Round 14 brings Formula 1 to the new Madring circuit, where championship leader Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes will look to build on their dominant weekend at Monza.

The highly anticipated documents on Ceuta had barely been released before they were already fueling two opposing narratives: one implicating Morocco, the other targeting Pedro Sánchez’s handling of the crisis.

The PPS leader called the September 2 incident in Madrid “unacceptable” but ruled out responding in kind, saying Morocco wants good relations with Spain and would not burn the Spanish flag in retaliation.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Thursday lifted the state of emergency over wildfires west of Madrid that forced the evacuations of tens of thousands of people.
