Daniel Ricciardo’s return to Formula 1 has hit an unfortunate snag with news that he will not take part in the Dutch Grand Prix due to a broken wrist.
AlphaTauri will replace Ricciardo with Liam Lawson, who will make his F1 debut in Sunday’s Grand Prix.
The incident happened during Free Practice 2 at Zandvoort’s banked Turn 3. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri (who replaced Ricciardo on the team.

OK, that’s not something that will ever come close to happening, but thanks to the great Pitching Ninja on X, which used to be known as a thing called Twitter, we can see what it looks like when two pitchers fire 100-mph fastballs at the same time.
This mashup video below of Miami’s Eury Pérez and Atlanta’s Spencer Strider doing just that is so mesmerizing.
The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation refuses to back down after facing backlash for his behavior during the FIFA Women’s World Cup Final.
Luis Rubiales kissed striker Jennifer Hermoso on the lips following Spain’s 1-0 victory over England. While he initially apologized, the soccer exec is now doubling down — calling the kiss mutual and consensual.
“My desire in that moment was exactly the same as if I’d have been kissing one of my daughters,” Rubiales said Friday, according to ESPN. “No more or less. Everybody understands that.

Welcome back from holiday Sergio
One certainly hopes that Sergio Pérez enjoyed his summer shutdown away from the rigors of Formula 1.
Because his return to the grid has been rather rocky, thanks to Red Bull Senior Advisor Dr. Helmut Marko.
First came reports from Austrian outlet Kleine Zeitung that quoted Marko as saying that nothing in F1 is guaranteed, including Pérez’s seat with Red Bull for the 2024 campaign. “Nothing is 100 percent certain in Formula 1, it just doesn’t exist,” said the Red Bull advisor.
The 2023 Sports Illustrated Invitational Experts League draft was held on Aug. 18.
