Why Toto Wolff already knew Kimi Antonelli "would walk on water" at F1 Italian GP

Just like six years ago – when Pierre Gasly took victory for AlphaTauri – 6 September has proved to be a special date at the Autodromo Nazionale in Monza.
In 2026, home hero Kimi Antonelli sent the Italian crowd into raptures, after there had been tears among the tifosi earlier on Sunday afternoon following Charles Leclerc’s heavy crash in the Parabolica.
Antonelli, however, went on to ...Keep reading

‘Relief’ of Premier League title has given Arsenal confidence, says David Raya

  • Keeper says Gunners ‘can beat anybody in this league’

  • Arteta’s side have started title defence with three wins

David Raya says Arsenal are playing with greater confidence after the “relief” of winning the Premier League. The champions continued their perfect start to the defence of their crown with the 2-1 home win over Chelsea on Sunday, making it nine points out of nine.

It was a powerhouse performance coloured by a freedom of expression, which stood in contrast to the nerviness of the final months of last season when the team laboured under a weight of pressure and expectation before they beat Manchester City to the title. That was Arsenal’s first triumph since 2004 and followed three consecutive runners-up finishes.

Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss passes for 336 yards, runs for 60 in 41-38 win in opener

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who may prove to be among the most polarizing prospects in the 2027 NFL draft, is off to a good start to his final season of college football.

Chambliss completed 21 of 36 passes for 336 yards, with three touchdowns and one interception, and also added nine carries for 60 yards and a rushing touchdown, as No. 9 Ole Miss beat No. 24 Louisville 41-38.

A year ago, Chambliss was a little-known transfer from Division II Ferris State who wasn't even expected to start at Ole Miss, but he became more than just a starter. He became one of the best players in the country, leading Ole Miss to the College Football Playoff.

So why is Chambliss polarizing as a prospect? He's on the smaller side (listed at 6-foot-1, possibly shorter) and is already 24 years old and in his sixth year of college football, so he may have less less upside and room for growth than some of the younger, less experienced quarterback projects.

Will Chambliss be a first-round pick? A Day Three pick? There's a wide range of potential outcomes, but he can help his case by continuing to play like he did against Louisville.

Madring espera a Leclerc: todas las miradas puestas en la recuperación del de Ferrari

Con todos los equipos enfocados ya en tratar de adivinar qué se van a encontrar desde el próximo viernes en el Madring, Ferrari tiene todas sus miradas puestas en Charles Leclerc, que este domingo, en Monza y delante de los tifosi, dio uno de esos sustos que, por suerte, ya son menos habituales durante el transcurso de un gran premio de Fórmula 1. El monegasco perdió el control de su monoplaza en la segunda vuelta de la carrera y mientras trazaba la famosa Parabólica, la curva que precede a la recta de meta y una de las más rápidas del calendario. A pesar de que el equipo italiano no ha facilitado los datos del siniestro, las velocidades de paso por ese punto, la escasa escapatoria y la violencia del impacto contra las barreras de protección llevan a pensar que Leclerc se estrelló a más de 200 kilómetros por hora.
