28+ min ago (550+ words) Published - November 28, 2025 04:52 am IST - DOHA McLaren are right to let their drivers race freely for the Formula One title and Oscar Piastri would be labelled a number two if he accepted anything else, Red Bull's Max Verstappen said on Thursday. McLaren's Lando Norris could secure the crown in Qatar on Sunday but has teammate Piastri and four-times world champion Verstappen chasing 24 points behind, with 58 still to be won. Constructors' champions McLaren have assured their drivers equal status and Verstappen, who is on an impressive run of form and stands to benefit if they take points off each other, said that decision was 'perfect'. "I think you can't do a better job than allowing them to race," the Dutch driver, whose current teammate Yuki Tsunoda is a clear number two, told reporters. "Why would you suddenly now say that Oscar wouldn't…...

Beaton was the VAR at Ibrox but neglected to advise match official Ross Hardie to review the footage after Livingston striker Teti Yengi's shot struck the arm of Emmanuel Fernandez when the score was 1-1.

But what does the future hold for the 34-year-old? After a P4 finish at the Daytona 500, Corey LaJoie battled with his performance as he mostly stacked up finishes out of the top 20. This trend continued throughout the season, before he was eventually swapped with Justin Haley. LaJoie piloted for Rick Ware Racing in the remaining season. For 2025, however, he had a different approach. Corey LaJoie competed for RWR on a limited schedule without a charter, meaning he had to qualify for every race that he participated in. While that seemed tough, he has seemingly recovered from the grief that Spire left him with. "You know the five stages of grief. I feel like…...

A victory at the Chinese Grand Prix sprint race remains his best result in a season in which he has failed to score a podium in a grand prix. When asked how he looks back on his first season with Ferrari, Hamilton gave a short and sharp reply. "I don't, I just look forwards," he said. Asked to elaborate, he…...

Ever since NASCAR returned to the venue in 2021, it has witnessed an increasing number of fans attending the race. Now, those same fans are worried a bit. 2021 was the first time in a decade that NASCAR raced on the track. While its surrounding region remained empty throughout the years, a different trend has followed in recent years. This has also induced fear for the fans, as Nashville Superspeedway's future seems to be in question owing to the massive industry surrounding it.
