Lando Norris Wins with One-Stop Strategy in Hungary, McLaren Captures 200th Win
On the opening lap of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Lando Norris fell from third to fifth, being passed by the Mercedes of George Russell and the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso, as pole-sitter Charles Leclerc and Norris's teammate, Oscar Piastri, pulled ahead. Norris's mistake on the opening lap ultimately won him the race as McLaren split their strategy, with the only chance of Norris competing for a win coming with a one-stop race, keeping him out of most of the wheel-to-wheel racing action. Norris, Piastri, and Leclerc were all chasing their ninth career win, with Norris taking the win for his side of the McLaren garage and bringing the English team their 200th win. Norris's win over Piastri in second drops Piastri's points lead to nine points. "I'm dead, it was tough," Norris told F1TV. "We were not planning on the one-stop at the beginning, but after the first lap, it was kinda our only option to get back into things. The final stint with Oscar catching, I was pushing flat out." Leclerc was able to hold off Piastri through the first set of pit stops on the two-stop strategy, with Piastri pitting first on lap 19 for the undercut and Leclerc staying ahead after pitting a lap later. While Norris was running behind Leclerc and Piastri, the championship leader had to choose his priority of racing against Leclerc or Norris. In the end, Piastri extended his middle section to have the freshest hard tires to take the race to his teammate in the closing laps, after Leclerc was pulled to the pits complaining about his tires. Ultimately, on lap 41, Leclerc and Ferrari took the bait when McLaren set up the pit for Piastri, drawing Leclerc down the pit lane. Piastri and McLaren had decided by this half way point, while just two seconds behind Leclerc, that the race was with their competitor on the other side of the McLaren garage. Piastri would pit on lap 46. Five laps later, Piastri was able to make the run on Leclerc for the lead once his second hard tires were heated underneath him. When Piastri moved into second ahead of Leclerc, he was nine seconds behind his teammate on 14-lap fresher tires by lap 62, Piastri was within three seconds. Cutting into the lead by about a third of a second a lap, set Piastri up for his first attempt at a race-winning pass to come with two laps remaining, a lockup kept Norris ahead. "I think I needed to be a couple of tenths closer, which was going to take a mistake by Lando to achieve that," Piastri told F1TV. "I felt like that was going to be my best chance, you never want to save it for the next lap, which never comes." As soon as Norris picked the one-stop option, Piastri was forced into his only move being an overtake on a notoriously hard passing track. "I pushed as hard as I could, I think after I saw Lando going for the one [stop], I knew I was going to have to overtake on the track, which is much easier said than done around here," Piastri said. "Tried a few things, it was a gamble either way, today unfortunately we were on the wrong side of it. The team did a great job, the car really came alive in the second half of the race." When Leclerc fell to third, his race came undone. George Russell, came out fourth behind the Ferrari after his final pit stop. While trying to defend, Leclerc was desperate and aggressive as Russell radioed that the Ferrari was moving under braking on lap 62. Leclerc pulled the same move on lap 63, but Russell was able to get around the second time. The Stewards reviewed Leclerc's move and hit him with a five-second penalty. By the end of the race, Leclerc was 15 seconds off the podium but held fourth place with the penalty crossing the finish line 16 seconds ahead of Alonso. Aston Martin had their best race finish as Alonso took fifth ahead of Sauber's Gabrial Bortoleto and his teammate Lance Stroll. Liam Lawson finished ahead of Max Verstappen in ninth with Kimi Antoneill holding on with hard tires for 48 laps to capture the last point of the Grand Prix, keeping Issac Hadjar and Lewis Hamilton at bay.

Eddie Howe hopes Alexander Isak will return to training with Newcastle
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is hoping to see striker Alexander Isak back in training in the coming days. Isak, who has been the subject of interest from Liverpool, has missed the Magpies' pre-season tour of Asia amid speculation over his future. Newcastle are now returning home after their trip concluded with a 1-1 draw against Tottenham in Seoul on Sunday and Howe hopes the Sweden international will report back as normal. Howe told The Chronicle after the game: 'Of course I'd like him to but whether or not he will, I don't know at this moment in time. 'Other people have been dealing with that situation back at home.' Sweden international Isak did not travel with the squad due to a thigh injury but the player reportedly wants to explore the possibility of a move. Newcastle rejected an offer of £110million from Liverpool for the 25-year-old, who has three years remaining on his contract and is valued by the club at £150million. Isak has trained with former club Real Sociedad while Newcastle have been away but is now thought to be returning to the UK. Newcastle, meanwhile, are understood to have had a bid worth up to £69.7million for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko rejected by the German club. Slovenia international Sesko has also been linked with Manchester United.

Ed Kelce, Travis and Jason's dad, mourns death of 'beloved friend' Maureen Maguire
Travis and Jason Kelce's dad has shared news of the death of a loved one. Ed Kelce, father of the football stars, announced the loss of Maureen Maguire, 74, in a Facebook post on Saturday, Aug. 2. He shared a link to an obituary that described Maguire as his "beloved friend," though a Los Angeles Times interview with Kelce published in 2024 noted Maguire was his girlfriend. Maguire, a former elementary school teacher who was born in New York but spent most of her life in Philadelphia, "passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones," according to the obituary. She "grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch," the obituary also read. "Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest." Maguire was predeceased by her husband, Daniel J. Maguire Jr., and is survived by her three children, six grandchildren, and her sister and brother. Travis Kelce finally posts Taylor Swift photos on Instagram: See the couple's date nights Ed Kelce was previously married to Donna Kelce, Travis and Jason's mother, for more than 20 years. In an appearance on her sons' "New Heights" podcast in 2023, Donna Kelce noted that she and Ed are "friends to this day," adding, "We get along great. It's just sometimes people move apart, that's all." Travis Kelce consoled by Taylor Swift as retirement rumors swirl after Super Bowl loss "We're like a tag team with you two," she added, addressing Jason and Travis. "When one of you had to go out of town, another person would help the other child, so it was perfect." Speaking with the Los Angeles Times in 2024, Ed Kelce revealed an amusing interaction Maguire had with Travis Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, soon after they met. When Swift was posing for a photo with Ed Kelce and nuzzled up to him, Maguire jokingly warned, "Hey, that's my boyfriend," according to the Times, which said the singer "laughed and struck something closer to a father-daughter pose."
