BREAKING NEWS McLaren pours cold water on bizarre claim that Donald Trump is set to drive one of its F1 cars in secret Austin test
News of the rumor began to spread around the F1 paddock on Saturday afternoon when Canal+ claimed the President was set for an unprecedented drive at the Circuit of the Americas, home of the United States Grand Prix.
In a tweet to its 384,000 followers on X, the French broadcaster reported: 'Donald Trump will drive an F1 car next week!
'Info Julien Febreau: The American President will be driving an F1 car in Austin.'
When asked by the Daily Mail at the Canadian Grand Prix, a McLaren spokesperson quickly denied there was any truth to the baffling report.
Canal+'s post was quickly removed after being widely shared around social media.

Right now, Trump can do no wrong – except in Washington DC
Donald Trump set the Fourth of July as his deadline for the passage of his 'Big Beautiful Bill', which provides for tax cuts and a slew of other measures. With the odds seemingly stacked against him at the start of the week, Trump nonetheless met his goal with hours to spare. The Bill was passed by the Senate thanks to the Vice-President's casting vote after a Republican revolt faded away; it then cleared the House of Representatives late on Thursday by four votes, after a Democrat attempt to talk the Bill out failed. Expect a ceremonial signing on Independence Day, in another act of Trumpian political theatre. Assuming no last-minute hitches, the 'Big Beautiful Bill" will set the seal on six months that have left Trump with considerably more policy wins than losses – a tally that may not be fully appreciated on the European side of the Atlantic, where mis-steps loom larger than they do on the home front. There has been no end to the Ukraine war in the promised 24 hours, or indeed 24 weeks; no durable ceasefire in the Middle East; in place of a pledge to keep the US out of foreign wars, a military strike on Iran; an early exit from the G7 summit; and an ill-tempered split with his one-time guru, Elon Musk. Add the up-ending of the international trading order with an ever-changing set of tariffs, and some measures that seem very alien to many Europeans – such as seizing and summarily deporting undocumented migrants, with back-up from the National Guard and the Marines – and the impression might well be of disorder, inconsistency, maladministration and failure. For the most part, however, this is not how the balance looks from the Trump side of the Atlantic, where I have just bucked the international tourism trend by venturing on holiday. From there, it is clear that Trump has been testing the limits of presidential power, but also that, more often than not, he has been coming out on top. Add the up-ending of the international trading order with an ever-changing set of tariffs, and some measures that seem very alien to many Europeans – such as seizing and summarily deporting undocumented migrants, with back-up from the National Guard and the Marines – and the impression might well be of disorder, inconsistency, maladministration and failure. That is not, for the most part, however, how it looks from the Trump side of the Atlantic, where I have just bucked the international tourism trend by venturing on holiday. And it would probably be wise for Europeans to accept the truth: Trump has been testing the limits of presidential power and, more often than not, coming out on top. Exactly a year ago, before he had even been re-elected president, a Supreme Court judgment upheld immunity from prosecution for past presidents. In recent weeks, the Supreme Court has largely upheld the scope of the executive orders that he issued by the dozen in his first days in power, as it also upheld his right to abolish so-called birthright citizenship – that anyone born in the US was a US citizen by right. (A similar provision in the UK was abolished back in the early 1980s.) He has won more cases than he has lost on his right to abolish whole government departments. An exception was a recent federal court ruling about the Department of Health, which had the effect of protecting those agencies set up by Congress. This could set a pattern for further defeats over the abolition of other Congress-approved agencies. But the ruling could also go to the Supreme Court, where there could be a different outcome. So far, though, the contrast with Trump's first term could hardly be sharper. Where in 2017 he seemed to meet obstructions at every step, and from every branch of power, 2025 has, so far, given him a relatively smooth ride. This is partly explained by the weakness of the Democrats, Republican majorities in both Houses of Congress, and the timidity of Republican opposition, along with the recognition that Trump won the popular vote. It is also because, so far, negative fallout from his decisions has been localised. It has been felt most in Washington itself, a staunchly Democrat city anyway, with the federal government a dominant employer. It is here where the job losses, the dissolution of departments and agencies have been most keenly felt. Swingeing cuts have also affected foreign service and aid programmes. But none of this has great resonance elsewhere in the US – except to be lauded as part of what Trump in his first term dubbed 'draining the swamp'. There was resistance in Los Angeles, New York and a few other places to the immigration raids, but again, broad popular sympathy is on the president's side. The same goes for the opening of a new pre-deportation facility in the southern Florida swamps, dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, after the notorious prison. Its accommodation would be decried in most of Europe; for many, though not all, Americans, serried ranks of metal bunks and fences like wire cages are the acceptable face of law enforcement. Overall, Trump is being given credit for doing what he said he would do, and doing it fast – that includes extracting more defence cash from the Europeans and trying to 'level the field' for US trade. His approval ratings fall short of a majority, hovering around 45 per cent. But that is still a lot higher than for many national leaders in this time of high public distrust of politicians. These are early days, of course. New trade tariffs have yet to be finalised, let alone fed into US consumer prices. There may be adverse effects of the 'Big Beautiful Bill', which include poorer people losing health cover and states reducing the provision of food stamps, well before any macro effect, such as stoking the national debt, is felt. But a hard-nosed ethic of self-help limits the obligation many people feel towards their poorer compatriots. In this, as in many other ways, the US is very far from Europe. With Trump's possibly most controversial action – bombing Iran's nuclear facilities – being successfully sold to his domestic constituency as a one-off American triumph, Trump can celebrate the first Independence Day of his second term riding high, and the opposition from Democrats, small-L liberals, federal employees past and present, and sections of the judiciary is not – at least not yet – on a scale to impede him. The only clue as to where US politics might possibly go (a) next and (b) to oppose Trumpism came from last week's surprise victory of a young left-wing populist in the recent Democratic primary contest for New York City mayor. It may mean nothing, or it could be a glimpse of where popular discontent might go, should Trumpism fail its current followers.

