Teenage racer Malthe Jakobsen continues to impress after being signed as a Peugeot WEC junior. We spoke to the 19-year-old as he hopes to follow in the footsteps of countryman and 'Mr Le Mans' Tom Kristensen:
Malthe Jakobsen was not even a year old when Tom Kristensen secured his record-equalling sixth victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2004. The Danish endurance legend pulled clear of Jacky Ickx’s tally over the coming years and by 2013 had amassed a remarkable nine in the world’s most famous endurance race, cementing his legacy as ‘Mr Le Mans’ and going a long way to raising the event’s profile at home.
“Today, I’m super happy that we started in the single-seaters so early because it gave me such a lot of experience in a super-young age,” he tells Motorosport.com in the Cool Racing hospitality. “I’m sure that kind of built the basis to get to where I am today.” “That’s basically what I’ve been used to for the past three years, which built a lot of experiences and I learned to deal with that. I can see the benefit now because now at 19 years old I’m fully comfortable with it.”
“As we got more and more [poles], for sure we were targeting to get the last one but especially in Portimao for the last event it was super-tight. It’s difficult, because when you are out in front and you feel like you are a step ahead of the rest of the grid, everybody only targets you and what everyone wants to achieve is to kick your ass!
“One thing is to be a part of the team and more people will recognise you and talk about you, but a completely other thing is that I will be able to learn so much from them and all their drivers, joining them for their private tests and at the simulator as well at the workshop.”

Investigation of frailty markers including a novel biomarker panel in emergency laparotomy: protocol of a prospective cohort study - BMC SurgeryBackground Emergency laparotomy (EmLAP) is one of the commonest emergency operations performed in the United Kingdom (approximately 30, 000 laparotomies annually). These potentially high-risk procedures can be life changing with frail patients and/ or older adults (≥ 65 years) having the poorest outcomes, including mortality. There is no gold standard of frailty assessment and no clinical chemical biomarkers existing in practice. Early detection of subclinical changes or deficits at the molecular level are essential in improving our understanding of the biology of frailty and ultimately improving patient outcomes. This study aims primarily to compare preoperative frailty markers, including a blood-based biomarker panel, in their ability to predict 30 and 90-day mortality post-EmLAP. The secondary aim is to analyse the influence of perioperative frailty on morbidity and quality of life post-EmLAP. Methods A prospective single centred observational study will be conducted on 150 patients ≥ 40 years of age that undergo EmLAP. Patients will be included according to the established NELA (National Emergency Laparotomy Audit) criteria. The variables collected include demographics, co-morbidities, polypharmacy, place of residence, indication and type of surgery (as per NELA criteria) and prognostic NELA score. Frailty will be assessed using: a blood sample for ultra-high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis; preoperative CT abdomen pelvis (sarcopenia) and Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Patients will be followed up for 90 days. Variables collected include blood samples (at post operative day 1, 7, 30 and 90), place of residence on discharge, morbidity, mortality and quality of life (EQ-5D-5 L). The frailty markers will be compared between groups of frail (CFS ≥ 4) and non-frail using statistical methods such as regression model and adjusted for appropriate confounding factors. Discussion This study hypothesises that frailty level changes follo
