Ferrari have unveiled their new car for the Formula One season they hope can finally end their 11-year wait for a championship, having come close in recent seasons.
At the hands of Sebastian Vettel, the team have put up a credible title fight to Lewis Hamilton in the drivers’ championship in the last two years, while the team have also been the closest challengers to the Brits’ all conquering Mercedes outfit.
But the Maranello outfit will be desperate for a championship having not claimed a title since winning the constructors prize in 2008 and have unveiled a dramatic new look ahead of the season.

The latest car also reverts to a red car complimented only by black trim in a look not seen on a Ferrari since 1999
Sharply dressed Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc (left) and Sebastian Vettel (right) were in attendance for the car’s launch
The car has been named as the SF90 in reference to the 90th anniversary of the team’s existence under founder Enzo Ferrari, with the launch being promoted under the social media hashtag #EssereFerrari – meaning being Ferrari.
As well as replacing Kimi Raikkonen with Charles Leclerc to partner Vettel, Ferrari also shook up the running of the team over the winter as Maurizio Arrivabene departed as team principal to make way for Mattia Binotto.
Binotto has declared that his team is ready to challenge for the title, claiming: ‘we are all focused and very excited to start’ before adding he was ‘simply looking ahead’ in terms of his role and trying to end the 11-year championship drought.

Ferrari were the last team to reveal their car for the upcoming season with attention up and down the grid now turning to the pre-season tests.
The teams will hit the Circuit de Catalunya on Monday for the first of two four day test sessions over the next couple of weeks, where they will find clues as to how quick their new cars in comparison to the opposition.
A two-week break will follow before the teams head to Albert Park in Melbourne for the first race of the season with the Australian Grand Prix.
Couvert par une immunité diplomatique très large, un membre d’une mission étrangère à Paris peut difficilement être mis en examen ou interrogé.
Par Pierre BreteauPublié aujourd’hui à 13h46, mis à jour à 13h46

Le nonce apostolique en France, l’« ambassadeur » du pape à Paris, est visé par une enquête pour « agression sexuelle ». Selon les informations du Monde, Mgr Luigi Ventura est soupçonné d’attouchements sur un jeune cadre de la Mairie de Paris, qui l’accueillait lors d’une cérémonie à l’hôtel de ville.
En tant que diplomate, le nonce apostolique est protégé par un statut particulier : l’immunité diplomatique. En clair, il ne peut être traité comme un justiciable ordinaire. Un principe qui remonte au moins à l’Antiquité, mais qui n’a été codifié dans le droit international qu’au début des années 1960 avec la Convention de Vienne sur les relations diplomatiques (1961) et la Convention sur les relations consulaires (1963).
Si ce statut leur offre des droits importants, les diplomates ont aussi des devoirs, prévient ainsi le Quai d’Orsay :
« En cas de défaillance grave ou répétée, le Protocole [service qui accueille les ambassadeurs étrangers] sera amené à prendre diverses mesures, de la simple mise en garde à la déclaration “persona non grata”.»
Un diplomate peut-il être interrogé ou mis en examen ?
La Convention de Vienne garantit l’inviolabilité du personnel diplomatique, de leur famille et de tous les agents administratifs ou techniques d’une ambassade. Ce statut vise à permettre au représentant d’un Etat d’exercer sa mission sans subir de pression de la part des autorités du pays où il est envoyé.
Mais les diplomates ne sont pas pour autant tous logés à la même enseigne :
L’ambassadeur – et donc le nonce apostolique – ne peut être ni arrêté ni détenu. Il ne peut pas faire l’objet d’investigations sans que le pays qui l’envoie n’ait levé son immunité ;
les agents diplomatiques et leurs familles ne peuvent ni être arrêtés ni détenus. Ils ne peuvent pas faire l’objet d’investigations sans l’autorisation de l’ambassadeur (ou du « chef de mission diplomatique ») ;
les personnels administratifset techniques ne peuvent être arrêtés ou détenus ni faire l’objet d’investigations sans autorisation de l’ambassadeur ;
les fonctionnaires consulaires et leurs familles peuvent être arrêtés ou détenus, mais seulement en cas de crime grave. Les investigations administratives sont possibles.
Comment l’immunité peut-elle être levée ?
