F1 driver Mick Schumacher has missed out on competing in the Saudi Grand Prix, following a high-speed crash in the qualifiers

Schumacher lost control of his car at 240KPH during the qualifying laps, crashing into a concrete wall in nightmare scenes. The Formula One driver was lifted out of his car and taken to the hospital in a conscious and stable condition.

The 23-year old shocked the grid with many champions in the F1 world taking to social media to wish him well. Despite the horrific crash, the FIA released a statement confirming that Schumacher had escaped the incident without any serious injuries.

His team Haas released a formal statement following the incident saying confirming he wouldn’t be competing in the 50-lap Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.

The son of world champion Michael Schumacher has been released from the hospital, reassuring his fans that he is “ok” with a post to his Twitter account.

Controversial Grand Prix

The Saudi Arabia Grand Prix has had its fair share of criticisms and concerns for its human rights history and most recently because of an explosion at a nearby oil depot.

The flames were visible from the Grand Prix tracks and caused widespread concerns during training days. The Houthi rebels in Yemen later claimed responsibility for the attack. The rebels are associated with military ties to Iran.

However, despite the concerns, Formula One confirmed the Grand Prix would go ahead as originally planned. The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association also released a statement reassuring competitors that it was safe to continue the race.

This comes as Max Verstappen wins the Saudi Grand Prix, coming out on top.

Verstappen raced against Charles Leclerc, only days after the round was nearly canceled in response to a nearby missile strike.

The winner’s Red Bull won by only half a second, crossing the line just ahead of the Ferrari.

In Short:
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately, aiming to align with testing programs from other countries according to the conversation.Resuming explosive nuclear tests would likely trigger retaliatory responses from nuclear-armed nations like Russia and China, worsening the arms race and increasing global risks.

The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.

Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.

Proliferation Risks

Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.

Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.

The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.

The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
