We are continuously being told we need to hydrate more, no matter how relaxed or hectic your lifestyle is or even the time of year, skin is constantly exposed to environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV rays, which can accelerate dehydration and lead to premature signs of aging. So whether that?s drinking more water,or moisturising our skin, particularly over the Summer months we are told of the dangers of dehydration. So it?s no wonder those clever boffins over at Clinique HQ are offering us a surge of hydration to quench thirsty skin.

They have come up with Clinique for Men Maximum Hydrator Activated Water-Gel Concentrate, delivering a turbo-boost of cool supercharged hydration to inccrease skin?s moisture reservoir with an immediate 179% moisture boost that is retained for 24 hours at 65%. This NEWproduct attracts and binds moisture to the skin for optimal moisture retention and a stronger moisture barrier. The breakthrough weightless formula transforms from a gel to a liquid, releasing a cooling burst of oil-free hydration that?s instantly absorbed by your skin leaving zero tacky residue. Skin is left feeling soothed, comfortable, and fresh and in doing so helps to break the cycle of dryness and oxidative damage, releasing vital antioxidant protection.

Basically it works with a Double technology innovation combining: Liquid Sphere Technology ?

Firstly, encapsulated spheres of Vitamin E and Vitamin C burst instantly on application, to release potent antioxidants that protect against oxidative damage and fend off free radicals. Then, Moisture Holding Matrix Polymer Technology ? Which works by interlocking moisture-magnet polymers seal and lock in hydration, helping to boost skin?s moisture retention. See simple !

Brute [official site] is N with a ship in place of a ninja. That change aside, there?s the same challenge of grappling with the particulars of the game?s physics, the same love of alternating bright colours, and a similar menagerie of deadly pursuing enemies ready to destroy you with a single touch. Luckily, there?s also the same sense of satisfaction to be found in trying, failing and eventually overcoming each of its tricky levels.

Left click shoots, right click thrusts, and both happen in the direction of your mouse cursor. It?s a simple control scheme, but steering your ship is anything but easy thanks to the way in which momentum continues to carry you forward after you stop thrusting. To slow down and avoid hitting the deadly walls or barreling into a swarm of enemies, you?ll need to thrust in the opposite direction. That?s hard to do right when you?re under pressure from something chasing you, when you?re in a tight space, and when you?re also conscious of having to conserve fuel ? use too much or fail to replenish it via collectibles placed in each level and you?ll have to manually restart the level.

By contrast, your bullets are infinite and are how you interact with each level, using them to destroy and stall enemies but also trigger environmental hazards and switches. Enemies such as little swarming triangles that relentlessly pursue you, trigger-happy yellow horse shoes that spray bullets as fast as you do, and deadly dots that chase you but deactivate if they touch a wall. Environmental hazards such as destructible scenery, which you and enemies can chew through strategically, and another object which slows down anything trapped inside its area of effect when shot. Switches are used to temporarily disable certain bullet-deflecting walls.

There are 50 levels, structured in such a way that new enemies and functionality are introduced gradually, so that you?re always comfortable in expert with one thing before another comes along. You don?t have to complete every level to complete the game (which unlocks an arena-style minigame), but completing a ?row? of levels unlocks access to five, harder twists on the originals. I was able to complete the initial 50 levels in a couple of hours, but that was after playing an earlier version for hours previously. I think it?d take people longer than that if they?re coming to it fresh, and I think it?d take me at least a couple more to make it through all of the hard versions.

Even with an existing basic proficiency, there?s little I?d describe as ?easy? in Brute. I died dozens of times on every level, as my progress through them followed a steady arc. First, there?s the tentative sneaking, taking every corner slowly and using the mouse cursor to scout as far ahead as possible. Then I start to get a little better, get a little further, till eventually the number of deaths ticks up far enough that I grow a little impatient. Not enough to quit, but enough that I?m going to have a series of reckless lives in which I die at the first hurdle. This is OK; it makes me better, and soon I?m able to clear those early hurdles faster and more efficiently than before.

