Verstappen si v závodě vedl dobře, bojoval o pódiové umístění, a chvílemi dokonce vedl. Jeho tým se rozhodl pro třízastávkovou strategii. Ta se vyplácela až do výjezdu safety caru kvůli odstavení mercedesu Andrey Kimiho Antonelliho. Bezpečnostní vozidlo totiž umožnilo další výměnu pneumatik, tentokrát bez větších následků.
Verstappen přezul na tvrdou směs gum s nízkou přilnavostí a to se nevyplatilo. Po restartu se dostal do kontaktu s Charlesem Leclercem a později i s Georgem Russellem. Tomu pak měl podle nařízení stáje přenechat pozici. Při tomto manévru ale došlo k další kolizi, po níž Verstappen dostal desetisekundovou penalizaci a tři trestné body na superlicenci.
Prvotní reakce Verstappena byla podrážděná, nechtěl se o nehodě bavit a opíral se do Russella i jezdeckých standardů. Vypadá to ale, že přes noc vychladl, a zveřejnil omluvu.
„V Barceloně jsme odjeli dobrý závod s dobře zvolenou strategií. Tu bohužel narušil safety car. Volba pneumatik na závěrečná kola a některé manévry po restartu přiživily mou frustraci. Ta vedla k manévru, který nebyl správný a neměl se stát. Vždycky se do závodů snažím dát všechno, a jsou proto plné emocí. Dělám to pro tým, společně vyhráváme a společně i prohráváme. Uvidíme se v Montrealu,“ stojí v jeho prohlášení.
Podle šéfa týmu Christiana Hornera se navíc Verstappen interně omluvil za svůj manévr i týmu. On sám dobře ví, že kdyby ke kolizi nedošlo, získal by pro sebe i pro tým víc mistrovských bodů. Takto skončil na desátém místě s jedním bodem.
„Výsledek závodu je pro Maxe i pro nás frustrující, protože to dlouho vypadalo na snadné pódium pro Maxe a velký přísun bodů. Max se během hodnocení závodu týmu omluvil za svůj incident s Russellem,“ uvedl ve své zprávě na sociálních sítích Horner.

2025 U.S. Open odds, predictions, free picks: Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay among longshots to back

Both have won a major in the last 12 months, with Schauffele taking the 2024 Open Championship and Scheffler coming off his victory at the PGA Championship. Despite being listed among the top-five betting favorites, their 2025 U.S. Open odds are drastically different, with Scheffler as the +280 favorite and Schauffele at +2200 to win the U.S. Open 2025 from Oakmont Country Club starting on Thursday.If you're looking for 2025 U.S. Open sleepers, a longshot like Tyrrell Hatton could be your best option for online sports betting.

Cowboys stars Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs arrive at team facility, expected to attend minicamp
Getty Images Two notable members of the Dallas Cowboys arrived at the team's facility a day before the start of mandatory minicamp. All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons and former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs were back at The Star on Monday, and the expectation is that both players will be in the attendance for the start of minicamp. While expected (Parsons himself recently said that he would be at minicamp), Parsons' presence is nonetheless significant because of his contract situation. While he is expected to sign a longterm deal at some point this offseason, Parsons, at this point, is still slated to play under his fifth-year option that was picked up by the team last spring. Despite that, Parsons participated in a portion of the team's OTAs. Diggs' arrival at The Star was also financially motivated, albeit in a different way. His contract stipulates […]
2025 U.S. Open expert picks, bets, odds, sleepers: Golf insider ducking Rory McIlroy at Oakmont Country Club
The 2025 U.S. Open tees off Thursday, when defending champion Bryson DeChambeau will attempt to do what's only been done once in the last 35 years. Brooks Koepka (2017-18) is the only back-to-back U.S. Open champion since 1989, but DeChambeau has proven he has what it takes to compete with the world's best players. He secured a T-5 finish at the Masters in April and recorded a T-2 finish at the PGA Championship in May. The U.S. Open 2025 will be held at Oakmont Country Club. DeChambeau is going off at +700 to repeat, according to the latest 2025 U.S. Open odds. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, is the +280 favorite on the PGA odds board, followed by DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy (+1100), Jon Rahm (+1200), and Xander Schauffele (+2200). Before making any 2025 U.S. Open picks, […]
Fantasy Baseball: Roman Anthony is here and under more pressure to perform than most prospect call-ups
You don't need me to tell you Roman Anthony is good. From the moment Roki Sasaki exhausted his rookie eligibility, Anthony has been the consensus top prospect in baseball (and probably should have been before then, to be honest). So now that he's been called up, officially joining the Red Sox on Monday, what am I going to tell you to do? Pick him up? He's already rostered in 82 percent of CBS Sports leagues. We've been counting down to this day for months now. Clearly, he hasn't done anything to diminish his stock in 2025. This stat line paints a nice enough picture: But it doesn't tell the whole story. Anthony's 95.0 mph average exit velocity at Triple-A would rank fourth among all major-leaguers -- behind the big three of Oneil Cruz, Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge -- and […]
2025 U.S. Open odds, picks: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy predictions by model that knew Masters, PGA
The third major of the PGA Tour season is on the horizon, with the 2025 U.S. Open teeing off Thursday, June 12 at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. The top two players in the Official World Golf Ranking, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, headline the 2025 US Open field. Both players have won majors this season, McIlroy at the Masters and Scheffler at the PGA Championship. Scheffler is the betting favorite at +280 (risk $100 to win $320) in the latest 2025 U.S. Open odds, while McIlroy is +1100. Should you back Scheffler or McIlroy when making 2025 U.S. Open predictions? Would it instead make sense to target other top 2025 U.S. Open contenders in the field like Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele, or Ludvig Aberg?
