A Brief History of esports (TL;DR)

originally from The Battle for Glory: esports, TV, and media I like (and don’t) Despite large streaming numbers, and upwards of 10 million viewers, esports isn’t considered mainstream in the public’s zeitgeist. There is an obvious market for esports, gaming, and video games in general, yet the idea of esports is foreign to most and is deeply misunderstood by people. I think that this…

AI’s Role in Improving eSports Event Production 

Cybersports has become a global phenomenon, capturing the attention of millions of viewers and therefore attracting major brands for marketing collaborations. The question is: how can we make these collaborations not only remarkable but also profitable and efficient? There are several AI-driven tools already being used—or will be used—during tournaments: AI-powered viewer analytics track audience reactions, measure engagement, and highlight the most buzzworthy moments. Can you recognize which Entyx tool does this? 

AI generates personalized content for advertisers, enabling dynamic ads and even AR effects. Neural Networks can analyze games in real time and may even contribute to the presenter’s commentary. AI-driven cameras could evolve into tools that monitor rule violations and alert judges about controversial moments. Curious? Let’s dive into this today! 

AI and eSports Event Production

AI in eSports is transforming the way eSports events are produced. AI algorithms automate broadcast management, personalize content for each viewer, and optimize ads in real time. This allows brands to integrate their ads naturally, resulting in more organic and positive viewer experiences. 

Moreover, eSports sponsorship analytics can analyze viewers’ behaviors and foreseen trends, helping advertisers choose the most effective audience engagement formats. One of the brightest examples of AI in the eSports event production is Riot Games’ Valorant Live Stats System.

During major tournaments like VCT (Valorant Champions Tour), AI analyzes and tracks gameplay in real time, automatically selecting the best moments and immediately reflecting the data, integrating stats into the broadcast. This opens many new opportunities for sponsors and keeps viewers engaged as you might have guessed.  

Advertisers can integrate their ads into the most exciting moments of the game—AI detects clutch rounds or highlights and automatically overlays graphics or replays cuts of the game with branded elements of the advertiser. In this way, sponsorship integrations look more natural, and dynamic and do not irritate the eye of a viewer. This approach is already being used in cybersports and is expected to become standard for major tournaments in the future.

How AI Is Applied Inside Sports Teams

Benjamin Franklin once said, “When you're finished changing, you're finished.” This perfectly captures the urgency sports teams feel in keeping up with evolving technology. Let’s take the Chicago Fire team, for example. Their analytics department uses advanced technology, including forms of artificial intelligence, to gain an edge in performance scouting and recruitment. They've scored goals specifically exploiting work that the machine learning modeling has told them are areas they can attack. 

Wearable GPS devices help Chicago Fire collect vast amounts of valuable data during both training and matches. The devices are distributed by a company called “Hudl” which works with elite teams across the globe. These devices allow teams to monitor a player's workload in real life during practice and games, optimizing every single training and practice session to match the game pace without risking soft tissue injuries. 

Five athletic programs at Northwestern use similar wearable devices including the Wildcats women's soccer team. They want fast, strong resilience to fit athletes and they make sure that they get to that point so when they're in the season they're ready to go. Coaches could tell athletes somewhat subjectively that it doesn't look like an athlete is running though like they have to cover more ground, but they can now pull out the data and point at the player of the competitor team who covered this much and compare to the athlete of the team, there's room to make up. When the light goes on, athletes start changing the way they train so that they can meet those physical demands. 

In the weight room, the men's basketball team uses a different piece of technology: a force plate to measure jump height, speed, force, and imbalances in body movements. It does give some insight as to what's going on. It allows them to put some data to some of these subjective measures they've had in the past, not just asking “How an athlete feels”. They have some data to back that up.

Do they have more to give you now? What do the numbers bear? What does science tell? It's just amazing the amount of AI-powered tools they now have to quantify these areas and help the athletes be at their very best. 

