Two unattended toddlers saved from drowning by Malta Red Cross

Two unattended toddlers saved from drowning by Malta Red Cross

Within the span of a few minutes, Malta Red Cross lifeguards saved two unaccompanied toddlers from drowning. In a statement issued by the safety and first aid service yesterday, parents and guardians were appealed to for closer attention and inspection of their young children. The statement appealed for the guardians to be ‘extra careful whilst at the beach.’ 

Both incidents reportedly ended without serious injuries thanks to the ‘prompt intervention of our lifeguards and other bystanders.’ However, these incidents were two of the lucky ones as such carelessness could result in harm and even unfortunate deaths. Stay safe out there, and well done to Malta Red Cross’ team for their service!

Max Verstappen awarded half-point victory at rainy Belgian Grand Prix

Aug 30 2021 Share

Yesterday’s Belgian Grand Prix in Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps was certainly one fans will never forget. No racing was present, as at the end only a formation lap and 2 laps behind the safety car occurred. All of this was because of the rain shower going on in Belgium. The rain was so heavy that the race really and truly never got on.

The race which was supposed to start at 3 was delayed multiple times. The drivers were allowed to do a formation lap at 3:30 but pretty much all drivers were in agreement that the weather conditions were dangerous for any actual racing. After the formation lap, nearly 3 hours of waiting commenced.

In those three hours, viewers got to see the many interesting stuff the drivers get up to when waiting for a race to begin. McLaren driver Lando Norris was seen sleeping whilst German duo Sebastien Vettel and Mick Schumacher were playing 2 vs 2 football in the Haas garage.

 

This race was also a milestone for some certain drivers. This race was supposed to be Daniel Ricciardo’s 200th Grand Prix, Lando Norris and George Russel’s 50th Grand Prix and Fernando Alonso’s 327 race where he would have become the driver with the second most race starts in F1 history.

After hours of waiting, there was a glimmer of hope at 6:17 for F1 fans and drivers alike as it was announced that they would be doing 2 laps behind a safety car. It was reported that if the drivers felt safe driving then a 1-hour race would have commenced, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case as the drivers confirmed their fears, stating the rain was worse than before.

The race ended with a Max Verstappen win, but he received half of the normal 25 points as less than 75% of the race was covered. However, this race did result in fan favourite George Russel’s first ever podium in F1 after his amazing qualifying performance on Saturday.
