Norris holds off Piastri to win Hungary Grand Prix
Norris holds off Piastri to win Hungary Grand Prix McLaren's Lando Norris celebrates on the podium with the trophy after winning the Hungarian Grand Prix. Photo: Reuters Lando Norris trimmed McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri's lead in the drivers' world championship to just nine points on Sunday when he switched tactics to lead him home by just 0.698 seconds in a thrilling finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The 25-year-old Briton, who moved from a two-stop strategy to one stop, held off series leader Piastri, on fresher tyres, over the closing laps of a strategic contest to claim McLaren's 200th victory and their record 13th win in Hungary. It was Norris's first win at the Hungaroring in the event's 40th race, avenging his 'team orders' defeat in 2024 when Piastri claimed his maiden success, his fifth victory of the season and the ninth of his career. The dominant McLaren pair finished 22 seconds clear of third-placed George Russell of Mercedes with pole sitter Charles Leclerc of Ferrari fourth, grumbling at the Italian team's poor planning after he slipped out of the leading position. Two-time champion Fernando Alonso came home fifth for Aston Martin ahead of Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto, Lance Stroll in the second Aston Martin, rookie Liam Lawson of Racing Bulls and frustrated four-time champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Mercedes' rookie Kimi Antonelli was 10th ahead of Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar with seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton 12th in the second Ferrari, 24 hours after declaring himself undeserving of their race seat.

Kai Tak football fest a win for Hong Kong as host of elite sporting events
Hong Kong's football festival, featuring four top teams from England and Italy, thrilled fans, attracted visitors, boosted the economy and showcased the city's credentials as a host for elite sporting events. The two matches capped a successful first five months for the spectacular new Kai Tak Stadium, which welcomed its 1 millionth spectator at the clash between North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham. Advertisement The attendance for that match set a record for a football game in Hong Kong, as did the festival's other contest, between Liverpool and AC Milan . Both enjoyed crowds just short of the 50,000 capacity. Kai Tak Sports Park passed a major test, with fans dispersing smoothly after each game. The turnout for the open training sessions particularly impressed the visiting clubs: a total of almost 60,000. The two friendly matches were competitive as the teams, full of stars, prepared for the season ahead. The fans created a vibrant atmosphere. Hong Kong supporters are generally civilised and sporting. The festival was no exception. Many were experiencing a top-level football match for the first time. The efforts of all four teams were appreciated. The stadium was variously described by visiting players and managers as 'fantastic', 'incredible' and a 'game changer' . There was just a little criticism of the quality of the playing surface. That should receive attention. But the clubs also clearly enjoyed being in Hong Kong and welcomed the opportunity to connect with their passionate fans in the city, along with an estimated 40,000 who were visiting. The festival went beyond the two games, with events including meet-and-greets and engagement with famous former players. There were sales of club merchandise, and restaurants near the stadium reported a significant lift in takings, which is most welcome when the sector is struggling. Advertisement

How Ryan Choi's team turned unusual fencer into spectacular world champion
A colourful celebration could be on the cards for Hong Kong's Ryan Choi Chun-yin after the newly crowned fencing world champion was challenged by his coaches to mark his achievement with a 'rainbow' hairstyle. Yet Choi, 27, has already revealed a new side to himself, the coaches told the Post, having helped to transform him from an outsider only weeks ago to best on the planet in Georgia last week. Maurizio Zomparelli and Giacomo Fanizza, the city's foil coaches, respectively dyed their hair and beard pink last month when Choi won his first senior international title at the Shanghai Grand Prix. Since then, he has added Asian gold and the first world title by any Hong Kong fencer, which also lifted him from 12th in the world rankings to first – calling for an outlandish response, according to Zomparelli. 'Probably a multicoloured hairstyle this time … Ryan should be a part of this too,' the Italian said. But he already believes Choi has done something 'spectacular'.