You?ll recognise this arc yourself if you?ve played any of these instant-restart games, whether N or Trackmania or Flywrench. It?s a simple pleasure. Brute feels like a simple game, deliberately sparse in style, but the presentation sets it apart from many other games I?ve quickly dismissed. The feel of movement I?ve already discussed is one example, and the sound effects are another. Creator Michael Manning works as a freelance sound designer ordinarily, and his experience shows. Every thrust, every explosion, and every collected power-up tickles the ear drum. It takes flat, geometric shapes and gives them weight and heft, and the game along with it.

Brute introduces a few twists as you go along that I haven?t mentioned here, but doesn?t do enough to establish its own identity and step out from underneath the shadow of its inspirations. That doesn?t make it any less fun. If you?ve tired of its inspirations and are looking for something new, then it?ll scratch that same itch.

Brute is out now on Windows for £4.99/$6.99 via Steam and Itch.

Ferrari considered giving Sebastian Vettel a fresh set of tyres after he was passed by Lewis Hamilton in the second half of the Spanish Grand Prix, but decided against the move.

Here are the team radio highlights from the race.

Felipe Massa had his first tangle of the race with Fernando Alonso at the start.

L2 Felipe Massa: ?I touched my corner, I don?t know if I have a problem. I think I have a problem. Puncture.?
?OK, copy that, box.?

L4 To Stoffel Vandoorne: ?Pace is good Stoff you?re matching Magnussen, he?s P8.?

L4 Nico Hulkenberg: ?I think I could go faster but the dirty air is crazy.?

L7 Lewis Hamilton: ?It?s not easy to keep up with him.?

L10 To Valtteri Bottas: ?Valtteri, the most important thing at the moment is if we can pick the pace up.?

L10 To Jolyon Palmer: ?Try to pick up the pace a bit Jo if you can.?
?I?m pushing.?

Lewis Hamilton?s pave prompted Vettel to make an early pit stop.

L12 To Lewis Hamilton: ?This is a critical time of the race, Lewis, give it everything you?ve got.?

L15 To Fernando Alonso: ?And 100% pace.?

L19 Lewis Hamilton: ?Can give it more if you need, but??

L21 To Valtteri Bottas: ?So currently thinking target plus eight.?
?Yeah I can do plus eight but it?s going to be really slow. Front-left is going.?
?Copy message.?

L24 Lewis Hamilton: ?Is this a longish or short stint? Let me know.?
?This is a long stint, we?re going to be target plus 15. Valtteri has stayed out, Vettel tucked up behind him at the minute.?

L27 To Sebastian Vettel: ?Very good lap, keep it there, keep your head down.?

L28 To Stoffel Vandoorne: ?How is the tyre? Is this pace sustainable??
?It?s OK. The rears are going away but we have tyo see. I?ll try my best.?

L30 To Daniel Ricciardo: ?OK for info starting to get more tailwind now now heading into turn four.?
?Thanks for the heads-up on the wind.?

L31 Nico Hulkenberg: ?The Sauber will be a problem.?
?Yep we need to pass that car.?

L33 To Lewis Hamilton: ?25.5, he?s coming up on five backmarkers.?

This didn?t work out well for VandoorneMassa?s car was undamaged following further contact with Stoffel Vandoorne

L35 Felipe Massa: ?Well unbelievable he pulled the car over on me man. That?s crazy.?
?Yep understood. Everything OK with the car??
?I don?t know. Felt a bit strange.?

L35 Stoffel Vandoorne: ?I crashed with Massa. Sorry.?

L35 Daniil Kvyat: ?Yeah it?s way too slow the Safety Car.?

L38 To Nico Hulkenberg: ?OK you pulled one second on the cars behind, there, good job.?

L39 To Daniel Ricciardo: ?OK Daniel it?s yellow turn five and six, Bottas has stopped on track. He is on the track sideways. Caution turn six.?

Hamilton got ahead of Vettel, but the fight wasn?t over, and Ferrari briefly considered ?Plan C?.

Lewis Hamilton: ?I?ve got to get a distance away from him. He?s going to be quicker at the end.?

