Lewis Hamilton has been negative about his own performance at the Italian Grand Prix. At the weekend, when Mercedes announced Hamilton’s replacement (Andrea Kimi Antonelli), the Brit suggested Mercedes deserved better in qualifying and suggested the young Italian might do a better job than him. Toto Wolff has assessed this negative attitude. The seven-time World Champion will feel the support from the Tifosi at Monza in 12 months time, but this year Hamilton struggled. In qualifying, he said he was furious at his own performance and has since claimed that he would’ve beaten a Ferrari had he started in a…
AC Milan stars Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez were involved in some controversy this weekend when the duo did not involve themselves in Paulo Fonseca’s mini team-talk during a cooling break. Today, a report has suggested what the internal aftermath looked like. Before this weekend’s clash against Lazio, reports suggested that Leao and Theo were going to be left out of the starting eleven by Fonseca. Therefore, it was only right that the duo were involved in the equaliser and some controversy when the game rolled around. Shortly after the duo came on, the Portuguese head coach took the chance…
Fabio Capello has joined the crowd of those criticising Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez for the way they behaved during AC Milan’s 2-2 draw with Lazio. The ‘cooling break saga’ has been dominating the media headlines and the social media feeds of Milan fans since Saturday night’s game in the capital. It would be fair to say that it has generated a mixed reaction, with some viewing the incident as being more serious than others. For example, Paolo Di Canio branded Theo and Leao ‘a disgrace’ for the way they conducted themselves during the incident, suggesting that they disrespected the coach and their…
It’s not unusual for opposing players to workout together during the offseason, particularly when they share a similar skillset. If you’re a shooter looking to hone your craft over the summer months, there’s no one more apt to turn to than Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. The 2x MVP is the greatest three-point shooter to ever live, only enhancing that this offseason in Paris where he drained 17 threes across the final two games to help secure his first Olympic Gold Medal with Team USA. One player who’s jumped at the opportunity to train with Curry is 2023 championship-winner…
A report surfaced last week that the Los Angeles Lakers had their “sights set” on acquiring Luka Doncic in the future. While their dream will likely remain just that, not everyone associated with the Lakers would be happy with the Dallas Mavericks star as their main attraction. Former Lakers champion Robert Horry went on his show, the “Big Shot Bob” podcast, this week and warned LA of having someone like Luka Doncic as their lead man. “He ain’t the best defender now and that’s the Lakers problem! You gotta have some athletic guys that can play some defense and Luka, he can score with the best…
Isaiah Thomas explained why playing for the Boston Celtics is so special by describing the fans as key to the success of the NBA champions, whom he played for between 2014-2017 and left a memorable impression. Thomas, currently without a team after leaving the Phoenix Suns, spent three seasons in New England where he shot for averages of 19, 22.2 and 28.9 points per game as he became a fan favorite. And although he never managed to get his hands on an NBA Finals ring, the Massachusetts natives took him under their wing and still continue to do so one decade on as he continues to feel…
JJ Redick’s got the keys to the Lakers’ kingdom this season, but don’t get it twisted-this ride’s about to get bumpy. The former sharpshooter turned rookie head coach is stepping into a pressure cooker, and it’s cranked all the way up. Lakers fans, including the legendary Magic Johnson, are urging patience, but in La La Land, patience is a rare commodity, especially with LeBron James creeping toward 40 and Anthony Davis not far behind at 30. The clock’s ticking, and everyone knows it. Trevor Lane, the Lakers insider with his ear to the ground, isn’t sugarcoating anything. With the West…
Week 1 of the 2024 season is in the books, for the SEC at least, and it was an overall shaky debut for one of the nation’s premiere conferences. Though plenty of the 16 schools beat up on lesser opponents, the SEC had a more difficult time leaving an impression against more equally matched Power Four foes. In fact, SEC teams went 1-3 against ranked opponents in Week 1. Now, to be fair, a couple of those losses were expected: unranked Florida lost at home to No. 19 Miami, and No. 20 Texas A&M had No. 7 Notre Dame locked…
The Italian Grand Prix was one of the most eventful weekends of the season thus far with both the Drivers’ Championship and Constructors’ Championship experiencing major ramifications. Max Verstappen was only able to finish sixth at Monza, while title rival Lando Norris couldn’t convert pole position into victory, finishing behind home hero Charles Leclerc and team-mate Oscar Piastri. Elsewhere, there were frustrations for Mercedes too with Lewis Hamilton lamenting his qualifying ability and George Russell picking up damage from a clash with Piastri on lap one. Heading into the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the gap between Red Bull and McLaren now stands at just eight points, while Norris is…
Marc Marquez finally ended his almost-three-year-long victory drought in last weekend’s Aragon MotoGP, a victory which came after a weekend he described as “perfect”. Marquez topped all three practice sessions, took pole position by 0.8 seconds, won the Sprint in dominant fashion, and was five seconds clear of Jorge Martin in the Grand Prix on Sunday. Only the Warm Up, which was wet after overnight rain on Saturday and into Sunday morning, was not topped by Marquez, as he didn’t set a lap time. “It was a perfect weekend,” Marquez told the post-race press conference. “We lead all the sessions,…
