Estamos de suerte porque, a pesar de que la carrera de F1 en Canadá no fue estratosférica, bien es cierto que fue más que decente. A lo que hay que añadirle una preciosa edición de las 24 de Lemans y una memorable carrera en la Indy en Bommarito. Así que hemos tenido un gran fin de semana de motor que toca analizar, bien a fondo, esta semana en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Gran victoria de Russell. En Canadá gran victoria impecable de Russell, que logró un Hat Trick, seguido del que siempre está, Verstappen, y de Antonelli, que firmó su primer podio en F1 con 18 añitos, mostrando gran solidez al resistir la presión de los McLaren durante buena parte de la carrera. Excelente rendimiento, por tanto, de Mercedes. Carrera que tuvo muchas cosas, sobre todo, estrategia, algunos buenos adelantamientos, muchas investigaciones, polémicas y hasta choque de compañeros de equipos, ni más ni menos que en McLaren. Por supuesto, también la FIA puso su picante que, esta vez, quedó en nada. Los dos españoles, Alonso y Sainz, recogieron puntos, lo que siempre hace que la carrera se vea mejor. Decisiones estratégicas. La carrera estuvo marcada, como decimos, por la gestión de neumáticos, las decisiones estratégicas en boxes y por una gran variedad de sanciones e incidentes. Mientras algunos equipos apostaron por una sola parada, otros no pudieron evitar las dos, lo que abrió un amplio abanico táctico. La parada temprana de Verstappen en la vuelta 13 marcó una pauta, y pilotos como Albon y Leclerc protagonizaron momentos polémicos por radio debido a decisiones de equipo (que ellos consideraron) cuestionables. El comportamiento de los equipos dio para mucho, al ser tan diverso: Mercedes acertó de pleno, mientras que McLaren mostró gran ritmo pero arriesgó innecesariamente al final, lo que derivó en un toque entre Norris y Piastri a solo tres vueltas del final. Este incidente generó controversia, ya que solo se sancionó con cinco segundos a Norris y sin puntos de penalización, al considerar la FIA que no tuvo mayores consecuencias. La acción fue criticada por el equipo, que cuestionó si valía la pena comprometer la carrera de ambos coches por esa maniobra. Ferrari, frustración de ambos lados. Ferrari tuvo un rendimiento desigual, con Leclerc claramente frustrado con su estrategia. Hamilton se llevó para adelante a una marmota y rompió el suelo, lo que destrozó también su carrera. RB y Aston Martin pasaron más desapercibidos, pero Alonso consiguió sumar puntos… y terminó muy contento, sobre todo por el rendimiento del coche en la clasificación del sábado. Sainz, por su parte, más decepcionado, pues parece que el coche tenían un problema y desde el equipo no le dejaban apretar más… finalmente, fue décimo, mientras su compañero tuvo que abandonar. El “espectáculo” post carrera. La carrera también estuvo salpicada por sanciones postcarrera, como la de Stroll por su maniobra con Gasly (10 segundos y dos puntos en el carnet) y la advertencia generalizada a los que adelantaron con coche de seguridad. Al final no hubo penalizaciones, como hubiera sido correcto siguiendo el reglamento, entre otras cosas porque parece que ninguno de los pilotos involucrados conoce el reglamento adecuadamente y fue una situación excepcional. También el caso de Ocon, con un brake test a Sainz, quedó sin sanción. En resumen: GP de Canadá interesante por las estrategias, pero no excesivamente espectacular. Eso sí, con mucha, mucha polémica y mucho que debatir y analizar. Y si hay que escoger algo del Gran Premio, nos quedamos con el doble podio de Mercedes, la consistencia de Russell y la firmeza de Antonelli. Y, como no, con el inefable caso Verstappen: con un coche bastante peor que los McLaren (y los Mercedes) y a punto de cumplir una sanción por puntos en la licencia, y el tío se marca, una vez más, una soberbia carrera y un podio. Ahí sigue, en la lucha por el título sin nadie que le ayude. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

It finally happened, the McLarens came together, but who was to blame? Lando, it was Lando.

In Montreal zagen we de onvermijdelijke crash tussen Oscar Piastri en Lando Norris. Dat de McLaren-coureurs elkaar een keer zouden raken was te verwachten maar de manier waarop past helemaal bij het seizoen van Norris.

