Résumé rapide

L'ancien pilote de Formule 1 Antônio Pizzonia a été arrêté aux États-Unis à la suite d'une altercation physique lors d'une compétition de karting. L'incident a eu lieu le samedi 10 janvier, dans le comté de Montgomery, au Texas.

Pizzonia assistait à la Superkarts USA Winter Series au Speedsportz Racing Park, où son fils de 12 ans participait. L'ancien pilote est intervenu dans une dispute impliquant son fils, ce qui a abouti à ce que Pizzonia frappe un autre homme. À la suite de l'incident, Pizzonia a été détenu et placé en garde à vue par les autorités texanes mais a été libéré quelques heures plus tard.

Concernant l'événement, Pizzonia a déclaré : "De fato houve um episódio do qual, hoje, eu teria reagido de forma diferente." Il a expliqué qu'il croyait que son fils était coercé par un adulte et a agi instinctivement pour le défendre.

L'incident au Speedsportz Racing Park

L'altercation s'est produite lors d'un événement de karting compétitif impliquant l'enfant de l'ancien pilote. Antônio Pizzonia était présent au Speedsportz Racing Park pour soutenir son fils, qui participait à la Superkarts USA Winter Series.

Des preuves visuelles de la scène dépeignent une confrontation entre un homme et le fils de Pizzonia. Selon les images, Pizzonia a couru vers l'individu et a asséné un coup de pied suivi d'un coup de poing. À la suite du coup initial, l'altercation s'est poursuivie alors que Pizzonia et l'homme restaient engagés dans une dispute verbale tandis que d'autres personnes tentaient d'intervenir.

La séquence des événements a conduit à l'intervention des forces de l'ordre locales. Les autorités au Texas ont détenu Pizzonia et l'ont traité suite à l'incident. Bien que les détails spécifiques de ce qui a précipité l'arrestation n'aient pas été immédiatement rendus publics, la confrontation physique a été la cause directe de l'intervention de la police.

Déclaration de Pizzonia sur les réseaux sociaux

Après sa libération, Antônio Pizzonia a utilisé les réseaux sociaux pour aborder la situation et fournir le contexte de ses actions. Il a souligné que sa réaction était motivée par le désir de protéger son enfant plutôt que par l'agressivité.

Dans sa déclaration, Pizzonia a dit : "Entendi naquele momento que meu filho, uma criança, estava sendo coagido por um outro adulto e instintivamente o defendi." Il a reconnu la gravité de l'incident mais a maintenu que sa motivation principale était la protection paternelle.

Il a ajouté : "De fato houve um episódio do qual, hoje, eu teria reagido de forma diferente." Cette réflexion suggère que bien qu'il soutienne son instinct de protection de son fils, il reconnaît que la réponse physique n'a peut-être pas été la meilleure ligne de conduite. Le pilote a noté que son fils a 12 ans.

Arrière-plan : Le « Jungle Boy » 🏎️

Antônio Pizzonia est un ancien pilote de course de Manaus, Amazonas, qui a concouru en Formule 1 au début des années 2000. Né le 11 septembre 1980, il a débuté sa carrière en F1 en 2003 en tant que pilote d'essai pour l'équipe Williams.

Plus tard en 2003, il a été engagé par Jaguar, où il a couru jusqu'en 2004. C'est lors de son passage chez Jaguar qu'il a gagné le surnom de "Jungle Boy." Il a participé à 11 courses avant d'être renvoyé de l'équipe. Il est ensuite retourné chez Williams pour remplacer Ralf Schumacher lors de quatre courses.

Concernant sa vie personnelle, Pizzonia a été marié à la championne olympique de saut en longueur Maurren Maggi entre 2003 et 2006, avec qui il a une fille. Il est également le père de deux autres enfants et réside actuellement aux États-Unis.

'Big Short' investor Michael Burry explains why he's betting against Nvidia, not Meta or Microsoft

