@Azeem Here's the video of the crash I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yKhkAHJp58 Watch at your own risk, the impact was 70 G, it's brutal, especially when you know one of the drivers (Hubert) died and the other one (Correa) spent a week on a life-support machine and almost lost his leg; doctors had to pretty much rebuild it and it will likely never make a full recovery

Elevation changes, high speed nature of the track, a mix of long straights and challenging sweeping corners, many of them with little run off so precision is required as even the tiniest mistakes can lead to severe punishment, some hard braking zones. Highly unpredictable weather conditions too. It's always been one of the most dangerous (and lethal) circuits; these days the safety has been improved immensely, but still bad accidents happen quite often. F2 driver lost his life there last year too.

I'd say Spa (Belgium).

Finally, Jojo Eggestein's midfield experiment is over and he's back to being a striker. https://www.deichstube.de/news/werder-bremen-johannes-eggestein-neue-position-stuermer-plan-florian-kohfeldt-wechsel-bundesliga-13502751.html Hopefully he makes a breakthrough and lives up to his potential. Looking pretty good in the pre-season so far. Now there's hoping Kohfeldt won't seriously consider converting Mbom into a right back.

Turkey, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi added to the calendar.

Yeah Was brought on in the second half, spent 15 minutes on the pitch and was then subbed off again. Apparently due to some blood circulation issues. Very bizarre.

Yes, one player tested positive and is in quarantine, the rest of the team is being tested.

Lineup for the friendly against Austria Lustenau: Pavlenka - Gebre Selassie, Toprak, Friedl, Augustinsson - Erras - M. Eggestein, Bittencourt - J. Eggestein, Selke, Chong. Rashica was supposed to take part in the game, but left the stadium together with the club official shortly before the kickoff. Could indicate that there's some movement in terms of transfers...

Spoils of war; gifted to Russia in the Potsdam Conference. It's a strategically important region for them as its the only ice-free naval outlet to the Baltic Sea that Russia has.

I started watching Season 2 last night, thought it was even sillier than the previous season

Any update? I demand a report!

???

4-1, Osako. Nice build up by Schmid and Woltemade!

3-1, penalty for LASK, Raguz scores.

Changes for the 2nd half: Kapino - Gebre Selassie, Rieckmann, Friedl, Augustinsson - Eggestein, Schmid, Woltemade, Osako - Sargent, Füllkrug. 3-0 through Josh Sargent!

2-0, a goal by Jojo after a nice assist by Chong!

Friendly against LASK just started, already 1-0 through Selke. Interesting formation and lineup, with Mbom as a right back... Pavlenka - Mbom, Toprak, Friedl, Agu - Erras, Klaassen, Bittencourt - Chong, Selke, Jojo

New season starts on September 11th. First 4 matchdays have been scheduled:

Canceling automatic updates is one of the first things I do when I get a new laptop/PC Nothing worse than being in the middle of something and getting the annoying "restart your computer to install important updates".

Cooked shrimp with tomatoes, lime and capers today. Turned out great, but now I just want to lay down on the beach and drink cocktails all day.

All I could think of was Penguins of Madagascar

He didn't In general, I agree that more talents moving up from F2 would be great. Some will not get a chance simply due to not being eligible for super license though. I believe Daruvala needs to finish 5th, Tsunoda 4th in order to qualify. Vips would be another good option but since Red Bull sent him to Super Formula instead of F2, there's virtually no chance for him to be considered for the Toro Rosso seat next season. At least one of Shwartzman and Mick will make it to F1 next season, I reckon. A lot depends on what happens with Haas.

If you're willing to spend more, then it might be worth taking a look at the MOZA slypod. It's basically a motorised sliding arm, but is by far more compact than the rails. Combine it with their gimbal, and you're golden.