Las claves del GP Canadá F1 2025 Victoria contundente de Russell George Russell convirtió la pole en una victoria sin oposición. Mantuvo a raya a Verstappen en la salida, gestionó el ritmo y remató con la vuelta rápida. Primer triunfo del año para Mercedes, y cuarta victoria en el palmarés del piloto británico que está cuajando una gran temporada como líder del equipo. (La última la consiguió el año pasado en Las Vegas) Verstappen, sin ritmo, pero eficiente Max presionó en los primeros giros, pero sus neumáticos se degradaron pronto. Apostó por una estrategia agresiva, pero pronto tuvo que pasar a ser algo más cauto, lo que le permitió mantenerse segundo con un sintió final más cómodo donde gestiono el desgaste sin problemas. Admitió que fue lo máximo posible para Red Bull, y que la temporada es muy larga y todo puede pasar, en una clara alusión a sus opciones en el campeonato, en el que es tercero a 43 puntos de Piastri Primer podio de Antonelli en F1 Kimi Antonelli superó a Piastri en la salida y fue más rápido que Verstappen con el mismo compuesto. Resistió la presión en el stint final y firmó su primer podio con Mercedes siendo el tercer piloto más joven en conseguirlo con, tan solo por detrás de Stroll y Verstappen, y el primer italiano en hacerlo desde Trulli en el GP de Japón de 2009. Por aquel entonces Antonelli tenía solo tres años, y entre Vettel, Hamilton y Verstappen solo sumaban un título. El error de Norris y el caos en McLaren Norris remontó desde la P7, tras otra clasificación para olvidar, y alcanzó a Piastri en el tramo final. Lo intentó con todo a 4 vueltas del final, pero en su segundo ataque terminó tocando a su compañero y estampándose con el muro. El británico rápidamente asumió la culpa por la radio, y más tarde comento que había hecho el ridículo y que no puede permitirse errores así Piastri salva el cuarto lugar A pesar del toque con Norris, el australiano pudo continuar. Paró bajo coche de seguridad, puso blandos, pero la carrera ro se relanzó, y aseguró la P4, ampliando su ventaja en el campeonato a 22 puntos. Al acabar la carrera elogio a su compañero por reconocer su culpa, aunque admitió que no había tenido tiempo de ver y juzgar la acción. Ferrari discreta, con Leclerc y Hamilton en el top 6 Leclerc fue quinto, atrapado entre estrategias y remontando desde la octava posición tras una pésima clasificación en la que fallo en su vuelta final cuando apuntaba a un gran sábado. Hamilton, con daños desde el inicio al golpear una de las marmotas que andaban por los alrededores del circuito y más tarde con problemas en sus frenos, terminó sexto. Ambos Ferrari acabaron frustrados y lejos de luchar por el podio, en lo que claramente vieron como una oportunidad perdida de luchar, al menos, por alcanzar el podio con ambos coches. Alonso suma otra vez El asturiano fue séptimo, repitiendo puntos por segundo GP seguido. Buen resultado pese a no tener ritmo de cabeza. Se mostro algo resignado con el hecho de que no sancionasen a varios pilotos por una infracción bajo Safety Car que lo hubiese llevado al cuarto o quinto lugar. Hülkenberg y Ocon dan vida a Sauber y Haas Hülkenberg sumó por tercera vez en 2025 con su Kick Sauber y Ocon lo hizo por segunda vez con su Haas consiguiendo buenos puntos para sus equipos. Sainz, sin ritmo y sin protagonismo Carlos, perjudicado por una clasificación donde se vio atrapado en Q1 tras un impeding de Hadjar que no le permitió mejorar en su intento final, no encontró velocidad en ningún tramo de la carrera. Cayó fuera del top 10 durante buena parte del GP, y rescató un punto en la última fase gracias a abandonos ajenos. El madrileño aseguro que esta primera parte de la temporada es para olvidar en cuanto a resultados y espera mejorarlos de aquí en adelante Colapinto, lejos de la zona de puntos El argentino terminó 13º en Montreal tras una carrera condicionada por una estrategia equivocada. Aunque llegó a rodar cerca del top 10, su única parada en la vuelta 14 lo dejó expuesto a una alta degradación en el tramo final. Además, quedó atrapado en tráfico tras su pit stop y perdió ritmo luchando sin éxito con Gabriel Bortoleto. Colapinto fue crítico con Alpine: “Fue un desastre cómo se dio la carrera”. Aun así, destacó haber quedado delante de Gasly y valoró positivamente el ritmo en aire limpio. Austria será clave para su continuidad en la F1. Se va Luca de Meo: nueva sacudida en Alpine Renault anunció la sorpresiva dimisión de Luca de Meo como CEO del grupo, efectiva a partir del 15 de julio. Su salida llega en plena crisis deportiva de Alpine y supone una pérdida clave en la estructura que apostó por relanzar el proyecto de F1 en 2021. De Meo impulsó el cambio de nombre, la llegada de Briatore y la transición a motores Mercedes para 2026. Su marcha deja dudas sobre el futuro del equipo... y sobre el lugar de Colapinto más allá de Austria. Siete investigados, Norris sancionado... pero sin consecuencias reales Hasta siete pilotos fueron investigados por adelantar durante la fase final del Safety Car, pero la FIA optó por simples advertencias, algo que ya avisó que pasaría Fernando Alonso de forma irónica al acabar la carrera. Lando Norris sí recibió 5 segundos por su toque con Piastri, aunque al abandonar, no tuvo efecto… Si me permitís la expresión, DANTESCO. Tampoco hubo castigo a Esteban Ocon tras frenar a Sainz, ni prosperó la protesta de Red Bull contra Russell: la victoria del británico quedó ratificada. LOS DESTACADOS ⭐ La estrella: Russell y su cuarto triunfo en la F1 Dominio total de George en Montreal. Salida perfecta, gestión impecable y vuelta rápida para cerrar un fin de semana redondo. El estrellado: Norris Gran remontada desde la P7, pero la ambición le jugó una mala pasada. Se llevó por delante a Piastri en un intento desesperado y arruinó un doble top 5 para McLaren. ⚠️ El qué momento: El toque de los McLaren A falta de 4 vueltas, la lucha por el podio entre compañeros acabó en desastre. Norris tocó a Piastri en la curva 1 tras una intensa batalla. Coche de seguridad y fin de carrera. La sorpresa: El buen ritmo de los Mercedes Pese al calor, el W15 brilló como nunca. Russell ganó con autoridad y Antonelli se coló en el podio. Primer doble top 3 del equipo desde 2021 sin contar poles o vueltas rápidas. La próxima cita del calendario de Fórmula 1 es el Gran Premio de Austria, que se disputará en el Red Bull Ring (Spielberg) el fin de semana del 27 al 29 de junio de 2025, con la carrera principal programada para el domingo 29 de junio Presenta y dirige: Fernando Rivas https://twitter.com/rivasportauto Redacción Seguridad y Economía: Jose Lagunar https://www.linkedin.com/in/joselagunar/ Motorsport Javier Quilón: https://twitter.com/JaviviQuilon Puedes seguirnos en nuestra web: https://www.podcastmotor.es Twiter: @AutoFmRadio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autofmradio/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC57czZy-ctfV02t_PeNXCAQ Contacto: info@autofm.es

