The biggest accident at the start in F1



The spectacular start of the Belgian grand prix



August 30, 1998, Belgian Grand Prix, Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

This track is known as perhaps the most beautiful and exciting of all circuits, boasting a by now historical tradition.

In addition to the "most beautiful curve in the world", the Eau Rouge, perhaps someone remembers the spectacular but equally disastrous start of 1998.

It is still the race with the biggest accidents at the start.

The riders in the lead, including Hakkinen and Schumacher, avoided the disaster, but in the rear what happened was truly incredible:

it rains and the weather is not favorable, Coulthard loses control ending up against the wall, the disaster begins.

From the television images the show is unique, among the new waters you can see mechanical parts, tires and debris flying.

The chain reaction involves Irvine, Salo, Trulli, Herbert, Diniz, Panis, Barrichello, Wurz, Takagi, Rosset and Nakano and more.

13 drivers will be involved, 4 will not be able to restart at the second restart after, obviously, the red flag.

Fortunately, there will be no physical consequences for the pilots.

The Longest pass

The Longest pass ever recorded in an NFL game   The NFL has seen some great talent, especially in the quarterback position. For example, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been a promising talent. One of Patrick’s exceptional skills is his throwing ability. The quarterback claims he can throw 75-83 yards. However, the longest pass in the NFL was not from a quarterback but a third quarterback- Cleveland Browns, Baker Mayfield. The action was recorded on Monday night, week 14 of the NFL season.  Mayfield threw a pass that was over 70 yards against the Baltimore Ravens. He hurled the ball a little too much- hoping to score the last touchdown at the end of the half. I hope Mayfield iced his arm after the game because he threw 343 yards and completed three touchdowns in Monday night's showdown. Cleveland Browns rank second in the AFC North table and currently sit at 9-4, behind the 11-2 Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns will face the struggling New York Giants and a winless New Y

The Swan Of Utrecht

Haunted by injuries: Van Basten Marco Van Basten was born on the 31st of October 1964 in Utrecht. He grew up in the Oog In Al neighbourhood. When he was just six years old, he began playing for a local team from his hometown, EDO. After spending a year with them, he moved to UVV Utrecht. His time at UVV was stretched over nine years. This is where he developed the skills he needed to make it to the big clubs. When Marco just turned 16, he got an offer from Ajax and signed a contract with them for the 1981-82 season. Marco debuted for Ajax on the 3rd of April 1982, when he came on as a substitute for Johan Cruyff and scored a goal bumping up the team’s morale contributing to the 5-0 victory over NEC. The following season seemed to be beneficial for Basten. In the season of 83’, he competed with the European top scorer and first choice Holland international Wim Kieft for the position of centre forward. Marco ended up scoring nine goals in 20 league matches. Consequently, Ajax chose to se

Novak first acquired the No. 1 ranking on 4 July 2011 and has, since then, won several titles under his name. The lists of his accomplishments include but are not limited to the following ninth Australian Open trophy and 18th Grand Slam title in the ATP.

"To actualize my dream is proof that anything is achievable.” Andrea Gaudenzi, ATP Chairman, was among the doctrines that sent their congratulatory message to the tennis player. "Novak's achievements in
