POLE POSITION: Formula One teams have spoiled sprint race fun, Lewis Hamilton comes clean on Ferrari talks and Lance Stroll is growing fed up at Aston Martin as he feels the chill blast of being Ferna

Daily Mail  

Lance Stroll has struggled at Aston Martin going up against Fernando Alonso Mail Sport first reported in May that Lewis Hamilton had held talks with Ferrari Saturday's sprint race may be a special one if Max Verstappen clinches his third world title in Qatar. Because the teams like it this way more than the ‘old’ system, introduced in 2021, in which the sprint race determined the grid for Sunday. Lance Stroll has scored just 47 points this season compared to Fernando Alonso's 174 with the Spaniard also claiming all seven of Aston Martin's podiums this season Hamilton DID speak to Ferrari I almost called for medical assistance when I read Lewis Hamilton’s interview in the Swiss newspaper Blick this week. Bring on new blood to shake up cosy club The FIA has done the right thing in accepting an 11th entry, Andretti, to the world championship for 2026 — though this needs approval from Liberty Media’s Formula One Group before the Americans make it to the grid.
