6+ min ago (452+ words) Lando Norris is on the cusp of winning his first F1 world title. Despite a disaster in Las Vegas, in which both Norris and McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri were disqualified after it was found that their cars' skid blocks had worn out too much, Norris remains the heavy favourite to end Max Verstappen's four-year championship reign. That mistake saw Norris, who finished second on the Strip, miss out on 18 points as the victorious Verstappen drew level with Piastri. Norris remained 24 points ahead of the pair, though that lead was cut to 22 after Piastri won the sprint race in Qatar, with Norris finishing third and Verstappen fourth. Norris can still be confirmed as champion on Sunday, though he will have to do things the hard way after a mistake in qualifying led to the abandonment of his final lap and Piastri taking…...

Adelaide Australia " ZUMAf186 20251127_zsp_f186_153 Copyright: xJamesxForresterx Jesse Love walked into the Australian Supercars paddock riding the high of a dream season. After winning the 2025 NASCAR O'Reilly Series championship, the 20-year-old phenom arrived in Adelaide ready to test himself against an entirely different kind of chaos in the Super2 series. He'd studied the cars, watched the races, and talked to the veterans. He thought he knew what was coming.

What was supposed to be a fun off-season challenge quickly turned into a humbling lesson, leading to a…...

Most of everything I see is he's" riled everybody up. Most of what the people I see is like, "That's right, Denny. I hope you destroy NASCAR." And I'm like, "Oh, God.'" Denny Hamlin wasn't just irritated; he was outright livid over the article, even going so far as to sarcastically suggest the NASCAR Communication Director, Mike Forde, helped co-write it. To Hamlin, it felt like yet another example of the media misrepresenting his beloved team's views. His frustration exploded when he fired back at Ryan McGee, writing, "Please give credit to @mfordefor helping you write this propaganda piece that they want pushed to switch the narrative. Continuous lies about our stance, NASCAR's motives for its…...

Guys, we work 40 hours a week, bust our a, excuse my language, to make this happen. All my guys have got full-time jobs. We ain't no big team." The 38-year-old driver walked away with the biggest triumph of his super late model career on Saturday night at the Freedom Factory, storming from 12th on the grid to the top spot and pocketing $30,000 in the 10th annual Bill Bigley Sr. Memorial 128. Even though Gorham topped the charts in qualifying, the 12-car drop put him deep into traffic for the start of the 28-car feature. With the race running almost entirely green, with only a single caution on the second lap, he carved through…...

After being eliminated in Q1 at the last race in Las Vegas, qualifying dead-last, and in SQ1 for the sprint race in Qatar, Hamilton could not turn around his wretched form late on Saturday and was eliminated for the third consecutive time in the first session of qualifying. The seven-time world champion, still without a podium to his name in Ferrari red, was unable to find any further performance out of his troublesome car and will start third-last once again.

The McLaren driver's grip on the title was weakened last week in Las Vegas after the FIA's investigation into the skid blocks underneath both drivers' cars, with Max Verstappen winning the race on The Strip. Norris had finished second, after a mistake on pole at the opening corner had dropped him behind Verstappen and Mercedes' George Russell. Norris moved clear of Russell with 16 laps remaining to take second place, with Oscar Piastri two positions back in fourth.

1+ hour, 5+ min ago (599+ words) The Qatar Sprint on Saturday should have been a warm-up for a thrilling Grand Prix, but instead, after 19 laps, fans and drivers were left disappointed because the sprint race looked more like a traffic queue than an actual race. Almost nobody could overtake, hardly anyone could get close enough to attempt one, and the frustration spread quickly through the paddock. The concern now is that Sunday's Grand Prix could look the same, which is not the kind of race F1 fans or drivers are looking forward to. Nobody expressed their frustration more directly than Alonso, who did not hold back and even questioned whether the sport has become too tightly restricted to deliver exciting racing. "It was a procession of cars," he told DAZN. "In today's F1 we have tyre pressures dictated by Pirelli, pitstops dictated by the FIA, weight distribution dictated…...
