FORMULA ONE has revealed the full calendar for the 2026 season as a new dawn beckons for the motorsport.
Next season represents the biggest F1 regulation update for a generation, with new-look cars and 100 per cent sustainable fuels coming into play.

And a calendar with its own first-time feature in mind has been revealed to match this new era, which will see the season start in Australia once again, this time on March 8.
With Ramadan happening across February and March next year, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia will host races in April.
The first six races of 2026 will be the same order as 2025, before the end of Spring sees many of the major changes to the calendar.
Firstly, the iconic Imola Grand Prix has been axed after Max Verstappen won the race this year.
However, as part of F1’s commitment to Net Zero, the calendar has moved pieces around to improve freight efficiencies.
That will see the Canadian Grand Prix, which traditionally takes place in June, commence at its earliest stage in history in May, right after the Miami Grand Prix.
Montreal is already well known for its tumultuous weather, and F1 bosses have been warned the colder and wetter weather at the earlier date may impact the race and build-up.
This move will also see it directly clash with the iconic Indianapolis 500 – one of the fabled Triple Crown events alongside the Monaco Grand Prix and Le Mans 24 Hours.
Spain‘s Barcelona circuit will follow before the remainder of races going up to the summer shutdown, including Great Britain and Belgium, all remain in the same order as 2025.
The Temple of Speed at Italy‘s Monza circuit will follow two weeks later, before the brand new Madrid Grand Prix will take its place on the calendar on September 13.
Dubbed the “Madring”, the hybrid street circuit will be on the F1 calendar for the next 10 years.
F1 returns to Asia for gruelling races in Azerbaijan and Singapore on September 27 and October 11.
The season will then end with a pair of triple headers, firstly going from Austin, Texas, United States, over the border to Mexico and then down to Brazil between October 25 and November 8.
Las Vegas on November 21 kicks off the final stretch of the 24-race season.
It will be followed by Qatar on November 29 before the season draws to a close at Abu Dhabi on December 6.
Next year will also see the introduction of an 11th F1 team, Cadillac, alongside General Motors, while Ford joins the list of engine suppliers, Honda makes a return to F1 after five years away, and Audi takes over the Sauber operation.
F1 president, Stefano Domenicali, said: “2026 will be a new era for F1 where we will witness a brand new set of regulations for our sport, the cars and the engines that will be powered by 100 per cent sustainable fuel.
“We are excited to welcome Madrid to the calendar and to see huge automotive brands like Audi, Cadillac and Ford join the F1 grid.
“It promises to be an unforgettable season, where once again we will come together at 24 amazing global venues to watch the best drivers in the world push themselves to the limit and produce incredible wheel-to-wheel racing for our millions of fans watching around the globe.”
4 days agoNews PlusComments Off on The super ‘common’ Ozempic side effect ‘many’ will experience – and Sharon Osbourne has admitted she’s a victim
FROM eggy burps to stomach-churning nausea, there appears to be an endless list of side effects linked to Ozempic-like jabs.
But now, experts are getting candid on a fat jab complication that might shock many.
GettyWe’ve all heard about the possible brutal side effects of fat jabs – but now it’s time to learn about something most will find surprising[/caption]
instagramCelebs like Gemma Collins and Rebel Wilson have proudly confessed to using skinny jabs to shed the pounds[/caption]
BackGridHere, experts have set the record straight on a “common” fat jab complication that Sharon Osbourne is currently experiencing[/caption]
But not only should people be concerned about the effects it can have on skin, teeth and energy levels, as it turns out there’s something else that fat jabs users need to be aware of.
Millions across the world are using GLP-1 medications to slim down, using Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, to drop up to a fifth of their body weight.
The drugs, which have been hailed a “miracle” by some, work by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone released in the body when we are full.
While many celebrities, including Amy Schumer, 43, and Lottie Moss, 26, have lost huge amounts of weight and openly talked about using Ozempic, now, Sharon Osbourne, 72, is said to be the latest victim of a worrying side effect.
While many are concerned that those using Ozempic will pile on the pounds immediately after coming off of fat jabs, according to experts, “many” could experience the total opposite.
Not only may people find it “harder to gain weight” after using Ozempic-like jabs, but they could also “lead to frailty”, muscle and strength loss, particularly for those in their 60s.
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, experts have now set the record straight on why some will struggle to gain weight after using fat jabs including, but not limited to, Ozempic.
Mohamed Imran Lakhi, director and superintendent pharmacist at Prescription Doctor, who has over 20 years of experience, tells us: “When people stop taking medications like Ozempic it’s common to see changes in weight management.
“Ozempic works by slowing digestion and reducing appetite, so when someone stops the treatment, their body may return to previous hunger and digestion patterns.
“This can make it harder to gain weight at first because the body is still adjusting to normal insulin and appetite signals.
“Over time, most people’s weight will stabilise, but it can feel like a struggle initially.

