  The numbers: Construction of new homes rose 1.9% in October, as builders amped up new projects.  The pace of construction increased as builders saw a pressing need for more housing units, with the resale market continuing to deal with a shortage.
  
  Housing starts rose to a 1.37 million annual pace from 1.35 million in October, the government said Friday. That’s how many houses would be built over an entire year if construction took place at the same pace every month as it did in October.

  Facing lackluster ticket sales, waning hotel room rates, and an unhappy Dutch driver, race and F1 owner Liberty Media lowered profit expectations for the event, which some had thought could be a bigger deal than the Super Bowl. After an opening ceremony that featured John Legend, fireworks, and elevated stages that made the drivers look like members of One Direction, Red Bull driver and world champion Max Verstappen called the race “99% show, 1% sporting event.”
