Lando Norris Reacts to Losing from Pole at Belgian Grand Prix:
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Lando Norris started the Belgian Grand Prix on pole position but lost the lead to Oscar Piastri on the opening lap. Piastri then maintained his lead throughout the race despite pitting just once, and crossed the finish line on medium tires. The race at Spa-Francorchamps was delayed by nearly an hour due to heavy rain that compromised visibility. Newsweek Sports reported that the Grand Prix faced a potential cancellation due to the rain. However, with the sun having come out after the brief spell of rain, the race began under the safety car. Piastri managed his race start well and stayed right behind Norris before finding an opportunity to overtake on the Kemmel Straight. When all cars pitted for slicks once the racing line had dried considerably, Piastri switched to the medium tires while Norris opted for the hard compound. Towards the end of the race, Piastri's mediums held up well despite Norris closing the gap to him. However, a few mistakes by Norris led him to lose crucial time. There was also Norris' pit stop, which set him back by a few seconds. Third placed Lando Norris of Great Britain and McLaren and Second placed Oscar Piastri of Australia and McLaren in parc ferme during the Sprint ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de... Third placed Lando Norris of Great Britain and McLaren and Second placed Oscar Piastri of Australia and McLaren in parc ferme during the Sprint ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on July 26, 2025 in Spa, Belgium. MoreNorris could have caught up with Piastri in the last four laps of the 44-lap race, but the lock-ups and Piastri's top performance meant Norris lost out on time by the time the chequered flag was waved. Addressing the lost lead to Piastri, Norris said after the race: "Yeah, I mean, Oscar just did a good job, nothing more to say. Committed a bit more through Eau Rouge and had the slipstream and got the run, so yeah, nothing to complain of. Did a better job in the beginning, and that was it. Nothing more I could do after that point, so yes, I mean, we'd love to be up top, but Oscar deserved it today." When asked if a victory was in sight if he kept his run clean, Norris said: "Should have, would have, could have, so I'm not gonna — you know, Oscar deserved it. I'm sure I made a couple of mistakes, so if he drove a perfect race, I couldn't have won today. "So I'll review my things, but so happy for the team, another one-two. I think our first one-two here for many, many years, so nice to bring that back to the team. And a well-deserved result for them and for Oscar, too." Asked if he looked forward to next weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix at Budapest, the Briton said: "Yes, Budapest is one of the best ones for me in terms of just what I've done there in the past years, and it's where I started my Formula One career. So yeah, always good memories and, yeah, normally one that suits me a bit better than Spa, so happy with today, slightly disappointed, but of course looking forward to next week."

Cal Raleigh first to 40 home runs this season with tiebreaking shot in Mariners' 7-2 win over Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Cal Raleigh became the first player to hit 40 homers this season with a tiebreaking solo shot in the sixth inning of the Seattle Mariners' 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Raleigh hammered a 97 mph fastball from José Fermin (2-2) 416 feet into the right-field bleachers for his second homer in eight games since winning the Home Run Derby. Julio Rodríguez hit his fourth solo homer in three games at Angel Stadium, and Randy Arozarena also connected for the Mariners. George Kirby (5-5) struck out nine over six difficult innings of five-hit ball to earn his fourth win in five starts despite not matching his 14-strikeout performance at Angel Stadium last month. Kirby fanned Luis Rengifo on a slider with the bases loaded to end the sixth. Taylor Ward hit his 24th homer for the Angels, who have lost five of six. Tyler Anderson yielded six hits and two runs while pitching inefficiently into the fifth. The veteran left-hander and Angels trade candidate has a 5.66 ERA in his last four starts. Rodríguez connected in the third, adding his 18th homer of the season to his solo shot Thursday and two more in the Mariners' loss Friday. Arozarena led off the fourth with his 20th homer, reaching the milestone for the fifth consecutive season. Yoán Moncada, another Angels trade candidate, left in pain after Kirby's fastball hit him in the hand. X-rays were negative. Key moment Dominic Canzone bolstered Seattle's lead with a two-run single in the sixth after Raleigh's homer, and Jorge Polanco scored moments later on Rengifo's error at second base. Key stat Raleigh is the seventh catcher in major league history to hit 40 homers in a season. It's been done nine times overall — twice by Johnny Bench and Mike Piazza. Up next Kyle Hendricks (5-7, 4.92 ERA) pitches for Los Angeles in the series finale Sunday against Logan Gilbert (3-3, 3.07).