The Lance Stroll situation at Aston Martin is raising more questions than answers as he returns to racing in Montreal under a cloud of secrecy and speculation.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsLance Stroll is back behind the wheel for the Canadian Grand Prix just days after wrist surgery, but fans and pundits are questioning everything from his health to his body language and the mixed signals coming from Aston Martin. With vague statements, a last-minute private test and Stroll's reserved press conference demeanor, the story keeps getting stranger. The timeline around his injury and recovery doesn't quite match up, and details are scarce...leaving room for rumours and plenty of heated discussion in the F1 community. As the pressure mounts for points at his home race, every move is being looked at closely!This video covers the real reasons why the narrative around Stroll's return feels so off, what's being hidden behind medical confidentiality and how team politics and performance pressure are adding fuel to the fire. If you're curious about what's really going on inside Aston Martin, why the paddock is buzzing, then here you go!#f1 #lancestroll #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #astonmartinf1team #fernandoalonso #alonso #stroll #formula12025 #f1rumors #f1latest #f1news #f1updates #f1update #f1drama #spanishgp #spanishgrandprix #astonmartin

This week on FORMULA America: F1 Podcast, Kurt and Dylan help you get revved up for the Canadian Grand Prix— where the smoke's thick, the tension's thicker, and somehow Lance Stroll is still on the grid. Yes, Stroll's back for his home race (because of course he is), fresh off his latest wrist repair job. Will he impress the Canadian crowd? Let's be honest — probably not. But we'll cover it anyway, mostly out of obligation and mild disbelief. More importantly, the real battle is heating up between McLaren teammates. Kurt's boy Lando Norris is just 10 points behind Dylan's golden child Oscar Piastri in the championship standings. Expect some friendly banter, not-so-friendly jabs, and maybe a wager or two as the tension in the FORMULA America studio mirrors what's happening on track. Also on the docket: Max Verstappen's dangerously close to a race ban with just one penalty point to spare, the Canadian GP is fighting for survival on the calendar, and we throw down our predictions and fantasy league updates (where, let's be honest, at least one of us is delusional). Tune in for hot takes, cold sarcasm, and your favorite dose of F1 chaos — Canadian edition.

