May 4, 2025; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Fans react while watching a race during the F1 Miami Grand Prix at Miami International Autodrome. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — McLaren Racing’s Oscar Piastri claimed his series-best and career-high fourth victory of the season in Sunday’s Formula One CRYPTO.com Miami Grand Prix, the Australian surging forward from a fourth-place start to the lead by lap 15 and holding off his teammate, 2024 Miami race winner Lando Norris by 4.630 seconds.
Overcast skies and a perennial threat of rain in a normally sunny month of May in South Florida never dampened the competition or the mood from the fans. Piastri made his race-winning move around pole-winner and two-time Miami winner Max Verstappen on Lap 15 of the 57-lap race at the Miami International Autodrome. After exchanging positions three times in three laps, Norris finally got around Verstappen too and raced off to chase his teammate, ultimately claiming second.
Mercedes AMG driver George Russell finished third to complete the Miami podium, passing Verstappen during a pit stop exchange on Lap 27 and holding off the four-time and reigning F1 champion in the remaining laps.
“At the end of the race when you have to keep Max behind you, it’s never easy,” Russell conceded.
Piastri’s victory — the sixth of his career — marks the first time in 28 years that a McLaren Racing driver has won three consecutive races — two-time world champion Mika Hakkinen last doing so for the team back in 1997-98. Most importantly, Piastri extended his championship lead to 16 points over Norris heading into the next race, May 16-18 at the Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna in Italy.
“To come away with a win Sunday is an impressive result,” Piastri said, noting his runner-up in Saturday’s sprint race. “Once I knew we had a good pace and advantage, the car’s pace was incredible today.”
McLaren becomes the first team to finish 1-2 in a sprint and grand prix doubleheader weekend and team principal American Zak Brown celebrated the work of his two 24-year-old drivers with a selfie on pit road after they climbed out of their cars.
The race was spirited from green to checkered flag — at times including fierce racing among teammates. Ferrari drivers Charles LeClerc and Lewis Hamilton exchanged positions throughout the closing laps, ultimately finishing seventh and eighth. The Williams Racing team with drivers Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz scored 17 points Sunday after the team earned only a total of 14 points in the entire 2024 season. Albon finished a season-best fifth and Sainz was ninth.

Rafael Devers goes 0-for-5 in first game vs. Red Sox since blockbuster trade
When the Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, they did it knowing they would be facing their disgruntled former player in just five days. That game arrived on Friday.Taking the field only as a designated hitter, but with first base in his future, Devers failed to make his old team pay, going 0-for-5 at the plate in a 7-5 loss. He did receive a nice ovation before his first at-bat, though.Devers' hitless night wasn't for lack of balls in play. He managed to lift a ball to the left-field wall in the third inning, but was robbed of an extra-base hit by former teammate Ceddane Rafaela.Devers finished his night with his lone strikeout, swinging and missing at a 102-mph fastball from Aroldis Chapman. He is now 3-for-16 with one double four games into his Giants […]
Arch Manning’s Texas Longhorns predicted to win national championship and their opponent might surprise you
If you look at preseason rankings, odds are the Texas Longhorns will show up within the first two or three teams. Following a season in which Steve Sarkisian guided his team to the College Football Playoff semifinals, many expect him to one-up himself and go even farther in 2025.The reason for so much optimism is Arch Manning, the talented quarterback who many fans wanted to start ahead of Quinn Ewers for much of last season. Fans will finally get their wish this year, and Manning must deliver. If he does, Texas might make it back to a National Championship for the first time since 2010. The experts certainly think it's possible, if not probable.Arch Manning causes chaos at Texas campus as students scramble to stop himCould Texas vs. Penn State be the National Championship game for the 2025 season?Athlon Sports […]

Jsem od přírody líný, běhání mi nechybí. Na podzim se ale znovu postavím na start, říká Pavel Maslák
Trojnásobný mistr Evropy (2013, 2015, 2017) i světa (2014, 2016, 2018) na 400 metrů v hale, mistr Evropy pod širým nebem (2012) na stejnou vzdálenost a český rekordman v běhu na 200, 300, 400 i 500 metrů přitom původně plánoval, že v těchto dnech bude v plné přípravě na své sedmé mistrovství světa. To se letos v září koná v japonském Tokiu a Maslák se chtěl se skvělou kariérou loučit právě tam. Bolesti nohy jeho úmysly ale převrátily vzhůru nohama a loni v říjnu Maslák oznámil, že s vrcholovou atletikou definitivně končí.„Chtěl jsem si v Tokiu zazávodit s diváky, což se mi nepovedlo, protože na olympiádě v roce 2021 byly tribuny kvůli covidovým restrikcím prázdné. Z toho pohledu mě to, že to už nezažiju, mrzí. Ale osud to chtěl takhle a myslím si, že se všechno stalo tak, jak se to stát mělo. Navíc ani nevím, zda bych tam dokázal předvést nějaký super výsledek. Budu našim atletům držet pěsti, ať je jich […]

Svůj jsem byl na hřišti, svůj jsem i jako trenér, přiznává bývalý reprezentant Štajner
Už jste si zvykl na oslovení hlavní trenér?(usměje se) Zvykl. Byl jsem dlouho asistentem v České Lípě a teď jsem přešel do této pozice. Určitě mám větší zodpovědnost, než když jsem byl asistent. Ale baví mě to. Práce s kluky je fajn.Chtěl jste být vždy po skončení kariéry trenérem? Upřímně, u vás bych to dříve moc netipoval.(směje se) Chtěl jsem zůstat u fotbalu, to je jasné. Fotbal mám rád, a jak jsem pomalu končil s hraním v České Lípě, postupně jsem přecházel do role asistenta a poznával, jak to funguje. V září mě oslovil Turnov a během dvou dnů se to upeklo. Musím říct, že jak jsem do toho spadl, tak ty věci okolo nejsou úplně jednoduché. Ale myslím, že to nějakým způsobem zvládám. V Turnově budu pokračovat i příští rok.Co vám přijde nejtěžší?Asi mít vůbec hráče na zápas. (směje se) Když jsme první roky hráli v České Lípě divizi, tak tréninková docházka taky […]
