Iba a llegar antes o después y es algo que se sabía de antemano. Muchos señalan el duelo de Lando Norris y Max Verstappen como el más importante de la temporada, y en Suzuka vivieron su primer cuerpo a cuerpo real del curso. En la distancia ya habían vivido los de las Poles y el que ganó Norris con pocas décimas de renta en Melbourne, pero ninguno con verdadero peligro hasta las paradas del Gran Premio de Japón.
Parte de la base de que adelantar es muy difícil en Suzuka. La historia dice que la carrera la gana el que sale en primera línea de parrilla o esa excepción (confirma la regla) de Kimi Raikkonen desde el fondo con el McLaren. Por lo tanto, las guerras son en boxes y en 2025 llegó a un punto interesante cuando los favoritos montaron el neumático duro.
Norris presionó a Verstappen y tras la parada pudo colocarse en paralelo al Red Bull del campeón. Salieron pegados y el McLaren terminó pisando la tierra húmeda que rodea la recta principal del circuito japonés. Un gran susto y un gran cabreo por radio, pues veía como Verstappen se salía con la suya. De nuevo.
“Me echó a la hierba”, dijo Lando. Pedía una sanción inmediata, pero esta situación no fue lo ocurrido en Austria o en México del pasado curso. Verstappen hizo lo que debía, mantuvo la posición y jamás cambió de dirección. Justo líder de la carrera pese al intento de Lando Norris. Quiso parar en la misma parada que el neerlandés y no le salió bien. “Se ha ido hacia la hierba”, cerró el 1.
Se ha ido solo hacia la hierba
Duelo Norris-Verstappen.
“Me veía a su lado en el paralelo. Estaba a su lado”, insistió Norris. Sí que consiguió una breve investigación, pero el panel de comisarios lo desestimó bastante rápido. No había nada que hablar e incluso el británico se llevó un comentario de Verstappen con un posible movimiento que roza lo legal. “Quitó el limitador antes”, repitió Max. No se valorará. Y Verstappen solo recibirá la buena noticia de ganar el primer cuerpo a cuerpo del curso. Vendrán muchos más.

2025 NFL Draft picks by college team, school: SEC, Big Ten separate from pack as Ohio State leads the way
Getty Images The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft was dominated by power conference schools, as the SEC and Big Ten were ubiquitous during Thursday night's action with 26 of the first 32 picks coming from the two most powerful conferences in the sport. That trend continued on Friday night during Day 2, as 21 more players from the SEC and Big Ten heard their names called in the 32 second-round picks. While not a surprise, it's a reminder of the direction college football is trending, as the transfer portal and the opportunity to cash in on NIL deals has made it far less likely that an NFL talent will make it through their junior year at a smaller program. In total, 66 of the 102 players selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft finished their collegiate careers […]
NFL Draft 2025: Here’s how much money Shedeur Sanders missed out on by not being drafted in first three rounds
Getty Images The story of the 2025 NFL Draft has to do with a player who hasn't even heard his name called yet. Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, was expected to be a first-round pick, but instead went unselected in the first three rounds of the draft.The Pittsburgh Steelers passed on him multiple times, while the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns all selected different quarterbacks. Every player will be given the opportunity to compete whether they are a first-round pick or seventh-round pick, but their paychecks will be very different. For example, No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward is expected to sign a deal projected to be worth $48,757,500, according to Spotrac, while Tyler Shough, who was drafted 40th […]

Getty Images Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft concluded on Friday night with Colorado's Shedeur Sanders still not selected.It was slightly surprising to see Sanders not drafted on Thursday as just two quarterbacks (Ward and Jaxson Dart) were taken in the first round. However, Day 2 brought three more quarterbacks selected: Louisville's Tyler Shough went to the Saints at No. 40 in Round 2, Alabama's Jalen Milroe was selected by the Seahawks with the 92nd pick (Round 3), and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel was taken by the Browns with the 94th pick (Round 3).Want to know what I thought of every pick made in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft?

Luke Keaschall injury: Twins’ hot-hitting rookie suffers broken forearm
Matt Krohn Minnesota Twins promising rookie infielder/outfielder Luke Keaschall suffered a nondisplaced fracture in his right forearm on Friday, the club told reporters following the Twins' 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Keaschall suffered the injury when he was struck by a pitch from Kyle Hendricks in the first inning. Keaschall, in the lineup at DH, was able to run the bases after being hit on the arm, but he was pinch-hit for when his spot came up again in the bottom of the third. According to Twins dugout reporter Audra Martin, the club does not have a timetable for Keaschall's return. That the fracture is nondisplaced is a positive, but it still figures to be a lengthy absence for the 22-year-old. According to the Baseball Prospectus injury database, recovery time for forearm fractures tends to range from a bit […]

How far will Shedeur Sanders fall in NFL Draft? Colorado QB not picked in Rounds 2 or 3 as other QBs selected
Getty Images Shedeur Sanders may believe he's the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class, but NFL teams apparently feel otherwise. After going unselected in the first round on Thursday night, Sanders was also completely overlooked in Round 2, when Louisville's Tyler Shough became the next quarterback to come off the board. Then all of Round 3 also passed without his name being called.Jalen Milroe, meanwhile, became the fourth quarterback off the board when the Seattle Seahawks drafted the Alabama star at No. 92 overall. Two picks later, the Cleveland Browns selected Oregon signal-caller Dillon Gabriel, passing on Sanders for the fourth time in the draft.Sanders' dramatic tumble came hours after CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones indicated there wasn't necessarily a strong market for the Colorado signal-caller early in Day 2, despite several quarterback-needy teams like the Cleveland […]
