp Movies, Ranked
Photo: Maya Robinson and Photos by Columbia Pictures, Focus Features, Eureka Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Disney Even if you spent your summers on the couch watching reruns of The Price Is Right with your babysitter Sonia who smelled like sweat and cheese balls stuck in braces instead of going to summer camp, everyone knows what camp feels like, thanks to the tons of summer-camp movies and TV shows (remember Salute Your Shorts ?) that we’ve seen over the years. With summer fully here, we thought it time we revisit some of those camps. What makes a summer-camp movie great has less to do with the experience of applying bug spray and learning to swim in the lake, and more to do with celebrating childhood, rebellion, groups of scrappy outsiders pitted against the more popular, and like-minded people banding together to make something impossible and wonderful happen. (Most of them have first kisses, too, thanks to all those girlfriends at summer camp that the other kids … [Read more...] about 15 Classic Summer-Camp Movies, Ranked

Falling gas prices may be short-lived, AAA warns
Wholesale gas prices are falling, but experts are warning Americans about getting too excited ahead of the summer driving season. "Domestic gasoline demand dipped recently, which took some of the pressure off of pump prices. About 80% of stations are now selling regular for under $5 a gallon," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a Tuesday blog post. He continued, "But July is typically the heaviest month for demand as more Americans hit the road, so this trend of easing prices could be short-lived." Over the past week, the national average of gasoline fell to $4.80 a gallon, four cents less than a month ago, AAA added. In June, gas prices peaked at a $5 record high as increased demand outpaced already tight global supply. On Tuesday, Bloomberg 's Steven Dennis reported that prices were down nearly 30 cents—a figure that falls in line with what Neil Dutta, head of economics at research firm Renaissance Macro, projected to Axios last week. Texas and Delaware have seen … [Read more...] about Falling gas prices may be short-lived, AAA warns
