Fernando Alonso Backs Hamilton: "He Can Turn Things Around Quickly"
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton has struggled in the first half of the 2025 Formula One season, though former teammate Fernando Alonso backed Hamilton to rediscover his form. When Hamilton broke into F1, his first teammate was Fernando Alonso, a top-tier, established driver on the grid. Alonso got a first-hand account of Hamilton's abilities early on, and while they would naturally develop into rivals, a mutual respect for their abilities matured. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari speaks in the Drivers Press Conference during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 12, 2025 in Montreal, Quebec. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari speaks in the Drivers Press Conference during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 12, 2025 in Montreal, Quebec. Photo byThe Spanish driver is uniquely suited to speak about what Hamilton is going through, being one of the older drivers on the grid, like Hamilton, and having driven for the famed Scuderia. "What's wrong with him? I have no idea. Lewis is a great driver; on tracks like Canada, he's capable of exploiting all his strengths," Alonso told the media in Montreal. "After 24 races, we'll do the math: he's struggling now, but he can turn things around very quickly. "I don't think the situation has changed much compared to last year with Russell. Then, the Mercedes was apparently difficult to drive and Russell was more comfortable. This year seems to be the same. But it's difficult to give an opinion without having all the information." Through the first nine races, Hamilton scored 71 points, which is good for sixth place in the driver standings. Ferrari, despite their woes, are in second place with regards to the constructors' standings, though already nearly 200 points down on the leading McLaren team. Considering how the car has stacked up to the rest of the field, Ferrari should be happy about where they stand, but pre-season expectations were set much higher than where the driver and team are now. Hamilton, a seven-time World Champion, made the shocking decision to leave his long-time home at Mercedes to achieve his dream of driving for Ferrari. Arguably the biggest driver joining the historic team naturally came with a lot of hype and anticipation. Many expected both to hit the ground running in 2025, fighting for both titles, but in reality, Ferrari is still looking for their first race win of the season. His track record consistently shows Hamilton has overcome any adversity he faced. In the latest chapter of his career, he will need to do the same once again.

Fabrizio Romano: Atletico Make Unexpected Move for Liverpool Star
Atletico Madrid Eye Surprise Move for Andy Robertson As Liverpool prepare for a major summer shake-up under Arne Slot, one of the club's most consistent performers could be heading for the exit. In a surprising twist, Fabrizio Romano reports that Atletico Madrid have made Andy Robertson their top target at left-back, casting fresh doubt over the Scot's future at Anfield. Robertson on Atletico's Radar Romano reveals that Atletico, having cooled their interest in AC Milan's Theo Hernandez, have now turned their attention to Robertson – a move that no one quite saw coming. With Milos Kerkez expected to arrive and Kostas Tsimikas long seen as the likely departure, this development flips the script entirely. Robertson, 30, has been a mainstay for Liverpool since arriving from Hull City in 2017. His intensity, overlapping runs, and defensive reliability helped drive the Reds to Champions League and Premier League glory under Jürgen Klopp. Yet, in football, timing is everything – and this summer, the winds of change are sweeping through Merseyside. Precedents Set in Madrid Should Robertson make the move to Spain, he wouldn't be the first Premier League full-back to swap the UK for the Spanish capital. We have seen players such as Kieran Trippier, Matt Doherty and of course Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer leave for Spain in recent times. Advertisement Though Robertson is still a first team regular, his performance levels have dropped from his peak of the early Klopp days, so it could be an interesting move for the Scotsman – especially as he's never played outside the UK before. The physical demands of English football have taken a toll, and La Liga might offer a different tactical test with potentially less wear-and-tear. What It Means for Liverpool If Robertson leaves, it will mark the end of an era. But Liverpool aren't unprepared. The arrival of Jeremie Frimpong and the expected signing of Kerkez show clear intent to rejuvenate the full-back positions. Slot's system may demand different attributes – quicker ball movement, inverted full-backs, or even a new tactical shape that doesn't rely as heavily on Robertson's trademark overlaps. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis From a Liverpool fan's perspective, this is a bittersweet moment. Andy Robertson is one of our most loved and loyal servants of the Klopp era. His passion, grit, and engine down the left flank symbolised everything we admired about this team. Seeing his name linked with a move abroad is hard to process, but it may be the right time – for him and for us. Advertisement If we're honest, Robbo hasn't looked quite the same since the 2021-22 campaign. Injuries, fatigue, and tactical shifts have taken their toll. In Arne Slot's system, full-backs might play more conservatively or differently – and someone like Milos Kerkez, younger and more dynamic, could suit the future better. There's also something respectful about this potential exit. Atletico Madrid is no step down. Playing under Simeone, in La Liga, and competing in the Champions League is a challenge worthy of Robertson's pedigree. He could follow in the footsteps of Kieran Trippier and rejuvenate his career abroad while opening a new chapter for Liverpool. As Reds, we'll always honour Robbo's contribution. If he does go, it must be on the club's terms – and for the right price. But he'll leave with our gratitude and respect, knowing he helped build something special at Anfield.