Une immunité peut être levée, mais c’est au bon vouloir du pays d’envoi, qui peut accepter ou non une demande du pays d’accueil. Cette procédure est rare et n’est enclenchée qu’en cas d’infraction grave. Dans le cas du nonce apostolique, ce serait donc à la France de demander à l’Etat du Vatican de lever l’immunité de son diplomate visé par une enquête pour agression sexuelle.
En 2013, après avoir été arrêté ivre au volant de son automobile, un diplomate suisse avait été relâché par la police française. Dans la foulée, le département fédéral des affaires étrangères suisse (DFAE) avait assuré être prêt à lever son immunité si la justice française en faisait la demande. Il avait finalement quitté son poste à l’automne suivant, mais « sans que cela ait de lien avec l’incident », avait expliqué le DFAE.
Un diplomate peut-il être expulsé ?
Le pays d’accueil d’un diplomate a toutefois la possibilité d’expulser un diplomate en le désignant « persona non grata » (« personne n’étant pas la bienvenue », en latin). Il est alors visé par une procédure d’expulsion, mais conserve son statut diplomatique. La décision d’expulsion doit être assumée par l’Etat d’envoi, qui est tenu de rappeler la personne jugée indésirable et de s’assurer que son départ du territoire est effectif. Si ce dernier refuse, l’Etat d’accueil peut refuser de reconnaître la personne concernée comme étant membre d’une mission diplomatique. Elle peut alors être expulsée comme n’importe quel citoyen étranger.
Dans l’affaire Skripal, du nom de cet ex-agent russe empoisonné, 116 diplomates russes ont été expulsés en mars 2018 des Etats-Unis et de seize Etats européens. Cette « réponse diplomatique » avait aussi été utilisée par le président François Mitterrand en 1983 pour expulser 47 ressortissants soviétiques.
Combien y a-t-il de diplomates en France ?
En juillet 2017, le réseau diplomatique français comptait 182 ambassadeurs et 89 consuls et consuls généraux. La représentation diplomatique étrangère en France correspond en 2019 :
près de 186 ambassades étrangères accréditées (résidentes ou non, c’est-à-dire avec ou sans ambassade physique) ;
651 postes consulaires (consultats, consulats généraux ou consulats honoraires) ;
70 organisations internationales ayant leur siège ou un bureau en France (comme l’Unesco à Paris, Interpol à Lyon, la Commission internationale de l’état civil à Strasbourg, etc) ;
250 délégations et représentations étrangères permanentes auprès de l’Unesco, l’OCDE et le Conseil de l’Europe à Strasbourg ;
soit environ 25 000 personnels diplomatiques et consulaires.
C’est une première victoire médiatique pour Régis, le compagnon d’Éric Foray. Cet homme qui réclame que soit relancé des appels à témoins au niveau national sur la disparition de son conjoint rejoindra l’équipe de Jean-Marc Morandini sur NRJ 12 demain, le 05 février.
En direct sur le plateau de Crimes & Faits divers, Régis évoquera la disparition mystérieuse de son conjoint Eric Foray.
Eric Foray, un grand brun aux yeux bleus de 1,91 m, âgé de 46 ans, disparaissait le 16 septembre 2016 à Chatuzange-le-Goubet (Drôme), alors qu’il partait faire des courses au village.
Pour Régis, il s’agit d’une petite victoire car de trop nombreux médias n’ont cesser de relater cette disparition comme coïncidente avec l’affaire Lelandais. Mais pour Régis, il y a peu d’éléments qui permettraient d’affirmer un lien avec la disparition d’Eric et Nordhal Lelandais. Pour lui, il faut continuer à poursuivre l’appel à témoins.
Nous recevions en interview Régis qui nous expliquait son quotidien suite à la disparition de son conjoint. Ainsi nous vous proposons de revoir notre Grand Reportage.
Radio Capitole tentera demain de transmettre en direct l’émission de la Chaîne NRJ 12. Rendez-vous demain sur notre Direct Live à partir de 13 H 15 sur notre page Facebook RADIO CAPITOLE.
This week we talk to the PMSD’s Aurore Perraud who has just been put in charge of the party’s education file. We ask how her party views the government’s education reform, the PMSD’s strategy in this election year and why, after a long absence, the party is once again looking to conquer Rodrigues.
