Scott Dixon ran into the back of Grosjean just minutes after the first heat began on the 17-turn, 3.067-mile raceway.

Experts agree that an airline's proposal to test volunteers to get better estimates of a flight's weight before taking off is 'long overdue,' as tourists note there should be a 'fat levy' for larger flyers. With its study into how much passengers weigh and carry on board with heavy coats and carry-on luggage, Finnair has divided readers and consumer rights experts. Rather than relying on European standard weights, the company told MailOnline that it is gathering "accurate data for aircraft stability and balance estimates" that are "critical for the safe operation of flights."

IT sounds like a question more akin to a joke you might find in a Christmas cracker: How many council workers does it take to fill a pothole? However, the answer in one particular case in Edinburgh has sparked outrage, and it is unquestionably no laughing matter. We can't believe it took eight people the equivalent of two-and-a-days - at a cost to taxpayers of around £3,500 - to fix one defect in the city's roads this year. A fleet of six vehicles, including 18 and 7.5 ton lorries, a Ford Ranger, Ford Transit, a new 'goods vehicle,', and a JCB 'Pothole Pro' machine were all sent to work in Edinburgh's Old Dalkeith Road.

Firms will have to demonstrate that they are acting in the customer's best interest by providing them with clear information, prompt customer service, and tariffs that fit their needs under the Financial Conduct Authority's Consumer Duty legislation. It's unclear how effective the City auditor's rules would be at compeling companies to abandon their legislation. The good news is that customers will have a new weapon to add to their armoury if they are fighting with financial companies over shoddy service or unfair rates. We'll tell you what the policies mean for you and how your rights are changing.

Will Power, the reigning IndyCar champion, shoved Scott Dixon after the two were involved in a collision on Saturday that severely damaged both cars during training at Road America. Dixon, the six-time IndyCar champion, had turned around and re-entered track ahead of Romain Grosjean and Power.

The two vehicles deviated off track and Power slammed into a concrete wall. Both vehicles were severely damaged, and they were only able to restore them after qualifying.

Britons going on holiday this summer will face major disruption in their travel as Heathrow workers are expected to walk out every weekend from July to August.

Pre-paid cards aren't always the most cost-effective way to invest abroad, with sneaky exchange fees and charges for dormant accounts. When returning from their trips in the last year, Britons also had an average of £78 on the menu.

Pay-as-goal parking kiosks are quickly disappearing from British city streets, with councils directing drivers to pay by smartphone apps, meaning they can no longer pay in cash. Michelle O'Malley (right) from Doncaster was fined £250 for using the parking app incorrectly.

The card, which was launched by start-up company Sibstar in collaboration with Mastercard and the Alzheimer's Society, is likely to appeal if someone has early stage dementia and isn't ready to hand over complete control of their finances. Customers with dementia are encouraged to designate a 'assistant' who will have joint responsibility of monitoring spending on the Sibstar smartphone app.

Councils have been accused of failing to repair potholes properly as it was claimed that the majority of citizens were using a temporary 'throw and go' approach to fix them. Potholes have resurfaced months – or even weeks – after being repaired, and motorcyclists and cyclists alike. This is because of councils' reliance on a quick 'throw and go' repair, where the affected ground is not removed or repaired before tarmac is applied to fill it.
