5+ min ago (404+ words) Lando Norris will be looking over his shoulder this weekend in Doha after the disaster of Las Vegas. The McLaren driver is close to sealing his first F1 title, as he holds a 24-point lead over Oscar Piastri and reigning champion Max Verstappen, but his and his team-mate's qualifcation last week, after finishing second and fourth, has given the Dutchman hope of a fifth straight crown. There are 33 points up for grabs this weekend, with the addition of the Saturday sprint race, so Norris can be crowned champion come Sunday. But race strategy will be harder given the two mandatory pit stops. Can Norris see out victory or will Verstappen, who has won the last two races in Doha, take it to the final round? The 2025 Qatar Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, November 30. The Lusail International Circuit will host the…...

23+ min ago (482+ words) Nov 28, 2025 | 3:55 PM EST NASCAR's management has been under question ever since Steve Phelps' text conversations were made public, owing to the antitrust lawsuit. It also received flak for criticizing the Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) series, founded by Tony Stewart, Ray Evernham, George Pyne, and Sandy Montag. But now we have a twist. Despite a positive initial reception, the Series faced a major downfall, seeing Evernham walk off. With messages from Phelps calling the SRX a "trash" series, NASCAR was thought to be a major reason for the series' downfall, but Kenny Wallace recently cleared the air, as he revealed the true reason behind its collapse. SRX's concept was rather simple: spec-car races piloted by some of the most renowned drivers, held on short tracks. The idea was to put the best drivers in an all-equal test and see who emerged…...

24+ min ago (376+ words) The Welshman had to change a rear-left puncture which cost him more than two minutes and dropped him to tenth overall by Friday's midpoint. Crucially, he is three places and over two and half minutes behind his Toyota Gazoo Racing team-mate and main title rival Sebastien Ogier. "We had a puncture alarm right at the beginning," said Evans. "It was going down quite slow but it was so far to go that we had to make a decision to change it where we could. Not ideal." Evans came to Saudi Arabia with a three-point lead over Ogier in the standings but if things remain the same it will be the Frenchman, who is now provisionally two points ahead of the Briton, who will take the title. If Ogier does triumph it will be quite remarkable in that he has skipped…...
