The youngster from McLaren Racing, Lando Norris secured the third position.

It was a dangerous day on the Imola race track with wet conditions forcing Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to spin off the track.

Although it’s Ferrari’s home race, fans were disappointed to see Leclerc finish in the sixth spot and teammate Carlos Sainz crash out in the first five minutes.

Despite the disappointing outcome for Ferrari, they’re still leading the board overall this season, up 27 points.

The F1 championship will now head to Miami in two weeks.

Russia successfully tests nuclear-powered Burevestnik missile, with Putin declaring it ready for deployment amid rising tensions over Ukraine

In Short:
– Russia tested the Burevestnik cruise missile, claiming it is ready for deployment after a successful 14,000-kilometre flight.
– Concerns about the missile’s safety persist due to previous failed tests and a fatal incident during development.

Russia tested its nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, claiming it is ready for deployment.

President Vladimir Putin announced the successful test, which demonstrated a flight of 14,000 kilometers over 15 hours. The announcement comes amid heightened nuclear rhetoric related to tensions over Ukraine.

Putin described the missile, also known as “Storm Petrel” or “Skyfall,” as “invincible,” claiming its design allows it to evade current and future missile defense systems.

Western analysts have raised doubts regarding its effectiveness and safety, citing a high failure rate in testing, with only two successful tests out of 13 since 2016.

Concerns Raised

The Burevestnik’s development has faced significant setbacks, including a 2019 explosion during testing that resulted in fatalities and radiation release. The incident raised concerns about the safety of nuclear propulsion systems.

The missile’s development aligns with Russia’s strategic interests following the U.S. withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2001. Its introduction coincides with intensified nuclear rhetoric from Russia as the conflict in Ukraine persists into its fourth year.

Russia’s nuclear posturing includes recent drills showcasing intercontinental ballistic missiles, coinciding with geopolitical tensions as Russia employs such threats to influence Western support in Ukraine.
