As the three McLaren champions’ Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris approach the final five races of the season, Lewis Hamilton has cautioned them about Max Verstappen’s “cut-throat” persona.

Verstappen is 40 points behind Piastri, who has won three races and finished second in the previous four races, while Norris holds the championship lead by 14 points.

In that case, Hamilton and Verstappen engaged in a fierce championship battle in 2021, Hamilton said, “The pressure is high.” You must raise your blinkers and block everything from the outside at this time.

If they don’t do the same, Max will take this from them because you must be competitive, which is what Max is.

You must hold off on someone like Max and the vehicle he drives. Consistentness is important, and you can see that from Max in the last few races, but also for either of them to win.

Verstappen, the seven-time champion, claimed that after the Dutch Grand Prix at the end of August, he was 104 points adrift of Piastri.

Hamilton remarked, “You have three incredibly talented drivers, and I can’t foresee how they’ll act.”

“Max has won it four times, so he understands what it’s like, and being the hunter is much simpler than being the defender,” he said.

When you’re in the lead and someone is slashing your lead, you’re more likely to lose than if you’re chasing after all. You have nothing to lose in the lead.

The McLaren drivers have the fastest car, according to George Russell, the Mercedes driver, who won in Singapore two races ago. You can never deny Max and Red Bull for doing a fantastic job.

The McLaren drivers have no internal team rules to follow after the final five races other than refraining from colliding with one another.

After colliding with Piastri while falling third to him at the first sequence of corners in Singapore, Norris was facing undefined “repercussions.”

These have now been eliminated following the collision between the two at the US Grand Prix last weekend.

“We are starting this weekend with a clean slate for both of us, just going out and going racing,” said Piastri, adding that there is a certain degree of responsibility on my side in the sprint.

The Australian, who won at Zandvoort, said he was surprised Verstappen had entered the race so quickly but that his lead had weakened after Norris had lost each of his previous four races.

He has come a bit of a surprise because of his form since Monza, according to Piastri.

“There were some pretty significant dips earlier in the season,” according to the statement. Although we are aware that they have been attempting to make things better, he has arrived sooner than I had anticipated.

However, Piastri responded, “It’s not really something I think about,” when asked if he was concerned about Verstappen. There is no benefit in worrying or focusing on something because he has been consistent and strong over the last few weekends.

The key to a championship win is to maximize the best possible use of the team, car, and myself. He is present, and he is engaged in combat, but ultimately nothing about how I approach my racing.

Max has been in excellent form for about a month, Norris continued. They’ve performed better than we have.

He is Max Verstappen, and he has won a lot of races. If you didn’t want to give Max a chance, you’d be foolish.

They are currently in better shape, and in many races, they have been quicker. However, chances are still present. We just need to use a better car until the end of the season when it becomes available.

After the US Grand Prix, Red Bull issued a fine of 50, 000 euros (£43, 500) for a team member who was on the grid after the grid was supposed to be cleared because he had attempted to remove the tape McLaren had placed on the pit wall to help Norris park his car in the correct spot.

Norris claimed that the circumstance was “very amusing, especially because I didn’t even use the tape, which is even better.”

He continued, “I used it for backup.” In Austin, I wasn’t required to use it. They were already doing it, we all knew. They attempted to remove the tape, but they failed, and they were fined. Quite amusing.

Red Bull’s actions were described as “gambling,” according to Piastri, who added that it was their right to do so. Too late to do it, they were on the grid. Everyone will decide whether or not it is necessary.

There is a career in the motor trade beckoning if Brendan Rodgers’ football management saga doesn’t work out.

The Celtic manager had replaced the ringing of boos at full-time with the chilly Sunday at Dens Park when his defeated Celtic team was compared to a Honda Civic. Honda Civic drivers are not offended.

There is no way you’ll enter a race and say, “I want you to drive it like a Ferrari,” when given the keys to a Honda Civic. He claimed that it won’t occur.

Rodgers has repeatedly made it clear that his team, which he has publicly exposed as a misfiring Celtic team, is not up to the standard he would want for a domestic and European assault.

To Thursday, then. a new game a second news conference following the game. The dreaded Honda Civic is mentioned once more.

However, thanks to a stirring 2-1 comeback victory over Sturm Graz in the Europa League, his team had now advanced to becoming a Range Rover Sport.

Rodgers grinned and said, “We weren’t quite the Ferrari, but I’ll choose a Range Rover sport.” “We can’t possibly get any Morris Minors in the performance.” Not to say that they’re bad cars.

This game had the wheels threatened to properly come off for Celtic, in order to avoid one final car reference.

A difficult tie that, at half-time, brought on a palpable sense of angst in addition to the ominous anticipation that drew spectators to the contest.

A team that had been aiming for the Champions League this season with just one goal and one point from two Europa League games isn’t doing much.

Rodgers’ public dissatisfaction with his team has heightened his concern about the pre-game misgivings. Before getting to the underwhelming league campaign, which has them five points behind Hearts as the leader.

