He was almost immediately put under investigation for travelling too slowly on the racing line during Q3 and impeding his pole rival. Shortly after qualifying the stewards slapped him with a rare one-place grid penalty, reversing the order of the front row. Every F1 qualifying session and race LIVE in 4K on Kayo. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. Though hardly disastrous for the Dutchman, it means he’s now gone 12 grands prix without a P1 start. Unusually he’s twice been the fastest driver in Q3 during that time — in Belgium, where he was dropped 10 places on the grid with an engine penalty, and now in Qatar. It marginally boosts the odds of a second consecutive victory for Russell, who’s brimming with confidence after dominating in Las Vegas and full of determination after having been denied a better sprint finish thanks to some clever teamwork tactics by McLaren. VERSTAPPEN COPS PENALTY FOR ‘SUPER DANGEROUS’ INCIDENT, LOSES POLE The Lusail International Circuit is a dangerous one around which to be travelling slowly. Flowing and super fast, the closing speed between a driver on a hot lap and one cooling their tyres is likely to be enormous. More important is that the number of high-downforce sweeps means any driver on a performance run is likely to be hard committed, meaning they’ll have little scope to avoid a crash if a slow-moving car suddenly comes into view. The race director has mandated a maximum lap time for cool-down laps for this reason, hoping to at least reduce the closing speed between two cars on different programs. It wasn’t enough to stop Verstappen and Russell tangling as they prepared for the final Q3 laps, however. Verstappen was travelling very slowly through the fastest set of corners on the circuit, the turn 12-13-14 triple-apex right-hander. He’d just let past two cars as he attempted to make space for his own fast lap but was on the racing line. Russell suddenly closed up to him with a massive speed difference. To avoid an accident he had to spear off the road, clambering over some kerbs and through a gravel trap, an incident he described over radio at the time as being “super dangerous”. “[The gravel was] all over the floor, through the floor,” he said afterwards. “It felt like the floor was scraping over that kerb and through the gravel. “It was a bit of a hairy one, two corners before we start the lap. “That was probably the 55 milliseconds [that cost me pole].” But Russell wasn’t on a fast lap; he was also on a preparation lap, albeit with a dramatically different program. Whereas Verstappen had just set a fast lap and was undertaking two cool-down laps before his final time, Russell was on a much faster preparation lap building up temperature for his last crack. It made it a highly unusual incident to judge, with Russell technically not impeded but the incident dangerous all the same. “The stewards regard this case as a complicated one in that clearly [Verstappen] did not comply with the race director’s event notes and clearly was driving, in our determination, unnecessarily slowly considering the circumstances,” the stewards said in their ruling. “It was obvious the driver of [Verstappen] was attempting to cool his tyres. He also could see [Russell] approaching as he looked in his mirror multiple times whilst on the small straight between turns 11 and 12. “Unusually, this incident occurred when neither car was on a push lap. Had [Russell] been on a push lap, the penalty would have most likely been the usual three-grid-position penalty; however, in mitigation of penalty, it was obvious that the driver of [Russell] had clear visibility of [Verstappen] and that neither car was on a push lap.” The compromise was a one-place penalty that promotes Russell back to top spot, where he was before the clumsy incident. This could be particularly advantageous given the grip difference between the pole side of the grid, on the gripped-up racing line, and the alternative side, which sees no real action. “It was pretty clear in the sprint that everyone on that right side made bad starts, and that’s obviously a little bit unfair to have those circumstances,” Russell said before Verstappen’s penalty. “That ultimately cost me the chance to fight with Lando [in the sprint]. “I think it’s going to be a really close fight between all four teams. Ferrari looked on the same pace as Lando and me this morning. I hope it’s going to be a good one.” NORRIS REPAYS THE DEBT WITH LEAD CONCESSIONS McLaren has been very keen throughout this season of growing pains to remain committed to its values of sporting integrity and fairness. Sometimes it’s been difficult — the team was put through a serious stress test at the Hungarian Grand Prix, for example, when Lando Norris briefly considered ignoring team orders to give Oscar Piastri back his hard-earned lead — but the team has refused to waver. That commitment to even-handedness paid enormous dividends in Qatar, with Norris voluntarily ceding the lead to Piastri on the final lap. It was payback for Piastri doing the same at the previous sprint in Brazil to aid Norris’s since extinguished drivers championship hopes. The Briton had telegraphed his plan to the team before the sprint but had been told explicitly that he could win the half-hour dash when it became clear Russell wasn’t going to fall back to a more comfortable distance. He nonetheless picked his moment and executed perfectly to redress the imbalance from Sao Paulo. “I didn’t have to do it if I didn’t want to,” Norris said. “I told my engineer that I would do it, so he was the main one that probably knew about it, and I told him before the race if we have a bit of a gap and we’re first and second, then I would try and do it. “He knew and he was telling me not to do it because I think the gap to George was probably a bit too fine for their liking, but Oscar did his part in trying to help me get closer to Max in the championship and give that opportunity a go. “I deserved that right to have a chance, and that’s how we have to work as a team when one of us has that opportunity, and I returned the favour today.” Piastri, who admitted to being a little bit surprised to be handed the lead given Russell was right on his tail, said it spoke to the way the drivers lived McLaren’s values that he and Norris could be trusted to sort it out for themselves. “I think it just speaks of our teamwork and fairness for the team,” he said. “It obviously doesn’t change the points, and I think it just shows off