4 d. ago Megyn Kelly puts Trump clash behind her to ride the Maga media wave

The former Fox News host once branded ‘nasty’ by Trump is now a cheerleader for him and her podcast is surging in the rightwing media-sphereIt was the night before a US presidential election that Donald Trump had called the most important in history. Who could close the deal at his campaign rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania? The answer was Megyn Kelly. Trump “will keep the boys out of girls’ sports where they don’t belong”, the rightwinger podcaster said to rapturous applause. “And you know what else? He will look out for our boys, too. Our forgotten boys and our forgotten men.”Turning around and pointing at Trump supporters wearing hard hats, Kelly eulogised guys “who’ve got the calluses on their hands, who work for a living, the beards and the tats, maybe have a beer after work, and don’t want to be judged by people like Oprah and Beyoncé, who will never have to face the consequences of her [Kamala Harris’s] disastrous economic policies.

F1 governing body to relax its hardline stance‘It was so ridiculous in the first place’George Russell has dismissed the FIA’s decision to back down from its hard line on driver swearing as ridiculous and suggested it was a ploy by the governing body’s president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, to garner support before he stands for re-election this December, while Lewis Hamilton described the situation at the FIA as “a mess”.On Wednesday, the FIA announced it was to relax the strict stance against drivers using bad language which it has pursued relentlessly, apparently at Ben Sulayem’s request, for the past eight months. The president stated before the Singapore GP last year he did not want drivers to swear and the FIA imposed a new sliding scale of fines which could have also led to a ban for infringements at the start of this season. However, the organisation backtracked before this weekend’s Imola Grand Prix. The maximum fine has now been drastically reduced and the prospect of a ban remov...

2 w. ago Norris aggression backed by McLaren despite it proving costly in Miami

Norris dropped four places trying to pass Verstappen‘I quite like to Lando aggressive,’ says Andrea StellaLando Norris’s aggressive approach to battling the world champion, Max Verstappen, has received the backing of his McLaren team despite it likely costing the British driver a shot at victory at the Miami Grand Prix.Norris started in second place behind Verstappen but was squeezed wide after trying to dive past the Red Bull through the turn one and two sequence, went off and dropped to sixth.
