In the round-up: George Russell says he is far more interested in winning races than finishing as runner-up in the world championship. In brief Russell wants wins, not second in championship Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free Russell, whose best championship position in F1 is 15th, lies fourth in the standings with six races to go, 16 points behind second-placed Charles Leclerc . However taking that runner-up spot “doesn’t mean a huge amount,” he admitted. “Nobody remembers who finishes second in the championship. “If you’re given a choice between winning a couple of races this year and finishing outside the top three, or winning no races and finishing second, I would choose the race wins. “We’ll take it, we’ll definitely take it for the team, obviously we’re going to try and beat Ferrari in the championship but for me I’m here to win and unfortunately that’s a bit out of reach in terms of the championship.” No Pau Grand Prix for Euroformula in … [Read more...] about RaceFans Round-up: Russell wants wins more than second in points

Yuki Tsunoda says he and AlphaTauri have reassessed their targets for the season after a difficult 2022 campaign. Having ended his rookie season by helping AlphaTauri reach sixth in the 2021 Constructors’ Championship, Tsunoda would have had every expectation that he might kick on in 2022. But the reality has been far from that. The Japanese driver is on 11 points, just under a third of what he scored in 2021, and has failed to finish in the top 10 since the sixth race of the season. It is not Tsunoda alone that is struggling and the experienced Pierre Gasly is only on 22 points so far this campaign, suggesting the problems lie with the car rather than the drivers. With six races to go , AlphaTauri will be looking back as much as they are looking forward in the Constructors’ Championship . Haas remain one point ahead while Aston Martin are eight points behind. Tsunoda admitted the team have had to lower their expectations and said a P7 finish would be a realistic … [Read more...] about Yuki Tsunoda sets out his targets for remaining six races of the F1 2022 season

Zak Brown has said Formula 1 is already popular in the States even without an F1 driver or a team solely based in the country. Formula 1 has enjoyed a huge boost in popularity in the United States of late with new owners Liberty Media seemingly targeting that demographic. A record three races will take place on American soil in 2023 with the Las Vegas Grand Prix set to follow the Miami Grand Prix onto the calendar. But still, there remains a lack of an American presence on the track. Haas label themselves as an American team with a headquarters in Kannapolis but a lot of their work is undergone at their UK and Italian bases. Indeed, there has not been an American driver in F1 for seven years and following Colton Herta’s collapsed move to AlphaTauri , that does not look like changing anytime soon. Following the breakdown of the deal, F1 was criticised for being too European centric with IndyCar driver Graham Rahal claiming it was “elitist.” In a tweet he said: “They … [Read more...] about Zak Brown: ‘F1 does not need an American team or driver to be popular in the US’

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Albert Pujols seemed like a long shot in early August to reach 700 home runs, still more than a dozen swings from the hallowed mark and his power stroke all but gone. Or so it appeared. Now showing the pop of his youth in the final weeks of his career, the 42-year-old slugger got there with two long shots. Pujols hit his 700th home run, connecting for his second drive of the game and becoming the fourth player in major league history to make it to the milestone as the St. Louis Cardinals routed the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-0 Friday night. Pujols joined Barry Bonds (762 homers), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714) in one of baseball’s most exclusive clubs. This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 12 “Don’t get me wrong, I know where my places stand in this game, but since Day One when I made my debut, I was never about numbers, never about chasing … [Read more...] about Barry Bonds gets some new company in the 700 Home Run Club

Sentiments among NFL team owners regarding Daniel Snyder's ownership of the Washington Commanders have shifted significantly, as they await the findings of both a congressional investigation and a league-commissioned probe into allegations of misconduct by him and his team. Multiple owners said in recent days they believe serious consideration may be given to attempting to oust Snyder from the league's ownership ranks, either by convincing him to sell his franchise or by voting to remove him. All spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, but their willingness to address it at all is notable because the league and owners have publicly said little to nothing substantive about the prospect of seeking to get Snyder out of the NFL. While no action is imminent, the comments reflect a growing level of frustration among the owners over the controversies that have engulfed Snyder and the Commanders and the team's financial performance under his ownership, … [Read more...] about NFL owners’ attitudes harden toward Commanders’ Daniel Snyder