To Sebastian Vettel: ?His tyres might be overheating,?
Sebastian Vettel: ?That could have happened a few laps ago when he was behind me.?

L50 To Fernando Alonso: ?Option and prime are closer in pace than expected. So we think Plan A still.?
Fernando Alonso: ?If I have blue flags soon maybe we can take benefit.?

To Sebastian Vettel: ?How about switching to Plan C??
Sebastian Vettel: ?I don?t know. He doesn?t seem to be using his tyres all out.?

To Pascal Wehrlein: ?Pascal we got a five second penalty. The gap 3.7 seconds so we have to push to stay ahead of Magnussen.?

L55 To Daniil Kvyat: ?OK Wehrlein still have five seconds penalty. Now they have opened the gap, we are above. We need to close the gap.?
?OK, leave me alone now.?

L55 To Romain Grosjean: ?You?re half second quicker than him first sector, we?re still struggling in the third sector.?
?OK mate at the moment it?s the best I can do.?
?OK dude understood.?

Sebastian Vettel: ?Why does it have to be Massa all the time??
Felipe Massa: ?I think he must be afraid of me.?

L63 To Nico Hulkenberg: ?Scenario two please Nico.?
L63 Nico Hulkenberg: ?Really? It?s not the right time now.?

A thrilled Hamilton took his second victory of 2017Hamilton took the win while Pascal Wehrlein was satisfied with eighth in spite of his penalty.

To Lewis Hamilton: ?Get in there, Lewis. What a race mate. That was an awesome drive.?
?Guys, what can I say, fantastic job this weekend. Thanks you so much. Strategy was on point, pit stops, just all weekend. Really appreciate all the hard work, and back at the factory.?
?Thanks Lewis, awesome drive today mate, really good moves.?

To Sebastian Vettel: ?And P2 Sebastian. Strong race.?

To Daniel Ricciardo: ?Nice job mate that?s P3. Good driving today.?
?Thanks guys. Honey badger will take what he can get. Cheers.?
?Well done mate. Looked a bit lonely out there. Hopefully we?ll see more of the opposition in the coming races. Well done.?

To Pascal Wehrlein: ?P8 at the end Pascal. Great race. Super.?
?Good job. This was [unclear] with the car. Thank you very much. Perfect strategy. Woohoo!?
?Only talk to us when it?s important! Great race.?
?Just a shame about the pit stop but I was too late. I expected already something.?
?Yep no problem. Was a good job to beat Magnussen and the group behind.?

To Daniil Kvyat: ?Very good job, I?m very happy about that point.?
?It?s two points, no??
?Yeah it is.?
?Thanks man, I am proud of you.?
?Yep very good. I?m really happy. So the gap unfortunately was a bit too at the end. Wehrlein pushed at the end and opened the gap up. Never mind.?

Felipe Massa: ?Yeah OK. Very unfortunate, guys. So not so much to say. Again we lost a lot of points.?
?Yeah we did. Given what happened to the cars in front, absoutely no reason why we couldn?t have finished fourth today. But on to Monaco. A whole different challenge.?

To Lance Stroll: ?OK so another finish. A tough race, unfortunate at the end there. But another finish. Well done.?
?The medium was not working I just couldn?t push. I don?t know why. The whole race I had no grip.?
?There was a group of five or six cars, Wehrlein, Kvyat, Grosjean ahead. During that stint on the medium we were gaining on them three or four tenths, then levelled out. It was pretty even?

The full race radio transcript will be published later this week.

Who is excited for summer? Me me me!! First sign of sunshine and I throw open the doors, order some play sand and throw the kids out into the garden. Summer means trips to the seaside, picnics in the park and if you are lucky then a holiday, with time to relax and a chance to enjoy quality time together. I thought I?d ask around in the parenting blogger community to see if anyone had any posts around holidaying with young kids, either at home or abroad, and they came up trumps as always! 

Deciding to take young children away can be a bit of a stressful decision. Where do you go? Will it be child friendly? How long will it take to get there? 