“This effect isn’t unique to Sharon Osbourne. Many who use these medications experience similar challenges once they stop.
“It’s important to manage expectations and work closely with healthcare providers to maintain a healthy weight through diet and lifestyle after stopping the medication.”
The former X Factor judge also revealed that after using Ozempic, she is now unable to gain weight.
'Godzilla' of fat jabs
Dr Mitra Dutt, a GP from Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor, says: “Mounjaro works by activating two hormonal receptors (GIP and GLP-1), which enhance insulin production, improve insulin sensitivity and work to decrease food intake.”
Saxenda, which contains the active ingredient liraglutide, is another weight loss jab that’s been available on the NHS since 2020.
Containing the active ingredient retatrutide, slimmers trying the drug lost up to 29 per cent of their weight in less than a year.
By comparison, trial results showed semaglutide, known as Ozempic, could lead to 15 per cent weight loss and tirzepatide, aka Mounjaro, to 23 per cent.
Retatrutide acts on three different receptors in the brain, “turbocharging” calorie burning while dulling hunger pangs.
Existing weight-loss jabs only suppress appetite, whereas the new treatment also speeds up metabolism.
The new drug is still undergoing clinical trials so it’s not yet known if it will be made available on the NHS.
The TV personality, who lost 42 pounds with the help of the diabetes drug, previously revealed she “didn’t actually want to go this thin”.
Her frail look raised concern after she stepped out with daughter Aimee, 41, for a shopping trip, just days ago.
The TV star’s face looked slimmer than ever, with her jawline incredibly pronounced.
Not only this, but she also left fans concerned after she shared a clip on social media showing off her shrinking frame whilst wearing a loose fitting sweater and cream trousers.
I weigh just over 7st. I need to put on 10lb, but however much I eat, I stay the same weight
Sharon Osbourne
Concerned fans rushed to the comments, as one wrote: “Sharon, I love you but you are way too thin.”
A second chimed in: “She looks ill, poor thing,” while someone else advised: “Please stop losing weight.”
Meanwhile, another begged: “Please go eat a cheeseburger.”

