in honour of danny being sacked, a little something to remind everyone how wonderful of a driver he truly is :(

when it comes to the high-octane world of formula 1, few names resonate like that of daniel ricciardo. the charismatic australian driver has had his fair share of ups and downs, making him one of the most intriguing figures in the sport. his career has been rife with highlights, challenges, and enigmatic 'what ifs.'

early days and rise to fame

born on july 1, 1989, in perth, australia, daniel ricciardo grew up surrounded by the roaring sounds of engines, thanks to his father who was a keen motorsport enthusiast. daniel's passion for racing ignited early on, and he began karting at just nine years old. his undeniable talent soon shone through, leading him to move to europe to pursue his formula 1 dreams.

ricciardo's path was far from straightforward. after making his way through various junior formulas, he caught the attention of red bull racing, where he secured a test driver role in 2009. he made his formula 1 debut with hrt in 2011, but it wasn't until he joined toro rosso in 2012 that he really began to make his mark. in 2014, he was promoted to the main red bull team, and that's where the magic really began to happen.

glory years with red bull

daniel's time with red bull was nothing short of spectacular. in 2014, he scored his first grand prix victory at the canadian gp. his infectious smile, along with his spectacular overtaking skills and ability to perform under pressure quickly made him a fan favourite. over the next few years, ricciardo added more wins to his name, showcasing his knack for thrilling drives and strategic brilliance.

however, alongside the highs came the inevitable lows. as red bull faced increasing competition from mercedes, ricciardo found himself in the shadows of teammate max verstappen, which would lead to a series of internal tensions and external pressures.

red bull exit and a new challenge

by 2018, the competitive landscape had shifted dramatically, and ricciardo made the bold decision to leave red bull for renault. this move was met with surprise, but many believed it would be a fresh start, offering him the chance to be a team leader and potentially turn the team's fortunes around.

despite showing flashes of brilliance, the renault stint was a mixed bag. ricciardo managed to secure some impressive results, but the team struggled to consistently compete with the top teams. after two seasons, he made another big move, this time to mclaren in 2021. this switch was seen as a critical moment for his career, reigniting hopes of a return to his former glory.

joining mclaren marked a new chapter for ricciardo, but it proved to be more challenging than anticipated. he struggled to find the right balance with the car, which resulted in a frustrating two seasons. despite a promising win at the 2021 italian gp—his first in almost three years—consistency remained elusive. the internal competition with lando norris further complicated matters, leading to a season filled with both highs and lows.

shock return to alphatauri

in 2023, following his tumultuous time at mclaren, ricciardo returned to formula 1 with alphatauri after a brief hiatus from the grid. this return was filled with intrigue, as fans and pundits alike wondered whether he could finally recapture his previous form. a few of his races with red bull's sister team showcased flashes of the brilliance that had once defined his career. but the shadows of doubt lingered, leading to his eventual firing following the 2024 singapore gp.

what if?

daniel's career has become a testament to the unpredictability of f1. with moments of sheer brilliance intertwined with extensive episodes of misfortune, fans can't help but wonder how different his legacy might have been had he remained with red bull longer and avoided the setbacks he faced.

personal life

beyond the track, daniel is known for his vibrant personality. his trademark smile and cheeky sense of humour have endeared him to fans worldwide. off the track, he's an advocate for mental health awareness and often shares insight into his life and career on social media. his engaging nature makes him one of the most loveable figures in the sport, easily bridging the gap between fans and the sometimes insular world of f1.

Mick Schumacher to drive fathers Mercedes F1 car at Goodwood Festival | 2023 F1 season

Mick Schumacher will drive a Mercedes Formula 1 car which was raced by his father at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next month. The former Haas F1 racer will be making his debut at the festival which takes places over four days on the weekend following the British Grand Prix. Schumacher will drive a Mercedes W02, which was campaigned by the team in 2011. His father and Nico Rosberg took the team to fourth place in the championship in the car, but did not win a race in it, which remains the most recent occasion Mercedes have ended an F1 season without a victory. The W02 never achieved a podium finish either. Schumacher gave the car its best result at that year’s rain-affected Canadian Grand Prix where he finished fourth after being passed by Mark Webber’s Red Bull with fourth laps to go. “It’s going to be spectacular to run in my dad’s 2011 car, the W02, even if it is only a short run,” said Schumacher. “Just experiencing this generation of cars will be mega.” The W02 has a normally aspirated 2.4-litre V8 engine with additional power provided by a Kinetic Energy Recovery System. “Knowing that he raced this car makes it extra special, and there will be many emotions coming with it,” said Schumacher. The 24-year-old has already driven cars from the three other teams his father raced for in F1 – Jordan, Benetton and Ferrari and will complete the quartet with his run in the Mercedes. “I am sure I will get out of it with a big smile on my face,” he said. Mercedes will also run their most recent championship-winning car at Goodwood. Esteban Gutierrez will drive a W12, which the team raced in 2021, when Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas took them to the constructors’ title.

