Max Verstappen’s record-breaking dominance in Mexico, Ferrari third with Charles Leclerc

In the Grand Prix of Mexico City è yet another race dominated by Max Verstappen who with 16 wins sets a new record for wins in a single season and equals the 51 Grands Prix won by Alain Prost who è the fourth all-time multiple winner. Second è Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes. Ferrari, which started from the front row, finished third with Charles Leclerc and fourth with Carlos Sainz.

The Ferraris get off to a bad start in contrast to the Red Bulls and Verstappen immediately takes the lead, Perez with an incredible acceleration flanks Leclerc until he overtakes him with the nose but the Monegasque è closed by Verstappen on the other side and at the first corner he canò do nothing but touch the Mexican and send him off the track.

Checo pits to the disappointment of thousands of fans and can’t restart, Leclerc on the other hand has a damaged front wing and on the fourth lap also loses a baffle but continues ahead of Sainz and the virtual safety-car is decided, which is applied only one lap. On lap 11 Hamilton takes fourth position at the expense of Ricciardo.

Verstappen meanwhile goes quietly on the run and makes his first stop at the end of lap 19 and returns to the track in seventh position, then quickly overtaking Russell and Piastri, while Hamilton recovers Sainz but on lap 24 he in turn makes his pit stop, meanwhile the world champion also overtakes Ricciardo and è third going after the two Ferraris to the tune of fast laps.

Shortly afterwards the Dutchman overtakes Sainz who stops at the end of the thirtieth lap and returns to the track behind Hamilton, the next lap it is the turn of Leclerc who re-enters ahead of the Mercedes Briton. On the thirty-third Magnussen spins, probably due to a rear suspension failure, and crashes violently in the esse area and of course the safety car enters the track.

Verstappen immediately stops in the pits for the second tire change and mounts hard tires after having medium, like almost everyone else but one lap later, exactly halfway through the race, the red flag is shown, preumably for a fire start on Magnussen’s Haasa.

After the 35° lap behind the safety car there is a restart from a standing start from the grid with Verstappen, Leclerc, Hamilton and Sainz maintaining their positions. Lewis is still on medium and Leclerc on hard and on lap 40 Hamilton, despite being pushed on the grass on the inside, manages to pass him on the braking.

With about twenty laps to go Tsunoda ebtra like a kamikaze on Piastri who è seventh and who can’t do anything but crash into him on the entry to the corner, the Japanese driver spins and loses many positions while the Australian manages to continue and behind him is his teammate Norris, who started seventeenth and author of a great comeback despite a disastrous second start. Lando è faster than Oscar and McLaren orders the rookie to let him pass and he obeys.

Norris a few laps later makes a great overtake against Ricciardo and with four laps to go the same fate befalls Russell. Verstappen crosses the finish line undisturbed in the lead and beats his own overall record of 15 wins in the season, second  Hamilton, third Leclerc, then Sainz, Norris splendid fifth, Russell, Ricciardo, Piastri, Albon and Ocon.

Published

on

The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up

This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.

The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.

Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia

So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.

Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).

Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.

As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

Published

Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren

.

The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.

“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.

The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.

Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
