Felix Da Costa's Grand Prix routine
Porsche has shared a short, fun video featuring Antonio Felix Da Costa's race routine on Instagram with the caption: 'Race day with António – stay close or stay back.'
The video starts with Da Costa waking up at 6:29 a.m. for media day and cruising to the circuit, as it was a casual Monday.
There's then a glimpse of the garage, which smells like 'focused rubber and podium energy.' He even has his own name for media day, which he calls 'Smile until your face hurts.'
It's also revealed that Da Costa sits with the engineers to understand the data – and he actually gets it. As he suits up in his race gear, it's said to be '30 percent style and 70 percent sweat.' The video also offers a close look at his Porsche electric car, which he races in the Formula E Grand Prix this season.
His fans loved the fun video and called it 'awesome'. One fan wrote, 'Cool guy, super driver!' Another reacted, 'That's our Antonio!' with fire and heart emojis. A third fan wrote in Portuguese (translated to English), 'The purest reality! Go, Da Costa!'
Antonio Felix Da Costa misses out on podium in Jakarta
Antonio Felix Da Costa finished fourth in Jakarta. Sharing a few images from race day, he wrote on Instagram, 'P4 today. A well-executed race, with a hint of a podium finish but we fell short.
Let's keep fighting, guys! Let's go. Congrats @dan_ticktum on your first victory in @fiaformulae.'
At present, the Porsche driver sits third in the Driver Standings with 100 points. He is behind championship leader Oliver Rowland and his own teammate Pascal Wehrlein. The latter is just three points ahead of him, suggesting that Da Costa could move up a place in the upcoming races.

Paris Restaurant Serving Fresh Parotta And Tamil-Style Food Has Social Media Abuzz
Indian flavours have captivated the hearts (and stomachs) of foodies across the globe. Over the years, restaurants serving Indian food abroad have gradually increased in number and popularity. While many of them are frequented by Indian immigrants or Indian tourists themselves, they also offer foreigners the chance to discover and fall in love with the subcontinent's rich regional cuisines. Recently, a Tamil-style restaurant located in Paris grabbed many eyeballs online. A digital creator (@jegathvijay) shared a reel about his experience dining at Muniyandi Vilas, and it went viral on Instagram. Also Read: Nothing CEO Carl Pei Says This City Has Better Indian Food Than India, Foodies React The video shows that the establishment has a glass window near its entry that offers passers-by a peek at fresh and flaky parottas being prepared. A chef is seen expertly rolling and flipping the parotta dough. "Seeing that I felt like I was back in our hometown," notes the vlogger. Various South Indian and Sri Lankan delicacies are featured on the menu. The vlogger tasted the chicken biryani and the parotta with curry. He says that he was initially concerned whether they would taste "authentic" or not. After eating the dishes, his verdict was that they "tasted just like back home." In the caption, he added, "From the moment I walked in, that familiar parotta aroma hit me, and watching the chef expertly flip them, I knew I was in for a treat. I ordered their special, and of course, had to try the chicken biryani too. Trust me, it's a must-visit." View this post on Instagram A post shared by vibewithjegath (@jegathvijay) The reel received a range of reactions in the comments section.

Harleen Deol ton in vain as India Women lose to ECB Development XI in warm-up One-Day fixture
India Women slumped to an 18-run loss against ECB Women's Development XI in a 50-over warm-up fixture at The County Ground, Beckenham here on Tuesday. After opting to bowl, India was put under pressure by the assured 196-run opening stand between Emma Lamb and Maia Bouchier. N. Sree Charani broke the partnership, dismissing Lamb in the 29th over. Bouchier, who made a sprightly 84-ball 104, retired from play. Charani, who made her ODI debut in April this year, was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets to her name. | Photo Credit: X/BCCI Women While skipper Hollie Armitage was dismissed courtesy a hit wicket off Charani's bowling, the English middle order came together to brave India's bowling attack. Alice Davidson-Richards (42 off 49 balls), and 34-run knocks from Paige Scholfield and Danni Wyatt Hodge helped England put up a score of 353 for the loss of five wickets. Charani, who made her ODI debut in April this year, was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets to her name. India's chase did not get off to the best start with Mahika Gaur dismissing Smriti Mandhana for a solitary run. Shafali Verma, who has found herself out of reckoning for the One-Day squad, surprisingly featured in this fixture and was sent in to open. However, any chance of making this a statement fixture vanished when she was dismissed by Ryana MacDonald-Gay for a 13-ball 16. Harleen Deol stitched two key partnerships, a 105-run stand with Yastika Bhatia and a 44-run stand with Harmanpreet Kaur (in picture). | Photo Credit: X/BCCI Women Harleen Deol then took on the responsibility of keeping India's score ticking. Despite going at about a run a ball initially, she slowed down as she anchored the chase, retiring with 91-ball 100 to her name. Comparison of the two centurions in this fixture | Photo Credit: Stats: ECB Key contributions from Yastika Bhatia (45-ball 32), Amanjot Kaur (32-ball 43) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur who scored a fluent fifty (47-ball 54) to get India close. However, India's age-old issues with its tail came back to hurt its chances, with the side falling short by 18 runs. The warm-up is one of two preparatory games slotted for the visitors ahead of the white ball tour of England which features five T20Is and three ODIs. Related Topics India / ECB
