Melbourne was the city known for the world’s longest lockdown, but now it’s home to a stellar 2022 Australian Grand Prix

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc dominated the 2022 Australian Grand Prix in pole position, with the 24-year-old bringing home a grand slam.

Leclerc also secured the fastest lap for the race, in an impressive and untouchable win. He now sits 37 points ahead on the top of the championship board. 

“I think we were all surprised by our pace,”

“We managed the tyres extremely well … on the hard tyres we also seemed to have the upper hand. It was a very good surprise.”

Redbull’s world champion Max Verstappen was unfortunately shadowed by bad luck, retiring with engine failure.

The car was visibly overheating with smoke emerging from the engine, forcing Verstappen to retire in the 39th lap.

“I smell some weird fluid. Everything is sh** itself,”

Record-breaking crowd

Over 400,000 attended the Grand Prix over the four days and nearly 130,000 people on race day.

This record attendance is the highest in Melbourne’s Grand Prix history.

Australia’s appetite for F1 action has built up over recent months, with some attributing the newfound interest to Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’ series.

The F1 show will head to Italy next for the Imola circuit, where Ferrari fans are bound to be out in droves to show their support.

Over 330,000 displaced as Middle East tensions escalate

Published

on

The Middle East is facing a growing humanitarian crisis as renewed conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran sends shockwaves across the region. Families are fleeing cities, villages, and towns, leaving behind homes and livelihoods in search of safety amid rising violence. The UN refugee agency reports that thousands of people are on the move daily, particularly from Tehran and other affected areas in Iran.

In Lebanon, the humanitarian toll is mounting. Over 84,000 people are now sheltering in nearly 400 collective sites, while more than 30,000 have crossed into Syria since the escalation began. Evacuation orders affecting over 50 villages triggered a wave of displacement from southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s southern suburbs, adding to tens of thousands still displaced from the 2024 conflict. Many are attempting to flee on foot with few belongings, seeking safety in neighbouring areas.

The situation is raising fears of a wider refugee crisis. European authorities warn that displacement of just 10 percent of Iran’s population could rival the largest refugee flows of recent decades. Turkey has prepared facilities for up to 90,000 potential arrivals, while the UNHCR says it requires $454 million in 2026 to support displaced populations across Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Central Asia—but has received only 15 percent so far.