The data coaches collect with these devices can now be seamlessly integrated into real time broadcasts. And fans of each athlete can track his success in real time during tournaments. With the advent of AI in regular sports and eSports then, we'll see larger departments and maybe more data-driven processes on the whole as everyone is sort of in the arms race to continue to find those edges over the rest of the competition.

How AI Is Applied In eSports Teams

While AI in traditional sports helps athletes analyze their physical condition, in eSports, AI focuses on improving gaming strategies, monitoring player performance, and increasing engagement. 

The AI-driven platforms like SenpAI, Mobalytics, and others, analyze the actions of players, outline the mistakes, and offer strategies to improve performance. AI-driven cameras and eye-tracking technologies help study player focus, reaction time, and decision-making patterns. In cybersports, they also use smart gaming chairs and heart-rate monitors to track stress levels, and fatigue to help players stay on top of their performance levels. They also tend to use AI-assistant coaching as machine learning helps to assess the player's tendencies, analyze their game styles, offer personalized training sessions, and even simulate opponents’ strategies to better prepare.  

With the great expansion and development of AI in traditional sports, eSports teams are also implementing or about to implement these technologies to elevate their performance level. 

Why eSports Sponsorship Needs AI

Sponsors demand transparent data: How many viewers will see their brand? How long will their logo be on screen? What is the real cost of the collaboration? What eSports sponsorship ROI will they eventually get? 

The Entyx AI-powered marketing analytics platform tracks viewers' behavior, measures the time logos spend in a frame, and calculates interactions—such as clicks, mentions, and shares—in real time. We tracked sponsors of Formula 1 and calculated each brand’s logo in frame time, watch here. 

How does Entyx do it? No magic applied! Just a solid data tracking system involved!

Conclusion: The Future of AI in eSports Production

AI eSports trends are connected to automation, personalization, and improvements in viewer experience. AI-driven cameras will replace operators automatically tracking the key tournament moments and choosing the best points of view to improve the dynamics of the broadcast. AI algorithms analyze the gameplay in real time and automatically point cameras to the most epic moments like kill streaks and clutches. The future of sponsorship in gaming sticks with AI technology which easily outlines the most epic game moments and automatically creates cuts to share broadcasts on social media to also give additional exposure to the sponsors. 

This technology makes cybersports broadcasts more exciting and convenient for the audience, sponsors, and event organizers. And of course, AI-powered marketing platforms like Entyx improve ad campaigns by making them more measurable, efficient, and profitable for sponsors. Entyx helps choose the best partners based on their performance in real time and tracks logos, calculates Media Value of every collaboration of yours. Ready to use AI automation?

Eunseok × Você

Gênero: fluffy

w.c: 1.2k

n.a: eu tive essa ideia inicialmente com o Jungwoo, mas eu vi essas fotos do Eunseok e imediatamente soube que o plot estava destinado para ele.

WARNINGS: não gostei muito disso, mas eu não quis jogar fora porque gosto do cenário. Menções a Kento Yamazaki, Frozen (porque o Seunghan cantando “Vejo uma porta abrir” não deixa minha cabeça de jeito nenhum e ao anjo Gabriel (???). Jogadores de vôlei, desculpa ai se eu pequei com algum termo!

Boa leitura, docinhos! 💚

Eunseok sempre foi um garoto sossegado, espantosamente silencioso para um garoto do colégio, falava com todo mundo desde que não fosse a pessoa que toma a iniciativa, fazia parte da trindade divina masculina da escola composta por ele, o encantador Sohee e o irritante Seunghan, cobiçados pela grande maioria dos estudantes, você no entanto só tinha uma quedinha por um deles. Eunseok tinha certo grau de miopia e às vezes perdia suas lentes de contato em algum dos treinos dos um bilhão de esportes que ele praticava, forçando-o a utilizar óculos de armação retangular e levemente grossa, como Kento Yamazaki em “Wokatoi”, e você meio que o achava atraente demais com o adereço, torcendo para que, sei lá, as lentes de contato fossem magicamente magnetizadas para a caixa de areia do gato mais próximo.

Naquela tarde ensolarada você descobriria que Eunseok não era o único que manifestava sinais bastante evidentes de TDAH.

