Who won the Formula One Italian Grand Prix 2022?

Today General Knowledge(GK)

Max Verstappen

Charles Leclerc

Daniel Ricciardo

Fernando Alonso

Correct Answer : Option (A) - Max Verstappen

Red Bull Max Verstappen won the 2022 Italian Grand Prix under the Safety Car, with pole-sitter Charles Leclerc finishing runner-up as Red Bull denied Ferrari a home victory at Monza.

He becomes just the ninth different driver in Formula One history to win five successive races in the sport alongside previous greats such as Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher and Alberto Ascari.

The race controversially ended under safety car conditions following Daniel Ricciardo's late retirement as his McLaren experienced engine difficulties, but even still, it was clear that Ferrari and championship rival Charles Leclerc were again one step behind Verstappen throughout the race.

A visibly annoyed Leclerc came home to finish P2 whilst Mercedes' George Russell claimed another podium finish in P3, his sixth of the year and fourth across the past five races.

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz took P4 despite starting at the back of the grid due to an earlier penalty, while Lewis Hamilton also fought back from the back of the grid to finish P5.

Sergio Perez, Lando Norris, Pierre Gasly, debutant Nyck de Vries and Zhou Guanyu rounded out the points-paying positions in the north of Italy.

Q .

Which state lifts 13th Hockey India Senior Men Hockey National Championship 2023?

Karnataka

Punjab

Assam

Haryana

Correct Answer : Option (B) - Punjab

Punjab claimed the gold medal after their penalty shootout victory over defending champion Haryana in the final of the 13th Hockey India Senior Men National Championship 2023.

A total of 27 shots were taken in the shoot-out and sudden death, and Punjab emerged the winner over defending champion Haryana by a 9-8 margin after the teams were tied 2-2 at regulation time. This was Punjab’s fourth title in 13 editions.

There was little to choose between the two teams as both played slow, measured hockey, waiting for the right time to strike.

Towards the end of the first quarter, Punjab’s Sukhjeet Singh rolled one slowly and perfectly for Harjeet Singh to unleash a grand sweep into the net. Haryana fought back through Sanjay, who struck his 13th goal of the tournament with a penalty corner strike that was angled well to the left side of the net in the second quarter.

Punjab captain Harmanpreet Singh did what he does best with a near-perfect penalty corner strike into the left corner of the roof in the third quarter. Haryana made quite a few counter-attacks at the start of the fourth quarter, and it was rewarded soon when an attack from the right resulted in a goal. Sanjay glided one past ‘keeper Krishna Pathak off a short pass from Deepak.
