The spectacular return of Ford to Formula 1

From the 2026 season, the Red Bull team will be able to count on the return of the Ford manufacturer in Formula 1!

Note that the brand has withdrawn from F1 in 2004 (as champion) as engine manufacturer.

The American brand will become associated with Red Bull, the 2022 champion team, and its little sister AlphaTauri, in order to develop a new generation hybrid engine.

The partnership will last until at least 2030.

When Ford returns, the single-seaters will be able to count on an increase in electric power and, on top of that, 100% sustainable fuel will be used.

Ford will certainly make its mark in several areas, including battery cells, electric motor technology and power unit analysis software.

Ford is the third most successful engine manufacturer, with 10 manufacturers’ championships and 13 drivers’ titles.

It is a global brand with an “incredible heritage” in racing and also in the huge world of automobiles!

Remember that also in 2026, Audi will land in F1 to make its debut.

A long-awaited debut for the German manufacturer.

A man has attempted to break into Keanu Reeves’ home six times since the beginning of November, forcing the star to hire a security team to protect himself, but also to discover the identity of the suspect.

According to TMZ, the man went so far as to leave a DNA kit at the residence of the star in Los Angeles during one of his many unwanted visits!

Also according to TMZ, while searching the man’s past, Reeves’ security team would have discovered that the man had several run-ins with the law, including assault and resisting arrest.

The worst lip-sync performance in history?

Rihanna was in charge of the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, and let’s just say that her performance, qualified as ordinary by some fans, is still the talk of the town.

According to many observers, Rihanna even offered the worst lip-sync performance ever seen in history!

It is on social networks that many observers have accused the pop star of having done lip-sync during the entire show, in addition to being very bad at this discipline too!

https://twitter.com/PageSix/status/1625404744670842881

Recall that Rihanna had not offered any performances since 2016, taking advantage of this one to announce that she was pregnant, becoming a powerful statement for all women around the world.

However, since she presumably mimed the lyrics to all the songs on a pre-recorded tape, it tickled music critics immensely.

Rihanna isn’t the first to get bad reviews about a potential fake karaoke performance during a Super Bowl since Katy Perry and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have also suffered this fate.

However, it should be noted that lip-sync is a common practice, as it can serve as a musical safety for some artists, who devote more energy to the often demanding choreography routine.

A drunk man arrested with a mountain of beer cans as a passenger!

A man was arrested 200 kilometers northwest of Toronto, in Georgian Bluffs, while in an advanced state of intoxication.

The most impressive part of this arrest, made during a roadblock, is that the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) also discovered a mountain of beer cans inside the car that served as a passenger!

https://twitter.com/NiaFallsReview/status/1625508280041721856

Mark Sewell, a 61-year-old man, was the one arrested late this afternoon, completely drunk, with several dozen cans of beer taking up all the passenger space.

Once at the police station, the man took a breathalyzer test, which he obviously failed, having driven with more than 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood… Of course, he is facing several charges, including one for driving with alcohol on hand.

In addition, Sewell will be charged with theft, driving with a non-conforming license plate, driving a car without insurance and driving while prohibited.

A big week for Mark…
