Mercedes take advantage of McLaren's loose grip on the Constructor's Title
George Russel is leading Mercedes' to the right direction along with rookie Kimi Antonelli. | AFP Image: AFP What started out looking like a sure fire double trophy season for McLaren is quickly making a short left turn into the favour of Mercedes, following a double podium finish in Canada this weekend. Mercedes looked distraught in recent weeks leading up to Canada, bogged down by car troubles and George Russell having his usual tussle with Max Verstappen. There's still no love lost between the two, but the incident between Verstappen and Russell definitely gave the Mercedes driver the need to dig deep and fight fire with fire. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ It's no wonder where Russell got the will to seize his first win of the year from, and it came at the most opportune moment for Toto Wolff''s team - just as the momentum appears to be fading away at McLaren. Again, Wolff is probably giving himself a pat on the back for signing arguably the hottest rookie in the sport - Kimi Antonelli. Antonelli's bold overtake of Oscar Piastri during the opening lap allowed him the chance to fight for the podium, and he did just that - finish at P3. 'I had a good first launch and I managed to get alongside. In the first corner I just tried to carry as much speed as possible. 'Then when I was alongside him at Turn 2 I knew I would have an advantage, especially going into Turn 3. Really happy to stick that,' Antonelli said about overtaking Piastri. Mercedes have put themselves within reach of the title, 75 points behind McLaren. Russell's consistency in the opening part of the season also means he's within reach of his first World Title this year. Unforced errors and what appears to be a loss of concentration at the papaya camp has allowed Mercedes swoop in mid-season and mount a full-scale attack on the Constructors Title. Lando Norris put a dent in his Championship fight in Canada after crashing into the rear end of Piastri, forcing him to retire from the race and give up vital points for himself and the team.

Who Will Face Gunther for the WWE World Title at SummerSlam? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Gunther may not be unbeatable, but he has a knack for getting to the top and staying there. The Austrian 'Ring General' ruled NXT UK for more than two years before arriving on the main WWE roster. He shattered The Honky Tonk Man's 35-year record by holding the Intercontinental title for 666 days. After winning last year's King of the Ring tournament, Gunther dethroned Damien Priest to become World champion at SummerSlam 2024. Advertisement Jey Uso knocked the champ off his throne at WrestleMania 41, just like Sami Zayn beat Gunther for the IC title at WM 40. But it was only a matter of time before this happened. New World Champion Gunther (Getty) Gunther said last week that he would regain the title because Jey Uso couldn't stop helping his friends. Indeed, Uso came into the match with a rib injury at the hands of Bronson Reed. Gunther beat the weakened Uso on Monday night in Phoenix to recapture the title. On the same night, the King of the Ring tournament began. The winner will challenge for the WWE or World title at SummerSlam. Let's take a look at the brackets. Sami Zayn already won the first match. He could win the KOTR tournament at Night of Champions in front of his adoring fans in Saudi Arabia. Then, Zayn could try to beat Gunther again and win his first World title. Advertisement Cody Rhodes, Sheamus, Priest, and Randy Orton are former World champions. Rusev, Aleister Black, and Carmelo Hayes could be ready for a breakout victory. And what about that mystery spot? As the poster suggested, it could be Roman Reigns. But there's one man that we can't forget, especially when it comes to being an opponent for Gunther. Goldberg (Getty) Last year at Bad Blood in Atlanta, Goldberg came out of the crowd and confronted Gunther. The 58-year-old former WCW champion is training for the final match of his career. What better way to go out than with a title vs. career match at SummerSlam against Gunther? Advertisement Remember, Goldberg doesn't have to become King of the Ring. The tournament winner could choose to face John Cena or CM Punk for the WWE title at SummerSlam, while Goldberg can set his sights on Gunther.

Lewis Hamilton backs Ferrari boss as they head into sentimental Canadian Grand Prix
HE'S GOOD: LEWIS Hamilton optimistic about Ferrari as he returns to Canada. | Reuters Image: Reuters Ferrari woes aside, Lewis Hamilton believes that team Principal Fred Vasseur is the man to lead them through the dark tunnel of imbalance they find themselves in. Hamilton was speaking to the press in Montreal, Canada ahead of the 10th race of the season. It's also one of the most sentimental races on the calendar for the 40-year-old British driver, because it's where he won his first race as a rookie 18 years ago for McLaren. To give you some context as to the longevity of Hamilton's career: from the time he won his first F1 race, Kimi Antonelli was born, went to school, started karting, graduated karting, went into Formula 1, succeeded there and made his way to F1.

Next Stay Close ✕ In all that time, Hamilton still remained one of the top contenders for the World Title and still does to this day. Hamilton's debut win was crowned with record breaking feats, as he was the first black person to win a F1 race. It was only six races deep into his maiden season but the rookie still stayed ahead of his season teammate Fernando Alonso and won the race. The 2007 Canadian Grand Prix affirmed in the minds of people what was only speculated at the time: Lewis Hamilton is the next big thing in F1. Since then, Hamilton's won 7 races in Canada, equaling Michael Schumacher's record for the most wins. There's no denying the 2025 Canadian GP will be even more special than his first race, given the fact that he's fighting for an eighth World Title this season and its with the most decorated F1 team. Although he hasn't been able to put up much of a fight due to a slow and unbalanced car, Hamilton has still fought for every one of the 71 points he's earned this season. He voiced his commitment towards Vasseur's leadership even amidst the troubles team Ferrari have experienced in public view.

Rikishi voices frustration over Jey Uso's WWE direction, calls for booking overhaul
Image via WWE WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has voiced strong concerns over the creative direction surrounding his son Jey Uso, who is currently enjoying his first reign as World Heavyweight Champion. While Jey remains a prominent figure in the promotion, Rikishi believes WWE's decision to book him in a tag team match at Money in the Bank (MITB) 2025 undermines his stature as a singles champion. Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi criticised WWE's creative team for what he called 'confusing booking' and even joked that he should be allowed to book Jey's matches instead. 'Bro why? Why? I mean, Jey is a World Heavyweight Champion by himself… just book me so I can book my son's matches out there,' he quipped. Rikishi shows concern over storyline momentum Jey Uso is set to team up with Cody Rhodes to face Logan Paul and John Cena at MITB on June 7. While the lineup looks star-studded on paper, Rikishi questioned the decision to place a reigning world champion in a non-title tag match instead of spotlighting him in a marquee singles bout. 'You beat Logan Paul the first time they lock up? I wouldn't have done that. Should've waited for a gimmick match,' Rikishi added, pointing out that Paul's star power could've been better utilized. YADADAMEAN?! Rikishi Fatu - Off The Top (Episode 61) He also took aim at the upcoming World Title match scheduled for June 9 on RAW, where GUNTHER will challenge Jey Uso. According to Rikishi, the match should've happened much sooner and with added stakes, possibly a stipulation that matches their in-ring reputations. While Rikishi may not be pleased with Jey's creative arc, he was full of praise for two other members of the Samoan dynasty - Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo (formerly Jeff Cobb). Rikishi labeled Fatu a 'future Hall of Famer' and lauded his rise from personal struggles to becoming one of WWE's hottest new stars. He also applauded Mateo's quick impact since debuting at WWE Backlash and likened his physical presence to that of a prime Taz, highlighting his suplex-heavy style and agility despite his build. 'To see him get that financial stability after grinding on the indies - man, I'm proud,' Rikishi said. Fans online appear to agree with Rikishi's sentiment. Many have questioned the lack of title defenses for Jey and criticized WWE for relying too heavily on tag matches featuring champions at Premium Live Events.
