A shark saved by cyclists!

An unusual sequence was captured in South Africa, when a group of cyclists released a shark that was stranded on their way to the beach in northern Durban.

The group spotted the shark while riding their bicycles and without question, they headed towards it to rescue it.

It takes a lot of courage to ride towards a shark that is stranded like that and to rescue it without warning.

It should be noted that the thresher shark (or sea fox) is a protected species that is not very dangerous for humans because of its small teeth and its very shy character.

We must therefore congratulate the man who took care of putting it back in the water so that it could continue its way of life properly.

Pat Mahomes hands the Lombardi Trophy to a fan… and forgets about it!

Patrick Mahomes, who probably had a few too many Budweisers, handed the Lombardi Trophy to a fan during the Chiefs Super Bowl parade and forgot to take it back. What?!

This funny sequence was obviously captured on video, which allows us to see that the best quarterback in the NFL was a little banged up. He was holding a beer in his hand as he celebrated with the fans.

During his selfie tour, he let a fan take the trophy so that he could hold it up high… Mahomes, for his part, continued his walk, forgetting about the trophy.

The Chiefs players ended the day in a nightclub and then went to bed for a well-deserved sleep.

Terrifying video of woman defending herself against an attacker in a gym is revealed

A 24-year-old Florida woman fought off a man who tried to assault her in a gym and the footage was captured on video.

According to the report from authorities, the man in question was waiting at the door of the apartment complex’s gym and she was the one who went to open the door for him.

Moments later, while she was exercising on a machine, the individual approached her and attempted to grab her by the waist… which he ended up bitterly regretting.

The man tackled her to the ground, while Alma continued to hit him, while contacting the police. The suspect, 25-year-old Xavier Thomas-Jones (a Detroit Red Wings fan), eventually let go and fled to an apartment.

Less than 24 hours later, he was arrested by police and will face charges of sexual assault, imprisonment and kidnapping.

More than 362,000 Teslas recalled for a serious problem

Tesla has had to recall as many as 362,758 cars that are equipped with autonomous driving software due to “safety issues at intersections.”

A report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that Tesla needs to make a major software update on the following models: Model S (2016-2023), Model X (2016-2023), Model 3 (2017-2023) and Model Y (2020-2023).

This is certainly a major problem asit can allow cars to exceed speedlimits or cross intersections illegally or unpredictably, thus increasing the risk of accidents.

In addition to this, the system may not react to changes in speed limits indicated on signs, or may not take into account the driver’s adjustment of the vehicle speed to exceed the speed limit.

Crucially, however, the company is not aware of any injuries and/or deaths attached to those recalls.

By April 15, Tesla will send a notice by mail to affected owners. Of course, the update will be done for free, and it can even be done remotely without a trip to the dealership.

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.
