Daniel Ricciardo has turned his first laps in a Formula One car since February, with the Australian completing a test session in Austria ahead of the first race of the season.
The test is designed to give the team an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the COVID-19 protocols, which include social distancing rules and the wearing of masks by team members.Ricciardo, who will leave for McLaren at the end of the 2020 season, is expected to be once again consigned to the midfield this year, with Renault not likely to challenge the established "Big Three" of Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari.
"Red Bull definitely comes to mind because I think they showed really good performance in testing and I'm sure they're putting it all in for that race in Austria, their home race," he told Sky Sports.

Somyurek leaked tapes was nothing but a ‘factional hit’ from internal Labor rivals | Sky News AustraliaAlthough Victorian ministers have resigned amid the Adem Somyurek scandal the government is still led by a Labor Party “where controlling the numbers is more important than winning the battle” according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\nShe said the Labor Party both in Victoria and federally has a political culture which is “now full of career activists who are better at playing political games than they are at actually running the state or the country”.\n\nIt comes after ministers Robin Scott and Marlene Kairouz announced their resignations amid the Somyurek scandal.\n\nMr Scott was a close factional ally of Mr Somyurek who was sacked from the Victorian government's cabinet on Monday following allegations of branch stacking and of making derogatory comments about his colleagues.\n\nMs Credlin said “no one familiar with how politics works … would think this is anything other than a faction hit” on Mr Somyurek.\n\n“This is the Labor left, and parts of the Labor right, running pay-back on someone who, even by Labor's low standards, was up to behaviour, that even they, couldn't stomach.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia AdemSomyurek Andrews is the ringmaster.

The AFL and NRL have triumphantly returned, but other sports may struggle in their shadowThe continued prosperity of the AFL and NRL may cost rival sports much-needed media coverage in a post-coronavirus environment, writes Richard Hinds. Oh please! One NRL game get postponed due to COVID-19. I wouldn’t say it was a triumphant return. 🤦♂️ Not sure that just continuously saying what you think should happen, telling the public you have gov support when you don’t & leaning on those who can help and ignoring medical advice when all the while we all know it’s about the dollars equals triumphant.

Qld LNP ‘air their dirty laundry’ with the Palmer-Hutchinson ‘conflict of interest’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Campbell Newman says Clive Palmer’s relationship with LNP President David Hutchinson is “not appropriate” but neither is it big news. \n\nClive Palmer’s employment of Mr Hutchinson has been viewed by some as presenting a conflict of interest, particularly in light of Supreme Court documents where Clive Palmer reportedly said, “I have paid a lot of money to get you guys elected and I have a lot of money to continue to do that in the future”.\n\n“Why have Deb Frecklington and the LNP hierarchy and the parliamentary team chosen to actually launch thermo-nuclear war with their own party?' Mr Newman asked Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\n“It’s not going to help Deb Frecklington to have that war”. \n\n“My advice to the LNP parliamentary team is to focus on the main game, get out there and demonstrate you are behind Deb Frecklington, articulate an agenda that is positive and exciting for Queenslanders and win their vote”. \n\n“Don’t just expect you’ll coast into government”. \n elliemail Because Newman is sooo credible...

NBC rails against Trump rallies while 'hypocritically' endorsing Seattle occupation | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says the United States media trend to present “garbage” on Donald Trump and ignore obvious “double standards” in their presentation of the news has continued unabated.\n\nThe NBC’s reporting on President Trump’s attempt to kickstart his campaign for re-election in November with a rally in Tulsa Oklahoma on Saturday night, threw a predictably negative slant on Trump, criticising his decision to risk exposing crowds to COVID-19. \n\nThe double standards held by the media company were brought into focus by the subsequent story covering the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone where the coronavirus risk factor posed by the occupation of an area within Seattle by a group of protesters was completely ignored by the media. \n\nMr Murray said for many United States broadcasting stations, “If Donald Trump is going to have people inside an arena, that means there’s going to be a COVID-bomb that goes off”. \n\nHowever, “when thousands of people takeover a six-city block in the United States, it’s just normal”. \n\nImage: AP realDonaldTrump There is enough conflict from within at your end to deal with... do that first. realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump Paul Murray must be the resident right-wing hack

Facebook says news content is 'substitutable', rejecting calls to pay media companiesThe social media giant flatly rejects calls for it to share advertising revenue with local news organisations, arguing it is 'not healthy or sustainable' for tech companies to shoulder the burden of propping up the media. Fakebook Rules! yeah makes sense, media companies have their own websites that they can make money from, so why should they get paid for putting their content on a website that doesn't belong to them like fb, maybe these media companies should work on making their website more profitable Facebook clearly doesn’t earn enough money to pay for its content...
