Since that announcement, Spanish media and Alonso’s supporters started to dream of a magic season, a new chapter of “Magic Alonso” that fed that dream in the first race of the season. With Lance Stroll missing the pre-season following a cycling crash, the Spaniard was in the spotlight, and he did not disappoint.

Video Games as In-car Entertainment? Is It Safe at All?

On top of listening to your favourite jams and playing video content (streamed or saved), did you know you could play video games in your car? Of course, if you’re a passenger, playing video games in the car is as simple as whipping out your smartphone or a portable gaming device like the PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, or Steam Deck. But it’s a different ball game if you’re the vehicle driver.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could kill boredom by playing a few rounds of, say, the Aviator game if you found yourself stuck in traffic? Mind you, unlike audio and video, the gaming options will be limited by the car model or its compatibility with third-party media accessories. So, what are your options if you want to enjoy video gaming in your car? Read on to discover how you can do it, and if you have any safety concerns, we’ll answer all your questions.

The 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix took place on Sunday, March 5. Reigning (and back-to-back) Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen took first place by a comfortable margin, leading Sergio Pérez of Mexico by just under 12 seconds at the finish line.

Although Verstappen was born in Belgium, he competed under the Dutch flag. His parents, Jos and Sophie, were successful racers in their own right: his father competed in F1, while his mother was a champion at lower levels of the sport. His parents separated when he was young, and Verstappen lived with his father, who hails from the Netherlands. As such, he considers himself culturally Dutch.

The Middle Eastern circuit will continue in a couple of weeks. The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is next held at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. It’s a night race, set to start at 8 pm local time on Sunday, March 19: 1 pm for viewers on the United States East Coast.

Verstappen won the race last year and is the overwhelming favourite to do it again, listed at or around -200 to win the 2023 race.

Odds can vary dramatically from sportsbook to sportsbook, especially in the rest of the field, so make sure to shop around at some of the best betting apps and find which lines could give you the biggest payoff.

Hearing that Lola Cars has a new buyer, Till Bechtolsheimer, my mind went back to a surprising phone call I received from this famous company late in 1990. It had been a busy summer’s day at my Kyalami Speed International race driver school in South Africa and I was looking forward to a swim when my phone rang. To my surprise, the caller was Mike Blanchet, CEO of Lola Race Cars in England.

Mike was a good friend from our days of racing Formula Fords in the UK, mid-1970’s. He’d been a very talented race driver whom I believe could and should have gone a lot further as a racer.

He told me that Lola Race Car’s legendary founder, Eric Broadley wanted to enter a Lola team in the 1993 F1 World Championship.

Formed in 1958, Lola was the largest race car manufacturer worldwide at one stage in its fascinating history, filling the grids in American Indy racing such as CART, whilst dominating F3000 in Europe and the Nippon series in Asia.

It doesn’t get much faster than Formula 1. Formula 1 cars are advanced vehicles with cutting-edge aerodynamics and turbocharged engines that can reach 60 mph in under two seconds.

And because of that, Formula 1 drivers are among the best drivers in the world, possessing lightning-fast reflexes, ultra-sharp focus, strategic racing prowess, and the ability to operate under constant pressure.

Formula 1 has seen its fair share of unforgettable F1 drivers since it started in 1950 – some more celebrated than others!

So why not run through them?

Below we’ve listed the top Formula 1 drivers of all time.

Life can sometimes be boring or full of adrenaline. Rarely get out of their comfort zone, change their routine, and make it more entertaining. We all have 9-5 jobs, college obligations we must take care of, etc… All these things take a lot of our energy, and people sometimes even lose the desire to change something.

But what if certain activities can wake us up and fulfil our hearts and souls with positive energy and excitement? Would we change our approach to life and be ready to deal with everyday problems better?

Something people need is an adrenaline rush. Most things we experience during the day make us feel exhausted. Fortunately, two can wake up feelings we don’t share often. Those two activities are motorsport and online gambling.

At first glance, these two things do not have anything in common. There is one silly connection. You may find casino games such as Racing for Pinks, Highway Kings, Formula X, and others with motorsports elements. Yet, something that genuinely and strongly connects them is the adrenaline rush they can both cause.

How to Safely Gamble and Enjoy Motorsports?

Don’t worry; we understand that both activities can have consequences. We primarily want to discuss the safest ways to enjoy both exercises in a secure environment.

Traditionally, the release of a new season of Drive to Survive means the beginning of the Formula 1 season after a long winter break. Drivers, teams, management, fans, media – everyone is waiting for the lights to go out on Sunday, March 5. Pre-season testing and race one is already finished, but let’s relive and enjoy the moments of the past year. As usual, Netflix always makes drama happen, making you relive the most dramatic parts.

So, here is Drive to Survive, Season 5, 10 episodes, and our five reasons why it’s worth watching the series if you still need to do it.

It is revving up for drama. Stock up on popcorn and handkerchiefs because season 5 continues to bring the drama on and off track. This time, there are many reasons: the ups and downs of Ferrari, exceeding the spending limit at Red Bull, the porpoising effect, the hunt for Oscar Piastri and other unexpected transitions of drivers, the traditional drama in Haas with the hope of points, the situation around Mick Schumacher.

Pardon my French

The situation around Team Alpine is shown very interestingly: how Otmar Szafnauer, the Team Principal, came from Aston Martin, where it was morally challenging for him, and how he got support in a new place from a new boss. Laurent Rossi, the Alpine CEO, said to Netflix: “Otmar brought what I wanted – the connection of people in the team. It’s hard not to get along with him; he knows how to manage difficult people”. And everything is going well. Alpine is slowly increasing in the WCC standings thanks to a strong team and good drivers. But Fernando Alonso’s sudden decision to move to Aston Martin sets off a chain of events. And it begins…

A special anniversary for a special cause supporting the Ugo Foscolo School in Taormina, Sicily. Ferrari maintains its commitment to the next generation’s education with a donation of funds raised during an auction held at the 10th anniversary of the Cavalcade in Sicily in September 2021.

The proceeds of the auction, held at the Ancient Theatre of Taormina after a five-day event that took Ferrari owners to some of the island’s most enchanting places, will go to educational projects selected by Taormina’s municipal council.

Ferrari provided a host of memorabilia and exclusive experiences for the auction. The bids made by its international clientele will fund the renovation of the Istituto Comprensivo 1 Ugo Foscolo School. A teaching lab will also be created in this building, restoring and converting a former house in order to serve the town’s primary and middle schools.

In addition, “Ferrari Scholarships” will be established to help a number of students – residents of Taormina – to proceed with higher education and to access private teaching in music and the arts, according to a regulation that the same Municipality will issue.