Instagram/sharonosbourneFans recently expressed concern for the former X Factor judge[/caption]
While Sharon was initially pleased with her results after starting the medication back in December 2022, she has recently admitted fears she had taken it too far.
Revealing all on Howie Mandel‘s podcast, Sharon confessed: “I can’t put on weight now, and I don’t know what it’s done to my metabolism, but I just can’t seem to put any on, because I think I went too far.”
As well as this, Sharon recently told Daily Mail about her “frustration” with the lingering effects, as she shared: “Now, I weigh just over 7st. I need to put on 10lb, but however much I eat, I stay the same weight.
“I’ve had enough. I’ve given up on all interventions. I couldn’t have much more facial surgery – there’s not that much skin left to stretch, pull or cut. And I won’t have any more fillers or Botox.
What are the other side effects of weight loss jabs?
Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects.
Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include:
Nausea: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts.
Vomiting: Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea.
Diarrhea: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset.
Constipation: Some individuals may also experience constipation.
Stomach pain or discomfort: Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort.
Reduced appetite: This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss.
Indigestion: Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating.
Serious side effects can also include:
Pancreatitis: In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Kidney problems: There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon.
Thyroid tumors: There’s a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic.
Vision problems: Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic.
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be happy with the way I look.
“I’ve learned my lesson. This is me. It’s finally time to leave well alone.”
Not only this, but Sharon claimed doctors are at a loss as to why she hasn’t been able to gain weight back after she stopped using Ozempic months ago, as she stressed: “The doctors can’t figure it out.”
But Kiran Jones, a clinical pharmacist at Oxford Online Pharmacy, tells us that Ozempic users over 65 will struggle much more than others to gain weight after coming off of fat jabs.
It can become quite difficult to eat enough to put weight back on
Kiran Jones
Kiran says: “Media personality Sharon Osbourne has been vocal about her use of Ozempic and has lost over 40 pounds with the help of the popular medication.
“However, she’s since revealed that she’s struggling to regain weight since coming off the drug, as she feels she’s lost too much weight.
“While many people do regain weight after stopping Ozempic and other GLP-1s, this isn’t always the case for patients over 65.
“Older adults often experience a natural decline in appetite as part of the ageing process. Add the lasting effects of a GLP-1 medicine, and it can become quite difficult to eat enough to put weight back on.”
SuppliedKiran Jones recognises that Ozempic users over 65 will struggle much more than others to gain weight after coming off of the fat jabs[/caption]
As well as this, Kiran adds: “In some cases, the weight loss itself changes the body’s needs.
“With less muscle and a slower metabolism, older patients simply don’t need as much food, so if appetite stays low, weight regain can slow or stop.
“What looks like ‘success’ from a weight loss perspective can actually lead to frailty in this group, especially if they’ve lost muscle or strength along the way.”
Kiran observes a “shift” that can “stick”, as she continues: “Many patients adjust their habits while on Ozempic, they start eating smaller meals and feeling full faster.
“That shift can stick, even after stopping the medication. For older people, who may already eat lightly, this can make it even harder to increase food intake again.
“It’s worth noting that older adults are more vulnerable to the side effects of nausea or stomach upset, even after stopping.
“If food feels unappealing or difficult to digest, eating more becomes a real challenge.
“For patients over 65, weight management after Ozempic needs a more tailored approach. It’s not just about weight on the scale. It’s about strength, function, and making sure people stay well-nourished.
“This group may benefit from extra clinical support, not just during treatment but also after, especially if they’re struggling to gain weight or feel well.”
It could potentially have put her in a position where it is extremely hard to regain the weight she has lost, with regards to muscle and bone strength
Dr. Ed Robinson
Similarly, Dr Ed Robinson, a leading aesthetic doctor, recognises that perimenopausal women, as well as those battling menopause, may struggle to gain weight after using Ozempic.
Dr Ed explains: “The only way in which Ozempic could have long-term effects like this is if you lost so much weight and so much muscular atrophy while taking the drug.
“Then it is very difficult to put weight back on – especially for menopausal or postmenopausal women who don’t have the levels of hormone anymore.”
Dr Ed describes Sharon as “so thin” and “quite frail looking”, as he concludes: “It could potentially have put her in a position where it is extremely hard to regain the weight she has lost, with regards to muscle and bone strength.
“If you are too frail, it is hard to do the necessary exercises to boost strength.”

4 days agoNews PlusComments Off on Dublin Airport reveal how new hotel will look when finished with ‘great airfield views’ and top floor bar
DUBLIN Airport has revealed how a new on-site hotel will look when it’s finished with “great airfield views” and a top floor bar.
Sofitel is a luxury hotel brand that is set to open on-site in the next two years’ time.
FacebookDublin Airport will be opening a new hotel by 2026[/caption]
Known for its blend of French elegance and local cultural influences, Sofitel properties offer high-end accommodations, fine dining and exceptional service.
These hotels can be found in major cities around the world such as New York, Paris and London.
The Facebook post said: “It’s not just the planes flying up around here.
“Work on the new 11-storey Dublin Airport hotel, which will be directly linked into Terminal 2, is coming along very nicely.
“The hotel will offer 412 rooms when it’s finished… not to mention great views of the airfield from the bar on the top floor!”
So far, Dublin Airport has two major hotels on its campus: the Radisson Hotel and the Maldron Hotel, which both offer shuttle services to terminals.
The Sofitel will have 412 bedrooms, an all-day restaurant and be directly linked to Terminal 2.
And it will be opening on site by late 2026.
The hotel will also feature a tea salon and a sky bar on the 11th floor that offers airfield views.
And the developer for this project is the Arora Group, a franchise partner of Accor in the UK and the owner of both the Sofitel London Heathrow Airport and the Sofitel London Gatwick Airport.
Arora was awarded the opportunity to develop this over €100million hotel in 2018 as part of a competitive bidding process conducted by daa, the operator of Dublin Airport.
Sofitel will also feature an executive lounge, a fitness centre, and extensive meeting and event spaces, which will include a ballroom and eight flexible meeting rooms.
Holidaymakers took to the comments section of the post to share their thoughts.
One person said: “Great to see this, it’s badly needed.”
Dublin Airport’s Operator, daa, expects that it will be a record-breaking summer for the bustling airport as over 10million passengers are expected to pass through from June to August.
This summer, passengers have more choices of travel destinations than before, as they now offer up to 190 destinations and more than 2,600 flights departing per week by 43 airlines.
The destinations cover up to 130 top destinations in Europe, while 60 destinations are international.
Due to the greater demands, the officials stated that they aim for at least 90 per cent of passengers to get through security screening in under 20 minutes, similar to last summer.
This came after DAA announced that the security staff had increased by more than 1,000.
Terminal 1 requires tech and liquids to be taken out, while Terminal 2 requires passengers to keep their tech in luggage but take out liquids for scanning at security.
DAA CEO Kenny Jacobs revealed that the new ruling by the EU, which allows liquids to stay in the bags, is “very close” – meaning the restriction may be gone later this summer.

