Formula 1 continues to be rocked by the hugely controversial outcome of last season’s final lap title victory for Max Verstappen in Abu Dhabi still reverberating around the sporting world.

Now that Verstappen has broken his duck, he will be the man to beat and how Lewis Hamilton would love to instantly hit back and pick up his record-breaking 8th world championship title.

In the aftermath of the title win last year, F1 race director Michael Masi got the chop – with some of his decisions coming under scrutiny and change looks to be afoot in the administrative department of Formula 1.

How much that will impact on the runners and riders remains to be seen, with both Verstappen and his key title rival Lewis Hamilton having been outspoken about the previous F1 administrations.

Elsewhere, the emergence of George Russell has been a story all F1 fans have been tracking and in joining Mercedes, he looks to be a genuine candidate to push all the way next season too.

Formula 1 and NASCAR are both top-level motorsports, but that is where the similarity ends. They are like chalk and cheese in comparison. NASCAR is more about brute force and raw power, whereas Formula 1 focuses on finesse and overall driving skill. Despite the many differences between F1 and NASCAR, several F1 drivers have crossed over to NASCAR or at least want to jump into an American muscle car and blast it around an oval track.

The 2007 Formula One champion Kimi Raikkonen left Ferrari at the end of the 2009 season and turned his attention to rallying, making his debut at the Arctic Lapland Rally in January 2009. The Finn spent the next couple of years blasting around rally courses before trying his hand at NASCAR, starting with the Camping World Truck Series. His foray into NASCAR did not last overly long because he crashed Robby Gordon Motorsports’ car during testing, and a deal fell through. Raikkonen would have raced at the Toyota/Save Mart 350 had he not had had his accident.

Montoya Made a Successful NASCAR Crossover

Colombia’s Juan Pablo Montoya is the biggest name to have enjoyed NASCAR success. Montoya sensationally quit F1 in 2006 to embark on a NASCAR career. The Colombian found himself among the favourites in the latest Daytona 500 bets due to his unquestionable driving skills. Montoya competed in 255 races over nine years in the NASCAR Cup Series, winning two, finishing in the top ten 59 times, and finding himself on pole position on nine occasions. He finished eighth in the 2009 standings, his best-ever position.

Montoya also competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, although his career was short-lived. He raced 23 times over three years, enjoying three top tens and an outright victory. Montoya retired from NASCAR in 2014 but stayed in the United States and became an IndyCar driver.

It’s the start of a new era for Ferrari in the world of virtual motor racing, as the FDA Esports Team becomes the Scuderia Ferrari Velas Esports Team. It signals the arrival of a new title partner, Velas, one of the most efficient blockchain networks available, known for the performance and innovation of the services it offers. The Gestione Sportiva will also be more directly involved in a field that is going through continuous expansion, as it attracts a growing young audience. Scuderia Ferrari Velas Esports Team will take part in the F1 Esports Series Pro Championship as well as some sports car championships to be announced shortly.

The first big news of 2022 is a brand-new look and name for the team, which from this year will be called Scuderia Ferrari Velas Esports Team thanks to its new Title Sponsor: Velas, a Swiss company focused on the creation and integration of technological products and services and led by a diverse team of engineers, cryptographers, researchers, and mathematicians. The main star of the blockchain and NFT sector, Velas has distinguished itself for the performance and innovativeness of the services offered, characteristics that unite it to the Maranello team.

Kamil Pawlowsky, the 24-year-old Polish driver who won the last edition of the Ferrari Esports Series in a dramatic fight in the final few corners at Mugello in December, joins the team that has just been renewed in looks and names for the coming season. To mark this momentous occasion, official Scuderia Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz welcomed Kamil on his arrival in Italy, presenting the talented esports driver with his Ferrari Esports Series champion’s trophy, one of the many highlights that are sure to come the way of the newest member of the Scuderia Ferrari Velas Esports squad in 2022.

Over 30 thousand drivers battled last year in the ‘Ferrari Esports Series’ championship, certifying an even greater achievement than the previous edition, which continues to prove a resounding year-on-year success with the public and media alike. The date to mark in the calendar for the start of the new season of the Ferrari Velas Esports Series 2022 is March 22nd at 9.00 pm CET. A special streaming event on the Ferrari Twitch channel will launch the new season, with various special guests set to take part in the broadcast, and public registrations will officially open.

With so many people using smartphones and laptops to play games these days, the gaming industry for online casino software has exploded. Which online gaming industry company is responsible for creating your favourite casino games? The answer is the software providers. These companies use an online platform to offer gambling and internet services to create top online casino games that work across multiple devices. They achieve this through a vast selection of games, including slots, roulette, baccarat, and blackjack.

