Well, if we started this session believing there might be a close fight for pole position, then Oscar Piastri and McLaren may have just blown that out of the water somewhat.
Piastri ended the session half a second clear of teammate Lando Norris, who was on used tires for his best effort, and is nearly three-quarters of a second clear of Charles Leclerc in P3 for Ferrari. Max Verstappen is nearly a second off the pace for Red Bull, but as Alex highlighted, there is surely more pace in the car once it gets a fresh set of tires come qualifying. Don’t count him out just yet.
Lewis Hamilton is another driver who’ll be hoping the best is still yet to come in qualifying. He ended FP3 down in ninth place, four-tenths of a second back from Leclerc in the sister Ferrari car.
Isack Hadjar is continuing to put in solid displays for Racing Bulls, riding high from his impressive Monaco showing. He ends FP3 sixth, two-tenths clear of Liam Lawson across the garage. Home favorite Fernando Alonso will also take the positives from his run to eighth given Aston Martin’s struggle for form this year, leading to his own point-less start to the season. Reaching Q3 later has to be the target.

New York Knicks head coaching candidates: Who should replace Tom Thibodeau?
When the New York Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau Tuesday, it came as another reminder of the harsh reality of life as an NBA head coach: Teams often decide that the head coach who got them there isn’t the one to get them to the end.The Knicks made that decision after they lost to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, their longest playoff run in 25 years.

Here is, in alphabetical order, a list of potential options that could make sense, based on which coaches are currently out of a job or could make the jump from the […]

Craque Neto apresenta dura realidade a Ancelotti na seleção brasileira: “Última esperança”

ACC, Florida State, Clemson file to dismiss cases against each other
The ACC’s legal infighting is officially over after Florida State, Clemson and the ACC filed to dismiss the cases against each other Tuesday.The move formally, finally, ends more than 17 months of litigation that played out in Florida (where the Seminoles sued the ACC), South Carolina (where the Tigers sued the conference) and North Carolina (where the Charlotte-based league separately sued both schools). Both schools and the league approved the settlement’s terms in March, and Florida State’s counsel estimated the agreements would be finalized in 30 days. The whole process took almost three months, approaching a June 9 deadline in one of the Florida courts.AdvertisementThe initial settlement terms clarified issues if/when Florida State, Clemson or other ACC members moved to leave the conference. Schools, not the league, would get to keep their TV rights, which are worth hundreds of millions […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been NBA MVP-worthy, but his goals aren’t complete
It’s been a near-perfect season for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The 26-year-old led the NBA in scoring (32.7 points per game) for the league’s best team in the regular season, earned All-Star and All-NBA First Team honors and was named MVP of the regular season and the Western Conference finals.The only milestones that remain are winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy and, potentially, the NBA Finals MVP. If he pulls it off, Gilgeous-Alexander would join Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal as the only players in NBA history to win a championship, a scoring title, regular-season MVP and finals MVP in the same season.AdvertisementOn the latest episode of “The Athletic NBA Daily,” Dave DuFour and Es Baraheni explored where Gilgeous-Alexander’s season would rank among the greatest individual seasons in league history if the Oklahoma City Thunder finish the job and he takes home the […]
Diamondbacks place Corbin Burnes on 15-day IL, await further medical tests
The Arizona Diamondbacks placed pitcher Corbin Burnes on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with elbow inflammation as the team awaits further medical advice on the course of treatment. The 30-year-old righty, who signed a six-year, $210 million free-agent contract with Arizona in the offseason, exited Sunday’s start against the Washington Nationals in the top of the fifth after experiencing tightness in his throwing elbow.AdvertisementBurnes did not travel with the team on its current road trip to Atlanta, staying in Phoenix to get an MRI on Monday.“He did get the MRI. It’s still being read by several doctors,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters on Tuesday before the team’s game against the Braves. “I know he’s on his way to seeing and meeting with more doctors in person. That will happen on Thursday in L.A. (with Dr. Neal ElAttrache). But I […]
