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

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…

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.

Slot machines are a favourite casino game for many gamblers. Now that slots are available to play online in Australia, gamblers have thousands of options. This has people wondering what the best slot machine to play is.

The thing about slot machines is that the outcomes are always random. That means that luck is the only thing that determines whether you win or lose. However, you may have noticed that some bettors win more often than others. Is there a method to how they play slot games?

While there is no guarantee of winning on a slot machine, there are some choices you can make that give you an advantage. Read on as we break down some ways to choose the best slot machines.

Research Slot Machines Before Playing

Before you start playing slots online at brand new online casinos, you should research the individual games. This will give you more insight into the slot’s volatility and the RTP% (return to player). These are essential things to know about for choosing slot machines where you can win real money. You can learn more about these by reading reviews of the slot game.

There’s no gaming like online gaming, but certain criteria will help your gaming experience be perfect. If you are a newbie, you should spend some time doing research about important things to know about online casinos. Get informed about casinos and think about your safety first.

You will spend lots of time having fun, but you’ll also need to provide some personal information, so you have to ensure that you play in a safe casino. There is such a magnificent variety of games, and they are all charming and inviting, but you have to be patient and choose the right ones. Try out as many casinos as possible, and then decide which one(s) suit you best. And, as mentioned earlier, always put your personal safety first.

Only play in certified online casinos

To be sure that you are playing at a certified online casino like Sky City, always look for the casino’s license. A casino’s website should clearly state which license they hold, and the casino should be certified by a reputable gaming authority. The gaming certificate is usually displayed in the footer of the casino’s homepage. If you cannot find the certificate, don’t play at that casino; instead, find another one and ensure it is legit. Do not give your personal and bank information to a non-certified casino.

Always look for the reviews

Before choosing a casino, after successfully locating the certificate, always review other players’ reviews. There is much to learn from the players who played at certain casinos. Let’s clarify that there will always be satisfied and unsatisfied customers, but if there are many negative reviews, it’s probably best to avoid that casino.

It is also important to check and see if the casino offers good customer support.
