Williams official test driver driver Roy Nissany has been hailed as a future world champion by one of his key financial backers.

Son of former racing driver Chanoch Nissany, the 25-year-old Israeli was signed up for development duties with Williams at the start of the season. He will combine the role with a new campaign in the 2020 Formula 2 championship with Trident Racing.

Nissany had his first taste of F1 way back in 2014 when he tried out the Sauber C31 at the Circuito Ricardo Tormo. Last December he took part in post-season testing at Abu Dhabi, and had been pencilled in for three Free Practice sessions in 2020 as well as a rookie test.

Although he currently lacks sufficient points to be eligible for an FIA superlicence, Nissany has already done enough to catch the eye of Canadian businessman Sylvan Adams, who is confidently setting high objectives for Nissany in the coming years.

“The ultimate goal is to win a drivers championship,” Adams told Motorsport Magazine last week. “Roy is a winner, why should we set our bar lower than that?

“The fast track plan is for Roy to be an actual F1 driver by 2021,” he added. “I think we’ve got a winner here, so for me the bar is very high.

“Roy is a special talent,” Adams continued. “Williams tested him and they came away so impressed with two things: his actual driving skill and his communication skills.

“His feedback that he was giving to the engineers about the car – he did it in the simulator, he did it in the car in Abu Dhabi – they were really really impressed.

“They basically told me they hadn’t seen a young driver with that kind of poise and cerebral understanding and communication skills to give them back this kind of feedback

“I’m super-excited. For me it was validation hearing the engineers of Williams talk about Roy and extolling his qualities and virtues. I had a notion that he was pretty good and now I really am extremely confident this kid is going places.”

Moreover, Adams declared his loyalty for Williams F1 as a whole, whose deputy team principal Claire Williams badly needs some good news at the moment. He said that the non-corporate, family atmosphere appealed to him

“We’re planning to drop anchor at Williams and earn all of our success with Williams,” he stated emphatically. “I think that Claire is determined to restore Williams to its former glory. When we combine forces together, we can conquer the world!”

But combining forces doesn’t mean that Adams is seeking to invest in the team, as his compatriots Lawrence Stroll and Michael Latifi had flirted with in the past.

“Lawrence Stroll is a car racing fanatic and always has been all his life, so his son is fulfilling his personal dream,” Adams pointed out. “For him to actually own a team and have his son race for that team I would imagine is deeply, deeply satisfying.

“In the case of Nicholas Latifi, I know his father Michael Latifi. Again there’s a long-standing support of his son that he had for many many years,” he said. “It is quite a coincidence that [we are] three Canadians.

“I find it a very serendipitous one. We will be able to compare notes and have a friendly competition between us Canadians and see who will ultimately prevail. I like my pick!”

However Adams makes it plain that his chief aim is to raise the profile of Israel as a nation in top-level international sporting championships.

“The idea of seeing the Israeli flag on the car and Roy being beamed to 350m to 400m television viewers every couple of weeks is going to be quite something,” said the 63-year-old property tycoon, who relocated from Canada to Israel four years ago.

“My projects are reaching over the media to reach people, regular people and just show them the country,” he continued. “[We want to] say, ‘Look, there we are, this is what we are: in a rough neighbourhood, a very open, tolerant democratic society and we do interesting things.'”

Adams hinted that rather than investing in any single F1 team, his future F1 ambitions might be better achieved by setting up a driver academy in the same style as the Red Bull junior programme overseen by Dr Helmut Marko.

“It’s probably premature for me to talk academies and other things,” he acknowledged. “But certainly my track record speaks to wanting to develop the sports or activity I’m involved in and to provide opportunities for the youth of Israel.

“Why shouldn’t we have an academy that generates a pipeline of drivers leading to further success? We have this special case called Roy Nissany, I’m looking at him as possibly an aspirational figure for kids today who are looking at him.”

Former F1, IndyCar and NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya won The Race Legends Trophy ROKiT Triple Crown title by a narrow margin from David Brabham in a dramatic conclusion to the Esports competition.

After online races held over previous weekends at Monaco and Indianapolis, the double points finale was staged at Le Mans.

