Mercedes driver Antonelli was fourth with Norris fifth until the Briton went past on the penultimate lap of a race won by Red Bull's Max Verstappen. The overtake meant Norris, whose car has a Mercedes engine, goes to the final round in Abu Dhabi with a 12-point lead over Verstappen rather than 10. Verstappen's race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase informed him over the radio what had happened and said it looked like Antonelli just pulled over to let Norris through. Marko, Red Bull's…...

" The landmark federal antitrust trial against NASCAR opened Monday with three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin breaking down in tears minutes into his testimony as the first witness in a case that could upend the venerable stock car series. Hamlin's 23XI Racing, which he co-owns with Michael Jordan, and Front Row Motorsports claim the series is a monopolistic bully that leaves its teams no option but to comply with rules and financing they don't agree with. "We got to when I was about 20 and a decision had to be made: I could keep racing or go out and work for my dad's trailer business," Hamlin testified, adding that he later was thinking about what retirement looked like and found a team going out of business. He needed a partner and turned to Jordan, with whom he had developed a friendship when…...

NASCAR has denied these allegations and insisted its contracts and supplier agreements are in line with what is considered standard practices for any auto racing series. The charter system began in…...