— Merda — Você praguejou baixo, segurando a ponte do nariz com as pontas dos dedos enquanto a mão vazia te impedia de encontrar a areia fofinha, embora sua cabeça latejante dissesse que aquela era a melhor escolha a ser feita. Como líder da equipe de vôlei feminino da escola, você estava indo bem até o segundo e penúltimo set, nenhum devaneio lascivo rondando sua mente, absolutamente nenhum pensamento embaraçoso contendo mãos bobas e ágeis, mesmo quando a do Song estalou contra a de Wonbin num high five animado, tudo estava correndo dentro dos conformes, mas aí Eunseok suspendeu a camisa até a altura da testa secando o suor e oferecendo a plateia uma visão privilegiada do seu corpo magro e atlético.

E sabe como é, né? Entre levar uma pancada de bola de vôlei e deixar-se fascinar pela centésima vez pelo garoto que você venera desde o fundamental – e que raramente é tão exibicionista assim – ou jogar seu esporte favorito tirando proveito das suas habilidades conquistadas através de anos de prática, existe um consenso universal sobre a primeira escolha.

— Ei, você tá bem? — Eunseok ajoelhou-se ao seu lado, plantando a mão firme em seu ombro como se estivesse cumprimentando um dos caras do time, com a diferença de que o peso te deixava nervosa. Lentamente, você elevou os olhos, fazendo-os percorrer da camiseta onde se lia “Team Seok” na parte de trás, até as mechas de cabelo castanho-claro que se grudavam no rosto suado e de volta para o olhar arregalado de aflição, Eunseok resplandecia de uma forma tão absurda que para você não seria demasiado ilógico se ele estivesse ali apenas para alertá-la de que teria um filho sendo virgem.

— Sim — Respondeu, depois do que pareceu um século e uma comparação bem óbvia com o anjo Gabriel — Tô só um pouco zonza.

— É, sua testa tá começando a inchar... — Ele constatou, com o cenho franzido de preocupação. Atrás dele, sua parceira de jogo assistia toda aquela cena de filme adolescente, com os braços cruzados e as sobrancelhas elevadas, afinal nem mesmo uma torção no tornozelo te fez perder os últimos dez minutos do set no campeonato interescolar, imagine então quão desprezível deve ser uma bolada segundo seus critérios — Sohee deve ter algum gelo. Vamos lá, você não pode ficar debaixo desse sol quente.

— O que foi que você fez, hyung? — Eunseok manteve os dedos entrelaçados com os seus até chegarem no restaurante de frutos do mar (atraindo muitos olhares, bocas abertas e rostos perplexos), Sohee trabalhava lá nas férias de verão como garçom, todavia quando o pessoal do colégio decidia marcar reuniões no estabelecimento com a intenção evidente de atazaná-lo, o pequeno palco para apresentações tornava-se inteiramente dele e algumas músicas coreanas e internacionais eram entoadas no embalo de uma plateia animada.

— Pensei que você fosse imbatível. Como a mulher maravilha — Seunghan girou o banco alto de forma a ficar de frente para você e Eunseok, especificamente nesse recesso ele tinha se interessado pela vaga de salva-vidas do clube e vivia encharcado com a quantidade de garotas que encenavam quedas e afogamentos apenas para serem resgatadas pelos braços malhados, mas Seunghan costumava ser atencioso com as crianças e suas famílias — Que foi? Sua cabeça dura não te ajudou dessa vez?

— Cala a boca, Seunghan — Como punição, Eunseok confiscou o copo de um drink azul da mão do amigo e o pressionou sobre sua lesão, fazendo você chiar pelo contato do copo gelado contra sua pele e pela proximidade repentina do atleta, sentada no banquinho elevado feito Seunghan ao seu lado, Eunseok se encontrava nitidamente em pé, entre as suas coxas, no entanto ele parecia bastante absorto e responsável pelo pequeno calombo na sua testa para reparar no seu peito subindo e descendo numa velocidade fora do normal.

