Sam Bird takes part in extrication practice in Formula E, leaves fans momentarily shocked
Image credit: McLaren FE Every motorsport involves risk, where a single crash can prove life-threatening. Formula E has maintained a strong safety record over its eleven seasons so far. However, as a precautionary measure, Formula E drivers undergo extrication practice once a year to ensure they are familiar with the emergency protocols in case of an incident. Recently, NEOM McLaren driver Sam Bird participated in one such practice session. A glimpse of the session was shared with fans on social media, offering insight into this important aspect of motorsport safety. Watch: Extrication practice in Formula E The video shows Sam Bird acting as an injured driver while the FIA Formula E safety team carefully lifts him out of the car and places him on a stretcher. The procedure is designed to avoid further injury, particularly to the neck or any broken bones. McLaren FE shared the video on Instagram with the caption: 'Earlier today, Sam completed his extrication practice with the @fiaformulae safety team. This is an exercise that happens at each race with a different team each time. This is for both the safety of the drivers and the extrication team should an incident occur where the driver would need assistance exiting the car. Each driver has to do this at least once a year to ensure their own safety. ' Some fans were momentarily alarmed upon seeing the video. One commented, 'Goodness grief — not me watching the first few seconds of this without context.' Another said, 'That scared me there for a second.' In general, fans appreciated the behind-the-scenes look at Formula E's extrication protocol. 'Never seen the neck wrap/support before, very neat,' wrote one. Another added, 'Much love to the safety teams, always prepared and always do an incredible job.' A third said, 'Awesome to see, safety above all.' One fan even joked, 'An FIA-mandated nap sounds quite nice.' Also Read: Who is Sam Bird's girlfriend Jess Impiazzi?

Stefon Diggs trains like a beast even while vacationing in a castle with Cardi B
Cardi B lives like royalty as Stefon Diggs surprises her with castle vacation in the heart of France (Getty Images) Most of us would be chilling by the pool if we were staying in a literal 13th-century castle in France with Cardi B. But not Stefon Diggs. The man's on vacation, surrounded by chandeliers and moats, and he's still out here hitting workouts like Week 1 is tomorrow. Talk about a grindset. The wide receiver isn't just winning in the romance department, he's proving he might be one of the NFL's hardest workers too. Stefon Diggs and Cardi B are living their royal fantasy in a real French castle Yes, this isn't a metaphor. Stefon Diggs rented out the Château de Farcheville, a legit medieval castle just outside Paris, for a dreamy escape with Cardi B. We're talking stone towers, a full-blown moat, grand halls, and rooms straight out of Bridgerton. According to The Cut , the castle goes for a casual $12,000 per night, and it comes with wild extras like a music room, underground wine cellar, a spa, and even a spot where Cardi joked she would 'take that royal s—.' Iconic. Cardi went full MTV Cribs on Instagram, showing off the massive estate and asking the very valid question: 'Why this man got us staying in a castle?' Let's be honest, we were all wondering the same thing. But Stefon Diggs wasn't just lounging, he was grinding like it was training camp While Cardi was giving castle-core queen, Diggs was giving boot camp prince. She posted videos of him actually training on the castle grounds, working out with resistance bands and going through drills while the rest of us would've been floating in the indoor pool. Because apparently, 'no days off' applies even when there are literal knights' statues and gold leaf ceilings involved. That's dedication, you don't just fake for the 'Gram. Diggs and Cardi just made things public with their courtside debut at a Knicks game earlier this summer. This castle trip? It feels like the hard launch of a football-rap power couple. With Cardi teasing her next album and Diggs gearing up for a fresh chapter in Houston, this French getaway is doing double duty: it's romance and PR rolled into one.