Shane Lowry has hot-mic meltdown during disastrous US Open performance: ‘F–k this place'
Shane Lowry likely won't be used in any promotional materials for Oakmont Country Club. The 38-year-old Irishman had a hot-mic meltdown during Friday's U.S. Open at the Pittsburgh-area course after missing a close putt for par on his fourth hole en route to his 17-over par finish. Advertisement 'F–k this place,' Lowry said before tapping in the bogey to place him at 14-over. 'F–k this place.' Oakmont is known for being a course that can mess with some of the world's best and this year's edition has been no different. Lowry missed the cut by posting a 79-78 in his 36 holes, joining the likes of Phil Mickelson (8-over), 2016 winner Dustin Johnson (10-over) and 2024 champion Bryson DeChambeau (10-over) as standouts who will not be in action Saturday. In 2016, Lowry had a much better run at the course by finishing tied for second with a 1-under showing. Advertisement 4 Lowry misses the putt for par. @MattBellner/X Warning: NSFW language He didn't come close to replicating his effort this year. Advertisement Lowry bogeyed five holes and double bogeyed three times while finishing 9-over during his first 18 holes, before bogeying five holes again and double bogeying a pair to tally an 8-over mark Friday. Thursday's action featured Lowry taking out his frustrations on a microphone at the 17th hole after he could not get his ball out of the rough. The broadcast captured Lowry seemingly smacking the microphone. Advertisement 4 Lowry missed the cut after posting a 17-over score. @MattBellner/X Friday also featured Lowry making a mental blunder when he grabbed his ball on the 14th hole but failed to put his marker down, resulting in a one-stroke violation. 'Probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done,' Lowry said with a laugh, per Yahoo. 'I picked the ball up, had the ball in my hand, turned around to (caddie) Darren (Reynolds) and he basically said to me, 'What the f–k are you doing?' … By then, maybe my mind was somewhere else.' This poor showing comes after Lowry finished second in a pair of events this year, including the Truist Championship last month. He acknowledged before the tournament began that Oakmont can be 'exhausting.' 4 Shane Lowry finished second in the 2016 U.S. Open. Getty Images 'I don't know to be honest,' Lowry said of his showing, per Yahoo. 'I drove it in play a lot (Thursday), did what I was supposed to do off the tee, and then just didn't have my game that I've had for the last while. And then I really struggled on the greens (Thursday), and the round got away from me out here, and that was it. Advertisement 'They let it sort of do what they said it wouldn't do, but that's all fine, that's the U.S. Open. I just made obviously too many doubles, too many big mistakes, and then when I got a couple chances, I didn't convert them. I didn't really do much right to be honest, other than I drove the ball as good as I've probably driven the ball in a long time. So, yeah, weird couple of days.' 4 Shane Lowry had been playing well entering the tournament. Getty Images Sam Burns is the course's leader at 3-under entering Saturday's action, while the scorching Scottie Scheffler needs a run at 4-over.