our teamwork and lack of egos within the team. “I think if you’ve got both drivers so willing to work together and help each other out, then it’s the best example for the rest of the team, because it’s not just about us two, it’s about the hundreds and thousands of people trying to help us win.” But perhaps best of all for McLaren is that it neatly draws a line under this season from the perspective of the drivers title. There’s an expectation that Piastri and Norris will be rival championship contenders next season, with McLaren tipped to start the year with a race-winning car. Ending the year effectively with scores level — and with the drivers having shown faith in each other’s sportsmanship — gives the team the best possible chance of surviving a possible internal title battle. McLAREN HAS CHANCE TO SEAL CONSTRUCTORS TITLE TODAY The Norris-Piastri position reversal was points-neutral for McLaren, with the team taking a big step forward in the constructors championship. With Ferrari finishing fourth and fifth, the gap opened to 30 points. There’ll be just 44 points remaining after Sunday night. Another one-two finish in the grand prix would seal the deal regardless of what Ferrari achieves, winning McLaren its first teams title since 1998. But things don’t look quite as straightforward after qualifying as they did after the sprint. Norris dominated sprint qualifying, but neither McLaren driver looked likely to take pole position for the grand prix on a circuit that had fully rubbered in and cleaned up after almost two days of running. He qualified third ahead of Piastri in fourth. Again there was little to separate them, just 0.057 seconds. McLaren — as did every team — made changes to the car following the sprint to hone it for qualifying and the grand prix, but rather than having taken a wrong turn, Norris said the way the weekend has unfolded has only highlighted a long-running trait of the team and its car. “I think today probably showed that we are very strong at getting everything out of the car very early in the weekend,” he said. “The car was quick already in FP1. In [sprint] qualifying we felt good. In the [sprint] race we were good. “What is clear is that others did a bad job. They amended some of their wrongdoings and managed to get a lot more potential out of the car today, and we just were not able to. We got everything out of the car already. “That was the main thing. We hope in the race that things come back to us just a little bit.” It’s given Ferrari a small opening to try to claw back some points. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz qualified fifth and seventh. Both were still slower, but not by as much as they were in sprint qualifying, the gap between the two teams just 0.08 seconds. Sainz demonstrated in the sprint that he had the pace to stick with the podium-getters. Leclerc was also rapid late in the sprint after getting back past Lewis Hamilton. But we also learnt from the short race that overtaking is difficult, and the propensity for a train to form in the DRS is high. It puts a significant onus on Ferrari’s race start if it’s to stand a chance of either neutralising or potentially outscoring the orange team ahead. “We’ll need a good start and a good first few laps in order to try and pass one of them and then put the pressure on the other. “I think we are fast in the long runs, but as I was saying this morning, it’s very difficult to overtake here, so I think that we are not going to use that pace that much. “But let’s see. Every race is different. If we find our one opportunity to show out pace in clear air at one point, we’ll try and take it.” Degradation is lower than expected. Combined with the long pit straight and commensurately long stop time, one stop is now forecast as the preferred strategy. That leaves only one other opening for position changes if passing really will be that difficult. After analysing performances in the sprint, the top four teams are split by just 0.1 seconds per lap on average in race pace — practically nothing. It should make for an unpredictable battle on Sunday night. PÉREZ PLAYS THE TEAM GAME BUT ENDS UP SLOWER Sergio Pérez was on a hiding to nothing from 16th on the sprint grid, so Red Bull Racing hauled him in for a pit-lane start for a series of set-up changes as an experiment for the rest of the weekend. Things only got worse from there. Franco Colapinto had also been recalled for a pit-lane start and was queuing behind Pérez when the lights went green. Bizarrely the Mexican didn’t react, and the Argentine subjected him to a super rare overtake at pit exit. Pérez appeared to miss the light turning green, and when he did eventually pull away, it was at a leisurely pace rather than with the vigour of a race launch. He argued afterwards that it had been a deliberate move to put himself at the back of the pack and in as much clear air as possible to experiment with the car, though it appeared to be the first team principal Christian Horner had heard of it. “I don’t know [what that was about], to be honest,” Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner told Sky Sports. “I need to have a chat with him about it. “It looked like he just misjudged it, but when the light goes out, you’re supposed to go.” Nonetheless, the combination of his experiments and lessons learnt from Verstappen’s lacklustre race to eighth formed the basis of a set-up that served the team well for qualifying, delivering the Dutchman a front-row start. But they did little for Pérez. To the Mexican’s credit, he just slipped into the top 10 for his third Q3 appearance in the last six races, avoiding an embarrassing repeat of his sprint qualifying bottom-five knockout. But he did so despite being even slower relative to Verstappen that he had been on Friday. When he was knocked out of sprint qualifying in SQ1, he was 0.685 slower than his teammate. In Q3 in grand prix qualifying his deficit blew out to 0.905 seconds. It was his second-biggest deficit of the entire season after his result at the Canadian Grand Prix in June. “I think that was a good step considering where we’d been with the discontented balance we’ve been having with the car,” he argued. “There’s still some work to do and to be done to be able to bring it all a little bit more together. “I think we should be able to be competitive, have some good pace. Hopefully we will be in the mix. Hopefully early on we will be able to go with the leaders.” Red Bull Racing is highly likely to lose touch with McLaren’s constructors championship lead, condemning its title defence. It could also find its odds of even finishing second taking a blow. Given Pérez’s central role in those disappointments, it’ll be hard to spin any result this weekend as a success.

