A P5 for Lewis Hamilton and a P4 for George Russell has Mercedes feeling optimistic
It took a penalty for Aston Martin and Fernando Alonso, but Mercedes notched their first podium of the 2023 Formula 1 season in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and the team now sits tied with Aston Martin in the Constructors’ Championship.
That success has certainly changed the mood around the Silver Arrows, who now look ahead to the Australian Grand Prix wondering if they can not just separate from Ferrari and Aston Martin, but push even closer to Red Bull.

Fernando Alonso finished third, then he didn’t, and then he did again

GREENSBORO- An arena full of Kentucky blue couldn’t will the Wildcats to a win on Sunday afternoon, with Kansas State sending them home on the first weekend, again. The chants of ‘Go Big Blue’ weren’t enough to carry this Kentucky team to the Sweet-Sixteen, as Keyontae Johnson delivered a dagger with 1:23 remaining.
The Kansas State crowd, tiny compared to BBN, started their own chants with :39 seconds remaining, sending Kentucky fans headed for the exits. If you were a fan of college basketball, this game certainly delivered, with eight lead changes in the second half alone.

Cooks goes from a No. 1 receiver in Houston to the second option in Dallas, but his presence is good news for Dak Prescott.
The Dallas Cowboys have acquired veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks for a 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2024 sixth-round pick, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. Cooks will move on to a much better offensive attack, but I wouldn’t expect an increase in terms of his overall fantasy football draft value in 2023.
Cooks was the top option in the Texans’ pass attack over the last three years.

Kansas State guard Markquis Nowell turned in one of the best performances of the NCAA tournament in a heart-stopping 75-69 win over Kentucky.

The coveted free-agent receiver has been linked to Dallas since late last year.
On the heels of the Cowboys‘s reported trade for Texans receiver Brandin Cooks, the prospect of Dallas adding Odell Beckham Jr. to its receiving corps has reportedly taken a big hit.
The Cowboys, who have long been linked to the coveted free agent, are now believed to “likely” be out of the competition for Beckham following the Cooks trade, according to ESPN’s Ed Werder, per an informed source.
“Hard to do Cooks and OBJ,” the source said, per Werder.

During the third quarter of Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals, Pierce contested a shot from Kobe Bryant and crashed to the floor after tripping over Kendrick Perkins. The Celtics forward fell hard on his knee.
Pierce stayed down for awhile and grabbed his knee in pain before eventually being taken off of the court in a wheelchair.
