Ferrari boss backs frustrated Hamilton after tough Hungarian GP

Ferrari boss backs frustrated Hamilton after tough Hungarian GP

LEWIS Hamilton received strong backing from Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur after a difficult Hungarian Grand Prix, where the Briton finished a disappointing 12th. While teammate Charles Leclerc secured pole but struggled with mechanical issues, Hamilton battled in the midfield, ending where he started. Hamilton’s frustration was evident after qualifying, where he exited in Q2 and admitted feeling “completely useless.” His struggles have fueled speculation about his adaptation to Ferrari following his high-profile move from Mercedes. However, Vasseur dismissed concerns over Hamilton’s motivation. “I don’t need to motivate him,“ said Vasseur. “Honestly, he’s frustrated, but not demotivated. He’s demanding, but I think it’s also why he’s a seven-time world champion. I can perfectly understand this situation.” The Ferrari boss acknowledged the emotional reactions common in high-pressure sports, comparing them to outbursts seen in football. “Sometimes, just after the race or qualifying, you are very disappointed, and the first reaction is harsh,“ he added. Vasseur pointed out that Hamilton’s struggles were exaggerated by the narrow margins in qualifying. “For sure, when you are a seven-time world champion, your teammate is on pole, and you are out in Q2, it’s tough,“ he said. “But overall, we were not far from having both cars out in Q2.” Leclerc also supported his teammate, calling Hamilton’s struggles a “one-off” and predicting a stronger second half of the season. “I have no doubt he will bounce back,“ said Leclerc. Hamilton, currently sixth in the standings, is looking forward to the summer break before the Dutch Grand Prix later this month. - AFP

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot wins women’s Tour de France in historic solo victory

FRENCH cyclist Pauline Ferrand-Prevot secured a historic victory in the women’s Tour de France, crossing the finish line alone in the ninth and final stage through the Alps. The 33-year-old Visma rider, who returned to road racing last year, claimed the overall title with a commanding lead of 3 minutes and 42 seconds over Dutch competitor Demi Vollering. Ferrand-Prevot’s triumph marks the first time a French rider has won the modern edition of the women’s Tour de France, now in its fourth iteration. She becomes the first home champion since Jeannie Longo in 1989, when the race was known as the Tour de France Feminin. “I came back on the road after my Olympic title, and I said I will try to win the Tour de France in the next three years,“ said Ferrand-Prevot. “So here I am, the first one! It was an amazing season with my team.” The Olympic mountain bike champion, who also won Paris-Roubaix earlier this season, dominated the final Alpine stage near the Swiss border. Poland’s Katarzyna Niewiadoma, last year’s winner, finished third overall, trailing by 4 minutes and 9 seconds. Ferrand-Prevot, who holds 15 world titles across multiple cycling disciplines, described the victory as “the goal of her life as an athlete.” French President Emmanuel Macron celebrated her achievement on social media, calling it “a resounding victory” that turned “difficulty into national pride.” The win caps a remarkable season for Ferrand-Prevot, who shifted focus to road racing after seven years in mountain biking. She also earned her first Olympic gold last year in Paris during the mountain bike cross-country event. - AFP

$7,500 reward for suspect in Montana bar shooting that killed 4

THE U.S. Marshals Service has announced a $7,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of Michael Brown, the suspect accused of fatally shooting four people in a Montana bar before disappearing into the surrounding mountains. State Attorney General Austin Knudsen provided updates during a visit to Anaconda, where the shooting occurred. Brown, 45, allegedly entered the Owl Bar on Friday morning armed with a rifle, killing bartender Nancy Lauretta Kelley, 64, and patrons Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59, David Allen Leach, 70, and Tony Wayne Palm, 74. A stolen pickup truck used in the escape was later recovered, but Brown remains at large. Authorities last spotted him during a brief chase two hours after the shooting. Knudsen described Brown as “extremely dangerous” and likely still armed with the murder weapon. Investigators released a photo of Brown barefoot and clad only in black underpants, descending concrete steps with visible scrapes on his body. Knudsen confirmed the image was taken after Brown discarded clothing and belongings near the crime scene. The manhunt involves 250 officers and focuses on mountainous terrain west of Anaconda. “We are acting under the assumption that he is alive, well armed, and extremely dangerous,“ Knudsen stated. The $7,500 reward may increase as the search continues. – Reuters