The Parkhead screen will now click round in 26 minutes. Due to a hirped injury, Kelechi Iheanacho. A Tomi Horvat thunderbolt has defeated Kaspar Schmeichel from close range.

After two months out injured, right-back Alistair Johnston is recovering from a ball that is headed in his own goal. He runs away with a grimace and a leg cramp.

At this point, Celtic’s strength and character would be put to the test. They handled it well, in contrast to the weekend.

The first wave of relief, which was provided by Liam Scales, did not arrive until the 61st minute. Three minutes later, Benjamin Nygren’s strike put Rodgers’ side on the verge of redemption.

The Celtic boss made the comments following the match on Sunday that were “always harsh and clear. “And I hope you get that response,” the woman said.

These players are aware of my constant companionship. I dedicate my life to improving this team and advancing the club. It wasn’t good enough over the weekend.

Before the game, I told the players, “We really need to show leadership now.” When those players are under pressure, in my opinion, they advance.

The transformative approach to Celtic’s attack was the key to their victory.

In their previous five games, only four goals had been scored. That Morris Minor could have scored five times on the way to Tayside and back without scoring at Dundee.

It almost resembled the Celtic of the past when Sturm was defeated, especially in the second half. Almost . Twenty-seven shots were made on target, and 136 were final third passes. 4.24 expected goals (xG), the highest total for any team in the tournament this season.

Down the left, the majority of the joy was found. The full-back who hasn’t shown any signs of his rampage since returning to Arsenal was given permission to advance. Sebastian Tounetki and Reo Hatate also made their way there.

The performance by Arne Engels may have been one of the other important factors. The man has only started a third of his games this year, which is reported to have cost £11 million last year.

He had a lasting impact on the Austrians, allowing five chances to pass and providing an assist in eight crosses.

Former Celtic defender Johan Mjallby told TNT Sports, “I’m really happy for Arne Engels especially because it was great to see him back and playing really well.”

Celtic’s portrayal of the character was truly impressive. Given the club’s atmosphere, early injuries, and goal-loss, they could have easily caved in. But they persevered despite all their panic.

However, no one at Celtic will or ought to be getting carried away. Even though it could have been a scorching night, it wasn’t a flawless performance, and the ghosts of Dens Park won’t be exorcised so quickly.

It’s undeniably close to Celtic’s homecoming game, which is undoubtedly their biggest of the season.

On Sunday, a trip to Scotland’s capital is a beckoning opportunity to face a Hearts side that could finish eight points clear. It would have been an unfathomable fantasy for Celtic to have limbered up to start their season.

Without Johnston, Iheanacho, and possibly Cameron Carter-Vickers, they will travel east. However, they will also experience renewed self-assurance and evidence that they have what it takes to knuckle down.

This title-winning juggernaut was built on that foundation. completing the task. It was done against Sturm, and it’s now time to go back.

After being defeated by AEK Larnaca, Crystal Palace’s first home game in a major European competition didn’t go as planned, but manager Oliver Glasner said “perhaps the environment was still needed to stay humble.”

Due to Selhurst Park hosting a game in Europe for the first time in its 101-year history, it was supposed to be Palace’s big night.

A sell-out crowd chanted Glasner’s name and sang songs about the FA Cup win at Selhurst Station, which created an additional buzz.

A stunning Dad’s Army-inspired tifo with a banner proclaiming “we are the boys who will win your little game” was unveiled just before kick-off, plotting Palace’s route from south to May’s Conference League final in Leipzig.

Palace, who have lost all of their matches at home since February, have used the arena as a fortress.

However, the Eagles’ performance never lived up to the hype. They did have a lot of chances, totaling 15, but only one was successful.

In the first half, Jean-Philippe Mateta fired a hooked volley past the crossbar, and substitute Eddie Nketiah should have given the hosts a lead before the hosts had a chance to equalize after a late rally but completely missed a loose ball from five yards out.

Does Glasner have a point?

The Palace boss assured the Palace manager that when they play in the Premier League, they always claim to win the Conference League.

“Be modest.” I’m not sure if any debutant will succeed in the competition. Not in my opinion.

Glasner added that the game “felt like it was “a little deja vu,” with his team not scoring as they should and we are punished.”

They have lost three of their previous three games to Everton, which ended their club’s record 19-game unbeaten run, and they are winless with a 3-3 draw with Bournemouth last weekend.

Palace has historically had dominance over their opponents in each of their previous three games.

They would have preferred to face Larnaca, who had only previously lost to West Ham in a 6-0 overall loss in 2023.

An error was the source of the goal. In the 51st minute, Eagles goalkeeper Jaydee Canvot unleash a powerful finish that put a powerful finish on Riad Bajic.

It’s that simple, says Palace captain Marc Guehi, “They scored, we didn’t.”

Every team has a unique gameplan, according to the statement. A team sat back today, not me. We were both irritated and pleased with them.
