Piastri accepts F1 title chase looks like a two-horse race
BUDAPEST :Formula One championship leader Oscar Piastri accepted on Thursday that the title race was now effectively between him and McLaren teammate Lando Norris. The Australian leads Norris by 16 points ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, the last race before the sport's August break. Red Bull's four-times champion Max Verstappen is third overall, a hefty 81 points off the lead with 11 races remaining - a seemingly insurmountable margin given McLaren's current dominance. "I suppose so," Piastri told reporters when asked if it was now a two-horse race. Previously he and Norris, as well as McLaren bosses, have said it was too early to talk of such domination but the evidence is becoming hard to play down now. "Every weekend now, or the last few weekends anyway, it has been Lando and I. I expect our competition to still be strong and put up a good fight, especially at certain tracks through the rest of the year," said Piastri. "Whether that comes from Max or Ferrari or Mercedes or someone else, we never really know. I'm not too concerned about what happens in that. I'm just trying to win each race and extend the lead." Piastri took his first win in Formula One at the Hungaroring last year, while Norris was on pole. McLaren have had six one-two finishes in 13 races, with Piastri winning six times so far and Norris four. Verstappen has had two victories. The team have scored 516 points and are already a mighty 268 points clear of second-placed Ferrari. "Hungary has been historically a good track for us as a team, certainly the two years I've been with the team. I expect us to be strong again this weekend," said Piastri. The 24-year-old said he had full confidence in himself to come out on top by the end of the year. "Not every weekend has been perfect, but there's not many weekends in my whole life that have been perfect," he said. "Just trying to put together a solid, consistent year is ultimately going to be important. The pace in the last few weekends, especially Spa, I've been very confident in and very proud of.

Begiristain leaves role as Manchester City Director of Football
Manchester City Director of Football Txiki Begiristain has left the Premier League outfit after 13 years and will be succeeded by Sporting's Hugo Viana, the club announced on Thursday. The 60-year-old Spaniard has been a major part of a trophy-laden period for City during which they won seven Premier League titles, two FA Cups, a Champions League and a Club World Cup. Begiristain previously served as Barcelona's Director of Football for seven years until 2010. His departure from the Etihad has raised questions about manager Pep Guardiola's future at the club. Begiristain and Guardiola have worked closely together at City. The 54-year-old Guardiola's current contract ends after this season and the Spaniard's plans remain uncertain.

Gill run out leaves India flailing in key final test against England
Cricket - International Test Match Series - Fifth Test - England v India - Kia Oval, London, Britain - July 31, 2025 India's Shubman Gill looks dejected as he walks after losing his wicket Action Images via Reuters/Paul Childs LONDON - The rain-hit first day of the final England-India test saw only six overs bowled between lunch and tea on Thursday but that was enough for visiting captain Shubman Gill to throw away his wicket with a crazy run-out to swing the series further in the home side's favour. India, needing victory at The Oval to square the series, reached tea on 85-3, but with their two most prolific batsmen already out, and with England's seamers itching for another crack on a wet wicket having failed to take full advantage earlier on, the odds are stacking against the tourists. The overcast morning conditions had looked ideal for England's all-seam attack, even without injured captain Ben Stokes or rested paceman Jofra Archer, but though they looked lively, the Indian batters were only occasionally troubled. Recalled Gus Atkinson was England's sharpest bowler and he struck in the fifth over, trapping Yashasvi Jaiswal LBW as stand-in captain Ollie Pope finally got on the right side of a DRS review after 14 unsuccessful appeals last year. KL Rahul, with over 500 runs to his name from the first four matches, looked relatively untroubled before playing-on while trying to cut Chris Woakes to depart for 14. At 38-2, England and a packed Oval crowd sensed an opportunity but Sai Sudharsan, who had been initially very watchful, started to time the ball well as India reached lunch on 72-2 with Gill, averaging over 90 from his previous 722 runs in the series, also looking comfortable. A heavy shower that caught out the ground staff created more difficult conditions for the tourists in a delayed afternoon session. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

The captain, who had looked unmovable while notching four centuries in the previous four matches, inexplicably set off for a non-existent single and was run out by three yards as bowler Atkinson had time to transfer the ball to his right hand before throwing down the stumps. Gill had started the day with all sorts of records in his sights but achieved only a couple as his tally of 743 took him beyond West Indies' Garfield Sobers (722 in 1966) as the highest-scoring visiting captain and also moved him into the top nine for the most runs scored in a series in England - either for or against the hosts. Of more significance was the dismissal's potential impact on India's hopes of saving the series as the two men who had contributed more than 1,200 of their runs between them were back in the dressing room with only 83 on the board. Gill's moment of madness seemed even more bizarre given the state of the game on Thursday when quick singles were the last thing India needed. Another shower took the players off minutes later and tea was taken early with the covers still on. REUTERS
