Drivers Couldn’t Stay On Track To Save Their Lives In F1 Mexico Practice

Drivers Couldn’t Stay On Track To Save Their Lives In F1 Mexico Practice

The first free practice session for the Formula One Mexican Grand Prix was something of a crapshoot. Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez always is a difficult track to get comfortable on, though it was made even more difficult Friday because the series has yet to race on the Mexico City track. Drivers therefore had to figure out how their 2017-spec F1 cars behave 7,500 feet above sea level, as was evident from the copious spins in FP1. Throughout the entire session, teams struggled to get their cars to work on the dirty track in thin air. As a result, everybody from Force India reserve driver Alfonso Celis, to three-time world champion Lewis Hamilton had a corner g... NESN.com

Lewis Hamilton Knows Tiger Named Enzo; It Weirdly Isn’t Ferrari F1 Fan

Share this: To car fans, Enzo is the name of a supercar, which was the fastest road-going Ferrari in its day. But in the world of Formula One, Enzo is the name of the man who founded Scuderia Ferrari; unless you’re Lewis Hamilton, in which case it’s the name of a jungle cat. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver posted a picture to Instagram on Tuesday of a white tiger that he said is named Enzo. Despite sharing his name with “Il Commendatore” himself, Enzo clearly isn’t a fan of the Scuderia. We doubt Enzo has ever watched a Grand Prix, unless he gets cable, so we’re not surprised he’s TeamLH. Enzo lives at The Black Jaguar-White Tiger Foundation animal sanctuary in Mexico, where Hamilton has visited in the past. [embedded content] Maybe Kimi Raikkonen

Carlos Asuaje’s Mom Tweets At Padres To Check On Her Son During Game

Carlos Asuaje’s Mom Tweets At Padres To Check On Her Son During Game

All of our parents embarrass us at some point in our lives, but it usually doesn’t happen during a Major League Baseball game. Second baseman Carlos Asuaje, who was among the players the Boston Red Sox shipped to San Diego for closer Craig Kimbrel ahead of the 2016 season, started for the Padres on Wednesday in their split-squad spring training game against the Colorado Rockies. The 25-year-old still is pretty new to the big leagues — he made his MLB debut and appeared in just seven games last season — so his mother apparently has been keeping a close eye on him. So when Asuaje was taken out of the game, which wasn’t televised,
