Jamshedpur East has been a BJP's stronghold since Bihar days and barring 2019, the party has never lost any election here since 1990 when it was part of Bihar. Former Jharkhand CM Raghubar Das won this seat five times, once in Bihar and four times since Jharkhand became a state, before losing it to Saryu Roy in 2019. Das is currently the governor of Odisha and BJP has fielded his daughter-in-law Purnima Das Sahu from his home turf. The election will decide whether Das's family still has a sway over the seat which has been his family seat for the last three decades. Congress has fielded former Jamshedpur MP Ajoy Kumar from the seat. There is also a rebellion within the BJP as party leader Shiv Shankar Singh has filed nomination as an Independent. Singh was hoping to get the ticket but with the party preferring Sahu over him, he has become a challenger. «People are regretting for defeating Ragubhar Das from this seat in the last election. This is a strong BJP seat and Purnima Sahu is going to win this seat easily,» Pradeep Gupta, a trader in Meharda area tells ET. The constituency has a sizable business community vote and BJP banks on their support for victory.

Formula One (F1) cars racing in Mexico City, the normal rules don’t apply. When speeding down a straight that is almost 1 mile (1.6 km) long, teams would usually need to race a car with as sleek a body shape as possible to cut through the air and hit top speeds quickly. But at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, where this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix (GP) will be held, it’s the opposite. Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez first held a F1 world championship race in 1963. For the drivers, the track will feel more akin to racing on a slippery street course like the one in Monaco, where regular automobiles that use the streets when F1 is not in town wear away the traction provided by the sticky tire rubber laid down by race cars.
