Verstappen earns hard-fought 50th career F1 victory at the US Grand Prix; Hamilton DQ from 2nd

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:22 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — In a season of easy victories, career win No. 50 finally made Max Verstappen sweat.Even if it was just a little bit.Verstappen had to work through the field after starting sixth instead of from pole position, then held off the charging Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton over the final laps in the Texas heat to win the United States Grand Prix on Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas. Hamilton’s best finish in five months was wiped out when he and sixth-place finisher Charles Leclerc of Ferrari were disqualified more than three hours after the race for rules violations found with the skid blocks under their cars.Verstappen’s record-tying 15th win of the season also made the Dutch driver just the fifth Formula One driver in history to reach 50 in a career. Hamilton has the most with 103. Verstappen has four races left this season to leap over Alain Post (51) and Sebastian Vettel (53) for third. Michael Schumacher has 91.“It’s a great number,” Verstappen ...

Chargers’ Justin Herbert melts under Chiefs pressure in loss at Kansas City

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:22 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert spent more time looking at the sky than downfield at his wide receivers on Sunday.Herbert was sacked five times by Kansas City’s suddenly stingy defense, and even when the Chiefs failed to get to him, they had a disrupting impact on his game. Charles Omenihu tipped a pass that was picked off in the red zone, and the defense nearly got to Herbert again in the fourth quarter, when his second interception clinched a 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.“I thought we came out well in the first half and moved the ball,” Herbert said. “We have to execute better in the second half. We have to put up points in the second half. The defense made some big stops, so it’s on us as an offense to be there for them.”It was a stunning meltdown by the Chargers offensive line, which had allowed 10 sacks total through the first five games, and only the third time Herbert had been sacked five times in game. One of the others came against Kansas City ...

Mahomes throws for 424 yards and 4 TDs, Kelce has big day as Chiefs beat Chargers 31-17

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:22 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — If anybody should know how to stop Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, it should probably be the Los Angeles Chargers and the rest of the AFC West, who get two cracks at beating the Kansas City Chiefs every season.The familiarity hasn’t seemed to help.Mahomes threw for 424 yards and four touchdowns, Kelce caught 12 passes for 179 yards and a score, and the Chiefs beat the Chargers 31-17 on Sunday to seize command of a division they have won seven straight years. Mahomes also improved to 29-3 against teams from the AFC West, which Kansas City already leads by three games just seven weeks into the season.“I think both Kelce and Pat, when they’re on the same page, that’s a challenge for any defense,” said Chiefs coach Andy Reid, whose team became the first Super Bowl champion to lose its season opener and then rip off six straight wins.“I know they work on it. This isn’t, like, a secret,” Reid continued. “It’s quite a tribute for thos...

Argentina Economy Minister Sergio Massa leads populist Javier Milei in presidential vote count

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:22 GMT

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — With 76% of the votes counted, Economy Minister Sergio Massa took an early lead in Argentina’s presidential election Sunday, with 35.9%.Right-wing populist Javier Milei was in second, at 30.5%.In order to win outright and avoid a Nov. 19 runoff, a candidate needed to get 45% of the vote, or 40% with a 10-point lead over the runner-up.Because the voting was conducted by paper ballots, the timing of full results was unpredictable.The highly polarized election will determine whether South America’s second-largest economy will continue with a center-left administration or elect one of the right-leaning leaders who both promised profound changes to a country plagued by triple-digit inflation and rising poverty. Former Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, the other right-wing candidate, was trailing well behind Massa and Milei in ethe arly results.In the run-up to the vote, Milei, who has been a lawmaker in Argentina’s lower house of Congress since 2021, was...

Alex DeBrincat notches hat trick as the Red Wings win fifth straight by downing Flames 6-2

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:22 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Alex DeBrincat continued his hot start with his fifth career hat trick and the Detroit Red Wings extended their winning streak to five games by defeating road-weary Calgary 6-2 on Sunday.DeBrincat, acquired in an offseason trade with Ottawa, increased his season goal total to a league-high eight. “I’ve played with a lot of great players in my career, and I’ve tried to watch them and see where they go and learn some things from all of them,” DeBrincat said. “I think it is a little bit of that and a little bit of natural instincts. I was always smaller than everyone else, so I had to find different ways to score other than powering to the net.”Joe Veleno scored his third goal in two games and Dylan Larkin supplied a goal and an assist. Jake Walman scored his first goal this season, while Justin Holl and Lucas Raymond added three assists apiece. James Reimer made 29 saves for the Red Wings. Detroit was playing the second game of a back-to-back after winning at Ottawa on ...

La presidenta de una sinagoga de Detroit que fue asesinada a puñaladas dentro de su casa fue recordada el domingo por familiares, amigos y altos funcionarios de Michigan como una líder generosa y atenta que construyó puentes entre comunidades.Mientras los dolientes se congregaban para despedir a Samantha Woll, la policía dijo que en la investigación en curso no se ha hallado evidencia de que el motivo haya sido el antisemitismo.Conocida como “Sam” entre sus amigos y familiares, Woll presidía la Sinagoga Isaac Agree Downtown, y fue miembro del equipo de campaña de la fiscal general de Michigan, Dana Nessel, y excolaboradora de la representante demócrata Elissa Slotkin.“Querías tanto la paz para este mundo. Luchaste por todos sin importar quiénes fueran o de dónde vinieran”, dijo Monica Woll Rosen, dirigiéndose a su difunta hermana ante los dolientes congregados en una funeraria judía. “Fuiste la definición de una líder. Nuestro mundo está destrozado sin ti”.El cuerpo de Woll, de 40 a...