Michael Burry Jim Spellman/WireImage Michael Burry says he's short Nvidia as it's especially exposed to what he sees as an AI bubble. The "Big Short" investor said Meta, Alphabet, and Microsoft are less at risk if the bubble bursts. Burry compared AI to electricity and warned the US not to bet the farm on power-hungry chips. Michael Burry says he's betting against Nvidia instead of Meta, Alphabet, or Microsoft because the chipmaker is particularly vulnerable to the AI boom ending in disaster. Nvidia is "simply the purest play," Burry wrote in a Substack post last weekend. The company has become "entirely dependent on hyperscaler spending, and I do not see how that math works," he continued. The investor of "The Big Short" fame, who pivoted from running a hedge fund to writing online late last year, added that Nvidia is likely to "sell $400 billion of its chips this year and there are less than $100 billion in application layer use cases." "Nvidia also is the most loved, and least doubted," Burry wrote. "So shorting it is cheap." Burry also name-checked CoreWeave, a provider of cloud services built for AI and a strategic partner of Nvidia, calling it the graphics-processor giant's "pet." Nvidia's stock price has surged 12-fold since the start of 2023, making the graphics-chip maker the world's most valuable public company with a $4.5 trillion market capitalization. Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Burry said that betting against Meta would mean he was "also shorting its social media/advertising dominance," and placing a wager against Alphabet would mean he was "shorting Google Search in all its forms, Android, Waymo, etc." He added that being short Microsoft would be tantamount to "shorting a global office productivity SaaS goliath," referring to the company's software-as-a-service tools, including Word and Excel. Those Big Tech titans aren't "pure shorts on AI" and have staying power, Burry wrote. "They will realize they should not be spending so much, write off assets, and possibly restate earnings," he said. "But they still are dominant companies globally away from the AI buildout." On the other hand, Burry said he would short OpenAI if it were a public company. He highlighted the ChatGPT maker's $500 billion valuation in October, which exceeds the market values of Johnson & Johnson, Bank of America, and Costco. Burry said he owns bearish put options on Oracle, and directly shorted the database company in the last six months. "I do not like how it is positioned or the investments it is making," he wrote, adding that the company, cofounded by tech billionaire Larry Ellison, is making unnecessary, inexplicable moves and "ego" might be the driver. Burry is famous for predicting and profiting from the collapse of the mid-2000s housing bubble, an episode of his career that was chronicled in the book and movie "The Big Short." He wrote on Substack that "technological obsolescence is on the menu as Nvidia now seems to introduce a new chip solution every year or less." That echoed a previous post in which he said Nvidia's Big Tech customers were overstating the lifespan of its chips to drag out their depreciation and flatter their short-term profits, raising the prospect of future writedowns. Burry also warned of trouble ahead, saying he's betting against AI stocks to "have the exposure on the right side when the music stops." Electricity and power Burry spoke about AI more broadly in his post, drawing a parallel between its rise and the history of electricity. He pointed out that building power plants and grids in the late 1980s and early 1990s required "massive upfront capital outlays," technological advances meant equipment such as transformers became quickly outdated and assets rapidly depreciated, and "cutthroat price warfare" between suppliers meant many ran into financial difficulties and were forced to merge with rivals. "What I see in electrification is very similar to what happened during the 2000 data transmission bubble and what I see happening with the AI bubble," he wrote. Burry said that electricity was as transformative to the modern world as a medicine that enables a patient to walk 10 feet, whereas AI "might be the anabolic steroid that allows superhuman feats of strength and ability," but could ultimately prove "more dangerous than anything." He also repeated his caution that if the US tries to win the AI race by going all-in on increasingly power-hungry chips, it will lose as China is ramping up its power-generation capacity much more quickly. "I see a big inventory problem in the AI buildout as a result of the current power generation setup," Burry said. Read the original article on Business Insider

Microsoft explains how it plans to keep energy prices down for Americans from its data center buildout

Donald Trump and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Microsoft unveiled a five-point plan to reduce AI data center impact on US communities. The company aims to reduce rising utility bills and reduce infrastructure strain from data centers. Microsoft also made commitments to local job creation and AI training for residents. Microsoft's AI data centers need a lot of energy — and it doesn't want Americans to foot the bill. In a five-point plan shared on Tuesday, the tech giant explained how it would minimize the impact of its data center buildout on residents. Microsoft's commitments include asking utility companies and state commissions to set its electricity rates high enough to cover the cost of its data centers and keep costs down for local residents. Data centers are essential for powering AI models, but they have been increasingly putting a strain on US infrastructure. Data centers drove up utility bills in at least 13 states, Business Insider previously reported. Microsoft's five commitments are: Ask utility companies to set higher rates to cover electricity costs Minimize water use and replenish more water than it withdraws Create data center jobs for residents Pay its "full share" of local property taxes for data centers Invest in AI training for locals On Monday, President Donald Trump teased the announcement, writing in a Truth Social Post that tech companies must "pay their own way" so Americans don't have higher utility bills. He added that Microsoft would be "first up," suggesting that announcements from other tech companies may follow. Read the original article on Business Insider