The last round consisted of a short three-lap sprint followed by the main 45-minute endurance event in which the Legends were joined on track by all the other classes competing in the overall ROKiT Triple Crown tournament.

For the finale organised by motorsport publication The Race, The Legends were grouped into the LMP2 class and started from the front, with Rubens Barrichello having earlier qualified in pole position.

The Brazilian proved to be in a class of his own throughout, immediately taking the lead of the race and sailing off into the distance. Karun Chandhok slotted into second place, and the pair were eventually joined on the podium by Oriol Servia.

The main excitement was the battle for fourth between Montoya and Andy Priaulx. Montoya had a safe lead early on but spun after contact with Servia, and after that was left in a dog fight with Priaux for the rest of the race.

With Montoya’s title rival David Brabham gradually creeping up the order to finish in seventh place, it was essential for the Colombian to take fourth to win the championship.

Things got rough on the final lap and Montoya once again clashed with Seria and also bumped Priaulx before finally crossing the line in the coveted fourth place. The result stood after a stewards review of what had taken place.

It meant that Montoya finished the Triple Crown series with 248 points, just four clear of Brabham. Priaulx himself was third in the final standings ahead of rally star Petter Solberg.

Fernando Alonso ended the championship in fifth, despite having gone into the final race in contention for the title after winning the earlier sprint event.

Alonso had started from the back of the 14-car grid for the short race after a mistake on his first qualifying lap left him too late to set a time on his second. However he quickly scythed through the pack to take victory and reignite his title hopes.

With no reverse grid this weekend, Alonso again started from 14th place at the back of the LMP2 class in the endurance race, albeit this time toward the front of a full 58-car grid. However Alonso was knocked off-track at the start as a consequence of a clash between Michel Jourdain Jr and Helio Castroneves, with damage to his car proving too severe to allow him to continue.

Elsewhere, Nissan Formula E driver Oliver Rowland succeeded Nicki Thiim as Pro Cup champion. Despite losing places at the start due to the clash with another car on the grid, Rowland fended off an early challenge from Tom Dillmann and benefitted from longtime series leader Agustin Canapino getting involved in an LMP2 incident.

Rowland took the class lead from Bradley Smith just before the midway point of the race, and went on to claim the the LMP3 class victory with a two second gap over Dillmann. It gave Rowland a one point lead over Canapino to clinch the championship, with Dillman taking overall third place.

The Sim Masters title was claimed by Yuri Kasdorp by ten points from Muhammed Patel and Liam de Waal, with the class win in Saturday’s event taken by real-world former BTCC driver Mike Epps.

Epps slipstreamed his way into the lead past Dawid Mroczek and Michi Hoyer down the Mulsane straight and then managed to successfully parry Kasdorp’s attempts to take over.

“I’ve really struggled with this car,” he said after the end of the race. “The GT3 car on rFactor2 is quite a wishy-washy, quite slippy-slidey car to drive.

“I didn’t really have enough laps, so I didn’t qualify that well, but thanks to all the carnage at the start, I think I wound up in third,” he continued. “I thought, flippin’ heck, we could win this now!

“Then some of my fellow pros in the P3 cars kept overtaking me and then going off, and then overtaking me and then going off, so they gave me a really good slipstream to hold out a good lead for about half of the race.

“It was absolute carnage, but it was a really good race. I was laughing, sweating, everything. It was a full-on proper simrace, that one.”

Une équipe internationale a identifié plusieurs facteurs qui pourraient augmenter le risque qu’ont les enfants de devenir obèses.

