12 hours after the midterms and the TTF gas price is already down 7%. Brent oil price down 9%. Maybe the markets sometimes begin to believe the radical right isn't really a good way to secure stability in the world.

Post a picture of the first car you ever drove. This one was bought by my dad for me, my brother and my sister. Very cool to shift and do roundabouts.

Verstappen 17 prodiums and 17 wins away to overtake Schumacher in the all time list. Schumacher...the one whom I thought was almost unbeatable when I was young. 4 races left this season. If he manages to get 3 more podiums he would be able to get the podium record next year 50/50 chance I guess.
Kimi Antonelli a good champion. He overtakes for third without hesitation. Podium will be with 3 drivers carrying 12 world titles. Did something like that happen before?
What I was thinking about the Ocon situation, maybe a conspiracy theory: did Haas provoke Ocon into this situation because they could get money from Toyota to drive one or two times?
Think Leclerc is going to win this one. Verstappen's starts arent great. And if you are behind someone it is very difficult to pass... Hamilton will be even more furious when that happens.

Super safe that crypto stuff. Why would you have banks when you could put all your earnings into a shady almost non regulated hype?
It looks like Binance is getting drained right now, across multiple hot wallets, for $2B and counting. Pretty normal for exchanges to migrate wallets, NOT normal for them to then swap to Tether and dump
Max Verstappen could be passing the number of podiums Michael Schumacher had in total next year...(And number of wins but thats very unlikely. An incredible number. When he would be racing until his 40's like Hamilton and Alonso he would easily get past Hamiltons record...
A bit of a boring race I must say. Apart from the Leclerc, Verstappen & Norris fight for p2 Nothing really special was happening... Hopefully next race in Mexico will be better. Credits to Antonelli. Leclerc, Verstappen and Lawson again do a very good job. Think the WC standings at the end will be
Been in Rome last week. And did some tours outside Rome as well. Hercaluneum was really cool (better than Pompeï), Ostia Antica gave a good impression how huge Rome must have been, but the best surprise was the Necropoli in Cerveteri... www.hunebednieuwscafe.nl/2020/11/de-e...

Verstappen is going to be 2nd in this WC. He and RedBull have found the rhythm they need. Charles is going to be third I guess, because he will catch Hamilton. Russel will become fourth. Antonelli is getting points each race...enough to get WC. Good job of him. Becoming consistent, a sign of a true
I had the opportunity to speak at BirghtonSEO last Friday, but what really stuck with me was the amount of homeless people in Brighton. On every street there were people sleeping, also during the rain. It really didn't feel good to sleep in an hotel room with extra beds in it and know these people
Only 40 points to become 2nd for Verstappen. Becoming 1st will again be too much, but the 2nd or 3d place are possible now. Norris, this will make the problems at McLaren bigger ...
I am awake at 3:47. Why? Because KLM cancelled my flight at 20.55 when I just arrived on the airport. Gave me some hotel room and told me to get the flight at 6.30 which means I have to get at the airport gat around 4.30. Thanks for not letting me sleep properly KLM. Hopefully I make it on time

The long US twentieth century has come to an end. The rise and fall of the American empire.
U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.
Great job Verstappen. Russel very disappointing. If you want to grab a minor chance to become World Champion you have to grab those opportunities. That's the difference between him and for instance Verstappen.
Russia’s new budget draft sets a record 17.1T RUB (~$220B) for defense. Combined with security, over 40% of state spending now burns in Ukraine. The Kremlin claims it can manage, but this isn't economic strength, it's pure fiscal cannibalization.
Russia plans to spend a record 17.1 trillion rubles, around $220 billion, on defence in 2027, swallowing up 35% of all state spending. With oil revenues falling and the budget deficit widening, Moscow will lean on tax hikes and borrowing to keep funding its war machine. www.kyivpost.com/post/85620
What will happen to Hamilton if he gets passed in points by Leclerc again? Its only 20 points between them. Since Britain Leclerc got 24 points more than Hamilton. I think Lewis will get frustrated very much over this because it and will decide 2027 is gonna be his last year...
Somehow I think Verstappen will end as nr 3 in the Championship after the Mercedes guys. And that would be incredible. It's never enough to get a win (or it rains) but to become third would be one hell of a job done.
This is what the Russians will break. A war economy looks artificially stable because it burns through its core capital and forces domestic banks to absorb its debt. Once the liquid cash reserves hit zero and transport networks fail, the system doesn't degrade smoothly...it collapses overnight.
