Kimi Antonelli, Formula 1 driver, seems intent on keeping the number 12 for the next season, in honor of the iconic Ayrton Senna and for a personal connection to that number, as he approaches the world triumph in Mexico, despite commercial considerations and the prestige of the number 1. #F1 #KimiAntonelli #AyrtonSenna (translated)

🚨 BOMBÁSTICO 🚨 Daniela Lima trouxe outra pedrada e o PlatôBR transformou recibo em Segredos de Flávio. A história não começa no palanque. Começa numa nota fiscal de fevereiro de 2022: Rolex de R$ 305 mil, Submariner de ouro branco, emitida em nome do advogado Alan Belaciano. Alexandre Santini, ex-sócio que guardou mensagem, foto e áudio, completa o restante: quem pagou foi o Alan, quem ficou com o relógio foi o candidato. No mesmo rastro entra a academia da mansão, mais de R$ 90 mil em equipamento, casa acelerada num financiamento do BRB ligado ao Master. O retorno do favor aparece no mesmo dossiê. Santini escreveu que Flávio falou direto com Kassio Nunes Marques para tratar de cliente com processo no gabinete do ministro, com jantar e chefe de gabinete no meio do caminho. É o mesmo Kassio que hoje preside o TSE, devolveu a filiação do Flávio e tirou do ar propaganda contra ele. A UOL ainda lembra Cezinha Madureira, correligionário investigado por cobrar para abrir essa porta. Fica a pergunta nojenta no ar: o presidenciável estava no mesmo circuito. Enquanto o feed grita protejam as crianças e Lula não toque nas crianças, enquanto católicos não serão calados, respeitem nossa fé e Aparecida merece respeito sobem lado a lado de pedófilo, Zeri, Rizek e Senna, o que a Daniela Lima mostrou é outra proteção: a da sala certa, do relógio certo e do ministro que julga o jogo com o candidato já conhecido do gabinete. Não é só presente. É o mapa de quem entra e de quem decide. Deus proteja o Brasil. #Brasil #Política #Corrupção

Son carreras de autos donde manejan a 300km/h. Antonelli el año pasado le arruinó una carrera a Verstappen en Austria y otra a Leclerc en Zandvoort. Y hay hasta documentales de choques entre compañeros equipo, incluso graves, como por ej Prost tirando a la mierda a Senna en 1989 sabiendo q si los dos abandonaban él era campeón. Este camino de la F1 es largo, difícil, cruel y muy competitivo, mas para un sudamericano. Franco siempre va al frente con lo q tiene y viene dando espectáculo desde la primera fecha cuando esquivó a Lawson, y es la primera vez q le pasa algo así, siendo el piloto mas regular de toda la parrilla y el mejor largador de la F1. Pidió disculpas, en breve hay revancha y va a seguir yendo al frente, porq es su esencia, sino no estaria donde está. Asi es el deporte. Buen fin de semana #F1 #automovilismo #deportes

Oficialmente, este foi o 11º GP com a menor diferença entre 1º e 2º na história. Mas no meio da lista tem aquelas dobradinhas da Ferrari dos anos 2000, corrida que terminou com SC. Tirando isso, foi a chegada mais apertada desde a vitória de Senna sobre Mansell na Espanha em 86 #Formula1 #GP #Senna