“Talvez ele estivesse tão perto porque não enxergava muito bem”, seu coração se encheu de esperança com a possibilidade dos óculos entrarem em ação assim, de repente.

— Toma, coloca isso — Sohee estendeu gelo enrolado num pano de prato para substituir o improviso de Eunseok, pelo canto do olho, você percebeu uma conversa não verbal entre os dois integrantes do trio, Seunghan indicava você e Eunseok com a cabeça enquanto Sohee aparentava não entender do que se tratava, até que seus olhos amendoados cresceram numa clara constatação, como quando você descobre que o príncipe Hans não passa de um canalha em “Frozen” — Sungchan hyung tá com uns três palitos de picolé premiado. A gente vai atrás dele.

— Picolé de graça — Seunghan bateu no ombro de Eunseok ao passarem por nós e deixarem apenas o barulho das crianças animadas nas piscinas, e o bater de talheres em mesas distantes do bar. Internamente você se questionou porque aquela atitude insinuava tanto suspense, porém foi incapaz de estudar os fatos quando o hálito mentolado e doce do garoto alcançou suas narinas ao soprar suavemente:

— Por que você não sacou? — Você engoliu em seco, sentindo a febre chegar quando Eunseok pôs a tentativa de bolsa térmica gelada sobre o balcão.

— Saquei o que?

— A bola — Ele sorriu pequeno, optando por dar um tempo para o inchaço e só fitar os seus olhos, suas pupilas se expandindo a cada frase proferida.

— Me distrai — Um ponto de interrogação surgiu no lindo rosto de Eunseok, você ajudou-o afastando o cabelo liso para poder contemplá-lo melhor, mal acreditava que admitiria aquilo — Com você.

— Comigo? Por que? — Eunseok exalava curiosidade e ansiedade, no entanto, dessa vez, quem não percebia o impercebível era você que só conseguia enxergar o rosto sereno e impassível do rapaz, afinal essa era uma de suas especialidades: fingir a mais plena placidez mesmo surtando por dentro.

— Porque... Eunseok, olha, eu sei que você escuta isso todo dia mas... — Durou dois segundos, mas os lábios de Eunseok estavam sobre os seus, agora a boca rosinha brilhava um bocado devido ao gloss que residia nos seus lábios, você pensou que fosse desmaiar quando a mão masculina afastou seus cabelos da nuca e permaneceu bem ali, massageando a pele, fazendo o dedão repousar deliciosamente no centro da sua garganta.

— Gosto de você desde o fundamental — Declarou, irrequieto, piscando e alternando o foco das íris.

— Eu gosto de você desde o fundamental — Vocês sorriram simultaneamente e Eunseok deixou outro beijo sutil nos seus lábios, te roupando a consciência da gravidade e te fazendo sentir como se estivesse flutuando no planeta Terra e não num satélite natural como a lua.

— Então a gente vai ter que competir pra ver quem gosta mais de quem — Você abraçou o corpo dele, um tanto espantada com o fato de que aquilo era real e desceu do banquinho alto para respondê-lo:

— Quem beijar mais vence.

Random WHB tier lists based on games/franchises I've recently had brainrot of

I may not play WHB regularly now (no, seriously, last time I played was during the Tortured Leviathan Nightmare Pass, then Girls Frontline 2: Exilium and especially my Puyo Puyo + Trauma Center obsessions resurfacing from high school happened) but I still love some characters a bit too much to truly let go of them aha...Marbas, Lucifer, Minhyeok, Belial, Gusion, and Naberius, my beloveds-

But more than that I guess it's more of like...my old obsessions being annoying brainworms again, which leads to brainrot, essentially. That, and watching an unhealthy amount of League of Legends esports content.

Fair warning that most of these are purely based off vibes!

So, without further ado...

1.WHB as MOBA players when facing an OP character

Yes, this is the MOBA brainrot speaking.

