The seven-time world champion made the comments in front of his adoring fans at F1’s official launch show in London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday.

  Max Verstappen claimed his fourth consecutive Formula One World Drivers’ Championship at a breathless Las Vegas Grand Prix that saw George Russell take victory for Mercedes. Verstappen came into the weekend knowing that all he needed to do to win the title was finish in front of his championship rival Lando Norris.

 Higher Education, Science, and Technology Minister Brian Yuliarto called on vocational universities to not only concentrate on practical and applied sciences but also to provide students with a solid understanding of science and technology. "President Prabowo's goal is to advance our nation and improve its quality to match that of other developed countries. This way, our children can live in peace and comfort and achieve prosperity," Yuliarto noted in the ministry's statement here on Saturday.

Yuliarto affirmed that capital or resources are the key to strong and quality production. "The ministry will focus on enhancing national independence, creating quality jobs, fos...

 Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq reminded markets to manage the waste generated within their premises to reduce landfill contributions. At the market cleanup event in Cimahi, West Java, Nurofiq underlined that only residual waste should be processed in landfills as per Law Number 18 of 2008 on waste management. To this end, regional waste management efforts are deemed essential to reduce the volume of waste that ends up in landfills. "Markets are mandated by Law Number 18 of 2008 to resolve their waste, not leaving it to the mayor or district head," he remarked. This step is necessary since, based on the National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN) data from 2024, open dumping systems sent approximately 3,083,633 tons of waste into landfills. The same data revealed that markets contributed about 13.38 percent of the total 29.3 million tons of waste generated by 278 districts and cities in 2024. Hence, the waste cleanup action carried out jointly by the Minis...

 The biennial Indo Defence Expo and Forum is set to be held in June this year, according to the Ministry of Defense. While addressing the press at his office in Jakarta on Tuesday, Head of the ministry's Information Bureau Brigadier General Frega Ferdinand Wenas Inkiriwang noted that the event was originally planned for November 2024 but was postponed due to elections. "Last year, we were all busy with preparations for the presidential and legislative elections, prompting the government to focus on these democratic processes as they determined the direction of this nation," he said. Inkiriwang added that the event will offer Indonesia a valuable opportunity to promote the national defense industry and serve as a platform for defense diplomacy. The official also pointed to the potential economic benefits the nation could gain by hosting the event. "This event will likely provide us with a chance to sell Indonesia's defense products, resulting in economic gains th...

 Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson and former referee Mike Dean have clashed over whether referee Michael Oliver was right to send off Liverpool head coach Arne Slot during the Merseyside derby. "It's the heat of the moment," Merson said on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday. "It's the last night game at Goodison. It was a big, big football match and he got involved in it. "I thought the ref could have had a bit more class about him. He could have easily not have sent [Slot] off. Have a bit of common sense. He couldn't wait to get [the red card] out. I don't care what's been said." "He would have said something to Michael and you don't know what's been said," Dean replied. "The players and managers have to take responsibility for what they say and do. You can't just ignore it." "The only thing you can get sent off for there, for me, is if he went over and said 'You're a cheat'," Merson continue...

 New Manchester City signing Omar Marmoush has officially announced himself to the Premier League with a sensational 14-minute hattrick. The Cityzens hosted Newcastle in a crucial clash for a spot in the top four on Saturday, but it quickly became clear that it would not be much of a contest. Despite the Magpies boasting one of the Premier League's stoutest defences, it only took Man City 19 minutes to score - and then they scored again, and again. In the space of 14 minutes, Man City rushed into a three-goal lead and all three goals were scored by Marmoush. Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez and Raheem Sterling are the only players in the Manchester side's history to score a hattrick in a shorter period of time than the Egyptian. After four games without a goal contribution, the €75 million signing officially announced himself to English football with a first-ever career hattrick. The goals were perfect illustrations of Marmoush's full skillset: his speed, his deft touch, his in...
