" An economist testified in Michael Jordan's federal antitrust trial against NASCAR that the racing series owes a combined $364.7 million in damages to the two teams suing it over a revenue-sharing dispute. Edward Snyder, a professor of economics who worked in the antitrust division of the Department of Justice and has testified in more than 30 cases, including "Deflategate" involving the NFL's New England Patriots, testified on Monday. He gave three specific reasons NASCAR is a monopoly participating in anticompetitive business practices. The suit is about the 2025 charter agreement, which was presented to teams on a Friday in September 2024 with a same-day deadline to sign the 112-page document. The charter offer came after more than two years of bitter negotiations between NASCAR and its teams, who have called the agreement "a take-it-or-leave-it" ultimatum that they signed with "a gun to their…...

It comes after the Tsunoda was handed a five-second time penalty during the F1 2025 title decider at Yas Marina. This article was originally published on December 8 2025 Tsunoda's Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen collected his eighth victory of the year in Sunday's season finale in Abu Dhabi as third-placed Norris secured a maiden world championship.

42+ min ago (498+ words) Comparing F1 and NASCAR is not entirely fair. Not only are they very different technically, but the points systems and the ways champions are determined are also extremely different. In F1, however, the way the winner is chosen has proven to be less controversial than in NASCAR in recent years. There are lessons that the sport can take from it. Max Verstappen had been champion for 1456 days, winning four consecutive titles. Sadly, despite his Abu Dhabi GP win on Sunday, it was Lando Norris who became the newly crowned champ. He finished P3 , but edged the Dutchman by two points to stand tall on the third step of the podium. Was it unfair to Verstappen, who drove a brilliant race in the finale to win comfortably? Not really. Because NASCAR fans, too, want the total points earned across the season to be the…...

42+ min ago (450+ words) Lando Norris waited a long time for his moment, and when it finally arrived under the lights of Abu Dhabi, it didn't disappoint. After a season filled with pressure and intense fights, he finally crossed the line third in the last race of the year and sealed his first F1 world title. However, now that the trophy is his, many people are wondering about Norris' actual winnings for becoming the F1 world champion, as many assume F1 rewards its champion with everything one could expect. Surprisingly, the answer isn't as glamorous as most would think. For anyone who expected Norris to become instantly richer because of his title win, the truth may feel a little unexpected, as F1 does not hand any prize money directly to the winning driver. That money is allocated to the teams based on their finishing position in the constructors…...
