In Mexico City triumph of Carlos Sainz and Ferrari
At Città of Mexico triumph of Carlos Sainz and Ferrari
Carlos Sainz in the Ferrari triumphs in the Mexico City Grand Prix preceding the McLaren of Lando Norris and the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc who è third. Fourth and fifth Lewis Hamilton and George Russell in the Mercedes, sixth world champion Max Verstappen in the Red Bull.
As always Verstappen è the best at the start and at the end of the very long straight Sainz, who è already; behind the Dutchman, cuts the first corner remains in front but obviously has to let the world champion pass, but in the middle of the group Albon crashes into Tsunoda who ends up against the wall and then the safety car enters the track. Meanwhile, Perez is penalized 5 seconds for false start, actually è è because heé was clearly ahead of the starting pitch.
When we restart, on the ninth lap Sainz surprises Verstappen with a very long braking move and overtakes him, the next lap Norris also tries but once again fails to pass, or rather, he passes by cutting the corner after Verstappen has thrown him off, the Dutchman repasses him in front, the two touch, they both go out of the track limits and Leclerc takes the opportunity to pass them both and get behind Sainz! Moral of the story, Verstappen is penalized 20 seconds and not 5 for the second maneuver, and he will have to serve them at the pit stop!”
Max stops at the end of lap 26°, Norris at the end of lap 30° and in the next two laps è the turn of the two Ferraris, first Leclerc and then Sainz. Verstappen loses a dozen positions com the prolonged stop but in a few laps he regains the points zone and climbs up to sixth position behind the Mercedes of Russell who è fourth and Hamilton who è fifth and battling each other.
The first three positions seem to be crystallized with Sainz ahead of Leclerc and Norris but the Briton slowly gets closer to the Monegasque and when he è on him, with nine laps to go, Leclerc goes long and miraculously avoids the wall of the last corner but Norris passes him. With six laps to go Hamilton takes fourth place from teammate Russell.
Sainz crosses the finish line victorious, for him è his fourth Formula 1 win and second of the season after the one in Melbourne, Australia, for Ferrari è his fifth win of 2024 and third in the last five races. Norris and Leclerc move closer to Verstappen in the world standings at 47 and 71 points behind respectively but the margin è still reassuring for the Dutchman with four races and two sprints to go.
Leclerc gained an extra point with the fastest lap made on the last lap because the team made him stop as his lead over the Mercedes was very wide. In the constructors’ standings, the Maranello marque bypasses Red Bull by 25 lengths and moves to 29 from McLaren. Closing out the top ten, in the order from seventh to 10th, are Kevin Magnussen in Haas, Oscar Piastri in McLaren, Nico Hulkenberg in Haas and Pierre Gasly in Alpine.

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).

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”.
