There have been several recent incidents involving brave guys among the marshals. The FIA was already very much concerned about the safety of anything and everything to do with Formula 1 rounds, but dangerous situations still occurred from time to time.

A quick note on what marshals do on the track. Marshals are divided into five main types:

On each round of Formula 1, there are cumulatively up to 1500 marshals, who are not paid by the championship management; it is purely a volunteer job. They get free meals and the excitement of being in the thick of it. Every race is a new experience, especially when you can be a part of the event, and make a bet on it, checking the review on https://bookmaker-ratings.com/review/fastbet-bookmaker-review-rules-support-sign-up-free-bets-site/ beforehand.

Track marshals have the most dangerous job because they have to appear on track more often than others: crashes, traffic jams, evacuating cars, removing wreckage, cleaning track from gravel – all this is their responsibility. Usually, the race does not stop when necessary to remove, for example, the destruction left by accident – the cars continue behind the safety car, i.e., at a reduced speed, but in the vicinity of the track marshals. In essence, they risk their health and even their lives at every round. Still, as a rule, people who are passionate about something and in love with something rarely stop at such trifles. For many Formula 1 is a passion, and working as a stage marshal is an opportunity to become part of the grand celebration of F1.

Technology, sustainability and support for young talents are the three cornerstones of Pirelli’s 2022 motorsport campaign which was presented today.

SPECTACULAR GROWTH

Alpine has announced strong growth in 2021, with 2659 vehicles sold over the year – 74% more than in 2020. In France, Alpine’s sales were up by 117% on the previous year.

The brand was firmly on track in 2021; the strategic plan, announced in January, enabled Alpine to create a new business unit with the goal of boosting sales by harnessing its powerful image and developing internationally.

The A110 showed off multiple dimensions throughout the year: even more elegant with the A110 Legend GT, more graphic with Felipe Pantone and more colourful with the Atelier Alpine.

This contract also covers Alpine Esport Team and the Alpine Academy. The K-Way brand becomes the Official Lifestyle Partner and will provide all travel wear to the team.

For this new partnership, Kappa will develop several technical textile collections for the team kit; fanwear products, a footwear range, as well as accessories under an Alpine F1 Team licence. The Italian brand will rely on a global network of licensees and partners to distribute and offer these collections to fans around the world.

For more than 40 years, Kappa has worked closely with the biggest European football clubs, such as Juventus, AC Milan, FC Barcelona and AS Roma. Over the years, Kappa has expanded into new disciplines such as athletics in 1981 (USA National Team), rugby in 2002 (Italian Rugby Federation) plus also skiing and more general winter sports in 2011 (FISI). Thanks to these strong partnerships and products that combine style and performance, Kappa has increased its reputation on and off the pitch.

From time to time, in the Formula 1 championship appears a driver who, from the very beginning of his career, leaves no doubt that he is a rare and special talent. George Russell is one of them.

So far, only on paper, he is more talented than his peers. This is only because, during the transfer from the younger series, George ended up in Williams, where there is no point even floundering. All that can be achieved is to become the best among the worst, even though Williams was looking pretty good in the previous season. George was patient and waited for his star moment and in this season he will become a Mercedes driver. But was Russell’s path easy to the seven-time world champion’s team? And what will await him there?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

George’s path to the world of royal racing ran through traditional karting, followed by a series of single-seaters. He won the Formula-4 championship at the age of 16, at 19 he became the GP3 champion, and already at 20 also won the F2 championship. All titles were taken on the first attempt. It looks like a fairy tale. It is not surprising that at the first opportunity Russell was invited to Formula 1. On this, George’s career comes to a standstill for three long years.

According to the New York Police statistics, there were 9,183 traffic collisions in New York during November 2021. Out of these, 525 occupants suffered injuries, and 6 people died. Therefore, car accidents are a real possibility when driving in the Bronx.

It is important to note that there are specific state laws and New York is no exception. New York has particular regulations that you should be aware of if you are in the position of pursuing a personal injury claim in New York, especially if from a different state.

Let’s look at some of these critical differences so that you are not making assumptions based on the state you live in that could set you up for failure. 

The New York Statute of Limitations

You have a limited period from the date of the accident, during which time you need to get your case started. Should you fail to do so within the prescribed period, your lawsuit will face probable dismissal by the court.

The 2021 Formula 1 season will be remembered for a long time, as we’ve experienced some unbelievable races. Hollywood could not write a better script, with the championship being decided on the last lap at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, we had six different race winners from four teams last year.

Despite the 2021 Formula 1 season being one of the most exciting and entertaining in Formula 1 history, the pinnacle of motorsport is about to undergo enormous rule changes this year, as the sport will introduce one of its largest technical overhauls in history. The development of the new rules is led by F1’s Chief Technical Officer, Pat Symonds. The aim is quite simple: the cars should be able to run more closely together to aid overtaking, hence promoting better racing.

You’ve may have heard about ‘dirty air’ which currently makes it tough to follow other cars. According to the calculations, you lose around 47% of downforce when following another car at 20 meters and this number will be reduced to just 4% next year by changing the aerodynamics of the cars. This means the return of the ground-effect formula, which was banned in Formula 1 at the end of 1982 – however it shouldn’t be described as a return of that era as there are major differences in the execution.

The most noticeable changes of the 2022 car are the all-new front and rear wing shapes combined with the removal of complex bargeboards. There were some talks about getting rid of the drag reduction system (DRS), however, it will remain on the rear wing.

The Dutchman overtook title rival Lewis Hamilton during the controversial last lap of a thrilling Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to win the race and his maiden F1 title five years after he made his debut for Red Bull Racing with victory at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix.

Here are the key answers from Verstappen and Marko on the show:

Everybody likes to save money. With the rising cost of car ownership, it makes sense to cut back on some of the things you are paying for.

However, much like having an extended warranty, there are things you may feel like you don’t need to pay for in your policy and decide to get rid of them. Then you end up regretting it later on. The trick is that you have to understand what parts of your policy are expendable and which you should keep. In this article, we will go over how to know how much insurance coverage you need in case you want to cut it down to save money. 

Liability vs Value

You can read all the Geico car insurance reviews online and understand if it’s the right insurance company for you, but that doesn’t help you understand if you’re buying a policy that you actually need. 

You need to think of a simple formula to start your research as this will help illuminate a few things. There are two types of insurance you can get: liability and comprehensive.
