Football ⚽️ post & proud dad moment. Maybe it’s a little thing, but I love what I see from my boy in this clip as a holding midfielder. Just a natural feel in the tight space. Controls the ball, feels the pressure, avoids it with a body feign, creates space, scans and spots the

Just a warning that you will see a lot of the FIA car models that are just display cars based on standard designs, and in no way reflect the actual technical design of the car. Likely RBR and RB will use one during their “car launch” which will be a glorified livery launch. Maybe

A list of things I told myself I would never do before having kids, that I have failed miserably at after 4 kids: 1. Feed them anything other than home cooked organic food 2. Give them anything with unnatural sugars 3. Lose my 5 day per week workout routine 4. Put on sympathy
Ppl been shoving things in front of kids for centuries in public. When I was a kid it was the little peg games at Cracker Barrel, or coloring pages, my parents would even allow me to bring my GameBoy in a restaurant from time to time. As it turns out, working half the day full

China just pulled off the biggest gold market heist in history. While we're all distracted watching Powell, Shanghai has taken control of 75% of global gold trading. Here's how they did it 🧵

How media and creators can make entire videos from one TP asking a question is God tier level farming. Further proof I’m not cut out for this business. 😂😂. I’m farrrrrrrr to sensible for my own good. 😊

Toto Wolff is selling part of his Mercedes F1 stake at a $6B valuation, reports @Sportico. He bought in at ~$165M in 2013, and has run the team to 8 constructors titles. Who’s the buyer?

Caveat to this. If it’s a wet start, with a drying track, then 100% yes. The McLaren advantage in thermal management for their tyres is a huge advantage. If it’s a wet track with continuous light rain then maybe not as much. The tyres are cooled easily by the consistency of the