As for tier explanations:

Tier 1: Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Tier 2: When Mewtwo X and Zacian were first released in Pokemon Unite, many players were so disgusted by how utterly overpowered they were (these two Mons can easily 1v5 coordinated efforts to kill them, even in the hands of not-so-skilled players). It got to a point a subset of these disgusted players actively griefed and trolled those who played them.

Tier 3: Doublelift had this to say about Yuumi, who was a notoriously overpowered Support in League of Legends:

"I am not kidding when I say that if they removed Yuumi from [League of Legends], it would be a better game."

Tier 4: Heo "ShowMaker" Su, professional League of Legends player, had this to say about the then-OP Champion known as K'Sante...keep in mind this is just the K'sante rant, which has become a meme, and the original stream highlight as uploaded by his esports team (Dplus KIA) was simply titled "NERF THIS".

Tier 5: Comfey is essentially Yuumi in Pokemon Unite, which is why people said it's overpowered in coordinated play. Notably, spragels has an entire video going in-depth about how Comfey breaks the game and how to, essentially, mitigate the sheer brokenness of the Mon.

Tiers 6 and 7: self-explanatory

2. WHB as Arknights Icebreaker Games players

A bit of context - Icebreaker Games was a multiplayer co-op game mode where players deploy their own squad of units on the same map (this was different from the R6S collaboration event's co-op game mode, where both players are on different but connected maps).

Wis'adel is an absolutely BROKEN Operator whose usage was criticized in Icebreaker Games for being such an insane DPS she essentially ignores stage mechanics and having her Revenants taking up three extra deployment tiles that your teammate might want to use. She absolutely can easily win stages (tier 1) but her Revenants is how most people who want to troll use her (tier 2).

Seeing this, many players attempt to try and limit Wis'adel from ever being used. Some do it in a more violent way using Aak (tier 3) - who inflicts damage on an Operator in his range before buffing them. He's most commonly to buff Operators with high Defense...a stat Wis'adel lacks, so she just Dies.

More peaceful players would put Wis'adel in their subs and simply Not Pick Her whenever she shows up in their randomly-generated picks (tier 4). Not the most foolproof strategy, but it helps.

Last two tiers are, again, self-explanatory.

3. WHB as Puyo-Puyo AI levels

Puyo Puyo is a competitive puzzle game where your main goal is to make your opponent's board fill up to the 'X' of their field. You do this by sending what is known as Nuisance Puyo to your opponents, generated by popping the regular Puyo you drop into your field.

Regular Puyo, which are the colored blobs, are cleared by matching four of the same color together. Nuisance Puyo, the grey blobs seen in Lemres (COM1) and Yellow Satan's (COM3) fields, can only be cleared by clearing regular Puyo touching them. You are expected to create chains in order to generate more Nuisance Puyo by arranging your regular Puyos in a way that when one regular Puyo set is cleared, it'll cause another regular Puyo set to be cleared - like what Ecolo (COM2) is doing to the red Puyo set by clearing the yellow Puyos below it. The row on top of your board gives a visual indicator of how many Nuisance Puyo are about to be dropped onto your field (the limit is six rows at once), and you can chip away at it by clearing Puyo chains of your own (otherwise known as offsetting).

The general difficulties are as follows, starting from the ones at the bottom (i.e. easiest difficulty):

Beginner difficulty: allows gravity to drop the Puyo, doesn't really try to form a chain higher than 2. Rotates their Puyo minimally.

Joke AI: uses fast drop to build their joke build before actually playing, prioritizing clearing Puyos in their joke build. Their joke builds may include stacking all Puyos to the sides (Yu and Rei, Dongurigaeru), or stacking Puyo evenly up to a certain height (Suketoudara).

Normal difficulty: will actively attempt to make chains (a 3-chain is the average), but will still let gravity drop their Puyo - until around halfway down the field, where they will then fast drop the Puyo.

Tough, but fair: will bunch Puyos up in threes for ease in chaining, it's not uncommon for them to suddenly pull out 3+ chains. Will fast-drop their Puyo. Starting here, the AI will rush to start a chain to offset any incoming attacks. In 20th Anniversary, in game modes where rotate-stalling is a legitimate strategy to win, they'll do it.