Luigi Nicholas Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of a healthcare executive in New York City, apparently was living a charmed life: the grandson of a wealthy real estate developer, valedictorian of his elite Baltimore prep school and with degrees from one of the nation's top private universities. Friends at an exclusive co-living space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Hawaii where the 26-year-old Mangione once lived widely considered him a “great guy,” and pictures on his social media accounts show a fit, smiling, handsome young man on beaches and at parties. Now, investigators in New York and Pennsylvania are working to piece together why Mangione may have diverged from this path to make the violent and radical decision to gun down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a brazen attack on a Manhattan street. The killing sparked widespread discussions about corporate greed, unfairness in the medical insurance industry and even inspired folk-hero sentiment toward his killer. But Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro sharply refuted that perception after Mangione's arrest on Monday when a customer at a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania spotted Mangione eating and noticed he resembled the shooting suspect in security-camera photos released by New York police. “In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero. Hear me on this, he is no hero,” Shapiro said. “The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald’s this morning.” Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather, Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The Mangione family also purchased Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore in 1986. On Monday, Baltimore County police officers blocked off an entrance to the property, which public records link to Luigi Mangione’s parents. Reporters and photographers gathered outside the entrance. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione prepared his five sons — including Luigi Mangione’s father, Louis Mangione — to help manage the family business, according to a 2003 Washington Post report. Nick Mangione had 37 grandchildren, including Luigi, according to the grandfather's obituary. Luigi Mangione’s grandparents donated to charities through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating Nick Mangione’s wife’s death in 2023. They donated to various causes, including Catholic organizations, colleges and the arts. One of Luigi Mangione’s cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione, a spokesman for the lawmaker’s office confirmed. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media by Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” Mangione, who was valedictorian of his elite Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press. He learned to code in high school and helped start a club at Penn for people interested in gaming and game design, according to a 2018 story in Penn Today, a campus publication. His social media posts suggest he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. They also show him taking part in a 2019 program at Stanford University, and in photos with family and friends at the Jersey Shore and in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, and other destinations. The Gilman School, from which Mangione graduated in 2016, is one of Baltimore’s elite prep schools. The children of some of the city’s wealthiest and most prominent residents, including Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., have attended the school. Its alumni include sportswriter Frank Deford and former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. In his valedictory speech, Luigi Mangione described his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.” Mangione took a software programming internship after high school at Maryland-based video game studio Firaxis, where he fixed bugs on the hit strategy game Civilization 6, according to a LinkedIn profile. Firaxis' parent company, Take-Two Interactive, said it would not comment on former employees. He more recently worked at the car-buying website TrueCar, but has not worked there since 2023, the head of the Santa Monica, California-based company confirmed to the AP. From January to June 2022, Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. “There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, including surfing, Ryan said. “He went surfing with R.J. once but it didn’t work out because of his back,” Ryan said, but noted that Mangione and Martin often went together to a rock-climbing gym. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. An image posted to a social media account linked to Mangione showed what appeared to be an X-ray of a metal rod and multiple screws inserted into someone's lower spine. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. An X account linked to Mangione includes recent posts about the negative impact of smartphones on children; healthy eating and exercise habits; psychological theories; and a quote from Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti about the dangers of becoming “well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Mangione likely was motivated by his anger at what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed, according to a law enforcement bulletin obtained by AP. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that the profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of the suspect’s handwritten notes and social media posts. He appeared to view the targeted killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO as a symbolic takedown, asserting in his note that he is the “first to face it with such brutal honesty,” the bulletin said. Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski a “political revolutionary” and may have found inspiration from the man who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology, the document said. Associated Press reporters Lea Skene in Baltimore; Jennifer Sinco Kelleher in Honolulu; Maryclaire Dale in Philadelphia; John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio; and Michael Kunzelman in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.

