Lando Norris slams Sergio Perez after collision: ‘It’s nothing new’
Lando Norris slams Sergio Perez after collision: ‘It’s nothing new’
Lando Norris was highly critical of Sergio Perez after the pair collided in Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, insisting “he crashes into a lot of people.” As the race entered its final stages, Red Bull driver Perez looked to take fourth place from the Brit at turn six, diving down the inside. The pair touched, with Norris taking to the escape road, and Perez was later given a five-second time penalty due to “causing a collision.” McLaren driver Norris was unequivocal afterwards about who was at fault. “I was expecting it to be honest – it was nothing new,” Norris said afterwards. “He crashes into a lot of people so not something new for anyone to know. “But I did give him a lot of space. And so it didn’t change my race at the end of the day. It was a tough day, we just didn’t have the pace we wanted.” Norris finished the race in fifth, with Perez overtaking him comfortably on the next lap. It meant the Brit finished sixth in the drivers’ standings, while McLaren beat Aston Martin to fourth in the constructors’ championship. “I’m still happy we as a team beat Aston Martin, that was our target and we achieved it,” he added. Perez, however, was furious and was given a formal warning after describing the stewards’ decision as a “joke”. The Mexican doubled down on the criticism afterwards: "I think the stewards were very poor today in my opinion. "We’ve seen a lot worse, we touched tyre to tyre, Lando cut the corner and I still had the penalty." Perez, despite dropping from second to fourth as a result of his penalty, comfortably finished second in the drivers’ championship for his best-ever season finish in F1.

Moon rover makes 'unexpected' discovery on the lunar south pole
Moon rover makes 'unexpected' discovery on the lunar south pole
India’s Chandrayaan-3 lander only touched down on the Moon a month ago, but already it's made some major contributions to science. The spacecraft arrived on the satellite's unexplored south pole on 23 August, securing India's place as the first country to achieve this ambitious feat. Its rover, named Pragyan (or "wisdom" in Sanskrit) then embarked on an exploration of the rocky terrain, equipped with two instruments for conducting chemical experiments. And now, India's space agency, the ISRO, has published the ground-breaking data collected by the bold robot. Pragyan's findings offered a new, detailed insight into what makes up the lunar soil. And whilst scientists were unsurprised by the presence of iron, titanium, aluminium and calcium in the rocks, they were stunned to note a much higher concentration of sulphur than expected. The discovery is significant for a number of reasons. Most significantly, perhaps, because the sulphur could be used to help create a human base on the Moon. As Jeffrey Gillis-Davis, a planetary scientist, pointed out in a piece for Science Alert: "Astronauts and robots could travel from the south pole base to collect, process, store and use naturally occurring materials like sulfur on the Moon – a concept called in-situ resource utilization. "In-situ resource utilization means fewer trips back to Earth to get supplies and more time and energy spent exploring. Using sulfur as a resource, astronauts could build solar cells and batteries that use sulfur, mix up sulfur-based fertilizer and make sulfur-based concrete for construction." Gillis-Davis went on to explain that sulfur-based concrete has a number of advantages over the more common variety used in building, pointing out that it "hardens and becomes strong within hours rather than weeks, and it's more resistant to wear". "It also doesn't require water in the mixture, so astronauts could save their valuable water for drinking, crafting breathable oxygen and making rocket fuel," he added. The presence of sulphur near the Moon's south pole also suggests that highland soils at the lunar poles could have very different compositions to highland soils at the lunar equatorial regions. This would have key implications for our understanding of how the Moon works as a geological system, given that sulfur mainly comes from volcanic activity. Still, there's plenty of work to be done. And while this is all just one small step in Chandrayaan-3's mission, it could mean a great leap in how we view our dear celestial companion.
