Rendier engels

Engel had moved ahead of the fast-starting Edoardo Mortara on the run down to Lisboa on Lap 1, and steadily edged clear of his Mercedes teammate Renger van der Zande, who was holding off the pursuing Aston Martin of Stefan Mucke. Mortara and Rene Rast were right behind them. The top cars held station during the early stages but the race came alive on lap 12 when Mucke hit the back of van der Zande's car - leading to the bodywork rubbing on the Dutchman's left rear tyre. The damage allowed Mucke to challenge van der Zande a lap later in to Lisboa and, as the pair made contact in the braking zone, the Audis of Mortara and Rene Rast dived past both of them. By this stage Engel had an eight-second advantage, but his lead was wiped away when the safety car was called on Lap 14 after Vutthikorn Inthraphuvasak crashed at Paiol and was left stranded in the middle of the track Just as it appeared the race was heading for a restart, on Lap 16, John Shen went into the tyre … [Read more...] about Engel wins Macau, but carnage strikes again

There are plenty of musicians who wanted to go on tour in 2020 — with new albums in their luggage that they wanted to launch to live audiences. The coronavirus thwarted those plans and continues to pose problems for many artists to this day. The industrial metal band Rammstein was also planning to go on tour, before numerous appearances had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Rammstein's stage shows use pyrotechnics and special effects As the most successful German band internationally, however, Rammstein is in the fortunate position of not having to worry about its financial existence even if they have had to cancel a tour. So instead of setting the stages on fire live, the band made the best of the situation and recorded a new album, their eighth.