Max Verstappen is in Montreal maar één penaltypunt verwijderd van een schorsing en daarom zal de concurrentie loeren op een foutje van de wereldkampioen. De tegenstand zal daarom agressiever zijn, denken coureur Ho-Pin Tung en NU.nl-verslaggevers Joost Nederpelt, Patrick Moeke en Bas Scharwachter in deze vooruitblik op de Grand Prix van Canada.Vragen?Voor vragen of opmerkingen over De Boordradio kan je ons altijd mailen op podcast@nu.nl of je kan reageren via NUjij of X.Je kunt je ook gratis abonneren op de De Boordradio-podcast.

TIME EXTENSION Oscar takes another win, the 3rd driver in McLaren history to have a streak of 8 successive podiums. Steak have had a blinder, Bortoleto just missing Q3, but Hulkenberg was the man of the match. Is this the first sign of a transition to Audi? Alonso in the points, Stroll hit the wall, literally. It's party time at Aston. Here's hoping for more points. And the driver seat swapper has not delivered this week. A few questions to now ask, is Yuki up to it? Has Colapinto added anything more than Doohan? All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

This week, Lance Stroll's F1 career has been thrown into the spotlight like never before, with new rumours swirling regarding a potential temper tantrum during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn this video, we break down everything you need to know about the latest Lance Stroll controversy, from his supposed heated garage moment and reported equipment damage to the resurfacing of his old injuries from 2023 that could threaten his place on the grid. With BBC and other major outlets reporting on Stroll's visible frustration after being outpaced by Fernando Alonso again, plus the arrival of design legend Adrian Newey ramping up pressure inside Aston Martin, the stakes have never been higher. We also look at how Stroll's rushed recovery from surgery, ongoing pain and the possibility of Felipe Drugovich stepping in for Lance at the Canadian Grand Prix, it's fueling speculation about his future. As outside investors and new partners like Honda set their sights on Aston Martin's lineup, the video unpacks how team dynamics and performance expectations could force a major shakeup.#f1 #lancestroll #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #astonmartinf1team #fernandoalonso #alonso #stroll #formula12025 #f1rumors #f1latest #f1news #f1updates #f1update #f1drama #spanishgp #spanishgrandprix #astonmartin