Cette nouvelle étude, menée par des équipes de l’University of Southern California et du Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a pris en compte des données concernant 1.301 enfants âgés de 6 à 11 ans et leurs mères, dans six pays européens (France, Grèce, Lituanie, Norvège, Espagne et Royaume-Uni).Contrairement aux études précédentes, qui s’étaient concentrées sur un ou deux facteurs environnementaux, les chercheurs ont utilisé ces données pour évaluer l’exposition des enfants à 77 facteurs environnementaux in utero et 96 au cours de l’enfance, comme l’exposition à la pollution, au tabac, aux métaux lourds, aux pesticides, et à des espaces verts.“Les sujets ne sont pas exposés uniquement à un seul produit chimique au cours de leur vie”, a expliqué le Dr. Lida Chatzi, responsable de l’étude. “Ils sont exposés à de multiples produits chimiques. Nous essayons de comprendre l’ensemble des expositions environnementales en gardant cela à l’esprit.”Leurs résultats, repris par la revue 

Environmental Health Perspectives, ont montré que le fait de fumer pendant la grossesse était le facteur de risque le plus lié à l’obésité infantile, et aussi le seul facteur prénatal affichant une association significative. L’exposition à la fumée de cigarette au cours de l’enfance était aussi lié à un indice de masse corporelle plus élevé (IMC), suggérant que l’arrêt du tabac serait une manière pour les deux parents de protéger la santé de leurs enfants.“C’est un message très important”, a commenté le Dr. Chatzi. “Les femmes enceintes fumeuses et le tabagisme passif étant des facteurs répandus à travers le monde.”L’exposition à la pollution de l’air, tant dans le domicile qu’à l’extérieur, était un autre facteur liée à un IMC plus élevé, tout comme la localisation des lieux de résidence des enfants. Les enfants qui vivaient dans des zones densément peuplées étaient plus susceptibles d’afficher un IMC plus élevé, mais ceux qui allaient à l’école dans des zones bien équipées avec de nombreux commerces et des établissements éducatifs accessibles à pied étaient plus susceptibles d’afficher un IMC plus faible.Les scientifiques soulignent que l’obésité infantile est un problème de santé en pleine expansion à travers le monde. Elle peut augmenter les risques que les enfants développent de nombreuses autres pathologies comme le diabète de type 2, certains cancers, des maladies cardiaques et mentales.Click Here: Cheap FIJI Rugby Jersey

Sources at the Williams F1 team have responded angrily to reports that its former title sponsor ROKiT is to join up with reigning world championship squad Mercedes with immediate effect.

Williams last month announced that it was ending its partnership with ROKiT with immediate effect, although no specific reason was given at the time.

“I can’t go into detail on the ins and outs,” deputy team principal Claire Williams said about the split in May. “What I can say is that we met all of our contractual obligations to ROKiT.”

For its part, ROKiT insisted that it remained committed to its motorsport activities, including sponsorship of the Venturi Formula E team and all the cars in the W Series.

  • Williams to revamp FW43 livery following ROKiT exit

The Williams team also announced at the time that it was seeking ways of raising additional finance to support the squad’s operation – including considering a potential sale of part of all of the F1 team.

The split with ROKiT can’t have helped the business situation at Grove. ROKiT only came on board at the start of 2019 and had subsequently extended its arrangement through to 2023, thought to be worth $25 million dollars per year.

Today’s reports from sources including Motorsport.com that the mobile telecommunications company is finalising a new deal with Mercedes have not gone down well at Williams.

“We are absolutely shocked that a team with whom we have worked so well for a long time, would make an agreement with a sponsor who knows what happened,” sources told Racefans.net this week.

The reports add that Williams is considering legal action to block the deal and prevent the ROKiT name from appearing on the Silver Arrows as early as next month’s Austrian Grand prix.

It would not be the first time that Williams have lost a major sponsor to a rival team. Unilever were a previous backer until they were poached by McLaren in 2019, while Polish fuel and energy giant PKN ORLEN followed Robert Kubica to Ferrari at the end of the season.

ROKiT is understood to have had discussions with several other teams about a sponsorship deal since splitting with Williams, including Haas and Racing Point.

Mercedes itself would not confirm holding talks with ROKiT, acknowledging only that it was discussing possible future partnerships with a number of interested parties.

A spokesperson said that the team “can’t offer comment on any confidential commercial discussions, be they with ROKiT or any other brand”.

Current sponsors of Mercedes include Petronas, Bose, Monster Energy and INEOS. Mercedes is seeking to strengthen its own financial situation ahead of the introduction of the new $145 million budget cap coming into effect next year.

Team boss Toto Wolff has previously stated that making the team profitable would be to ensure that Daimler’s decision on whether or not to continue in the sport was effectively a “no-brainer”.

