Japanese GP: Suzuka was short but sweet - Verstappen clinches a second title at a red-flagged Suzuka
Suzuka is a return to the home of Honda and, for the first time since the global lockdown, drivers were on the only circuit on the calendar that runs both clockwise and anti-clockwise, a circuit every driver loves.
There was always going to be the threat of rain on race day, and when the cars went out for their grid formation lap, there was no question whatsoever that it was going to be a wet start. We just didn’t know how wet. And then eventually, under starter’s orders with everyone on the intermediate compound, it was green to go.
Rightly so, the verbal onslaught continued from Gasly, and so did the rain, which resulted in a two-hour delay and the chances of Max Verstappen earning full points being drowned out. Eventually, the call came, and a rolling start initiated the restart, with everyone being forced to run on full wets. We had cars racing once more, if only for the next 40 minutes.

How Ghanaian Cocoa Farmers Reap Sweet Fruits of Their LabourThe Ghanaian government made two major announcements that would greatly change the livelihoods of cocoa farmers in the country, Ghanaian Times reports. The first announcement is the rolling out of the much-awaited Cocoa Farmers Pension Scheme in October 2022. Trustees of the scheme will be moving from district to district, to register cocoa farmers onto the scheme, to enable them to enjoy the full benefit of their pensions. The government has also announced an increase in the cocoa producer price to 21% for the 2022/2023 cocoa season. With this, a tonne of the commodity would now be sold at U.S.$1,204 (GH¢12,800) from U.S.$994,00 (GH¢10,560) per tonne. This translates into U.S.$75 (GH¢800) per bag from the U.S.$62 (GH¢660) for the just ended cocoa farming season and takes effect from October 7, 2022. Cocoa is the chief agricultural export of Ghana and is its main cash crop. Ghana is the second largest cocoa exporter in the world, after Cote d'Ivoire.
