    In the world of Formula One (F1), Nikita Mazepin is not the name one would immediately recognise.Β 
    The promising Russian driver did make some waves in the FIA Formula 2 Championship while competing for Hitech Racing. And, the world was for his taking after Haas roped him in to race for them in the F1 World Championship next year.
    But, in just a matter of hours, Mazepin has not only become the most-talked about F1 driver on social media, but his dreams of racing with the big boys in F1 is also in jeopardy. At the age of 21, the Haas driver's F1 career, even before taking off, faces the threat of a premature end.

    Mazepin has no one, but himself to blame after he shared an 'abhorrent' video on social media. Taking to Instagram, the Haas driver shared a story which included a short video where he was seen sitting in the passenger seat of a car with a woman.Β 
    The video showed the young racer groping the breasts of his co-passenger who pushed Mazepin's hand away before raising the middle finger and swatting the camera away.
    The video immediately raised questions on the F1 driver's demeanour and after immense criticism, it was subsequently removed from Mazepin's Instagram page.Β 
    Following the controversy, both Mazepin and the Haas racing team issued their respective statements.

    "Haas F1 Team does not condone the behaviour of Nikita Mazepin in the video recently posted on his social media. Additionally, the very fact the video was posted on social media is also abhorrent to Haas F1 Team. The matter is being dealt with internally and no further comment shall be made at this time,” the F1 team said in their statement.

    β€” Nikita Mazepin (@nikita_mazepin) December 9, 2020
    "I would like to apologise for my recent actions both in terms of my own inappropriate behaviour and the fact that it was posted onto social media. I am sorry for the offence I have rightly caused and to the embarrassment I have brought to Haas F1 Team. I have to hold myself to a higher standard as a Formula 1 driver and I acknowledge I have let myself and many people down. I promise I will learn from this,” Mazepin said.
    On the other hand, the woman who claims to be in the video has insisted that she was the one who uploaded the video to Instagram as an "internal joke" and didn't mean to get the Haas driver in any trouble. "Hi guys, I just want to let you know Nikita and I have been good friends for a long time and nothing from that video was serious at all!” she wrote.

    β€œWe trust each other so much and this was a silly way of joking between us. I posted this video on his story as an internal joke. I am truly sorry. I can give you my word he’s a really good person and he would never do anything to hurt me or humiliate me," she added.
    Despite the woman's clarifications, netizens were left bemused by the Russian driver's unacceptable behaviour as they took turns to slam him on social media.

    How will @F1 sponsors @pirellisport @DHL_Motorsports @ROLEX feel about that association?#MazepinOut#WeSayNoToMazepin
    β€” Rhys D. Webb (@rhysdwebb) December 10, 2020For someone who has been roped in to partner Mick Schumacher in the new-look Haas outfit for next season, Mazepin seems to have repaid the faith of his racing team in the worst way possible.Β 
    But, the Russian is no stranger to controversy. In 2016, he was also banned from a European Formula 3 race for punching his rival Brit Callum Ilott.

    Marvel Studios recently dropped a massive trailer of their upcoming series Loki, which is going to explain what happened to the Norse God of Mischief after he grabbed the tesseract and vanished in thin air during the events of Avengers: Endgame.

    Deemed to be a vital series in binding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with its overwhelmingly successful past, Loki will be responsible for answering some open-ended questions that the viewers were left with as Phase 3 ended with the death of Thanos.
    Judging by how loaded the trailer was, there is little to no doubt that the series will be a β€˜must-watch’ for the loyal MCU fans.
    Here are 5 tiny details from the β€˜Loki’ trailer that might determine the future of MCU in Phase 4:
    1.Β Time Variance Authority Β© Marvel Studios
    Around the one minute mark of the trailer, Loki can be seen in handcuffs standing next to Owen Wilson’s character, an agent of the Time Variance Authority. The uniform that Loki is wearing also says TVA on it.

    The Time Variance Authority are like the time-cops of the MCU that look after the maintenance of the universe’s timelines and intervene when something or someone meddles with the natural course of time (like Loki using the tesseract to jump spaces).
    Much like a lot of similar bureaucratic organisations, the TVA too is open to corruption and ineffectiveness when it comes to doing their job due to certain internal members unwilling to play by the rules and it is possible that Loki would love to use these members and β€œburn this place to the ground,” as he said in the teaser released in February 2020.
    2.Β The Living Tribunal? Β© Marvel Studios
    Loki is brought before a judge with three giant faces seen in the back and later three giant statues in the middle of an infrastructure. This can indicate the entrance of the Living Tribunal in the MCU.

