F1 Expert Issues Crucial Warning Amid Lewis Hamilton Retirement Buzz originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As speculation continues to swirl around Lewis Hamilton's future in Formula 1, Sky Sports commentator David Croft has stepped in with a strong statement and a warning. Advertisement 'Lewis will be around next year. He's not going anywhere,' Croft firmly said on the Sky F1 Show, addressing recent retirement chatter. While fans and experts alike have raised eyebrows at Hamilton's recent form, Croft insists it's too soon to write off the seven-time world champion. Hamilton's switch to Ferrari has yet to deliver the fireworks some expected. Despite flashes of brilliance, most notably in the Chinese Grand Prix sprint, where he looked 'an absolute world-beater,' according to Croft recent performances have left many wanting more. At the Spanish Grand Prix, Hamilton struggled for race pace. Croft added that Ferrari acknowledged an unspecified issue with Hamilton's car during the final phase in Barcelona, which may have contributed to his drop-off. 'If there was something fundamentally wrong with the car, then that offers a morale boost to Lewis,' he said. Lewis Hamilton during previews ahead of the Monaco the pressure is mounting.

Gordie Howe's final NHL goal gets a historic change 45 years later
Proponents of video review in hockey argue that they just want to get the call right, no matter how long it takes. Those folks will be happy to know that the NHL's longest scoring review has finally reached a conclusion, and it looks like the league got this one right. It just took 45 years. The review in question was on the final goal — No. 801 — of Gordie Howe's legendary career. Scored on April 9, 1980, for the Hartford Whalers against the Canadiens in the playoffs, Mr. Hockey took a pass from his son, Mark, and beat goaltender Denis Herron to cut Montreal's lead to 8-4. The goal would go down as Howe from Howe. How romantic. Only one problem. The scorer ignored the pass from Whalers goaltender John 'Cheech' Garrett to Mark Howe. 6 Gordie Howe controls the puck before his score. @thirdeyeordie8226/YouTube Garrett, who would play in 207 NHL games before an illustrious career as a broadcaster for the Canucks, didn't initially launch an appeal to the league, but he's been vocal about getting the assist added to his ledger for nearly half a century. In an interview on Sportsnet's 'After Hours' in 2023, Garrett continued his appeal. 6 Goalie John Garrett didn't credit for an assist for 45 years. @thirdeyeordie8226/YouTube 6 Moments before Howe scored. @thirdeyeordie8226/YouTube 'That's a hard pass,' Garrett said in the interview. 'Mark takes it, Mark gives it to Gordie, Gordie scores this beautiful goal. How can I not get an assist on that? I phoned Benny Ercolani — he's now retired, but Benny was the statistician for the league.' Garrett said he didn't complain immediately after the game because of how it would have looked after he conceded eight goals in a loss. But as the years went on, the man known as 'Cheech' used his platform as a broadcaster to raise awareness for his cause. He also had plenty of support from Canucks fans, who launched a social media campaign supporting Garrett's quest back in 2013. 6 John Garrett during a 1982 game. Getty Images All the lobbying has finally paid off. During the second intermission of Game 2 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, 'Hockey Night in Canada' broadcaster Ron MacLean announced the league was finally awarding Garrett with an assist on Mr. Hockey's final goal. 'Colin Campbell of the NHL has begged all of you former NHLers, please do not be writing the league looking for credit on an assist,' joked MacLean. 'They are adding one to the record books, and this is a beauty.' 'John Garrett was denied official status for this assist. He moves the puck. In the record books, it just has Howe from Mark. It did not feature Cheech's assist. It will, forevermore.' 6 Gordie Howe #9 and Mark Howe #5 of the Hartford Whalers look on against the Montreal Canadiens.
