Red Bull have reacted with “surprise and disappointment” after being found guilty of a “minor” breach of the F1 budget cap in 2021. The Austrian team insisted their “2021 submission was below the cost cap limit”, barely an hour after the FIA, the sport’s governing body, said it was now determining what action will be taken. Ad A minor overspend means Red Bull exceeded the budget by less than 5%.
World Cup, scheduled to be held in India, Shubman Gill will in all probability be one of the first-choice picks. The 23-year-old's game is modelled perfectly for ODIs and Tests and it is very good to see him not being pushed into T20Is, despite him being a regular in the IPL. He is yet to play a T20I match. The tournament that someone like Shubman will be eyeing the most right now is of course the next edition of the ODI World Cup next year.
Max Verstappen has secured his second Formula One world championship after winning Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix.
Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has been in top form for his team over the last two years or so, which has seen him rise to the top of the ICC rankings in T20Is. India batter Suryakumar Yadav, too, has been on the charge since making his debut last year, and is currently second behind Rizwan in the rankings. On Friday, Rizwan smashed an unbeaten 78 to help Pakistan beat Bangladesh in the opening match of a tri-series in Hamilton.
Max Verstappen grabbed pole position at the Japanese Grand Prix by one hundredth of a second as Charles Leclerc had to settle for second. The Dutchman, who will clinch the title if he wins in Japan and claims the fastest lap bonus point regardless of results elsewhere, posted 1.29:304 early in Q3 – a time that was almost, but not quite, eclipsed by Leclerc’s last lap. Ad Verstappen had been the quickest in FP3 and he continued his excellent form in the day's first session into the second as he claimed first place on the grid for Sunday's race.
Christian Horner has suggested Formula 1’s budget cap row has been “designed to be a bit of a distraction” for Max Verstappen’s expected second title. Last week, reports claimed two teams went over the limit of the $145 million budget cap with Red Bull and Aston Marin allegedly breaking the rules. Ad Lewis Hamilton says the outcome of last year’s championship would have been different if Mercedes spent “300,000 more” on car developments.
George Russell led Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes one-two in a wet second practice session for the Japanese Grand Prix. The high-speed Suzuka circuit and the harder tyre compounds were expected to play into Mercedes’ hands, although the conditions are likely to not be representative for the predicted dry weather for qualifying on Saturday. Ad Hamilton is looking for his first victory in 2022 to maintain his streak of winning a race in every season he’s competed in since making his Formula 1 debut in 2007.
George Russell topped the timesheets in FP2 at the Japanese Grand Prix, with Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in P2.
