From barbecue to ice baths — Antonio Felix Da Costa reveals how he's unwinding after Formula E season
Antonio Felix Da Costa was comfortably sitting in third position in the Formula E Driver Standings for weeks but was eventually overtaken by Taylor Barnard, Nick Cassidy, and then his own teammate Pascal Wehrlein in the final leg of the championship.
The TAG Heuer Porsche driver still has plenty to rejoice in, having contributed to his team's victory in the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships. He is now in relaxation mode and has shared a glimpse of how he's spending his free time.

Da Costa also shared a video to show fans his recovery process after the grueling race weekend, using hot and cold therapy. He is seen getting into an ice bath in his garden area, after which he immediately steps into a custom sauna chamber built in the same space. Ice baths help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery, whereas saunas relieve tension and promote relaxation.
Antonio Felix Da Costa's performance in Season 11
Antonio Felix Da Costa and teammate Pascal Wehrlein led Porsche to win the Teams' and Manufacturers' World Championships.
In the Drivers' Championship, he eventually finished fifth by the end of Season 11.
Reflecting on his slip from the top three in the Formula E Championship, he wrote on Instagram, 'The dream of the championship ended last week. I dreamed, I dreamed big and so did you. Apparently, it was the year of '2nd places.' Seems like I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time too often. Three wins lost in the last laps because of safety cars, a few mistakes — my mixture.
The season could have been so different, but that's what it is in sport, and the bad moments, if used well, are the best thing we have.

Russell Wilson's wife Ciara slammed for shaming single women and telling them to act like wives to get a man
Ciara slammed for shaming single women (Getty Images) In January 2018, singer Ciara stirred a storm of debate on social media after she shared a sermon clip by Pastor John Gray encouraging women to embrace 'wife energy' if they wanted to attract a husband. What seemed like motivational advice quickly escalated into a cultural flashpoint — prompting both fierce criticism and passionate support. Ciara's 'Level Up' advice for single women sparked major backlash In the Instagram post, Ciara captioned a clip from Gray's sermon with: '#LevelUp. Don't Settle.' In the video, Gray states:'Too many women want to be married but you're walking in the spirit of 'girlfriend.''He continues, 'You're not a wife when I marry you, you're a wife when I find you… A wife is not the presence of a ring, it's the presence of your character.' The post was widely interpreted as Ciara telling single women that their lack of romantic success was due to their failure to "act like wives." Fans accused Ciara of judgment and hypocrisy Ciara's advice came under fire quickly. Many pointed to her previous relationship with rapper Future — which ended in a very public and painful breakup — and called her tone tone-deaf now that she was happily married to NFL star Russell Wilson . One viral tweet criticized her for preaching from a 'throne': 'You can be the queen of the ball today and have cake in your face tomorrow!' Another added, 'Didn't you need grace, mercy & compassion when you were being dragged up and down the Internet for the Future situation?' Ciara's heartfelt response: growth, not judgment Facing the heat, Ciara responded with a heartfelt Instagram post explaining the context behind her message. 'I was one that girl wanting to be loved a certain way but was making the wrong choices… I needed to love myself.' She emphasized that her 'level up' mindset came from self-love and personal growth, not judgment.

Dozens gather at Florida church for Hulk Hogan's funeral service
LARGO, Fla. — Dozens of people gathered Tuesday evening at a funeral service for famed wrestler Hulk Hogan, who died last month at 71. Dozens gather at Florida church for Hulk Hogan's funeral service The private service was held at the same church where Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, was baptized in 2023. He died after suffering a heart attack July 24 at his home in Clearwater, according to the Pinellas County medical examiner. Hogan previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, the examiner's report said. His death was declared to be natural. The service was heavily patrolled by church security and Largo police officers, including K-9 dogs. Anyone not on the guest list was turned away near signs that read, 'Private Event.' President Donald Trump posted a photo on his Truth Social platform showing him arm wrestling Hogan, saying, 'They are having the 'Hulkster's' funeral today, and I thought everybody would enjoy seeing this picture.' Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered flags flown at half-staff at all official buildings last Friday, which he declared 'Hulk Hogan Day in Florida.' Hogan was perhaps the biggest star in WWE's long history, known for both his larger-than-life personality and his in-ring exploits. He was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even WWE co-founder Vince McMahon. Hogan was also a celebrity outside the wrestling world, appearing in numerous movies and television shows, including 'Hogan Knows Best,' a reality show about his life on VH1. Hogan's body will be cremated. His daughter Brooke Bollea Oleksy, better known by her stage name Brooke Hogan, memorialized her father in a recent social media post. 'I am so grateful I knew the real version of him. Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens,' she wrote on Instagram.