The US tech giant said it now supported 550,000 jobs in the UK through direct employment, its supply chain and the economy around its App Store – with app developers having earned nearly £9 billion since it launched in 2008. Apple said its engineering teams were carrying out critical work on the firm’s biggest services, including key technology within Apple Intelligence, the iPhone maker’s suite of generative AI-powered tools which are expected to launch in the UK for the first time this week. Elsewhere, the firm said its growing TV empire, spearheaded by its Apple TV+ streaming service and production arm, had also helped boost its investment in the UK with Apple TV+ production in this country tripling in the last two years, the company said. Chief executive Tim Cook said: “We’ve been serving customers in the UK for more than 40 years, and we’re proud of our deep connection with communities across this country. “We’re thrilled to be growing our Apple teams here, and to keep supporting the extraordinary innovators, creators, and entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of technology in so many ways.” The Chancellor Rachel Reeves said companies such as Apple were “intrinsic” to the UK’s prosperity by boosting jobs. “This government is laser focused on creating the right conditions for growth to help put more money in people’s pockets. “That’s what underpins the Plan for Change and is what has driven £63 billion worth of inward investment in the UK through our first international investment summit. “Companies like Apple are intrinsic to the success of our nation’s prosperity – helping deliver jobs, innovative technology, and boost infrastructure.”

Disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner appears to be trying to mount a political comeback and has officially registered to run for an East Village City Council seat. The once-promising politician , now infamous after being brought down by two very public sexting scandals and serving time in prison for sexting a minor , filed the paperwork formalizing his status as a candidate last week after publicly toying with the idea of running for the Council seat. Weiner said Tuesday his account with the city’s campaign finance board should be considered “exploratory” and that he hasn’t yet decided on whether to actually run. Weiner said he filed the paperwork because a local Democratic club required it to be considered at a candidates forum Thursday. “So here I am,” he said. “I’m doing this one step at a time,” Weiner said in a phone interview that was interrupted multiple times as he tried to usher his dog, a pit terrier lab mix named Billy, into his apartment after returning from a walk. The race to replace Council Member Carlina Rivera , who cannot run in 2025 due to term limits, is shaping up to be among the most competitive Council races. Also in the running for the seat are current Assemblyman Harvey Epstein and Andrea Gordillo, Manhattan Community Board 3 chair. The former U.S. representative said he has some “volunteers” already working for him, but no paid staff or fundraising mechanisms at the moment. He also said that he’ll be putting out a book called “25 ideas for 25” that will be “coming out soon.” “That’ll be the next thing I’ll do and I’ll be going to places and talking to people and we’ll see what happens,” Weiner said. Weiner hasn’t held public office since 2011, when he was ousted from his congressional seat because of a sexting scandal involving multiple women, including a minor. Two years later, subsequent sexts revealed his online pseudonym “Carlos Danger” and destroyed his 2013 bid for mayor. He was later caught sending inappropriate photos to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina and eventually sentenced to around a year and a half behind bars for the incident. Weiner was previously married to Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hilary Clinton during her 2016 run against Donald Trump. Investigators reviewing Weiner’s online activity accidentally uncovered emails that led then-FBI Director James Comey to reopen an investigation of Clinton’s emails — an infamous political scandal in its own right. Weiner declined to comment on how he’d wrestle with his checkered past during a potential campaign. “Running for office is a privilege, and those who seek to represent this district must have a clear understanding of the challenges our families face,” Council member Rivera said in a statement. “The democratic process is a cornerstone of our society, and every voice matters in moving us forward. I encourage my neighbors to engage fully in the primary process and make an informed choice that will help shape a brighter future.”
