Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc penalised.

A five-second time penalty has gone Max Verstappen’s way for crossing the white line at the pit exit in the Miami Grand Prix.

Having made an early pit stop under the Safety Car, Verstappen crossed the white line separating the pit exit and the track when he rejoined the action – something that was promptly noted by the stewards.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has been hit with a penalty following the Miami Grand Prix.

After the rave Leclerc was noted for driving his damaged car in an unsafe condition, leaving the track multiple times and gaining an advantage, and clashing with Mercedes rival George Russell at the final hairpin.

Following their investigations, the stewards opted to hand Leclerc a drive-through penalty, which – given that this was handed out after the Grand Prix – has been converted into 20 seconds being added onto his race time, dropping him down the order to eighth place.

This penalty was given for leaving the track “on several occasions without a justifiable reason”, a document released following the stewards’ hearing confirmed.

 Tuesday 21 April 2026 NPA WELCOMES LIFE SENTENCES IN DEADLY UPINGTON ROAD RAGE DOUBLE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDER CASE Upington, Northern Cape – The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomes the sentence imposed on John Ivan Francious Mouton (50), a resident of Upington, who was convicted by the High Court in Upington on two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder following a tragic and senseless incident arising from a road collision. The matter stems from events that unfolded in the early hours of 17 December 2022. The accused was involved in a motor vehicle collision with Joshua Rock. Following the collision, he retrieved a firearm from his vehicle and threatened Rock. During this confrontation, Shadrack Dube, a friend of Rock, arrived at the scene and attempted to intervene and defuse the situation. Despite these efforts, the accused discharged his firearm twice. Rock subsequently left the scene, while Dube remained behind. Shortly thereafter, the owner of the...

  The following article was published on 04/14/2025 By Ben Lefebvre Politico.com : 2025: The U.S. oil industry is suffering from the lowest crude prices in years, surging costs for steel and an economic downturn that could send consumer demand for its products plummeting. Oil prices have tumbled nearly 15 percent since April 2 to their lowest level since April 2021, a drop that is testing oil executives’ patience. And it’s prompting some in the industry to warn the White House that Trump’s trade policy risks killing his plan for “energy dominance.” So far, though, the sector is sticking with its support of President Donald Trump, hoping that his calls to negotiate trade pacts with individual countries to avoid tariffs and Republicans’ plan to extend tax cuts would offset their financial pain. The industry’s reluctance to publicly criticize Trump is noteworthy given the pain it is feeling from the import taxes he’s hiked on the steel that oil companies need for new pipelines and pro...
