[Official Site] GALLANT REDS SUFFER PLAY-OFF HEARTBREAK

posted 1 day ago

Natalie Robyn has left her position as chief executive officer of motorsport’s governing body the FIA after just 18 months in the role.

The FIA said in a statement that Robyn had left “by mutual agreement to pursue opportunities outside of the FIA”.

Robyn, who will leave her role at the end of May, is the fourth senior executive to move on from the FIA since December last year.

Her departure follows the resignations of sporting director Steve Nielsen, single-seater technical director Tim Goss and head of the commission for women Deborah Mayer.

And it comes in the wake of a series of controversies involving FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

In March, the FIA’s ethics committee cleared Ben Sulayem of accusations from a whistleblower that he had interfered in races in Saudi Arabia and Las Vegas last season, saying it had found “no evidence” to support the claims.

Ben Sulayem and the FIA are also fighting a lawsuit brought by Susie Wolff, the director of the F1 Academy for aspiring female drivers and wife of Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff.

Rescue efforts are underway in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state after floods and landslides killed at least 100 people.

More than 160,000 people have been displaced by the floods, with some municipalities completely destroyed by floodwater.

Pictures emerged on Wednesday of a horse stranded on a rooftop amidst the floodwater in the city of Canoas. The city's mayor told GloboNews that they were hoping to rescue the horse with the help of a helicopter.

The international airport in the state's capital, Porto Alegre, has had its runways completely flooded and will be out of use for at least 30 days. Football stadium Arena do Grêmio has also been affected by the floods.

A message of solidarity was projected onto the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday evening.

Venezuela may be the first nation in modern history to lose all its glaciers after climate scientists downgraded its last one to an ice field.

The International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI), a scientific advocacy organisation, said on X that the South American nation's only remaining glacier - the Humboldt, or La Corona, in the Andes - had become "too small to be classed as a glacier", external.

Venezuela has lost at least six other glaciers in the last century.

With global average temperatures rising due to climate change, ice loss is increasing, helping to raise sea levels around the world.

"There has not been much ice cover on the last Venezuelan glacier since the 2000s", Dr Caroline Clason, a glaciologist at Durham University, told Newsround. "Now it's not being added to, so it has been reclassified as an ice field."

In March, researchers at the University of Los Andes in Colombia told AFP the glacier had shrunk from 450 hectares to just two.

Luis Daniel Llambi, an ecologist at the university, told the Guardian that it had now shrunk to less than that.

While there is no global standard for the minimum size a body of ice must be to qualify as a glacier, the US Geological Survey says a commonly accepted guideline is around 10 hectares.

One study, external, published in 2020, suggested the glacier shrank to less than this sometime between 2015 and 2016 - though it was still considered Venezuela's last glacier by Nasa in 2018.

Dr James Kirkham and Dr Miriam Jackson, glaciologists with the ICCI and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development respectively, explained that "glaciologists recognise a glacier as an ice mass that deforms under its own weight".

They suggested that there may have been issues accessing the Humboldt glacier in recent years, which could have delayed the publication of the measurements.

Professor Mark Maslin, a professor of earth system sciences at University College London, said an ice field like the Humboldt - roughly equivalent to the area of two football pitches - "is not a glacier".

"Glaciers are ice that fills valleys – that’s the definition – and therefore I would say Venezuela has no glaciers whatsoever," he told the BBC.
