Formula 1 took the stage after nearly 200+ days after the Lockdown due to covid-19

All the teams and the drivers looks rusty after the Practice sessions and during the Qualifying

Eventually it was the Mercedes Driver #Bottas which took P1. Lewis Hamilton took the grid penalty and doped the grip from P2 to P4.

This happened as he didn't follow the Yellow flag and team Redbull protested , as a result the stewards Penalized Lewis Hamilton.

At the lights out it was a perfect start for Valtteri Bottas leading the Austrian GP

As DRS opened Lewis moved up the places. It was all going smoothly till the disaster happened.

Lap11 Verstappen was crawling and by Lap14 he retired due to some electronic failure.

Then Ricciardo was out of the race lap19 due to some mechanical failure.

Lap20 Stroll retired sue to sensor failure.

Grosjean drives in gravel track and teammate Magnussen spins out of of race

Lap27 Safety car and all the cars came into pitlane for tire change from Medium to Hard compound.

Safety car till lap 30

More drama in store as Vettle contacts Sainz and he spins out and drops to P15.

Lap40 the two Mercedes were batting on their own and both were having the gearbox sensor issue but somehow managed to finish the race.

Lap51 Grosjean limps to retirement and Russels of Williams stops his car at the side of the track due to lack of power, again safety car on the track.

Lap55 Raikkonen's front right wheel comes offs and he is out the race, safety car called again in the race.

Lap61 Hamilton and Albon contact , Albon spins our of race to P13, he was in contender for the Podium.

Leclerc gets pass Norris and Perez P3.

Lewis handled 5 sec Penalty due to collision with Albon.

What a end to chaotic Austrian GP race

P1 Valtteri Bottas
P2 Leclrec
P3 Norris(Due to Lewis Penalty)

Brilliant stuff more to come this year.!

India Bands Chinese Apps.!

India Bans 59 Chinese apps

This news has been spreading like wildfire since yesterday.

The most search query on playstore is TikTok

The question needs to asked, if it is a permanent ban then what would happen to the numerous Indian employees representing these companies be in Sales, marketing,operations, HR etc?

There would another round of job loses, many would find it difficult to get another job in the current situation.

Many are still able to access these apps via VPN and the content creators can download the videos/data and move it to any alternate Indian apps.

Is there a way round for these companies to enter the India market again via some other countries like Ireland/UK etc? need to wait and watch.

Lastly if it really in the National Interest and data privacy is the major issue, then let these apps be kept banned; we must encourage home grown startups and apps
as an alternative for these.