Story Transcript:No: På en vårdag i Oslo ruslet Sigrid og Lars gjennom de trange gatene.En: On a spring day in Oslo, Sigrid and Lars strolled through the narrow streets.No: De var på vei til stemmelokalet.En: They were on their way to the polling station.No: Sigrid var full av energi.En: Sigrid was full of energy.No: Hun ønsket å stemme for en bedre fremtid og for bærekraftige løsninger i lokalsamfunnet.En: She wanted to vote for a better future and for sustainable solutions in the local community.No: Ved hennes side gikk Lars.En: Walking beside her was Lars.No: Han var mer tvilende til det hele.En: He was more doubtful about the whole thing.No: For ham føltes det ofte som om en stemme ikke hadde mye å si.En: For him, it often felt like one vote didn't matter much.No: Gatene var pyntet med fargerike blomster som stakk opp gjennom det frodige grøntområdene langs fortauene.En: The streets were decorated with colorful flowers that sprouted through the lush greenery along the sidewalks.No: Luften var frisk og full av vårens dufter.En: The air was fresh and full of the scents of spring.No: Oslo viste seg fra sin beste side, tenkte Sigrid.En: Oslo was showing itself from its best side, thought Sigrid.No: Hun håpet at dens skjønnhet også ville minne Lars om viktigheten av å bevare det vakre i lokalsamfunnet.En: She hoped that its beauty would also remind Lars of the importance of preserving what is beautiful in the local community.No: Mens de gikk, begynte regnet å dryppe forsiktig ned.En: As they walked, the rain began to gently drizzle down.No: Først var det knapt merkbart, men det ble raskt til en kraftigere vårbyge.En: At first, it was barely noticeable, but it quickly turned into a heavier spring shower.No: "Vi må skynde oss," sa Sigrid mens hun kastet et blikk opp mot den grå himmelen.En: "We need to hurry," said Sigrid as she glanced up at the gray sky.No: Lars nikket, selv om han fortsatt tvilte litt på hele ekspedisjonen.En: Lars nodded, even though he still had some doubts about the whole expedition.No: "Vi kan ta en snarvei," foreslo Sigrid, og pekte på en smal gate de ikke pleide å ta.En: "We can take a shortcut," suggested Sigrid, pointing to a narrow street they didn't usually take.No: Etter noen sekunders nøling nikket Lars.En: After a few seconds of hesitation, Lars nodded.No: "Greit, vi prøver," sa han, optimistisk på grunn av Sigrids entusiasme.En: "Alright, let's try," he said, feeling optimistic because of Sigrid's enthusiasm.No: De fortsatte gjennom de ukjente gatene.En: They continued through the unfamiliar streets.No: Regnet økte i intensitet, og snart var de begge gjennomvåte.En: The rain increased in intensity, and soon they were both soaking wet.No: De kom til et kryss i veien som virket kjent, men Sigrid måtte innrømme at hun ikke helt visste hvor de skulle ta veien videre.En: They reached a crossroads that seemed familiar, but Sigrid had to admit she wasn't quite sure where to go next.No: "Er du sikker på dette?En: "Are you sure about this?"No: " spurte Lars med et litt skjevt smil.En: asked Lars with a slightly crooked smile.No: Sigrid så seg rundt.En: Sigrid looked around.No: "Ja, nesten," svarte hun, med et snev av humor til tross for situasjonens alvor.En: "Yes, almost," she replied, with a touch of humor despite the seriousness of the situation.No: Etter et kort rådslag besluttet de seg for å holde kursen.En: After a brief consultation, they decided to stay the course.No: De styrte avsted, gjennomvåte og med regnet dansende rundt dem, men med et klart mål i sikte: stemmelokalet.En: They headed onward, drenched and with the rain dancing around them, but with a clear goal in sight: the polling station.No: Da de endelig kom frem, var det som en varm og innbydende oase midt i regnværet.En: When they finally arrived, it was like a warm and inviting oasis in the middle of the rainstorm.No: Det var fullt av naboer, alle samlet med samme hensikt.En: It was full of neighbors, all gathered with the same purpose.No: Sigrid så Lars i øynene og smilte bredt.En: Sigrid looked at Lars in the eyes and smiled broadly.No: "Se," sa hun, "vi klarte det.En: "See," she said, "we made it."No: " Hun håpet det ville gi Lars en forståelse for hva hun så i demokratiets kraft.En: She hoped it would give Lars an understanding of what she saw in the power of democracy.No: Lars så på folket rundt dem.En: Lars looked at the people around them.No: Han følte for første gang hvordan en stemme kunne være én del av en større helhet.En: For the first time, he felt how one vote could be a part of a greater whole.No: "Du har kanskje rett," sa han til Sigrid, smilende, og innså viktigheten av å delta.En: "You may be right," he said to Sigrid, smiling, realizing the importance of participating.No: De kastet sine stemmer og gikk tilbake ut i den friske vårregnet, som om favnet av en ny forståelse og med en følelse av samfunn.En: They cast their votes and went back out into the fresh spring rain, as if embraced by a new understanding and with a sense of community.No: Enkelt og greit, men likevel meningsfullt.En: Simple and straightforward, yet meaningful.

Welcome to my channel and to this Sleep Hypnosis recording. With this very personal session, I've brought you into my world as I take you on a guided nighttime walk around the streets of my (now) home city of Seville in the south of Spain. I moved here from the UK some years ago in the attempt to defeat some demons - but also to simply live a calmer, slower and more grounded style of life. So it's been a pleasure to write this script, in an attempt to bring some of this peace into your world - while as always - helping you drift off to sleep.Hypnotherapy is an incredible tool that enables us to speak to the subconscious part of the mind – the part that is in control of our emotions and habits, therefore enabling a much higher success rate than just desperately relying on willpower in the everyday conscious part of our brains.Please like and share my recordings - and of course, subscribe to my channel, as I'll be putting out more Hypnosis & Meditation videos as often as I can :).About Me: I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Coach based in Seville in Spain but I see clients online from all around the world, specialising in Alcohol Moderation and Abstinence.Please feel free to contact me for any enquiries via Instagram www.instagram.com/steveroetherapy.#hypnotherapy #forsleep #sleephypnosis #MaleVoiceHypnosis #deepsleep #sleepmeditationMusic – Enlightened Drift - Amber Glow c/o Epidemic Sound⚠DISCLAIMER⚠ All media content created by Steve Roe Therapy is intended for education and entertainment purposes only.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing.

Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari.

Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.
