McLaren locks out the front row for the F1 Sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix
Friday was a bitter day for McLaren during qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix.
Saturday’s F1 Sprint Shootout was a much different story.
A day after both drivers saw lap times get deleted for exceeding track limits — dropping Lando Norris out of second place and Oscar Piastri out of third — the two took to the track for the F1 Sprint Shootout to set the grid for the F1 Sprint race later in the day.
And topped the field.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is off to a blazing start to the season, even garnering some Heisman Trophy consideration through five games. However, that level of production also has come with criticism, as one anonymous Pac-12 coach accused Sanders of padding his statistics at the expense of the team.
“I think they want to rack up some stats for Shedeur. He really holds on to the ball a long time. I think he takes sacks because he doesn’t want to affect his completion percentage,” a Pac-12 assistant coach told The Athletic earlier this week.
The NASCAR Cup Series playoff field will be cut from 12 to eight this weekend as the tour shifts to the treacherous Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval.
Baker Mayfield, you’re not alone. Tampa Bay’s fiery quarterback spoke Friday on why he was unceremoniously dealt from Cleveland, a team that selected him first overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.
His opinion of the situation is as muddled as the rest of ours.
Following stops in Carolina and Los Angeles, Mayfield’s landed – and succeeded – in Tampa Bay. The Bucs are 3-1 in large part because of Mayfield who’s completing a career-best 69.6% of his passes while posting the best quarterback rating of his career.

The Andretti-Cadillac bid was a heated topic of discussion at Friday’s press conferences
On Thursday, the current Formula 1 drivers were given the chance to weigh in on the prospective addition of an 11th team — the Andretti-Cadillac bid — to the grid. For the most part, the drivers were largely diplomatic in their responses.
Friday saw team bosses take to the couch, and those that addressed the topic were hardly diplomatic at all.
It’s been nearly a decade since Malcolm Butler picked off Russell Wilson to seal Super Bowl XLIX, but people still talk about the Seahawks’ decision to throw the ball at the 1-yard line instead of giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch. Even some of the players involved still don’t seem to have gotten over what happened in the game.
While appearing on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay program in an episode released Thursday, Lynch explained what transpired in that fateful moment, including his laughing in Pete Carroll’s face on the sideline.
Baseball fans are in for a treat when the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies begin their best-of-five NL Divisional Series this afternoon.
The two franchises have been around for more than 100 years and the rivalry has only grown more heated as both teams have gotten much better in recent years. The Braves won last year’s World Series and the Phillies lost the Series in 2021.
Not only are the two teams ready to battle it out, so too are their mascots, Blooper and the Phillie Phanatic. Both are notoriously known for their trolling antics.
Mike Gundy was feeling himself Friday night after Oklahoma State beat Kansas State.
The Cowboys started the season 2-2 with a blowout loss to South Alabama and a seven point loss to Iowa State. Fans were certainly already voicing frustrations after the first four games of the 2023 campaign.
Well, Gundy and Oklahoma State took care of business Friday night with a 29-21 victory over the Wildcats, and the program’s head coach had himself a good time in the locker room.
He busted out some dance moves and then hit the team with a handstand. Check out the awesome locker room moment below.
With Aaron Rodgers done for the rest of the season (according to everyone but him) New York Jets fans were at least able to fall back on the fact that their defense was still one of the league’s best.
However, even with a top-5 defense, the Jets still wound up with a 1-3 record so far. And it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
During the team’s media presser on Friday, Jets head coach Robert Saleh announced that the team would be without cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Brandin Nichols, which means that seldom-used backup Bryce Hall will have to go up against a strong Broncos receiving corps.
Johnny Manziel did his best to inject the Texas A&M Aggies with a little fire ahead of playing Alabama.
The Aggies and Crimson Tide will battle it out on the field today in College Station, and a lot of people seem to think Nick Saban and his team are going down. In fact, it feels like virtually everyone has already declared Texas A&M the winner.
Remember, folks, we play the game for a reason. Nothing is decided until the clock hits zero.
Johnny Manziel narrated a hype video for Texas A&M ahead of the Alabama game.