Fluminense vs Al-Hilal predictions: Club World Cup tips and odds
Our expert has two tips for Friday's Club World Cup quarter-final between Fluminense and Al-Hilal at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida (kick-off, 8pm BST). We think Malcom could cause problems for the Brazilians. Fluminense vs Al-Hilal tips Second half to be highest-scoring @ 11/10 with Sky Bet Malcom to score or assist @ 5/4 with Sky Bet Odds courtesy of Sky Bet Correct at the time of publication and subject to change.

Slow burner on the cards There were early goals in both Club World Cup round-of-16 ties involving Fluminense and Al-Hilal, but it could be a different story in the quarter-final between the clubs. Al-Hilal went 1-0 down after nine minutes against a Manchester City team who are known for starting games strongly and were expected to win, while Fluminense bundled the ball in after just three minutes against a fatigued and disorganised Inter Milan. But in such a huge contest for both clubs, neither are likely to take many risks in the opening stages. Four of the six goals scored by Fluminense at this Club World Cup have come after the break, while Al-Hilal failed to net in the first half against City or Salzburg. This game could open up more in the second half and, rather than settle on a result in a potentially tight contest, back the second half to be the highest-scoring one at 11/10. Expect Malcom magic in Orlando Given Al-Hilal have players such as Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Joao Cancelo in their ranks, Brazilian winger Malcom often flies under the radar and he is overpriced at 5/4 to score or assist against Fluminense. Even though he was replaced after 64 minutes, Malcom was one of Al-Hilal's most dangerous attacking players against City, getting on the scoresheet, managing a total of three shots and making one key pass. Indeed, he is averaging 2.3 shots per game and 1.5 key passes per game in this tournament, while he scored nine times in last season's Saudi Pro League. The big pull of backing Malcom in this match, though, is that Fluminense will be without their key left wing-back Rene, who is suspended. Rene is adept at shutting down opposition attacks, having averaged 2.3 tackles and four clearances per game at the Club World Cup, and his absence could be music to the ears of Malcom.

Palmeiras vs Chelsea predictions: Club World Cup tips and odds
Our expert has two tips for the Club World Cup quarter-final contest between Palmeiras and Chelsea at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (kick-off, Saturday 2am BST). We think the Blues have the depth to get over the line. Palmeiras vs Chelsea tips Chelsea to win @ 21/20 with Paddy Power Over 9.5 total match corners @ 17/20 with Paddy Power Odds courtesy of Paddy Power.

Back Blues to get over the line Following Manchester City's exit at the hands of Al-Hilal, the Club World Cup draw has opened up nicely for Chelsea, who are a value pick at 21/20 to beat Palmeiras and secure a spot in the last four. Enzo Maresca has experimented at times in this tournament – most notably in the 3-1 defeat by Flamengo in the group stage – but he is likely to revert to his strongest team and system for this game given the potential financial reward on the line. And while the absence of Moises Caicedo, who is suspended, is a huge blow, Nicolas Jackson returns from his ban and new signing Joao Pedro could be involved, while Palmeiras' defence is hindered by the suspension of captain Gustavo Gomez. Both teams went to extra time in the round of 16 but Chelsea have the superior squad depth and should cope better. Palmeiras rely on defensive grit and organisation but have yet to come up against a top side, drawing with Porto and Inter Miami either side of a 2-0 win against Al Ahly in the group stage, then seeing off Botafogo. Chelsea have the attacking quality to break them down and can win this in 90 minutes. Palmeiras' width can raise corner count At this year's Club World Cup, Palmeiras have directed 40 per cent of their attacks down the left side with just 28 per cent going through the middle. It is fair to say they have played with plenty of width and despite their defensive commitment, they like to strike at goal, averaging 17.3 shots per game in this tournament. Both factors could point to a high corner count with over 9.5 corners in the match appealing at 17/20. Palmeiras averaged 5.6 corners per game in the group stage before racking up 15 in their match with Botafogo (albeit after extra time), while Chelsea's group-stage average was 5.3 before they recorded 10 against Benfica after 120 minutes.