    The Living Tribunal is supposed to be the judge of the entire cosmos whose three faces signify impartiality and fairness.Β 
    In the comics, the Tribunal pardoned Thanos for snapping his fingers and deleting half of all living beings from the universe because it was believed that whatever Thanos did was within the natural laws of the universe.
    Β© Marvel Studios
    The makers of Avengers: Infinity War even talked about introducing the Living Tribunal in the movie but the idea didn’t go beyond the concept art of the movie.Β 

    So, maybe, this is how the Tribunal comes into play, through the Loki series.
    3. Three Possible Future Villains Β© Marvel Studios
    A hooded figure can be seen shortly after who throws a burning lantern on the ground and presumably kills a TVA cop.Β 

    This bad guy could have been Kang The Conqueror but since Ant Man 3: Quantamania was announced and it was confirmed that Kang would be their villain, this could be the meanest bad guy, Doctor Doom!

    In yet another scene, there is an interesting glass painting that shows a Devil-like figure sitting on a massive chair. This has to be a reference to Mephisto, MCU’s version of the Devil who is speculated to be introduced in the WandaVision series.

    4.Β Black Widow Is Alive..? Β© Marvel Studios
    When the series began shooting, nobody had taken into account exactly how disrupting the coronavirus pandemic is going to be.Β 

    The makers of Loki would have believed that the standalone Black Widow movie was going to release in May 2020 but got delayed by a whole year because of obvious reasons.
    Nonetheless, the trailer shows Natasha Romanoff’s character sitting on a rock as something like a comet flies and crashes into Vormir, where she had sacrificed her life for Clint Barton to obtain the soul stone.
    The flying β€œcomet” could be Captain Marvel back once again to save Romanoff and get her home but exactly how did she survive the fall and continue to live… that’s something the series should be able to explain better.
    5.Β Loki Is DB Cooper? Β© Marvel Studios
    In the final moments of the trailer, Loki can be seen dressed neatly in a suit and gelled hair, sitting in a plane in the era that looks to be the 1970’s, judging by the air hostess’ uniform.Β 

    In the next scene, Loki winks at the hostess and jumps out of a flying plane with a bag full of money only to be zapped up by the Bifrost.
    This could be yet another attempt by Marvel Studios to revisit historic events and add their characters in them to tell a different story. It can therefore be speculated that Loki is being portrayed to be DB Cooper in this scene.
    Who is DB Cooper, you ask? Β© Marvel Studios
    According to his lore, Cooper got on a plane from Portland to Seattle and gave a note to the flight attendant that said that he was carrying a bomb in his suitcase. He’d demanded $200,000 and four parachutes and held the crewmembers captive until his demands were met.

    He then told the pilot to set a course for Mexico City and jumped out of the plane, ever to be seen again.
    This could be a way to show that the God of Mischief could be seen influencing major events of the past much like X-Men: First Class depicted the Cold War.

    After early hiccups Down Under, the Indian cricket team did fairly well to turn their fortunes around in the ongoing tour of Australia. While the 'Men in Blue' found some new heroes in the limited-overs series, Rohit Sharma has been a noticeable absence in the Indian dressing room.
    The 33-year-old, who led Mumbai Indians (MI) to a record fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title last month, has been out of action owing to a hamstring injury.Β 
    He was initially kept out of India's 32-man squad for their much-anticipated tour of Australia, but, with many noted stars raising questions on his absence, the BCCI decided to rope him in for the Test series.
    View this post on Instagram
    Following an IPL title-winning run in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as his Team India mates took the flight to Australia, the Mumbai batsman checked into the famed National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for rehabilitation.Β 
    Since then, the Indian opener is currently being closely monitored by a team of physios who're trying to beat the clock to help the star batsman recover.
    With Steve Smith already showcasing ominous form, as witnessed in the recent matches, and skipper Virat Kohli, owing to paternity leave, unavailable after the 1st Test, the Indian team faces an uphill task in the upcoming four-match series where Rohit's availability can surely bolster their chances.

    Now, it all boils down to Rohit's highly-awaited fitness test which is slated to take place on 11th December at the NCA.Β 

    If the 'Hitman' manages to clear the fitness test, he will be put on the next available flight to Australia. But, given the mandatory 14-day quarantine period, Rohit is bound to miss the first match in Adelaide. And then, he will also need a few days of net sessions to get into the Test groove.
    While Team India and their fans will be keeping their fingers crossed until the fitness test results are out, Rohit recently gave everyone a ray of hope with his social media post.Β 
    Taking to Instagram, the right-hander had shared a series of pictures from the NCA academy. Going by the photos, the Indian batsman looked fitter than he did during IPL 2020 and his upper-body appeared lean.

    Amid the rehabilitation for a hamstring injury, Rohit seems to have been working on his upper-body which has allowed him to lose significant weight.Β 
    "Unless the physio gives a clean chit, a player can't undergo a high-intensity fitness test. But if he is undergoing rehab for an injury to his lower body, he can work on his upper body's conditioning and shed weight. A lighter upper body will ensure he doesn't put much strain on the dodgy hamstring," a BCCI source had told TOI earlier.
    The Indian team will embark on the biggest test of their tour when they take the field at the Adelaide Oval to lock horns with Australia in the 1st Test, slated to begin from 17th December.
