With the F1 2024 season nearing its end, Max Verstappen’s commanding win in Brazil has brought him to the brink of his fourth consecutive championship title. Starting from 17th on the grid, Verstappen demonstrated resilience and strategic precision, moving well ahead of Lando Norris and making a comeback by Norris all but impossible. The Brazilian Grand Prix highlighted Verstappen’s experience and consistency, leaving Norris with limited options as the season’s final races approach. Red Bull’s performance decline earlier in the season had allowed Norris to close the points gap, but recent adjustments have helped Verstappen reclaim his edge. Singapore marked…

Flaring occurs during oil production where gas is literally burned off if it is not possible to use or store it. Methane leaks occur during oil production – an issue that the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned in March 2024 must be tackled.
