"We have a contract with Wasserman, they ensured that there was a rematch clause in there. They activated the rematch clause, it wasn't something that we necessarily wanted or put in. But they put it in and it's meant that we had to make sure that Liam doesn't take any other fights," he said...

Aussies know that anything can happen in F1. But, the fans in the Albert Park grandstands will be on their feet and cheering if Piastri can outqualify Norris. If he scores his maiden F1 points on home soil, the crowds will go bonkers! You only have to think back to 2002, when Mark Webber...

Piastri's talent is crystal clear because of those junior series titles - with F3 and F2 won back-to-back in 2020 and 2021, matching the meteoric rises of other F1 top guns like George Russell and Charles Leclerc. He's serious, adaptable, and wrung the neck of his McLaren MCL60 in Jeddah -...

The history of sport is full of competitors who didn't fulfil their potential for a variety of reasons. Piastri has an enviable record with three-straight junior titles, and impressed at the last F1 event in Saudi Arabia, but he has a long way to go. Can McLaren get its act together and build...

In reality, it's both. Lando Norris is the established star at Woking, has a deep understanding of McLaren F1 cars having raced them since he joined the grid in 2019, and has seen off challenges from Carlos Sainz and Daniel Ricciardo. So, he's a fantastic benchmark for Piastri. But, measuring...

Make no mistake, Aussies love Daniel Ricciardo - they've always seen him as he's the mate next door you'd love to have a beer with. When Ricciardo was winning with Red Bull, the PR train ran hot and he was absolutely everywhere. So, it will be more difficult for Piastri to cut through as he is...

Piastri's journey to the McLaren seat was less than ideal, with the public shocked by each new detail - like his tweet stating he wouldn't drive for Alpine in 2023. But, F1 is a ruthless sport, and Australians could see Daniel Ricciardo wasn't delivering beyond highlights like his Monza win...

Australians are right behind Oscar Piastri ahead of his home debut at Albert Park. A lot of people became fans when they tuned into his title-winning campaigns in F3 and F2 during our extended pandemic lockdowns and followed his momentum into F1. His Q3 appearance in Saudi Arabia was big...

McLaren's Oscar Piastri heads into his first home race at the Australian Grand Prix this weekend in Melbourne under the expectation by many to not just be Australia's, but Formula 1's next big thing. The Melbourne-born rookie will hope to build on his Q3 appearance in Saudi Arabia, which saw...

You feel if Wales can get an early goal in the first 20 minutes that will settle the nerves and get the crowd energised. A second goal before half-time would be a perfect script, but as mentioned earlier football doesn't always follow a written-down plan. Should Wales capitalise on their result...

Page said: "It's a quick turnaround so there's been a lot of emphasis on recovery, taking on as much information as we can in the meetings, press higher, sustain that pressure in their half. This is what we're going to try to achieve on Tuesday. "Latvia will be very disciplined, defending in a...

Once again Page has to manage his team as several players aren't getting regular time on the pitch with their clubs. Hence the substitution of Kieffer Moore for example on Saturday night. Moore is a source of goals for Wales, his record Internationally is good and with no Bale, his knack for a...

Following Gareth Bale as captain of your country is a hard act to pull off, however early signs are that Aaron Ramsey is doing the job his way. To be lucky is a great asset to have and Wales will admit to some luck in getting a point against Croatia, but you do often make your own luck. Wales...

They'd planned or perhaps hoped for a draw at best especially as they had to manage game time for several players who haven't had as much time playing at their clubs as they'd like. "We've got to be sensible as the plan was four points," he said. "With six, we'd have won the lottery. "The...

Wales will look to capitalise on their fine draw in Croatia by beating Latvia in their Euro 2024 qualifier on Tuesday; Nathan Broadhead's goal deep into stoppage time handed the team a massive boost ahead of taking on Latvia, 133rd in the FIFA world rankings and 105 places below Wales Wales...