Do you stay in the UK or travel further afield? If you are staying the UK then Butlins do a Just for Tots holiday and A Slice of My Life Wales has written all about her stay there. Or perhaps camping is more your style? A Mum Track Mind  went to The Lake District on a camping trip with a little one and it looked fab! Somewhere we went recently was Center Parcs ? such a fantastic place to go as a family with something to suit all ages. 

If you are thinking about going abroad but are not sure whether it is a good idea with toddlers or not, then The Twinkle Diaries shares her amazing holiday to Sardinia with her twin boys. Somewhere that is on my list to visit is Crete and Emily and Indiana shares a familymoon with us ? such a lovely idea. Lastly, Babyfoote shares her favourite things to do in Rome with toddlers ? young children shouldn?t stop you from enjoying amazing destinations. 

I think the main worry for many parents is the travelling to and from the holiday destination. We are going to be travelling with Wills for the first time in a few weeks and I am really anxious! If you are travelling by car or by plane, Wave To Mummy has a fab post on how to make up an entertainment pack for toddlers ? I will definitely be using it! Mudpie Fridays has an excellent post with so many tips for flying with a toddler and I also love this post from Flying with a Baby with loads of tips for solving any in-flight problems that may crop up. 

Wherever you decide to go, Quite Frankly She Said has a great list of things to help you prepare and Whinge Whinge Wine shares her tips on how to have a harmonious holiday ? point number 1 did make me laugh! 

What are your plans for the summer? Are you opting for a staycation or are you going away for a week or two? 

Next month I will be talking all about days out with toddlers. So many places are geared for older children so I want to share top picks for little ones. If you have a post to share then pop me an email to [email protected] or tweet me @whatkatysaiduk.

The Formula One field will be missing one of its star drivers when it assembles for the Monaco Grand Prix next week.

Fernando Alonso will forego his annual appearance at the principality, where he scored his best result of the season last year with fifth place. He will instead participate in another of the ?triple crown? motorsport events: The Indianapolis 500, which this year is being run for the 101st time.

He will encounter a few of his old Formula One rivals plus several hardened veterans of IndyCar?s daunting superspeedway ovals. Alonso got his first taste of sharing a track with them when practice began at the track yesterday. He?ll have many more opportunities to suss them out between now and qualifying this weekend, followed by the race in 12 days? time.

1. Simon Pagenaud (France) ? Penske, Chevrolet

Pagenaud?s 2014 Senna tribute helmetThe reigning IndyCar champion has taken two victories on the track?s grand prix circuit which F1 previously used. He had never won on an oval until last month?s race at Phoenix, and that was a somewhat fortunate win. Indianapolis is a completely different beast, however. Bonus trivia point: He used an Ayrton Senna tribute helmet in the 2014 race, marking 20 years since the F1 great?s death.

2. Josef Newgarden (USA) ? Penske, Chevrolet

IndyCar?s rising star joined powerhouse team Penske at the start of 2017. He?s out-scored two of his four team mates so far and took his first win with the team in Alabama. Despite a luckless race on the Indianapolis road course last weekend he?s third in the championship. Newgarden?s dominant victory on Iowa?s short oval was gritty stuff as he was still carrying wrist and shoulders injuries from a heavy crash at the Texas superspeedway a few weeks earlier.

3. Helio Castroneves (Brazil) ? Penske, Chevrolet

A three-times Indianapolis 500 winner, his most recent victory coming eight years ago. But despite his remarkable consistency Castroneves has never won an IndyCar championship, and he?s gone almost four years without a win of any kind. He?s still quick, however, as his two pole positions already this session attest.

4. Conor Daly (USA) ? Foyt, Chevrolet

Son of former F1 racer Derek Daly, Conor Daly turned in some giant-killing runs for the Coyne team last year. But moving to Foyt this year has been a frustrating experience: he?s had to look on from the back of the field as his former team jumped to the sharp end of the grid.

