Sebastian Vettel ‘late to school’ at Australian Grand Prix
After missing the first two races of the season, Sebastian Vettel will be returning to the Australian Grand Prix
The four-time champion has had just under a month’s break from his Aston Martin AMR22, but says that this race will be a learning experience.
Vettel tested positive for covid-19 in March, with reserve driver Nico Hulkenberg taking his place at the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix.
The F1 star has now recovered but says his return to the competition in Melbourne feels like turning up “late to school”.
Vettel says “after nearly a month out of the car, it will be important to learn throughout the practice sessions, and I hope we can take some steps forward in what is usually an exciting and unpredictable race”.
The athlete is keen to get going again, saying it’s great that Formula 1 is returning after a turbulent couple of years.
Australian Grand Prix
This comes as the Australian Grand Prix kicks off on Thursday, with thousands of spectators expected to flock to the course.
There is high anticipation for who will claim this years victory, but after a rough few years of the pandemic, Melbourne is happy to have the Grand Prix back on their soil.

SpaceX plans a $25 billion IPO in 2026, potentially valuing the company at over $1 trillion.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to raise over $25 billion through an initial public offering in 2026. The move could value the space exploration company at over $1 trillion, fueled by its Starlink internet network and Starship rocket programme.
The IPO discussions are underway with major banks, targeting a launch around June or July. This comes as the IPO market experiences a revival after a three-year slowdown, attracting attention from both institutional and retail investors.
SpaceX is currently the second most-valuable private startup after OpenAI. While investors are excited, some remain cautious about Musk’s ability to manage multiple high-profile companies simultaneously.

Trump admin proposes tourists disclose social media profiles for security under visa waiver program, impacting 42 countries.
The Trump administration has proposed new rules requiring tourists visiting the United States under the visa waiver program to disclose their social media profiles. This applies to citizens from countries including Australia, the UK, and France, who would need to provide five years of social media history.
The requirement specifically targets travelers using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which covers 42 countries. US Customs and Border Protection says the move is necessary to enhance national security.
Public comments on the proposal will be open for 60 days, and full implementation could take several months. It’s still unclear whether private messages would be included or if only public profiles are required.
