It's really poor from McLaren. Just avoid anything like this and you've basically win the title. Now Max has halved the deficit.
Norris will need an extremely clean weekend in Qatar to bring it home.

The Cardinals are woeful. Must have had a dozen penalties in the first half, down 15 points, playing scared.
Fire this inept coaching staff, trade Kyler in the off-season and start all over again...again.

Look, I really like The Race and their coverage (podcasts are brilliant) but headlines like this wind me up.
Kimi is a 19 year old rookie, he's had predictable ups and downs this year. Finally what?
The article is fine as well but I wish they wouldn't lean into clickbait and hyperbole so much.

As for the Cardinals, I'm not watching tonight but overall it's a total mess. Gannon needs to go by season's end, and yes we need to start all over again.
The team is soft, the franchise is led by clueless people and the ambition is basically zero.

Fantastic race today in Brazil. Norris looks every bit a World Champion in waiting now...Max remains incredible, super drives from Antonelli and Bearman...and the less said about Ferrari the better.

Hannah Hampton was probably the most important player in our Euros win this year, and that's all I can say about this.

Goalkeeper lifts lid on tensions in Lionesses squad

Hannah Hampton replaced Earps as England’s No 1
Mary Earps says she protested to the Lionesses head coach, Sarina Wiegman, that “bad behaviour is being rewarded” when rival goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was restored to the England side.
In her autobiography All In, serialised exclusively in the Guardian, Earps says Hampton’s “behaviour behind the scenes had frequently risked derailing training sessions and team resources” during England’s triumph at the 2022 Euros. Continue reading...

I was quite relieved when the Tories lost power. Turns out that relief was misplaced, because this government is just the same - lurching to the right to appease the minority of knuckle-draggers and bigots who can pick up a pen on Election Day.

PM says Labour will address suggestions of antisemitic hate as he orders review of protest policing powers
Keir Starmer will order the home secretary to look at further curbs on protests including potential powers to take action against specific inflammatory chants at pro-Palestinian protests.
Speaking to reporters en route to Mumbai, the prime minister said Labour was looking at going even further than the measures announced by Shabana Mahmood, which would look at the “cumulative impact” of repeat protests in certain locations. Continue reading...

I am currently standing holding up the massive balcony door to our living room because it came off its hinges during this storm, and maintenance are stuck in traffic.

Welcome to the modern world, where you can order a taxi, that taxi can turn up, you can stand at the door of that taxi to get in it...but because there is a glitch on the app, the driver leaves you stood there because the trip is "cancelled".

This MC (Heather McMahan) reflects the US crowd at this event, pathetic and embarrassing. This isn't WWE, it's Golf.
Players like JT have behaved brilliantly even in the face of a heavy Ryder Cup defeat. Same can't be said for this crowd.