“The marketing is huge and the return on investment should be the icing on the cake,” he explained. “We see that in the American sports leagues that most of them, the NFL or the NBA, are profitable franchises.

“This is my personal aim and my personal contribution with our partners to turn this into such a corporate company.”

Imola circuit boss Uberto Selvatico Estense is pushing F1 to add his venue to the sport’s 2020 calendar of European events, insisting the race could cap off a “legendary national triple” in Italy.

Imola was buzzing with activity on Wednesday as Scuderia Alpha Tauri conducted a filming day in preparation for next week’s season opening Austrian Grand Prix, with both Daniil Kvyat and Pierre Gasly sharing driving duties.

    Vettel gives ‘spectacular’ Mugello a thumbs-up for F1

And Selvatico Estense took the opportunity to state Imola’s case as an event that should bookend F1’s summer schedule in September, after the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and a prospective race at Mugello.

“Imola has F1 in its DNA and on this track the history of F1 has taken place, it must not be forgotten and we must be rightly proud of it,” said the Formula Imola president.

“Looking ahead, and with an eye to the local economy in this serious moment of crisis, our goal is to bring back the top series to Imola’s circuit from this year.”

The Imola boss believes his track has an aura and history that would add value to F1.

“The most logical and most suitable solution for F1 fans from all over the world would be to use circuits with great media impact, as Imola certainly is. [And] perhaps together with Monza and Mugello, for a legendary national triple.

“We started since April of this year working with great dedication and passion on this hypothesis, together with the local and regional institutions and the FOWC [F1 world championship]

“And we hope that the national sports authority will also support our candidature for this season.”

From a driver’s point of view, Daniil Kvyat – who drove on Wednesday both the team’s new-spec AT01 and a 2018 Toro Rosso SDTR13 – gave Imola a very positive review.

“Imola is a special track and I am very happy to get back in a F1 car, after this long pause, on this circuit,” said the Russian.

“I’ve known it for some time, because I did one of my first tests here with a single-seater in 2010.

“The track is really fantastic to drive, with some nice fast corners. I am of the opinion that it should absolutely be on the F1 calendar.”

EU leaders are now shifting to “real negotiations” over the long-term budget and recovery plan, and aim to confer in person next month, European Council President Charles Michel said after they met via videoconference on Friday.

Leaders spent about four hours on the video call, with officials saying that countries mostly repeated their existing positions on the European Commission’s proposal for a €1.1 trillion core EU budget and associated €750 billion recovery fund.

“Now we shift to another phase. We will negotiate,” Michel told reporters, adding that he is “committed to start immediately real negotiations with the member states.”

The Council chief plans to “put on the table some concrete proposals” and then convene a summit in Brussels in the middle of next month. Michel acknowledged a range of issues remains unresolved, including how recovery money should be allocated.

Both Michel and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen urged leaders to move quickly to take a decision.

It is “essential that we lose no time,” von der Leyen said, adding that she was “glad to hear that many leaders stress that we must do everything in our power to reach an agreement soon in the European Council before the summer break.”

L’Organisation mondiale de la santé a espéré jeudi que quelques centaines de millions de vaccins contre le Covid-19 pourraient être produits avant la fin de l’année, et même deux milliards en 2021.

Alors que la course aux vaccins s’accélère, la directrice scientifique de l’OMS, Soumya Swaminathan, a indiqué que plus de 200 candidats vaccins sont à l’étude à travers le monde, et une dizaine d’essais cliniques en cours.”Si nous avons beaucoup de chance, il y aura un ou deux candidats avant la fin de cette année“, a-t-elle déclaré lors d’une conférence de presse virtuelle.La haute responsable de l’OMS a identifié trois groupes de population qui devraient être prioritairement vaccinés : les travailleurs en première ligne comme les médecins et les policiers, les personnes les plus vulnérables telles que les personnes âgées, les personnes vivant dans un environnement à transmission élevée comme les bidonvilles urbains et les maisons de santé.”Nous partons de l’hypothèse que nous pourrions avoir quelques centaines de millions de doses à la fin de cette année, de façon très optimiste“, a déclaré Mme Swaminathan, ajoutant: “Nous espérons qu’en 2021, nous aurons deux milliards de doses de un, deux ou trois vaccins efficaces“.