Your leader, Xavier Luc Duval, was on a visit to Rodrigues last week. After 30 years, he suddenly remembers Rodrigues. Why and why now? He has been leader of the opposition for only two years and you will agree that he is leader of the opposition for the republic of Mauritius and not just Mauritius. The people in Rodrigues asked for Xavier to go there because they are worried about many economic, social and political problems in their territory. That is why he went. He was supposed to go since last year, but for some reason he could not. When he managed to go last week, he visited the hospital there as he was asked to do by Rodriguans.
Well he may have been asked to go, but all the political parties there are criticising his visit and many Rodriguans are asking what is he doing here? It is quite normal for parties there to criticise. It would be quite awkward for them to say it’s good for Rodrigues that the leader of the opposition visits. But not all Rodriguans are criticising Xavier. I am an MP for constituency No.4 where there are a lot of Rodriguans and they are happy that Xavier went there.
Most people we’ve heard said that he had no business going there. People in Rodrigues are literally afraid to speak their mind. Those who are not commenting on the visit are the people who are happy that the leader of the opposition of the republic of Mauritius went to Rodrigues. We know because we are in in touch with them. We also know that so many people are afraid to speak out because of the regime there. Also, I heard some people saying that Xavier is not concerned about what is happening in Rodrigues in the health sector or in the patients coming to Mauritius for dialysis. That is very unfair! I would like to remind your readers that he asked two or three PNQs on this subject and visited hospitals in Mauritius. That is why the comments I mentioned are unfair.
Many people are saying that Xavier Duval went to Rodrigues to win some seats from there in the next election. Is that true? I am happy that you are talking about this. We are a political party and personally I don’t see anything wrong with going to Rodrigues and putting up candidates there, especially if that is what Rodriguans are asking for.
So you wanted to field candidates there? Are you that desperate? No it’s that we are desperate; there is a demand. People want us to go there so we went. We don’t know if we will have two candidates or even take part in elections there. I don’t think it’s a secret that we are interested to be there. When Mamade Khodabaccus says that our party is in all the constituencies of Mauritius, he means all the constituencies of the republic of Mauritius. So I don’t think that it’s a secret. I don’t think we are trying to hide things or that we are ashamed. I think it’s sincere, especially coming from Xavier. When he went, he saw the problems and wanted to intervene as leader of the opposition as he would have intervened here in Mauritius. It’s his right to do so.
Coming to the dossier of education, as the person in charge of the education commission of the PMSD, you must have followed the reforms taking place. What kind of reflections do you have about the change from CPE to PSAC? I am not blaming this government. The trend is that each time there is a new education minister, s/he comes up with new reforms. We have seen it with Obeegadoo, Gokhool, Dookun etc. I don’t think that they, the governments, saw the education system, the students and the people in a holistic manner. It’s “I am the minister, I want to leave a footprint, so I come and I change everything.” It has been the first year since the implementation of the PSAC and we seen how it has been chaotic and traumatic the situation is.
What is chaotic about it? When you have people living in the north, in Fond Du Sac, for example, and having to go to a school in Pailles or Pointe-au-Sable, this is chaotic. When you have pupils with good results in Hindi being sent to a school with no Hindi, that is chaotic. This is system is not really working.
Has it put an end of the rat race as it has proclaimed? I think the competition has been postponed to grade 9. And we cannot say that the competition has ended at primary level because everyone wants to go to a good school, so the competition is still there.
What about private tuition? Is the situation better or worse for the pupils? Private tuition has remained the same though you know that teachers are not allowed to give private tuition, but they still do because parents want to give tuition to their children so that they can get the best school.
What about secondary school? Is private tuition worse now that there is another exam after form 3? The whole system needs to be reviewed. When was the last time we had a national discussion about education? What about getting parents, teachers and pupils together to give their opinion?
Why don’t you think that the system is not working? Because I know that we have 11,800 pupils at SC who did not get four credits. When you analyse the SC pass rate, we can see that it has not increased, but has remained stagnant, so those pupils at SC were those who were in standard 1 when there was no PSAC.
But the proponents of this system did not claim that there would be more passes; what they said was that there would be less pressure on the pupils… But I think that it’s a disguised way of having the same result. There is no formal ranking but the competition is still there as we have seen. If my daughter, for example, has got excellent results and I want her to go to a particular school, if there are not enough seats there, my daughter will have to go to ‘x’ school though she had good results. So the competition is still there.