As Daniel Ricciardo prepares for the start of the 2024 Formula 1 season, he can't help but feel that a new chapter in his racing career is about to unfold. The Australian driver, known for his infectious smile and daring overtaking moves, has been a mainstay in the sport for over a decade now. But as he approaches his mid-30s, Ricciardo says that the 2024 season feels like the "second part" of his F1 career is just beginning.

"I've had some incredible experiences in the sport so far, but I really feel like I'm entering a new phase of my career now," Ricciardo said in an interview with F1.com. "I've learned so much in my time in Formula 1, and I really feel like I'm in the prime of my racing abilities. I'm eager to see what the future holds."

Ricciardo burst onto the F1 scene in 2011 with the HRT team before moving to Toro Rosso and then landing a coveted seat at Red Bull Racing in 2014. During his time with the energy drink team, he scored numerous victories and became known as one of the most exciting talents on the grid. His daring, wheel-to-wheel battles with the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel made him a fan favorite.

In 2019, Ricciardo made the move to Renault, hoping to challenge for race wins and podiums with the French outfit. However, the team's struggles to consistently deliver a competitive car left him frustrated at times. But the Australian never lost his trademark smile and positive attitude, even during difficult moments.

Now, as he gears up for the 2024 season, Ricciardo finds himself with a new team once again, this time at McLaren. The Woking-based team enjoyed a resurgence in form in recent years, and Ricciardo is eager to build on the success of the team.

"I feel like I'm joining McLaren at a really exciting time," Ricciardo said. "The team has made great strides in recent seasons, and I'm confident that we can compete for podiums and victories. I really believe that we have the potential to challenge for the championship in the coming years, and I'm excited to be a part of that journey."

With the 2024 regulations bringing sweeping changes to the sport, including new technical regulations and the introduction of sustainable fuels, Ricciardo is eager to see how the competitive landscape of F1 will shift. He knows that the new era of Formula 1 will provide a fresh challenge, and he's ready to embrace it with open arms.

"I feel like the 2024 season is the start of something new for me," Ricciardo said. "I'm more experienced and more motivated than ever before, and I'm ready to give it my all. This feels like the second part of my Formula 1 career, and I can't wait to see what the future holds."

As the 2024 Formula 1 season kicked off, all eyes were on Daniel Ricciardo, the Australian racing star known for his natural talent and infectious personality. After a few challenging seasons, Ricciardo made a bold statement, declaring that the 2024 season feels like the "second part" of his F1 career starting.

Ricciardo's journey in Formula 1 has been nothing short of remarkable. His rise to fame began in 2014 when he secured his first Grand Prix victory at the Canadian Grand Prix. From there, he continued to impress with his fearless driving and unparalleled speed, earning the nickname "The Honey Badger" for his aggressive yet smooth racing style.

However, as the years went on, Ricciardo faced his fair share of setbacks. A move to the Renault team in 2019 didn't yield the results he had hoped for, and a switch to McLaren in 2021 proved to be a challenging transition as well. Despite these challenges, Ricciardo remained resilient, always pushing himself to perform at the highest level.

Now, as the 2024 season begins, Ricciardo finds himself at a crossroads in his career. With a new set of regulations in place, he sees this as an opportunity to rewrite the narrative and make a fresh start. He has expressed a renewed sense of optimism and determination, stating that he feels like the "second part" of his F1 career is about to begin.

With his characteristic smile and positive attitude, Ricciardo exudes a sense of confidence and readiness for the challenges that lie ahead. He has been working closely with the McLaren team to adapt to the new regulations and fine-tune his driving style to maximize the car's potential.

As the season progresses, Ricciardo hopes to make a statement on the track, showing the world that he is not done yet and still has plenty to offer in this high-octane sport. With a competitive field of drivers vying for the top spot, the 2024 season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory.

Ricciardo's bold declaration has sparked a renewed excitement among fans and pundits alike. Many are eager to see how he will fare in this "second part" of his career and whether he can reclaim his status as one of the sport's elite drivers.

As the season unfolds, one thing is for certain – Daniel Ricciardo is ready to write the next chapter in his Formula 1 career, and the world will be watching with bated breath as he embarks on this new journey.

