BAKU : McLaren will not change their approach to the Formula One drivers' championship once they have secured the constructors' crown for the second year in a row, team boss Andrea Stella said on Friday.
BAKU : Lewis Hamilton led Charles Leclerc in a Ferrari one-two in practice for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Friday while McLaren's title contender Lando Norris hit the wall.
BAKU : McLaren's Lando Norris was fastest in a red-flagged first practice for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Friday with championship-leading teammate Oscar Piastri second after suffering a power unit problem on his opening lap.
The Formula 1 title race is heating up, and McLaren’s golden rule — “Let ‘em race” — risks expanding into a whole rule book.Asking Oscar Piastri to give up second place to Lando Norris at the Italian Grand Prix because of a slow pit stop showed how McLaren’s seemingly simple approach risks being bogged down in debates about what’s fair on track.The battle between Norris and Piastri will become McLaren’s sole focus if the team can wrap up the constructors’ title Sunday at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku with a record seven races remaining.McLaren leads by 337 points and takes the title if one driver wins and the other is second or third, which would end the faint mathematical chances of Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull.It’s a big contrast to last year, when McLaren held off Ferrari in the final race of the season to win the constructors’ title for the first time in 26 years. “It’s a pretty remarkable position that we’re in,” Piastri said.
Jose Mourinho has been appointed as Benfica’s new head coach – and one of his first assignments will be against his old club Chelsea.
LISBON: Benfica appointed Jose Mourinho as their coach on Thursday, with the Portuguese returning to work in his homeland 21 years after leaving Porto for Chelsea. The 62-year-old, who also coached Real Madrid and Manchester United among other clubs, was sacked by Turkish side Fenerbahce in August after Benfica beat them in the Champions League play-offs. Mourinho has signed a contract “to run until the end of the 2026/27 season,” Benfica said in a statement, with an option for either party to end the deal at the end of the current campaign. The two-time European champions sacked Bruno Lage after a shock defeat in their Champions League opener against Azerbaijani minnows Qarabag on Tuesday. Mourinho will soon face reunions against former sides Chelsea and Porto, in the Champions League on September 30 and in the Primeira Liga on October 5 respectively. “I come to Benfica at a different stage in my career, and as a person... we transform for the better,” Mourinho told reporters, sitting alongside Benfica president Rui Costa. “I’m more altruistic, less self-centered, I think less about myself and more about the good I can do for others, the joy I can bring to others.
BAKU :Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, Formula One's most successful driver with seven world championships and a record 105 wins, said on Thursday he had sold his car collection and was now more into art.
BAKU :Lewis Hamilton said his hopes of a first win for Ferrari this season looked "far-fetched" but he still hoped to stand on the podium at some point in the final eight races.