Wasn’t that the case before too? No, before, she would perhaps have got another school not in the catchment area. Now, because of regionalisation, she will be stuck in her catchment area.
But regionalisation did not start with this government, did it? No, but now the system is more restrictive.
Let’s look at the credit system now. The government is saying you need four credits now and, as from next year, five, to go into HSC. What’s wrong with that? Don’t you need a certain level before admitting pupils into higher classes? Don’t you think that before asking pupils to have get five credits we should ask why is it that for so many years pupils have not been able to achieve those famous four or five credits? Who is to be blamed? Is it the pupils? Lots of people are saying that’s because the pupils are not so studious now as we were at their age. Is the system to be blamed? Is it that the parents are to be blamed, because now both parents are working and they don’t have time to look after their children’s education and make sure they are not on their Ipad or on Facebook? Is it the government to be blamed for having come up with a very big decision all of a sudden? We have the prime minister who said that tertiary education will be free, but then we learn that to do HSC, you will need four credits. We cannot take decisions concerning the children of this country in such a piecemeal manner. It has to be holistic.
Looking at this decision about the credits in isolation, don’t you think it’s fair to ask pupils to have at least four credits before they can hope to go into lower six? This decision would be fair if we give students a system in which they can really perform.
What does that look like? A system that would cater for the problems we are having now, since the level of the pupils before PSAC is so low, so those pupils reaching form four or form five will not be able to have those four credits. So I think that we have to look at those problems that we have in the lower secondary level so that we can ask those pupils at SC to have those four or five credits.
What about free tertiary education? Do you think it’s a good idea? Of course free education is a good idea. But what type of free tertiary education are we talking about? What about the level of teaching in those institutions? I remember there were two or three PNQs that the leader of the opposition asked about the infrastructure of our public institutions. So if you don’t have a good infrastructure in those institutions, why should it be free for everybody?
What do you mean? Should students be made to pay instead? If the students don’t even have a desk at the university, how will they work? There was a report that was quite damning about those institutions. It would have been better to invest in those institutions, and then in a few years, give free tertiary education to everybody. But the way it has been done is that one day the prime minister came and said tertiary education would be free, and the minister of education, who did not seem aware of the decision, suddenly said that to benefit from it, you need four or five credits.
Let’s talk about the PMSD now. What are your plans? We know that there is a general election and we are preparing for that.
Do you have 60 candidates lined up with two in Rodrigues. (Laughs) We are present in all the constituencies, especially those where we have MPs.
Will you face the elections alone? I bet you one million rupees that if you put this same question to any political party in Mauritius, none of them will be able to answer.
Paul Bérenger said that he would go alone and so did Navin Ramgoolam. The PMSD, on the other hand, said they will not be able to go alone. So who will you ally yourselves with? If the PMSD said it cannot go alone, that’s unfortunately because of the culture, the way people vote and think.
So? So let’s see. It’s the leader who will decide.
What is your personal preference? Suppose the PMSD were to strike an alliance with a political party, which one would you rather your leader chose? If I had a preference, I would have talked to my leader first.
How do you feel about going back to the MSM and sitting next to Marie Claire Monty like in the good old days? I have never thought about that.
You are in politics, but you don’t think about which party you would like to go with? I have a preference, but I don’t want to talk about it with your readers. So read between the lines. This is the way I choose to answer the question.
How do you rate the chances of the MSM winning the next election? Why should I care about the MSM? Why should I rate their chances? I have to see as a PMSD MP how we can win the election.
What are the chances of the PMSD winning the election? It’s too soon to tell. We are working on the ground. Things are very chaotic because everybody is waiting for the case in the Privy Council.
What do you think the chances of Pravind Jugnauth winning the case at the privy council are? I think it’s 50/50. Just a feeling. But I think having the prime minister of the republic of Mauritius in front of the Privy Council for a corruption case is embarrassing.
What effect will the verdict have? It will impact his party, the alliances and the elections.
So what is your wish – that he wins or loses? I don’t want to repeat what Xavier has already said, but I am on the same wavelength. I don’t wish bad on another person even if he is from another party. But I am proud that because we left the government in 2016, today we have this case in front of the Privy Council.
