Race officials have denied McLaren’s right of review regarding the penalty handed down to Lando Norris at the United States Grand Prix
Almost a week after the checkered flag flew, the United States Grand Prix is officially over.
McLaren filed a “right of appeal” regarding a five-second penalty handed down to Lando Norris in the closing act of the race in Austin, seeking the appeal of the penalty which cost Norris third place in the United States Grand Prix, and promoted Max Verstappen to third in his place.

The 2024 World Series is expected to be one of the most evenly matched of any in recent memory. The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees have star power, depth, and quality pitching. In a series this close, both teams are looking for any possible advantage. Like, for example, being able to use one of baseball’s best hitters as a pitcher too.

Indiana Fever star and reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark spent most of her debut season absolutely blowing minds on the court, but why wait until next season to do it again?
After an early playoff exit for the Fever, Clark took some time off, per Sports Illustrated, but she has been back on the court recently.
Clark got a workout in on a practice court in the Fever’s home arena, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and she did something that I would be confident in saying that court has never seen before.

We recently got looks at the jerseys players will be throwing on for the NHL’s new best-on-best international tournament, the 4 Nations Face-Off, and now, a lot of the talk will be about who ends up on the roster for teams representing the US, Canada, Sweden, and Finland.
Of course, some big names like Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid are shoo-ins to make the Team Canada roster, but then the question turns to who will serve as the team’s captain.

Thursday Night’s game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams ended in a win for Los Angeles in part because of a missed call on an obvious face mask. Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was tackled in the end zone, pulled down by his face mask, and despite an official seemingly staring directly at the play, it was ruled a game-ending safety.

It doesn’t get much worse than that in terms of missed penalties.

Power unit problems are making for nervous times at Red Bull ahead of the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix
Max Verstappen notched a third-place finish in last week’s Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. While the result was fraught with controversy — Verstappen benefited from a five-second handed down to his rival in the Drivers’ Championship, Lando Norris, which McLaren has since requested a “right of review” — the result allowed Verstappen to outscore his rival for the first time since the Belgian Grand Prix.
