MCLAREN STARS LANDO NORRIS, OSCAR PIASTRI PREPARE FOR FINAL PUSH TO PODIUMS

Lando Norris leads the F1 championship by 1 point over McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. With 4 races left, Norris warns that "every little thing matters" in the intense title fight, while Piastri vows his recent struggles have been a learning experience.

As a thrilling championship fight continues to develop, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris have shared their opinions on the next four races of the 2025 season.

"The most significant thing, in my opinion, is that I feel like I have learned a few new things that will ultimately help me in the future."
Piastri's slip-up has caused his teammate to overtake him at the top of the standings, and the 104-point gap he previously had over Max Verstappen is now only 35 points.

Following consecutive fifth-place results at the United States and Mexico City Grands Prix, the Australian has lost his hold on the championship and is still looking for his first victory since the Dutch Grand Prix.

In McLaren's X debrief, Piastri stated, "I believe for me the previous couple of weekends have clearly been some speed bumps in the way."

"However, I believe the most significant thing is that I feel like I have learned a few new skills that will ultimately benefit me not only this year but, hopefully, the remainder of my career.

There may be some setbacks along the way, but I believe there will be many adjustments, and once I know what I want and what I want to aim for, I should be able to get there fast. It only took a short while to arrive.

With four races left in the 2025 season, Norris now leads his colleague by one point following those two P5 results in as many races.

Norris is intent on the last four races.


For the first time since the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Norris regained the top spot in the drivers' standings with his commanding victory in the Mexico City Grand Prix.

Now that there are only four Grand Prix weekends left, including two sprint race weekends, the British driver is totally focused on making the most of every opportunity because he knows that any mistakes will be penalised in what is quickly becoming a thrilling title fight.

"One tenth can put us, theoretically, on pole or fifth, sixth, whatever it could be, for the remainder of the season," Norris clarified.

"You can be nearly out in Q1 or Q2 simply by being one or two hundredths off, because sometimes it is much closer in Q1 and Q2 than it is in Q3.

"So, even though you might not think that small things will have an impact at the moment, I believe that toward the end of the season, when you really go over all of these little things together, they can occasionally have a significant impact.

"That can get you a championship, a constructor's title, and two or three spots at the conclusion of the season. It serves as a simple reminder that every little thing matters, and I believe that we must continue to fight for those small things.

KIM KARDASHIAN AND LEWIS HAMILTON SPOTTED ON ROMANTIC EUROPEAN TOUR TOGETHER

Kim Kardashian and F1 star Lewis Hamilton are turning heads across Europe as insiders reveal Kim's "Russell Wilson" nickname.

Kim and Lewis Hamilton spark a fly in London and Paris sightings

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are the latest celebrity duo making waves, and apparently, Kim’s already got a cheeky nickname for him. The two have been spotted out together in the Cotswolds, London, and Paris, just enjoying themselves and turning a few heads in the process.

Word is, Kim’s close friends are spilling a few details about this new romance. One insider claims Lewis isn’t looking to settle down right now, but Kim still has a special name for him—she calls him “her Russell Wilson”. If you know the reference, it’s a nod to NFL star Russell Wilson, who married singer Ciara after her high-profile breakup with rapper Future. Friends say Kim thinks of Lewis as a “sophisticated upgrade” from her ex, Kanye West.

Kim and Kanye—now legally known as Ye—were married from 2014 to 2021 and share four kids. Their co-parenting relationship is famously complicated.

Kim’s reportedly a bit anxious about how Kanye will react to her new thing with Lewis, considering Kanye and Lewis were friends back in the day. One source told the Mail, “They’re both cautious about Kanye’s feelings since he and Lewis go way back. Kim’s living for herself these days, but she doesn’t want to poke the bear. They know this could set Kanye off, so they’re keeping it light and just having fun for now.”

Kim and Lewis first crossed paths years ago at GQ’s 2014 Men of the Year Awards. Back then, they both showed up with their now-exes—Kim was with Ye, and Lewis was with Nicole Scherzinger.

Kanye even had Lewis over for Easter one year. He talked about it: “Lewis Hamilton’s over at my house, and we’re playing some music in my studio. We’re having Easter brunch—my wife’s family, my friends, everyone’s there. And everybody’s like, ‘What is this music?’ and I’m like, ‘It’s Lewis Hamilton’s music.’”

Since splitting from Ye, Kim’s dated Pete Davidson and moved on. Kanye’s remarried, too—this time to Australian architect Bianca Censori.

Those two have been in the headlines a lot, usually for their wild fashion choices. Things got especially wild when Bianca showed up at the Grammy Awards in a see-through gown. She arrived in a black fur coat but ditched it to reveal a sheer dress that left little to the imagination. People at the event were definitely stunned.

FERRARI SF-26 COMPLETES 121 LAPS IN HISTORIC LEWIS HAMILTON-LECLERC BARCELONA DEBUT

Lewis Hamilton delivers first verdict on Ferrari SF-26 after "challenging" rain

Ferrari kicked off its on-track work for the 2026 Formula One season with a steady first day at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc split driving duties in the team’s bold new car, and the whole thing felt like the start of a new chapter.

With the 2026 rules shaking up both the chassis and the power unit, Ferrari didn’t chase lap times. They zeroed in on checking systems, making sure their data lined up, and ironing out any reliability kinks. The weather threw a few curveballs—rain, some dry patches—but even so, they got through their plan and stacked up plenty of laps.

Leclerc seemed upbeat after his first taste of the new machine. He said it felt good to get back behind the wheel and start figuring out the car, even if the focus was just on systems and not raw speed. “We came here to understand how everything works,” he said. “With the weather mixed up, today was all about checks. We finished what we set out to do, and the car did what we expected. It’s a solid start and a decent base.”

Hamilton, now officially in Ferrari red, felt the same. For him, it was a busy day—lots of on-track time, plenty of new things to get used to—but he called it productive. “We got good mileage, learnt a lot, and didn’t hit any big issues. That’s what matters with so many changes coming in. This gives us a strong platform for the next few days.”

Ferrari’s Head of Track Engineering, Matteo Togninalli, stressed how important it was just to get through the day cleanly. “Given the conditions, it went well for us,” he said. Rain or not, they racked up the laps and—most importantly—avoided any real reliability problems. That’s the top priority when you’re shaking down a brand-new car and engine.

Performance talk? Still way too early for that. Right now, Ferrari’s just learning how this new car behaves, gathering data, and building up bit by bit as the days go on—keeping their focus squarely on themselves.