Fin mai, les patrons de l’industrie pharmaceutique ont aussi dit croire à un vaccin avant 2021, mais souligné que les défis seraient considérables car le monde va avoir besoin de deux doses de vaccin par personne, soit 15 milliards selon certaines estimations.Mme Swaminathan a expliqué que les scientifiques analysent 40.000 séquences du génome du nouveau coronavirus, qui a fait plus de 450.000 morts dans le monde, et indiqué qu’il n’avait pas muté dans les domaines clés qui modifieraient notamment la gravité de la maladie.La dexaméthasone, un stéroïde, est à ce stade le seul médicament qui semble améliorer la survie chez des malades du Covid-19.

Vanté par le président américain Donald Trump et le chercheur français controversé Didier Raoult, l’hydroxychloroquine n’a pas confirmé les espoirs placés en lui. L’OMS a renoncé aux essais sur ce traitement, arrivant à la conclusion que cet antipaludéen ne réduisait pas le taux de mortalité des malades du Covid-19 hospitalisés.Mme Swaminathan a indiqué que des essais qui n’étaient pas menés par l’OMS se poursuivaient dans le monde pour savoir si l’hydroxychloroquine pouvait avoir un rôle préventif face au virus.”L’hydroxychloroquine n’a pas d’impact – nous en sommes sûrs maintenant – sur la maladie en termes de mortalité chez les patients hospitalisés du Covid-19“, a-t-elle déclaré, soulignant que l’on ne savait en revanche pas encore si le traitement pouvait avoir un effet préventif ou réduisait la gravité de l’infection s’il est pris dès le début de l’infection.Click Here: West Coast Eagles Guernsey

Hossam Abdel Aziz, coach of Egyptian men’s national team has selected 12 players, who will play in first round of Playoff 2 in the World League 2013 Qualifications.

 

Egypt representation: Ahmed Abdalla, Ashraf Aboulhassan and Hossam Youssef (Setters); Ahmed Abdelatif, Rashad Attia, Mohamed Ketat and Mohamed Ali Seifelnasr (Centers); Mohamed Badawy, Ahmed Youssef, Mohamed Moustafa and Saleh Youssef (Attackers); Ahmed Abdelhay and Reda Heikal (Opposites); and Wael Alaydy (Libero).

The biggest problem of their team is a lack of friendly matches. Since Olympic Qualification they didn’t play any of them. This situation means that Hossam Abdel Aziz has decided to include Egyptian volleyball veterans to the squad. Their young players haven’t experience in international competitions, so they’re needful in the team.

– We worked very hard in the last three weeks to get the team into top performance shape before the first match against Iran. We will depend on some tactical matches between the players to make up for lack of friendly matches. We also followed the Iranian team’s last matches to study their players – especially their last match against Egypt in the 2011 World Cup where the Iranians won in straight sets. – said Hossam Abdel Aziz.

Dinamo Moscow was beaten in three straight sets by Gubernia Nizhny Novgorod in the 7th round of the Russian Superlaegue. The team of the capital of Russia won only three matches this season. In the game of the week, Lokomotiv Novosibirsk claimed a convincing victory over Ural Ufa. Lokomotiv is leading in the blue group along with Zenit Kazan.

Gubernia Nizhny Novgorod defeated Dinamo in Moscow (25-23, 25-16, 26-24) and confirmed a good disposition after elimination Zenit Kazan and Fakel Novy Urengoy in the Cup of Russia. Dinamo Moscow played again without three primary receivers- Bartosz Kurek, Peter Veres and Semen Poltavskiy. Kurek and Veres will come back soon while Poltavski can be forced to stop his career by his solder joint injury. The main gun of Novgorod was Nikolay Pavlov. He scored 18 points reaching 57% of efficiency. A Finn setter, Mikko Esko, finally presented the level expected of him. Among Dinamo players just Pavel Kruglov was able to face his opponents. He collected 17 points with 54 % of efficiency.
