Hamilton stated a Vettel return would be an ideal scenario for Mercedes. “I would love for Seb to come back and I think it would be an amazing option for the team,” […]

Suns suffer ‘unacceptable’ loss vs. Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal didn’t mince words on Monday night following a disappointing performance. The Suns, two days removed from defeating the San Antonio Spurs by 25, played the same team in the same arena, and this time the Spurs were missing star rookie Victor Wembanyama. Yet the Spurs flipped the script with a 104-102 triumph. “It’s disappointment,” Beal told reporters after the game. “We came in here and laid an egg. We thought it was going to be easy with no Wemby. Just got our ass kicked. They came out aggressive, just like Coach told us they would, and we didn’t respond. Well, we did, but […]

Alonso handed penalty after Russell crash, drops to eighth

Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso has been given a 20-second penalty for what the Australian Grand Prix stewards deemed an “unusual maneuver” which led to George Russell’s dramatic crash on the final lap. The penalty drops Alonso from sixth to eighth in the standings. Russell crashed through Turn Six while chasing Alonso for position. The incident was referred to the stewards due to the way Alonso had appeared to dramatically lose speed on entry, with Russell following less than half a second behind. After an investigation on Sunday evening Alonso was found to have breached Article 33.4 of the sporting regulations, […]

Aston Martin’s Alonso top in Saudi GP practice

Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso was fastest in Thursday’s floodlit second practice for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after Red Bull’s reigning champion Max Verstappen set the afternoon pace in FP1. George Russell was second on the timesheets for Mercedes, 0.230 slower than Alonso’s one minute 28.827 second effort, with Verstappen third and 0.331 off the Spaniard’s best. The second session was delayed briefly due to reported loose drain covers, a problem that beset testing in Bahrain last month and also in Las Vegas last November. This time the matter was swiftly resolved. Alonso had been second in the first session, 0.186 slower than triple […]

Leverkusen crush Bayern to go 5 points clear in Bundesliga

Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen outplayed champions Bayern Munich for a 3-0 triumph on Saturday that sent them five points clear at the top of the league and put them firmly in charge of the title race.

A horse that broke down in the race following the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes was euthanized on Saturday, completing a grim Triple Crown for a sport that has seen deaths cast a pall over all three tracks hosting its most prestigious races.

Mage wins Kentucky Derby overshadowed by 7 horse deaths at Churchill Downs

After seven deaths raised questions about the future of horse racing, Mage earned a surprising Kentucky Derby triumph on Saturday, capping a nerve-rattling day that included two more fatalities ahead of the 149th edition of the world’s most famous race. Mage, a 15-1 shot, had only one victory in his career, giving little indication that he could triumph versus 17 rivals in a race that is not kind to the inexperienced. Still, he made a gutsy stretch run, overtaking Two Phil’s to his inside and winning by a length. Mage, who didn’t race as a two-year-old, ran 1 1/4 miles […]