5. James Hinchcliffe (Canada) ? Schmidt Peterson, Honda

Hinchcliffe took pole at Indianapolis last yearThe amiable Hinchcliffe is a fan favourite. He suffered life-threatening injuries in a qualifying crash at Indianapolis in 2015 which ruled him out of the rest of the season. He made a triumphant return last year, claiming pole position for the hundredth running of the race. Honda?s improving form helped him to a win at Long Beach earlier this year.

7. Mikhail Aleshin (Russia) ? Schmidt Peterson, Honda

The driver who edged out Daniel Ricciardo for the 2010 Formula Renault 3.5 title came close to victories at Mid-Ohio and the Pocono superspeedway last year. He knows how punishing IndyCar?s fastest ovals can be after a brutal crash on the Auto Club Speedway at the end of 2014.

8. Max Chilton (UK) ? Ganassi, Honda

While Alonso has set himself the target of winning each race in the ?triple crown?, former Manor racer Chilton has already raced in all of them. He peaked with seventh on the short Phoenix oval in his debut season last year.

9. Scott Dixon (New Zealand) ? Ganassi, Honda

Dixon has endured a luckless start to 2017The other ?Iceman?, four-times IndyCar champion Dixon scored his only Indianapolis 500 victory in 2008 while en route to his second title. With Honda enjoying a much more competitive 2017 so far, Ganassi?s switch to the Japanese power plants has proved well-timed and could give Dixon a shot at a second win in the 500. He had a frustrating start to the year, with a poorly-timed caution period spoiling his race at St Petersburg and a strategic error ending his Long Beach victory chances. But consistent points-scoring has helped him to second in the championship.

10. Tony Kanaan (Brazil) ? Ganassi, Honda

Kanaan?s 2013 Indianapolis 500 win came after a string of near-misses. At the end of the year he left KV to replace Dario Franchitti at powerhouse team Ganassi but much more was expected than the single win he has taken since then. Like Castroneves, he?s starting to look a little long in the tooth.

11. Spencer Pigot (USA) ? Juncos, Chevrolet

As last year, Pigot has switched teams for the Indianapolis 500 as team owner Ed Carpenter occupies his car for the big race. He was among the tail-enders on his debut last year, and needs to show significant improvement to make a case for becoming a full-time driver.

12. Will Power (Australia) ? Penske, Chevrolet

No stranger to the soaring highs and plunging lows of racing life, Power has amassed 28 IndyCar wins yet just a single championship in 2014. Victory at Indianapolis has eluded him too. This time 12 months ago he was clearly not on top form following an injury which ruled him out of the first race of the year. He recovered to chase Pagenaud for the title until his car failed in the final race. But a win and a second place in the last two races suggests things have finally turned around for him.

14. Carlos Munoz (Colombia) ? Foyt, Chevrolet

IndyCar?s number 14 Munoz has flown at IndianapolisMunoz grabbed a somewhat lucky win on the streets of Detroit two years ago but it?s on the superspeedways where he really shines. He started and finished second in his first Indy 500 four years ago, and last year only Alexander Rossi?s outrageous fuel gamble stopped him from winning it. Whether he can recapture that form with the Foyt team, having been dropped by Andretti, remains to be seen.

15. Graham Rahal (USA) ? RLL, Honda

His father Bobby Rahal scored an emotional Indianapolis 500 victory in 1986, 11 days before team owner Jim Trueman succumbed to cancer. The young Rahal has come on strong in the past two seasons, playing in the top five of the championship both times. Two of his last three wins have come on speedways. He showed great form on the Indianapolis road course last weekend, climbing from 20th on the grid to finish sixth.

16. Oriol Servia (Spain) ? RLL, Honda

The only other Spanish driver in the race is a veteran of the American racing scene. This will be Servia?s ninth 500, though as he is no longer a full-time driver he will inevitably start at a disadvantage.

17. Sebastian Saavedra (Colombia) ? AFS, Chevrolet

The unpromising Saavedra took a somewhat fortunate pole position on the Indianapolis road course three years ago, then failed to get off the line and was hit from behind. This will be his first start in two years.

