After the race, he confirmed that the result made him realise they were actually competitive on a wet track. Pascal Wehrlein on winning in Shanghai Pascal Wehrlein secured second place in the Round 11 race in Shanghai, with his teammate Antonio Felix Da Costa joining him on the podium in third. The two had started in the same positions on the grid but in reverse order. It was, nevertheless, a double gain for Porsche on Sunday. Talking about the Round 11 race, Wehrlein said, 'Very tricky conditions especially in the beginning, I think it got a little bit better towards the end, but our pace was good. Not good enough for P1, but quite far ahead of the guys behind. Personally I'm very happy about the result today because today was the first time that I felt like we were very competitive in the wet, which wasn't the case in Tokyo and Monaco. I think we've found a good way there and in the end a happy ending for us. ' The two also scored double podiums at the Mexico E-Prix and then again in Miami, where Wehrlein won. He earned another podium at the Tokyo E-Prix. With such a strong performance this year, Wehrlein currently holds second place in the Formula E Driver Standings with 103 points.

'We are really happy with these points and regaining the lead in the Teams' Championship by a single point. It will be a very hard fight to the end of the year. Overall – with three Porsche in the top six with Nico Mueller – we can be very happy,' Modlinger added.

What is the Internet's new obsession with Labubu dolls? Rihanna flaunting them adds more spark
Labubu dolls are now the new keyword of fashionistas across the globe, with the likes of Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Kim Kardashian flaunting them in public. Their participation in the Labubu dolls trend has upped the craze about the same, as these dolls give a different charm and edge to their looks, and their fans are simply going gaga. Social media is currently rife with various forms of Labubu dolls. Labubu dolls are majorly soft and quirky plushie toys, displaying spiky teeth and a crazy smile. The concept of Labubu dolls was initially introduced back in 2015 by a Hong Kong-based artist named Kasing Lung. Labubu dolls began as characters in "The Monsters," a 2015 picture book series by Kasing Lung. His childhood in the Netherlands inspired these Nordic folklore creatures, according to a Blippo report. Labubu, the lead elf-like monster, debuted with distinctive pointy ears and nine sharp teeth. She was kind-hearted but accident-prone. Initially, Hong Kong company How2Work produced figurines from 2015 to 2019. A major shift came in 2019 when Lung partnered with Chinese toymaker Pop Mart. They mass-produced blind-box collectibles, boosting accessibility. These blindbox sales actually helped boost the worldwide demand that Labubu dolls possess at the moment. And with Rihanna, Madonna or Dua Lipa flaunting them in public, things are expected to get more serious now. Pop Mart's marketing strategy ignited wider fame. However, true global frenzy hit in April 2024. Blackpink's Lisa showcased a Labubu keychain, triggering viral demand. This turned a niche toy into a must-have accessory. Today, over 300 variants exist, from keychains to plush dolls. Labubu dolls are available across various merchant outlets in the United States and are also available to purchase online at different price ranges. Depending on the kind of Labubu plushie you wish to purchase and its size, the prices may vary. If you are based in India, various e-commerce platforms have Labubu dolls in stock, and their price varies from ₹ 5000 to ₹ 12000, according to a WION report.