Vanarin Kuch grew up in his family’s bakeries in Houston, Texas, watching old episodes of Iron Chef for inspiration. “Being of Cambodian immigrants, my entire family, even to this day, has always owned a doughnut shop — so I’ve kind of always been in the industry, totally illegally working at 13 and 14 frying doughnuts,” he jokes. Kuch went to culinary school and later worked in some of Houston’s best restaurants, including the city’s outpost of Jean-Georges and later at the acclaimed Tiny Boxwoods , where he served for three years as the pastry chef. His work led to a nomination for Food & Wine ’s Best New Pastry Chef, and he also appeared on Top Chef: Just Desserts . A move to New York City led to jobs at fine-dining restaurants Gotham Bar and Grill and Boulud Sud. “Then an opportunity came, and it was pretty much my mom’s scheming way of giving me back to Houston,” he said. “She’s like, ‘I found a really great place. It would be a really good bakery.’ It’s next … [Read more...] about This “Top Chef” Star Is Serving Houston’s Most Playful Pastries

Listen to this article Following the finalisation of the updated engine regulations for 2026, increasing the amount of electric power and mandating the use of efuels, F1 has been subject to fresh manufacturer interest. Audi announced last month it would enter F1 as an engine manufacturer from 2026 , while sister Volkswagen Group brand Porsche remains keen on an entry despite its planned partnership with Red Bull being scrapped after a breakdown in talks. Honda is also thought to be considering a return in 2026 after ending its works involvement last year while retaining technical ties to Red Bull. With Mercedes already on the grid, Audi incoming, Porsche interested and the Volkswagen brand no longer completing motorsport activities, it leaves BMW as the only remaining major German manufacturer. But in an interview with Motorsport.com's sister website Motorsport-Total.com, officials from BMW made clear F1 was not something on their radar. Andreas Roos, the head … [Read more...] about BMW: No current interest in entering Formula 1

Mattia Binotto has admitted Ferrari are missing the drive to succeed injected into the team by Michael Schumacher during their golden era. Ferrari dominated Formula 1 during the first half-decade of this century, capturing six consecutive Constructors’ titles from 1999-2004 while Schumacher was the Drivers’ champion in the last five of those years. They completed the double again in 2007 with Kimi Raikkonen and retained the Constructors’ crown the year after, but this season is set to be the 14th in a row without a title going to the Scuderia. It all looked like being so different when Charles Leclerc won two of this campaign’s first three races and finished a close second in the other, but that hope has unravelled with Ferrari bedevilled by a series of mistakes and reliability problems. Of course, back at the turn of the millennium, the Italian giants had one of the all-time greats in Schumacher pushing the team on – and although Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are among the … [Read more...] about Ferrari concede they are ‘missing winning mentality of Michael Schumacher era’

Circuito del Jarama, just north of Madrid, is stepping up its efforts to return to the Formula 1 calendar after an absence of 41 years and counting. Local officials appear open to the idea of hosting an additional race in the country rather than taking the Spanish Grand Prix away from Barcelona. In June, a letter was sent to Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali by Enrique Lopez, a cabinet minister for the Community of Madrid, expressing formal interest in staging a grand prix. Now it is being reported that the Jarama venue, which held the Spanish Grand Prix on 11 occasions between 1967 and 1981, is to be upgraded to make it eligible to host Formula 1 and MotoGP. Isabel Diaz Ayuso, president of the Community of Madrid, said at a press conference that attempts to procure a grand prix were not being made “to the detriment of Catalunya”, with Barcelona having a contract to host the Spanish Grand Prix through to 2026 . However, Ayuso added that while it remains “very early” in … [Read more...] about Efforts being stepped up to restore Jarama to the Formula 1 calendar
