Lando Norris under fire for sexist Twitch comment after Hungarian Grand Prix win
Formula 1 star Lando Norris is facing backlash after making a sexist remark during a Twitch stream, sparking disappointment from fans who previously praised him for his feminist stance. The controversy follows his recent victory at the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix, adding to the public scrutiny.
The comment came during a stream hosted by British motorsport driver Max Fewtrell, where Norris, using a private account under the handle "undercoverbobinski", remarked in the chat, 'they in the right part of the house tbh,' referring to Fewtrell's girlfriend and her friend being in the kitchen. A screenshot of the message quickly went viral, prompting widespread criticism. Many users labeled the comment as misogynistic and out of step with Norris's previously progressive image.

Fans expressed outrage online. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, 'Lando Norris talking about how women should be in the kitchen… brother, you're about to deliver a generational stinker so bad you'll be flipping burgers too.'

I wonder how his deranged fans are gonna make him the victim in this situation too 💀 pic.twitter.com/xtmM92ppij — TMIS🤸🏻♀️P1A8TRI (@wellidunnomaybe) August 3, 2025
The controversy emerged just after Norris's win at the Hungarian Grand Prix on August 3, where he held off teammate Oscar Piastri to secure first place for McLaren. The victory was seen as a highlight of his 2025 season, but the timing of the controversy has overshadowed the celebration.
As of now, Norris has not issued a public response. Fans remain divided, with many questioning the authenticity of his previously held image as one of the more progressive figures in Formula 1.

Lewis Hamilton calls himself useless after early qualifying exit at Hungarian Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton appeared visibly dejected after failing to advance beyond Q2 during qualifying for the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion qualified 12th, while his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc secured pole position. Following a difficult Friday, Hamilton admitted he was 'quite far off' the pace. There were signs of promise in FP3 where he finished fourth, closely behind Leclerc. However, hopes of a recovery faded during the all-important qualifying session. Over the radio, Hamilton sighed, 'every time, every time,' as his session came to an end in Q2. In a post-qualifying interview with Sky Sports F1, Hamilton expressed his frustration bluntly, saying, 'I'm useless, absolutely useless.' When asked if he had answers for his struggles, Hamilton added, 'The team, they have no problem – you've seen the car is on pole. So, they probably need to change driver.' Speaking separately to F1 TV, Hamilton stood by his comments, stating, 'It clearly is. I drove terribly. It is what it is,' despite reassurances from the interviewer that his performance couldn't overshadow his career achievements. This marks Hamilton's second consecutive early exit in qualifying, following a Q1 elimination at the Belgian Grand Prix. Despite that setback, he recovered to finish seventh in the race and earned Driver of the Day honors. As Ferrari continues refining the SF-25, questions about Hamilton's adaptation to the car persist heading into the second half of the season.

Tottenham's Son bids emotional farewell in South Korea, Maddison suffers knee injury
SEOUL: Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min played what is expected to be his final match for the club in front of 64,773 fans at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday, and teammate James Maddison was carried off with a knee injury. The 33-year-old Son, who is under contract until 2026, is set to leave Spurs after a decade. He led Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years with their win over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May. Sunday's friendly against Newcastle United ended 1-1, with Spurs forward Brennan Johnson scoring in the fourth minute and Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes equalising in the 38th. Son was substituted off in the 65th minute for new signing Mohammed Kudus. Son received a guard of honour from both Spurs and Newcastle players, along with a warm ovation from the crowd, as he bade a teary farewell. He is expected to stay in South Korea while the rest of the Spurs players fly to London. 'At first, I really didn't think I was going to cry. But obviously, it is not easy leaving a team I've spent so much time with,' Son said. 'And hearing from all these players made me really emotional. I've had an unforgettable day thanks to all the fans, my teammates and my opponents. I feel so happy that I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight. Lionel Messi exits Leagues Cup match with apparent leg injury 'My career is not over yet, and I want to continue to bring (the fans) joy. I know I have more things I want to accomplish as a football player.' Son joined the north London club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and though he did not disclose his next destination, British media have linked him with a move to Major League Soccer club Los Angeles FC. 'Unbelievable scenes for Son from his teammates and the respect from the Newcastle players,' Spurs manager Thomas Frank said. 'First we had the walkaround and then the teammates gathered around and he was emotional. In the changing room it was more of the same… It was beautiful.' Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said, 'The reaction was instinctive from my players. It's not just his talent but the way he has carried himself over the years. I think he's seen as one of the game's great Premier League players.' Maddison came on in the 75th minute but went down off the ball, clutching his knee, and appeared to be in considerable discomfort. The 28-year-old England international was taken off on a stretcher around the 86th minute. 'We're pretty sure it was the same knee he injured before. I think sometimes in life and football things can be both beautiful and brutal,' Frank said. Maddison suffered an injury to the same knee in May and missed the final part of last season. The club later announced the loan signing of midfielder Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich. The 30-year-old, who previously played in the Premier League for Fulham, joins until the end of next season with an option to make the move permanent.