4 days agoNews PlusComments Off on Inside Mark English’s life from girlfriend to rubbing shoulders with celebs on Late Late Show after latest Irish record
MARK ENGLISH yesterday smashed his own 800m Irish record as he continues to be in the form of his life at the relatively old age of 32.
And he didn’t just about sneak under his previous best time of 1:44.34 either as he managed to shave enough that he came home in 1:43:92.

@markenglishKerry GAA great Pat Spillane was also part of the line-up that evening[/caption]
It’s worth bearing in mind too that his previous top time was only set in Poland last week.
Monday’s effort saw English come first in his run at the FBK Games in Hengelo.
He saw off France’s Yanis Meziane and Australia’s Peyton Craig in doing so.
Athletics fans were quick to hail his fastest-ever time as going under 1:44 is considered elite across the global 800m spectrum.
Paul Martyn labelled him “phenomenal”. Similarly, John McCabe praised: “Running incredibly fast!!! Congratulations Mark!”
Raheny Shamrock AC ace Orla Comerford also enjoyed success — winning the Para Athletics Women’s 100m.
Just last week English had eclipsed his own national record with a fine victory at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting in Bydgoszcz.
He powered down the home straight in Poland to clock a winning time of 1:44.34, with his previous best of 1:44.53 set in Madrid last June.
The five-time European medallist trails only Sonia O’Sullivan in Ireland’s all-time major championships medal table.
His haul comprises of two bronze medals won at the European Outdoor Championships in 2014 and 2022 respectively.
There were a further two bronze won at the indoor equivalent in 2019 and earlier this year.
His sole 800m silver came in 2015 when the Indoors were held in Prague.
He made his bow on the greatest stage of all in Rio back in 2016 – making it to the 800m semi-finals.

However, the space rock is now back in the spotlight following a warning from Nasa.
YR4 now has an increased chance of hitting the Moon.
The asteroid is too far to observe from Earth, so scientists have used the $10billion James Webb Space Telescope (JSWT) as their eye in the sky.
Using data from JSWT, a team of scientists from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory refined predictions of where YR4 will be on 22 December, 2032.
The new predictions prompted Nasa to increase the odds of a lunar impact from 3.8 per cent to 4.3 per cent, according to a recent update.
The odds of an impact have more than doubled since February– when Nasa gave it a 1-in-59 chance of hitting our only orbital satellite.
“As data comes in, it is normal for the impact probability to evolve,” Nasa noted in its most recent statement.
The US space agency will be able to make more observations about the asteroid’s predicted path when during its next flyby of the Sun in 2028.
Fortunately, in the event of an impact, there would be minimal consequences for Earth.
“In the small chance that the asteroid were to impact, it would not alter the Moon’s orbit,” Nasa wrote.
It would simply add another pockmark to the lunar landscape, which is plastered with impact craters.
Any debris kicked up by the impact would likely burn up in Earth’s atmosphere – if any of it nears our planet at all.
JWST observations suggest that the space rock measures between 174-220 feet in diameter.
That is roughly the size of a 10-story building.
While the probability remains low – at over 96 per cent chance of a miss – Nasa is closely monitoring the asteroid.
The James Webb Space Telescope: an overview
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space-based observatory that is designed to complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope.
It is named after James E. Webb, who was the administrator of Nasa from 1961 to 1968 and played a pivotal role in the Apollo program.
JWST is equipped with a 6.5-meter primary mirror, which is significantly larger than Hubble’s 2.4-meter mirror, allowing it to observe much fainter objects at greater distances.
It operates in the infrared spectrum, which enables it to peer through dust clouds that obscure visible light and to observe the earliest galaxies that formed after the Big Bang.
The telescope was launched on 25th December 2021 and is positioned at the second Lagrange point (L2), approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.
This location provides a stable environment with minimal interference from Earth’s heat and light.
JWST’s scientific goals include studying the formation of stars and planets, understanding the evolution of galaxies, and investigating the potential for life in other parts of the universe.
It is a collaborative project involving Nasa, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
