On 41’ comes the Nerazzurri advantage: the Var awards a penalty kick to the guests for a hand foul by Gigot. From the penalty spot Calhanoglu does not miss and beats Provedel. Four minutes later, Inzaghi’s men immediately found the double with Dimarco, who, from first, slipped the Biancocelesti goalkeeper on a beautiful assist from Dumfries.

At the beginning of the second half, Inter found the way to the goal twice more first with Barella at 51’ and then with Dumfries at 53’. After the round of substitutions, there’è also room for the fifth goal of the meneghini: at 77’ Carlos Augusto steals the ball in midfield and serves Dimarco, who è is good at closing the one-two with his teammate, who anticipates Marusic and beats Provedel again.

Finally, in the midst of the recovery, the deficit becomes even heavier for Lazio, as Thuram scores the sixth goal on an assist from Mhkitaryan.

Thanks to this success, the Nerazzurri, with one game less, reach 34 points in the standings, getting closer again to Napoli and Atalanta. The biancocelesti, on the other hand, remain stationary at 31, failing to take advantage of the braking of Fiorentina and Juventus.

Jorge Martin doesn’t hold back ambition

During an interview given to the microphones of “Motorsport”, the newly crowned world champion Jorge Martin, among the various topics covered, has è expressed himself bluntly about his feelings after testing the new Aprilia.

“I can not say much about the bike, but the expression on my face è was seen by everyone. I was happy and I don&#39t think I could be happier than the team is. I think the new package is very interesting and that Aprilia&#39s leap in quality in 2025 will be the biggest in years. The potential è high and looks very good” debuted the Spanish centaur.

“L’commitment Aprilia puts it there and I saw it firsthand. I noticed from the beginning that they love me and do everything for me. They feel the responsibility of hosting the world champion. Everyone wants to win, but to do that we have to apply a strategy and a proper work dynamic” added the former Prima Pramac.

“In 2024 Aprilia è started better than ever, then from Aragon it started to decline. It’s very complicated to know what happens when you è out. It’s very difficult to understand how you can win in Austin in a comeback with Maverick and in Jerez, right after that, end up with more than 11 seconds behind” concluded Jorge Martin.

Red Bull, Yuki Tsunoda-Liam Lawson: Helmut Marko sets deadline

After the conclusion of the 2024 season that saw Max Verstappen win his fourth consecutive title, Red Bull è already at work ahead of 2025 where the main issue to be unraveled will be to define the Dutchman’s teammate, since the confirmation of Sergio Perez would be decidedly unlikely. In names that would be circulating for quite some time to replace the Mexican would be those of Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson. On the topic è also returned Austrian team adviser Helmut Marko, who provided a valuable update during an interview with “Speedweek”.

“Regarding Red Bull’s line-up for 2025 we will announce news already in the coming days. Various speculations are circulating on this issue, including some regarding alleged transfer penalties, but I can assure that they are absolutely unfounded” began the former Austrian driver.

” Yuki drove the RB20 in testing and the team è was very pleased with his technical guidance. On this aspect è he is far better than we thought. He è one of the many talents we have and è an example of how well our nursery is working” added the Graz native.

“It&#39s a nice gratification that, after a long time without any change, several promising rookies can show what they are capable of. Next year we will have Bortoleto who won F2, as well as Bearman and Antonelli. If we were to promote one of our junior drivers to Racing Bulls, it would bring the number of rookies next season to four.

Should Red Bull decide to promote one between Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson, the Faenza-based team would have to promote Isack Hadjar to a starting driver.
