At least 20,000 workers will receive food vouchers which can be used at more than 160 participating food outlets, including Kopitiam, Foodfare and Fei Siong. Priority will be given to, among others, housekeeping staff, patient care assistants and ambulance drivers, people Mr Lim described as unsung heroes. In a statement his private office released on Friday (May 8), he said their work is often less visible, but no less important to the front-line response. "He hopes that these meals will boost the morale of these front-line healthcare workers and bring them some comfort in this difficult period," the statement read. They can redeem meals at their own convenience. Beneficiaries are staff at Alexandra Hospital, Changi General Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, KK Women's and Children's Hospital, National University Hospital, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, Sengkang General Hospital, Singapore General Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital and the National Centre for Infectious Diseases. The owner of Spanish football club Valencia is one of a number of moneyed people here who have extended a helping hand to others during the coronavirus crisis. His daughter, socialite Kim Lim, has been delivering food to front-line healthcare workers in hospitals and foreign worker dormitories.

After Valencia coach Pako Ayestaran took over from Gary Neville at the end of last month, Valencia is back on their winning days, winning 3 consecutive league games, and propelling them to the top 8 on the La Liga table. What a reversal of fortune! If Valencia can continue on this form, I don't see why Valencia should not deserve the top 4 spots in the next season of La Liga. So what can we learn from here? It is important that a Spanish coach be in charge of a Spanish football club, so that there is no language or culture barrier. I wish Valencia all the best in the remaining matches!

While stressing that the time is not important, India's Narain Karthikeyan, wearing a brand new Hispania Racing suit, upped his pace to clock a best of one minute, 17.769 seconds on the second day of the pre-season Formula One testing in Valencia on Wednesday. The 34-year old Karthikeyan covered 80 laps (320.4 km) and expressed satisfaction on the progress being made at the Ricardo Tomo circuit. "We have been working through the programme. We did 80 laps, which is good. Obviously the times are not so important. We were not going for times today, just building up to it nicely. "Besides, I have tried several Pirelli compounds, and therefore I feel really satisfied. Hopefully, we will do some more work tomorrow (Thursday) in the same direction," said Karthikeyan. Karthikeyan's time on the second day, that was sixth quickest among the 15 ran timed laps, was a definite improvement as compared to his best of 1:18.0029 (45 laps) that he did Tuesday. Karthikeyan looked to be in an excellent mental and physical shape, as he went through the familiarising process with his new team. "Narain has done once again a very good job in this second day of testing. Times are not now important as we pay attention to the data we are collecting," said team principal Colin Kolles. "He has completed 80 laps, which is almost the double of what he did yesterday. I am very happy with his progress and I am sure he will keep on improving." Force India's Paul di Resta continued the team's winter testing programme, completing more than 111 laps and clocking a best of 1:13.844 that was the third fastest, behind double World champion Fernando Alonso of Ferrari (1:13.307) and the 2010 winner Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull-Renault (1:13.614). "Another good day of testing for the team, gathering lots of information for the guys to work on as we prepare for the debut of the VJM04 next week," said di Resta. "At this stage, we are not going for times, just trying to get representative data to work on. I am feeling good and well integrated into the team and my new role."

VALENCIA: Back behind the wheel of a Formula One car after a hiatus of four years, Narain Karthikeyan impressed at 2011's opening pre-season test and the ace Indian driver said he was "extremely satisfied" with his three-day outing at the Circuito Ricardo Tormo. Karthikeyan, who was signed by Spanish outfit Hispania Racing Team (HRT) for the 2011 season, completed 63 laps and finished 11th fastest on the final day of the testing with a timing of 1:16.535. The Indian set the sixth fastest time on the second day with a timing of 1:14.472 while he was the 12th fastest on the first day of the test programme. "It's an awesome feeling to be back in Formula 1 car again, pushing it to its limits. All of the team members at HRT and I have been working very hard over the past few days. Fortunately, the weather has been very good, and I was able to do quite a lot of laps on each of the three days of the test session," Karthikeyan said after the conclusion of the testing session. "This test has not been about getting lap-times. It was more important for me to learn about the team, the car, and getting used to the specific demands of Formula 1 again. I also focused on learning about the new specification tyres, and have tried out several different compounds. "I was expecting it to be much harder to adapt to the modern generation F1 car, but I found the transition to be much more seamless than I had anticipated. It has been an extremely satisfying test, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the next test," he said. Hispania team principal Colin Kolles was also impressed with Karthikeyan's progress during the testing programme. "Narain (Karthikeyan) has done a very good job in this test session. The lap-times are not so important. We are paying more attention to the data we are collecting. He has completed almost 200 laps over the course of the three days," he said. "I am very happy with his progress, determination and speed. I am sure he will continue to improve each and every time he drives the car," Kolles added.

[extract] Right. It has been a tiring weekend for me with the World Cup and all. This had nearly made me forget that the European Formula 1 Grand Prix was held over the last weekend in Valencia and Sebastian Vettel claimed his second victory of the season. This race

Fernando Alonso climbed into his Ferrari for the first time and by the time he had completed only twenty nine laps in testing at Valencia he had stamped his domination on all other teams and drivers. He was over half a second faster than anyone else. Boylesports Bonus Calculator * Deposit Bonus

i think rubens drove really well, with precise driving. However i do not think he is as clean as hamilton or kimi

money vs safety, which one is more important ? the answer speaks for itself. renault admit fault + steward believe they had knowingly commit the mistake = which potentially cause an accident and risk a life = slap on the wrist with $50K fine = less than a peanut the hidden message = alonso can race in home grown = increase popularity & tix sales = more $$$$$ Renault have had their suspension from this weekend