18. Sebastien Bourdais (France) ? Coyne, Honda

Bourdais won round one from last on the gridBourdais dominated the old Champ Car series before starting his one-and-a-half year F1 stint in 2008. He returned to a reunified championship in which he?s struggled to make the same impression, but that may have changed this year. Having jumped ship to Coyne as the KV team collapsed, Bourdais took an improbably win from last on the grid in the season-opener. He followed it up with second at Long Beach but luck has been against him lately. Mikhail Aleshin took him out at Phoenix and his Honda engine failed in the Indianapolis Grand Prix.

19. Ed Jones (UK) ? Coyne, Honda

The Dubai-born racer won the Indy Lights championship last year and has quietly impressed in his first races as team mate to Bourdais. He started last year?s Indy Lights support race from pole but Dean Stoneman beat him to victory by two-thousandths of a second.

20. Ed Carpenter (USA) ? Ed Carpenter, Chevrolet

The oval specialist and Indianapolis native took pole position for this race in 2013 and 2014. He is spectacular on those low-downforce qualifying runs, but his last three attempts at the race have ended in disappointment.

21. JR Hildebrand (USA) ? Ed Carpenter, Chevrolet

Unless he ever manages to win the race, Hildebrand faces forever being known as the driver threw away victory in the Indianapolis 500 as a rookie by crashing within sight of the flag. Following three part-time campaigns he finally managed to land a regular seat again this year, but injured his hand in a collision at Long Beach and had to miss a round.

22. Juan Pablo Montoya (Colombia) ? Penske, Chevrolet

Montoya?s Indy 500 record is four starts, two winsAlonso?s biggest rival for the ?triple crown?? Montoya already has Indianapolis 500 (2000, 2015) and Monaco Grand Prix (2003) victories to his name ? now he just needs someone to offer him an LMP1 car. In the meantime he?s back for a two-race stint at Penske. He qualified a decent fifth on his return last weekend but slipped down the order in the race. Expect him to bring his best for the big race, especially after the disappointment of being the first driver to retire last year.

24. Sage Karam (USA) ? Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, Chevrolet

A quick driver who?s not been able to hold onto the regular spot in the series he deserves. Karam has turned to sports car racing as he?s only been able to get one-off Indianapolis 500 deals since his 2015 campaign for Ganassi. Last year he dropped out early but was an impressive ninth on his debut in 2014.

26. Takuma Sato (Japan) ? Andretti, Honda

How differently might Sato be thought of had his audacious bid to pass Dario Franchitti at the beginning of the final lap in 2012 come off? He spun into the barriers, thereby sealing Franchitti?s final win in the race. The long-time Honda servant will be one of Alonso?s team mates in the six-strong Andretti squad having moved over from Foyt at the end of last year.

27. Marco Andretti (USA) ? Andretti, Honda

It?s eleven years since a teenage Andretti missed out on victory at Indianapolis on his debut, beaten to the line by Sam Hornish by just six hundredths of a second. Few might have expected his IndyCar career since then to have featured just a pair of wins, the last coming in 2011 before the current chassis was introduced.

28. Ryan Hunter-Reay (USA) ? Andretti, Honda

Hunter-Reay is one of Alonso?s Indy 500-winning team matesAn IndyCar champion and an Indianapolis 500 winner to boot, Hunter-Reay?s form has been marked by inconsistency of late. A timely third place on Saturday was his best result of the season so far. He played a vital role in team mate Alexander Rossi?s win last year by positioning his car so Rossi could run in the slipstream. But he?ll want to be the one taking benefit from any team co-operation this time.

29. Fernando Alonso (Spain) ? McLaren/Andretti, Honda

Alonso has made a brave decision to break out of his F1 comfort zone and take on a totally different challenge. With the might of McLaren allied to the expertise of Andretti, he should go into the race with at least as much chance of anyone as winning. Although he will have ample testing time to acclimatise to the speeds involved in racing on ovals, Alonso is well aware that the most difficult thing to learn will be how to drive in traffic.

40. Zach Veach (USA) ? Foyt, Chevrolet

This race was supposed to be Veach?s IndyCar debut, but he made an early promotion when he stood in for Hildebrand earlier this year. He ended last year;s Indy Lights championship on an upward swing, winning two of the last three races.