Very tough: the previous tier, cranked up to 11.

Rubber band AI: the AI plays better when you play better...but the issue is that Strange Klug is essentially the final boss of Fever 2, so his base difficulty is already hard.

Unfair: can and will counter your measly 3-chain with a 7-chain, essentially generating enough Nuisance Puyo to fill your board completely unless you offset it. Plays optimally and shows no mercy, including stalling and fast/hard-dropping Puyo in modes that allow them (instantly teleports Puyo to the bottom of the field).

4. WHB in Trauma Team game modes

Disclaimer: This tier list is made while ignoring the fact that all of them, save for the Paradise Lost demons, absolutely cannot function in an actual hospital scenario.

Trauma Team, released in 2010, is the final instalment in the Trauma Center franchise, a series of medical malpractice- I mean anime surgery simulator games by Atlus (famously known for the Shin Megami Tensei games). We use the term 'surgery simulator' very lightly because, well, it's very anime at times (you fight bioweapons in all previous instalments) and there are still some medical inaccuracies (like operating on a still-beating heart).

Trauma Team, for the most part, is tamer compared to all of its previous instalments. Very standard hospital procedures - until the Rosalia chapter, where you deal with the Rosalia Virus epidemic (which becomes harsher in hindsight when you realize Trauma Team's events happened in 2020 of their canon and the Rosalia Virus is an Ebola-type virus). It has more game modes compared to the previous games, and this tier list would pretty much fit them into the 'vibes' of the Trauma Team game modes...save for the last two tiers.

Surgery: What we often call the 'standard Trauma Center game mode'. Surgery deals with most standard surgical procedures, and in Trauma Team especially a lot of them are very detailed. Most of the time you're only dealing with one patient in each level - in previous games, there were times when you had to deal with multiple patients in one level.

First Response: Always at the scene of an accident or disaster, this game mode focuses on giving first aid and stabilizing victims before transporting them to the hospital for further treatment. The gameplay is frantic, and you're expected to juggle multiple patients at the same time while keeping them alive.

Endoscopy: One of the harder game modes for most, Endoscopy has you, well, operate an endoscope to treat internal wounds - usually conditions within either the digestive or respiratory tracts. Gameplay consists of moving the endoscope around and treating symptoms as they appear.

Orthopedics: Bone surgery, essentially. Along with Endoscopy, it's a game mode that requires delicate control of the Wii remote's motion controls. As such, the amount of precision needed is insanely high, and it rewards careful gameplay. Chip and drill away at bone, affix synthetic bone, treat bone cancer - this game mode has it all.

Diagnosis: Your standard consultation. One of the two more chill game modes, you're really only taking note of symptoms based on patient interview and observations, as well as comparing chart results with potential diagnosis. Requires some creative thinking to get the symptoms you need, for example asking your patient to lift his shirt after he coughed to reveal the fact he has bloody sputum as his clothes came out stained afterwards.

Forensics: The only game mode that doesn't involve medical treatment, and is the other chill game mode. You're solving mysterious deaths, piecing together evidence to deduce and determine how they happened. As an aside, wondering why this game mode is in Trauma Team? Because Naomi Kimishima, the character you play as in Forensics, was a surgeon previously known as Nozomi Weaver, who was playable back in Trauma Center: Second Opinion.

The nurses: Staples in all of the previous instalments, they're your surgical assistants who often remind you of procedures - yes, this includes reminding you to be careful while extracting objects or what tools you're supposed to use. Their role is mostly replaced in Trauma Team by the other doctors or the chairman of their hospital (Esha Patel), except for Diagnosis and Forensics. In Diagnosis, you have RONI, a state-of-the-art computer that eases Gabriel Cunningham (the doctor for Diagnosis) with his job. In Forensics, Naomi is assisted by her previous coworker, Navel (aka Little Guy).

The patients: Self-explanatory, for one reason or another.

what has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?

