McLaren driver Lando Norris says he expects the Formula One governing body to make a U-turn on its ‘political statements’ ban

In December 2022, the FIA – motorsport’s governing body – updated its International Sporting Code, banning the display of political, religious and personal statements unless previously approved in writing.

“I feel like there has been quite a bit of pressure and enough said to maybe make a little bit of a U-turn,” the 23-year-old said at the launch at the McLaren 2023 car launch.

“We are not in a school, we shouldn’t have to ask about everything and say: ‘Can we do this, can we do that?’ I think we are grown up enough to try and make smart decisions.

“Maybe, sometimes, people make silly decisions but that happens in life. I think enough drivers have said things now to push back a little bit.”

The first race of the new F1 season will be the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 5.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
