A controversy reopened after qualifying was over, with a clarification.

Carlos Sainz took fifth place at the end of qualifying at Silverstone, and will start in the British Grand Prix behind teammate Charles Leclerc. It was precisely between the two Ferraris, however, that there were some changes of position during the course of the British Saturday, complete with piqued Team Radio between the Cavallino drivers. An issue on which, at the end of the day, the Spaniard himself wanted to return.

“In qualifying we have rules to respect on the positions with which we go down the track,” explained Sainz. “In the pitlane I always respected them, but there was a moment during qualifying when if I had not pushed I would have lost the lap. The reference is to the overtaking on Leclerc that took place before the flying lap in Q1. “Well done Carlos, congratulations. Nice overtaking at the last corner,” the Monegasque had complained to the team over the radio.

It should be recalled how in the most famous case of qualifying conditioned by the inability to do the flying lap due to traffic, at Monza 2019, Sainz himself was the only driver to make it past the checkered flag in time followed by future teammate Leclerc by a whisker. “That’s a little bit unfair. He made me lose tire temperature, and I’m even more at risk. I’m fourth, he’s third,” Sainz had moreover signaled to Ferrari when he had allowed his teammate to overtake him in the pitlane.

Never has an Italian made the final at the US Open

.

Jannik Sinner is aiming to become the first Italian ever to win the US Open final. To do so, he will have to get past Jack Draper. The Englishman is having a sensational tournament. Being a left-hander, he è even more unpredictable in his shots. Reason why the world number one has scheduled ad hoc trainings.

L’azzurro, in agreement with his team, changed his sparring partner for the training session ahead of the semifinal with Jack Draper. It è was decided to field a left-hander on the court against Jannik Sinner, so as to test the azure on the different rotations of the ball hit, precisely, by a player who has in his left hand his preferred hand.

Jannik Sinner does not want to be surprised. Although he knows Jack Draper very well (they are friends, they played doubles in Montreal), the South Tyrolean is taking care of every detail to get to the challenge at his best. He is too eager to earn the US Open final. He would become the first Italian ever to do so since the semifinals won by Corrado Barazzutti in 1977 and Matteo Berrettini in 2019.

On the other hand, Jack Draper knows he has already achieved a huge milestone. The 2001 class è to the first semifinal of a Slam event. An outstanding achievement when you consider that, in other Slams, he è never made it beyond the second round. He has nothing to lose and, perhaps because of this, should be taken with a grain of salt.

More athletic and young team: many changes expected

During Media Day, Messina è dwelt on many aspects, including the new style of play his revamped team will have. Compared to the recent past, the roster è has been rejuvenated and, athletically, greatly improved. All this è has been done to have a’more ù “courageous”.

“This è a team that canò and must run more. On offense, with longs who can run and plays who can push the ball well, we want to make a few more counterattacks” “, the clear words of the white-and-red coach, absolutely not worried about having to amalgamate a group with so many new faces: “Sometimes all it takes is just a click and everything then goes great”.

Undoubtedly, the new Olimpia Milano intrigues a lot. Having lost pivotal players like Hines, Melli or Hall, a lot of players of great potential have arrived. Also very important is the return of LeDay who, according to Messina, “è improved a lot thanks to the two years spent under Obradovic”.

After a full four years, Olimpia is conducting a normal retreat. There are no international commitments for the various national teams and, therefore, everyone is already available to coach Messina. Fans are looking forward to seeing her in action in the opener, next Sept. 21, against Reyer Venezia (match valid for the Italian Supercoppa semifinal). It will be a different Olimpia, in every sense.

Race without history at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. The hosts went wild in the second half. Mc Allister unlocked the result at 48′. Then came Julio Alvarez’s goals at 84′ and, in full recovery, Dybala&#39s that è made the final 3-0.

Of note was the debut, in an Albiceleste jersey, of Castellanos, who entered at 89’89; in place of Julian Alvarez. Also on the field was the candidate for the next Ballon d’Or Lautaro Martinez, who però did not find the way to goal. The only negative note was the injury suffered by Nico Gonzalez. The new Bianconeri purchase had to leave the field only five minutes after his entrance, apparently due to muscle trouble.

As is well known, there are several players in the Bianconeri’s house who are currently in the infirmary. In addition to Thuram and Weah, one è just had to stop Conceiçao (he will have; for a month or so). Losing ex-Purple Nico Gonzalez would also be a huge problem for Thiago Motta.