Natalie Robyn will leave the role of CEO of FIA after little over one year in the position after a “mutual agreement”

there is a rumour about Logan’s manager speaking to Haas for the opportunity of American team hiring American driver from next season onwards (reminder that Kevin is likely out of contention, Ollie is the hottest candidate and Guanyu is next in talks with Haas according to the paddock gossip)

the Chicago GP was denied …for now (so at this point you have to consider it being a possibility, potentially rotating circuit?)

Merc apparently offered Carlos a one year contract, since they want to keep their options open (potentially for Max leaving or for Kimi stepping up into the team), Red Bull is keen on keeping Checo (although Marko denied they would give him the 3 years contract extension he would like to get) so that door is closing, Audi reportedly extended the deadline on the decision from Carlos till around Monaco

there will be a special edition of Ferrari Trento on the podium this weekend (I’m adding a picture below) and special awards with names of previous winners including people of Emilia Romagna for the year 2023

Williams posted Lap of Legends with Logan driving against AI programmed legends (Andretti, Hill, Manson, Prost, Button, Villeneuve)

Alex Albon extended his Williams contract on multiple year basis (meaning he will be driving with the team through the new regs, but with Fred and Charles starting a new fashion in F1, we simply don’t know how long exactly that contract is)

Domenicali confirmed 25 races a season is a maximum stated by the Concorde Agreement, but he wants to expand F1 calendar in other ways (rotating circuits, more sprints, some journals even talk about sprints at every race weekend)

Ferrari esports team won the constructor championship

Max is supposed to be joining Team Redline this weekend because apart from Imola he is said to be racing in virtual 24 hours of Nürburgring (but with how their weekend is going so far? who knows)

F3 drivers Alex Dunne and Martinius Stenshorne became members of the McLaren junior academy

speaking of juniors, Nikola Tsolov, Martinius Stenshorne and Arvid Linblad (Alpine, McLaren and Red Bull juniors) broke the sporting code by racing in different series without announcing it (the reports differ about who raced where, if they announced it to their teams or to FIA) – the result is, Tsolov and Stenshorne will get a race ban, one of Spa, one for Silverstone, and Lindblad will only get a fine, because he didn’t race in a full race just took a part in testing/practice before the real race

reminder for people watching Sky Sports, that David Croft won’t be in this weekend, and Harry Benjamin is stepping in his place

FIA is considering a different penalty system for continuous penalties and for the situation where a driver gains advantage by leaving the track (Kevin started a revolution)

Domenicali also spoke about a possible engine change for 2030 regulations as the feedback from fans is that they miss the good old sound of F1 (so possibly more noise)

team principals (and Domenicali) had a shared dinner together in Imola and Andrea Stella didn’t get the memo about the dress code for the night

More than Equal initiative founded by David Coulthard and a Czech businessman Karel Komárek started a driver development programme with first 6 female drivers between 13 and 14 years from across the world including Czechia and Slovakia (and 4 more female drivers under the age of 13 got their backing)

31st world stars charity football match between star team for the children and all stars drivers will be held in Monaco on 21st May (we have yet to get confirmed who will be present)

Adrian Newey said he is ready to join another team after a short holiday and according to Jonathan Mcaboy, he already signed with Ferrari

in the latest interview James Vowles reminded that letting go of Logan in the middle of the season is not planned but he has to be open and say that he is at risk of losing his seat for next season because they are talking to 4-5 other drivers (he also said that their car is about 15 kgs overweight and their new upgrade introduced here is meant to fight that problem)

head aerodynamicist Gioacchino Vino is leaving Mercedes but they will get Simone Resta (strategy) and Enrico Sampo (performance) joining as soon as in October (side note: some reports say Vino was poached by Ferrari but 1: it is one not very reliable source, I highly doubt this is a figure Ferrari would go for and there are also reports it was not his choice to leave the team)

Pierre will run an auction for his tribute helmet for Senna after this weekend and donate the money to his charity

Charles said that Xavi leaving was a team decision, and he was informed after Miami

Valtteri Bottas held talks with James Vowles behind closed doors in Imola
