  • Dakar Rally 2024 Results: Carlos Sainz Earns Audi’s 1st Win; Father of Star F1 Driver

    Carlos Sainz, the father of Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr., won the 2024 Dakar Rally on Friday in Saudi Arabia to give Audi it's first-ever victory in the race.

    Sainz, who has now won the race four times, finished one hour, 20 minutes and 25 seconds ahead of Guillaume de Mevius to claim the title. He broke his own record as the oldest winner in Dakar Rally history at 61 years old.

    The Spaniard also won the race in 2010, 2018 and 2020. However, he was racing for different manufacturers in each of those races—Mini, Volkswagen and Peugeot.

    "To be here at my age and to stay at the level, you need to work a lot beforehand. It doesn't just come like that," Sainz said after the race, according to BBC.

  • 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer Reveals Innovation has Become a New Risk Factor for Trust

    The 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a rift between innovation and society that has become the new factor causing further polarization. Respondents, by nearly a two-to-one margin, feel innovation is being poorly managed; this is true across age groups, income levels, and gender, and in both developed and developing countries people are more likely to say innovation is poorly managed than well managed. Innovations have also become politicized, especially in Western democracies where right leaning individuals are far more likely than those on the left to reject them; the biggest differences between those on the right and left are in the U.S. (41 points), Australia (23 points), Germany (20 points), and Canada (18 points).

  • Saudi Arabia’s Oil Exports via the Red Sea Remain Uninterrupted, head of Aramco’s refining says

    “We’re moving in the Red Sea with our oil and products cargoes,” Mohammed Al Qahtani, head of Aramco’s refining, oil trading and marketing division said, adding that the risks were “manageable”. This is in stark difference to other oil traders, which have rerouted tanker traffic away from the Red Sea. This has added substantially to costs, with the longer journey around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa adding close to $1 million to the transport bill of a tanker, per data from LSEG Shipping Research. Shipbroker data from Xclusiv, however, showed that deliveries of Saudi Arabian crude to Europe had declined between December and this month by 15%, suggesting some interference with normal traffic.

Iraq impressed in deservedly beating Japan 2-1 and along with Iran and Qatar were the only teams to win all three games in the first round. Iraq play Jordan and Iran meet Syria next.