49. Buddy Lazier (USA) ? Lazier, Chevrolet

Lazier famously was carrying a back injury when he won the 1996 Indianapolis 500, which was the first to be organised after IndyCar racing split in two. At the age of 49 he?s back again to hold his own against the big names in his tiny, owner-run team.

50. Jack Harvey (UK) ? Michael Shank/Andretti, Honda

After finishing fifth in GP3 the same year Daniil Kvyat won the title, Harvey switched focus to America where he finished second in Indy Lights for two years in a row with Schmidt. He also tested for their IndyCar team, but following a season on the sidelines he will make his Indianapolis 500 debut in a car run by Michael Shank racing and Andretti.

63. Pippa Mann (UK) ? Coyne, Honda

Mann has been a sporadic IndyCar racer for most of the last six years, and a regular at Indianapolis. Once again she will drive for Coyne, a team which has enjoyed much improved form so far this season.

77. Jay Howard (UK) ? Schmidt Peterson, Honda

Back at Indianapolis for the first time in six years, this will be Howard?s first 500 since the current chassis was introduced.

83. Charlie Kimball (USA) ? Ganassi, Honda

His uncompromising manner in traffic makes Kimball a regular focus for criticism among his rivals. But Indianapolis tends to be a strong venue for this one-time race winner. He finished the last two races inside the top five.

88. Gabby Chaves (Colombia) ? Harding, Chevrolet

After winning the Indy lights title in 2014, Chaves did a full season with Herta in 2015 but was in the tough situation of being a rookie driver without a team mate. He only did a partial season last year.

98. Alexander Rossi (USA) ? Andretti-Herta, Honda

Rossi caused a sensation by winning as a rookieThe astonishing circumstances of Rossi?s rookie victory last year will no doubt have inspired Alonso into believing he can do the same. The win was a masterclass of strategy and disciplined driving, as during the race Rossi discovered he could sustain high average lap speeds while reducing his fuel intake, aided at times by help from his team mates. Unsurprisingly that was the highlight of his season: Rossi?s next-best result was fifth. He?s begun his second season fairly well: Hunter-Reay is the only Andretti driver ahead of him in the points.

Can you believe it?s May already? For us parents with children at school it starts to signal that the summer is only just around the corner! For me the easiest way to juggle the children and a business is to take the summer off. I realise this isn?t the best option for everyone but hey there?s only one of me and to be honest I look forward to it. I start to plan our summer holiday in advance, organising days outs, squirreling away money for treats, even down to organising my inbox. I schedule a lot of my social media content for the 6 weeks and occasionally I do book a kids club day or two enabling me to earn some cash. However wouldn?t it be great if more of our income was earned passively? 

What is Passive Income? 

Passive Income for me is about creating something ONCE and selling it over and over (and over and over). Whether that be an ebook, adding links and banners to your site or creating ecourses. The options are endless but the outcome the same. 

Emma Drew has an excellent introduction post to Passive Income and the various areas you can consider. Emma looks not only at business ideas but also personal so using shopping cashback sites to save money on everyday essentials. Pete from Household Money Saving has a round-up of some of the best sites to use. 

What examples can I add to my business?

2K Sports & WWE.com

Kurt Angle has been atop WWE video game wish lists for several years now. It appears gamers will finally see that wish come true when 2K18 hits stores, because the current Raw GM is a shoe-in to finally make his return to digital form.

The same can be said of The Hardy Boyz. Both Matt and Jeff recently bounced back onto TV and should be in 2K18. But what about all those other legends we have no guarantee of playing as come October/November of this year?

It’s time for 2K Sports to make the ultimate WWE experience. The developers have had a fair few years with the current consoles to perfect all the other facets of the game, so now fans demand the biggest roster in wrestling video game history (not that the rest was perfect, mind).

In order for that to happen, 2K must look at this year’s WWE Hall Of Fame, last year’s roster, and beyond, if they’re to bust out the big guns people have been crying out for.