Alex Shnaider Early life

Shnaider moved with his family to Israel when he was 4, and then to Canada when he was 13. He graduated from York University in Toronto in 1991 with a bachelor's degree in economics.

Alex Shnaider Midland Group

In 1994, Shnaider co-founded Midland Group—originally a steel producer—with former business partner Eduard Shifrin. The company operated in Ukraine before government-owned steel factories were privatized. In 1999, Midland Resources began buying shares in the Zaporizhstal steel mill. By 2001, Shnaider's consortium had bought 93 per cent of the mill for $70 million.

According to the Panama Papers, in 2010, Shnaider sold at least half of Midland's ownership in Zaporizhstal to buyers financed by Russian state-owned Vnesheconombank, who were then themselves acquired by the development bank.

Alex Shnaider Sports investments

Shnaider bought Jordan Grand Prix from Eddie Jordan in February 2005 for approximately US$50 million, and renamed it Midland F1 Racing for the 2006 Formula One season. On 9 September 2006, the team was sold to Spyker Cars.

In December 2007, Shnaider bought Israeli soccer team Maccabi Tel Aviv for an estimated 12 million euros. On 4 August 2009, Shnaider sold the club to Canadian property developer Mitchell Goldhar, after investing $20 million in the club. Goldhar took on Shnaider's 80 per cent stake in the club by agreeing to take on its financial commitments; he also paid $750,000 to the Maccabi Tel Aviv sports foundation for its 20 percent stake.

Alex Shnaider Real estate

Shnaider partnered with Donald Trump in the construction of the Trump International Hotel and Tower, which is in Toronto. Trump was a minority shareholder in the project, and his firm owned the property management contract (the minority share and management contract were bought out in 2017, with the property renamed the Adelaide Hotel Toronto). In 2007, Shnaider was reported as having decided to keep the penthouse suite for himself, at an estimated value of $20 million. In 2017, the building and Shnaider were named as key links in a financial connection between Trump and the Russian government. Shnaider reportedly used proceeds from the sale of his Ukrainian steel mill to partially meet cost overruns at the Toronto Trump Tower.

In March 2010, Shnaider invested in a property consortium that bought Toronto's King Edward Hotel for $50 million. The asset was purchased in a distressed sale from Lehman Brothers. Shnaider originally invested alongside three other real estate companies, Skyline International Development Inc., Dundee KE Inc., and Serruya Realty Group Inc. However, on 1 August 2012, Omni Hotels & Resorts CEO James D. Caldwell also took a stake in the hotel; and on 24 November 2015, Omni Hotels and Resorts announced that it had bought the other parties out and fully owned the hotel.

In 2011, Shnaider formed a Delton Retail fund, a property group, with N3 Real Estate, owned by Dutch businessman A.D.G van Dam.

On 30 December 2015, Shnaider invested NIS₪39 million in Mishorim Development Ltd., a real estate company controlled by developer Gil Blutrich. Shnaider had already invested alongside Blutrich in the King Edward Hotel, which Blutrich invested in via Skyline International Development Inc., a Mishorim subsidiary. On July 2016, he increased his holdings in this company from 21% to 37%.

Alex Shnaider Personal life

Shnaider is married to Simona Shnaider (née Birshtein). They have three daughters. In August 2016, they sold their home in Bridle Path, Toronto, for $22 million.

Schnaider is President of the Jewish Russian Community Centre of Ontario.

I don’t think it is racist to ask questions about a country’s ability to host events after a natural disaster. First, being bad at geography is not the same as racist. I’ve met a lot of people who know nothing about Canadian geography and I certainly don’t think they are racist. Second, I can think of a couple of examples in figure skating where sporting events were cancelled/moved despite being nowhere near where other events in the country happened. In 2011, the World Figure Skating Championships were rescheduled and moved from Nagano after the tsunami in Fukushima. And in 2015, a Grand Prix event in Bordeaux was cancelled partway through after terrorist attacks in Paris.

Now I think those situations are different from Junior Worlds because of the current situation in Turkey because of time proximity. And potentially because of the sporting federations involved. But not because of distance.

The Japanese are also much more responsive to their own public perception. Anime episodes that referenced things even vaguely resembling natural disasters or political events in Japan have been cancelled and never aired after being finished.

When white people who don't know anything about a country including how large it is or the general economy imply that brown people aren't capable of making these decisions for themselves it is colonialist at the very least.

If you think "x city is a little east" of somewhere when it's 500 miles to the west and when you think that a country with the 20th largest economy in the world might lack resources to host an event the size of a small science fiction convention it involves a lot of assumptions about the capability of the Turkish people.
