Prime Minister says Caruana Galizia public inquiry to end next week

Dec 7 2020

Prime Minister Robert Abela has expressed his confidence in declaring that the Daphne Caruana Galizia public inquiry will be over by the 15th of December, unclear whether or not he would consider another extension.

The inquiry board started with a nine-month term, but went on to appeal for an extension due to alleged disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The inquiry investigates whether or not the State did enough to prevent the Caruana Galizia car bombing, looking into various witnesses including ex-Prime Minister Joseph Muscat.

Pérez secures Sakhir Grand Prix as George Russell makes statement

Dec 7 2020

A poetic victory for Hamilton fill-in George Russell was not to be as Racing Point’s Sergio Pérez steals the Sakhir Grand Prix away from the Mercedes team.

The 22-year-old Russell put on an excellent showcase and may have secured the Sakhir GP had it not been for an unlikely mishap in the pits, leaving Russell gutted but proud of his performance.

Gutted. Absolutely gutted.

It just wasn't meant to be tonight but I’m proud of the job we did out there. We'll get our opportunity again.

Congrats to @SChecoPerez. Nobody deserves a win more than him.
— George Russell (@GeorgeRussell63) December 6, 2020

Despite the results, George Russell made a statement with his performance, with Mercedes’ team-boss stating that “he has all the potential and all the ingredients that a future star needs.”