A cloud-based software provider powers the most popular online gambling sites. These companies feature big-name games, but they also develop their own proprietary titles that let players enjoy the very best casino experiences possible on any device with an internet connection. That’s why so many of these top-table game apps have a similar feel to other casino games.

Since there is so much competition in the online casino industry, these top casino software providers regularly update their platforms with new and improved titles. This way, they can ensure that players get access to a wide variety of slots machines from different companies without having any bugs or glitches to worry about.

The advent of social online gambling

The best online gambling sites also have a social component, which helps players connect with their fellow gamers to make the most out of every casino experience. These software providers can create more engaging experiences like online slots for users by allowing them to play multiplayer games and send virtual gifts back and forth with other players.

Red Bull Racing is coming off a fantastic season in Formula 1. Max Verstappen knocked off Lewis Hamilton to win the Driver Championship, and the team finished in second in the Constructor Championship to Mercedes by 28 points. However, there is a lot of uncertainty heading into the 2022 season for the team.

If you have looked at the best sports betting sites, such as BetMGM you have probably noticed that Red Bull is currently positioned in second behind Mercedes, at +300 compared to the reigning champions at -165. This is because Honda has stepped away from Formula 1, which helped Red Bull rise to prominence.

Verstappen will play a critical role in keeping Red Bull alive in 2022, but Sergio Perez will be just as essential. Perez, or Checo as he is referred to, feels confident about his car following testing in Barcelona. Ferrari seemed to have the best cars, but Red Bull stepped up with rumours of uncertainty.

Sergio Perez Strong Testing

Sergio Perez still has many things to work on, but he felt very good following an intense testing session in Barcelona. The season’s first race is scheduled for March 20 in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Checo finished 152 laps in the practice session, which was 11th overall over the three days. This number may not seem significant, but the more minor details show Perez had an excellent weekend.

The entire Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN gathered in La Thuile, Italy, for the launch of Tonale and break to build up maximum concentration and recharge the batteries ahead of pre-season testing in Barcelona.

Recently unveiled to the international press, it defines Alfa Romeo’s metamorphosis and takes it forward into the new Era of Connectivity and Electrification.

In the last few days, the Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN’s pre-season break has taken place in the magnificent Alpine setting of La Thuile. In a climate of cohesion and concentration, the team focused on their strategies and objectives for the upcoming world championship. In charge of business was the CEO of Alfa Romeo Jean-Philippe Imparato and the Team Principal of the Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN, Frédéric Vasseur, flanked by the entire management and communications team.

Not to be missed, of course, were the new drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu; from this season, aboard the new C42 single-seater, they will be transferred to the track all the passion of the work done by the team.

In 2021, over 3000 candidates applied to join the Formula Future programme and 41 people were selected to participate. Following the completion of the programme, 90% of these employees then went on to join Scuderia AlphaTauri on a full-time basis.

Marco Ceresa, Group CEO Randstad Italia commented:

We are delighted to renew our partnership with Scuderia AlphaTauri, with whom we share values such as results orientation, the promotion of talent, the drive for innovation and the constant effort to achieve success at work.

Fabio Costantini, the CEO and Chief Operating Officer of Randstad HR Solutions added:

In recent years we have put our experience at the service of the entire motor industry, offering ourselves as a point of reference in HR services. Over the years the Formula Future offer developed thanks to our Education division, it has evolved: we have not limited ourselves to identifying, training and placing specialised profiles in the automotive sector, but we have tried to anticipate the skills needed and to create a system capable of enhancing them.

Are you in the market for some new tires for your car but don’t want to spend too much money? Do you want to know if there is a difference between budget and premium tires and if it is worth it to spend the extra money?

There are a few things you should know before choosing new tires for your car, however, the most important thing is to always look for a tire shop that can provide you with high-quality tires. One such shop is Canada Custom Autoworks, so if you’re looking to upgrade your tires in Calgary, visit their shop. When it comes to tires, there are two main types: budget and premium. Budget tires are those that are less expensive and typically don’t offer as many features as premium tires. Premium tires, on the other hand, can be more expensive but often offer better performance and durability. So, which type is right for you? Here’s a look at the differences between budget and premium tires. 

Budget tires vs. premium tires

It’s no secret that buying new tires for your car especially if you’re buying a full set of four can get very expensive very quickly even if you are buying budget tires or the cheapest ones that you can find. Very often it is too expensive for people to even afford a full set of tires. However, it is important to note that you have access to both premium and budget tires, and choosing the right one for you is all based on your personal preference, your budget, and how long you want them to last.

Budget tires are the cheaper option, and they are typically not as good as premium tires often budget tires are great for those who are in a pinch and desperately need new tires but can’t afford a full set of them. However, many people say that budget tires are perfect if you are just driving around for everyday use and not using them for anything extreme
