@emzerielo Interest dipped massively after the conclusion of 2021 season. Netflix saved F1 they say, killed it more like. The new regs are a travesty. Phoney and frighteningly dangerous.

@F1_driven He’s 8-times world champion in my eyes. Best driver/role model since my hero Jim Clark.

The comeback starts now.
After a scary accident on training yesterday, I underwent surgery last night and everything went well.
With a fracture to my rib, shoulder blade, hand, contusions to my lungs and a dislocation of my right clavicle which has caused all surrounding ligaments to be torn, it's going to be a long journey but I’m fully focused on my recovery and I’m determined to come back stronger, step by step.
I’m very grateful for all the help and support I received the last 24 hours. From the emergency services, the neighbours that helped me in the first moment, the medical teams in Anderlecht and Herentals and our team doctor Phil Jansen.
Also a special mention for my wife, my family for standing by me in these difficult moments and to everyone for their supportive messages.
I also want to express my support to the woman who was involved in the accident.

@JJWatt The world was screaming “TIME OUT!” But no one heard us : (

@JJWatt The notion of a club moving to another town or city is virtually unheard of. An appalling thought for brits. Green Bay, as someone in the comments remarked, is the closest to this in the NFL.

@Cambeezy_ OMG. A little miracle in an ocean of meh. Outstanding.

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. Others were being treated by being placed on an extremely strict diet, which inevitably led to starvation.
These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death. The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.
As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room that was full of death and gloom, suddenly became a place of joy and hope.
In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes. Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923.
In the same year, Banting, Collip, and Best decided to sell the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1.
Banting famously went on to say, "Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world."
