Norris celebrated becoming just the 11th driver from Britain to win an F1 title at a glitzy afterparty at the W Hotel which sits on top of the Yas Marina Circuit where only hours earlier he realised his childhood dream. Videos have already emerged of the 26-year-old toasting his success by singing Queen's "We are the Champions' and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline'. Norris was 34 points off the championship pace, but fought back to end Max Verstappen's run of four consecutive world titles. Verstappen's victory at the season finale was his eighth of the year " one more than Norris " and his sixth in the last nine races, and he finished just two points behind his McLaren…...

Norris started his Formula 1 career with McLaren in 2019, alongside Sainz -- a popular partnership, dubbed 'CarLando' by fans, which lasted until the Spaniard joined Ferrari in 2021. One theme of Norris' post-race champions' press conference was his pride in winning the title his own way and sticking true to his values. Sainz doubled down on that in his own media sessions, saying the Englishman proves that good guys don't always finish last in Formula 1. "Very happy for him as a driver because he's always been an extremely quick driver, quicker than what people give him credit for, extremely talented," Sainz told Sky Sports F1. "The first years at McLaren, I saw a guy who had the speed to be…...

Rick Ware is moving its alliance from RFK Racing to Richard Childress Racing in the move as well. Rick Ware Racing has made a lot of different moves lately. They were running two cars in the 2024 season. Then, with the departure of Justin Haley, they had to make plans otherwise. So, the team leased a charter to RFK Racing and moved into the RFK facility in a new alliance. That was short-lived. Now, Rick Ware has only one charter after agreeing to sell their second one to Legacy Motor Club. However, that charter is still being leased out to RFK for 2026 through Legacy because the Toyota organization didn't have enough time to prepare for an expansion for the…...

In 2026, however, that pride of place will come to an end, as the UCI calendar confirmed some time ago that both the men's and women's races would now take place on Sunday, April 12 " with the men's under-23 and junior races all taking place that day, too. It's a format followed by most big one-day races, including the Tour of Flanders and Li'ge-Bastogne-Li'ge, which has sometimes meant for early starts for the women or poor viewing figures, though Flanders Classics has experimented with the format in recent…...

1+ hour, 5+ min ago (521+ words) NASCAR's expansion into territories outside its national borders has been a popular theme in the sport this season. With Mexico being the sport's first points race after more than six decades, NASCAR demonstrated its desire to tap into a more global market, which was also evident in its Japan outing. Following the startling scenes at the Phoenix finale, where Kyle Larson won the championship over Denny Hamlin, most were looking forward to a breather after 28 weeks of non-stop racing, except for three teams. When Toyota's senior leadership expressed their wish to see NASCAR's NextGen cars race at the Fuji Speedway, despite the enticing notion, the teams were not in a position to agree immediately. The primary reason for this was the new charter agreement. After receiving approval from the governing body, the next challenge for the teams was the tight…...
