Lewis Hamilton to start Belgian GP from pit lane after taking new power unit
Lewis Hamilton will start from the pit lane for today's Belgian Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion has endured a troubled weekend at Spa-Francorchamps and had been due to start 16th after he was eliminated in Q1. However, Hamilton's Ferrari team have confirmed he will start at the back of the pack after taking on a new power unit. Hamilton described his performances so far this weekend as 'unacceptable' after he started 18th and finished only 15th in the sprint race earlier and then failed to progress to Q2 in qualifying for Sunday's main event. Hamilton's best lap was chalked off by the stewards after he ran all four wheels of his Ferrari off the circuit at Raidillon. 'I don't agree (with the stewards' decision), but I'm out,' said the 40-year-old. 'It was another mistake from my side and I have to look internally. 'I have to apologise to my team because it is just unacceptable to be out in both Q1s this weekend. A very, very poor performance.' Hamilton is without a podium for Ferrari – the deepest he has ever gone into a season without a top-three finish.

Game-changer Chloe Kelly is unrivalled in delivering England's biggest moments
This England team are doing their best to move the needle on the nation's life expectancy. Another desperate situation at this European Championship which required an improbable rescue mission. Another painfully late use of substitutions. But never fear, it is Chloe Kelly o'clock. The Arsenal winger thrives in these situations yet against Italy on Tuesday night the early signs were not promising. Her prime chance to make a difference was a 94th-minute corner, England's sixth of the second half. Kelly pull-hooked it over the byline and straight into the side netting. Instead it was a new challenger for the title of 'day-saver-in-chief' who rescued England, Michelle Agyemang scoring her second late equaliser in as many games. You can NEVER watch 96th minute limbs too many times 😏 — ITV Football (@itvfootball) July 23, 2025 There would still be a role for Kelly. When Beth Mead went down and Ivana Martincic pointed to the spot it looked liked Lucy Bronze would take the resulting penalty. It was misdirection, Kelly was the only candidate. ITV commentator Seb Hutchinson called her 'fearless', ominously. Kelly did look remarkably relaxed but fate had been sufficiently tempted and her penalty was saved. Then, of course, she was quickest to the follow-up and found an exemplary finish before a 'calm down' celebration for anyone feeling a sudden tight sensation across their chest. Who else? 🥶 🏴 Chloe Kelly wins it for England in the 119th minute 😤 #WEURO2025 — UEFA Women's EURO 2025 (@WEURO2025) July 22, 2025 It was the latest contribution to Kelly's portfolio of critical interventions on the biggest stages. She is making a convincing argument for herself as the most 'clutch' footballer of her generation. If unfamiliar with the American sport discourse which popularised the term, it refers to athletes who reliably perform well under pressure. There is some suggestion that it originated roughly 100 years ago, abstractly referring to the seizing motion of a car's clutch as it brings together parts when it is most necessary. Kelly's clutch reputation is unusual, as we usually associate it with the highest echelon of stars. It is what separates Michael Jordan from Karl Malone, Serena Williams from Jelena Jankovic. Instead Kelly has done it as a super-sub. Hop, skip and thump penalty technique First was her winning goal against Germany in the 2022 Euros final, poking in a corner during extra time to win the nation's first international tournament since 1966. Amazing night for football tonight, here's that moment Chloe Kelly scored, a goal will all remember forever. And with 22 goals they also take the title of most goals ever scored in the Euro finals from, wait for #Lionesses — Yorkshire Bylines (@YorksBylines) July 31, 2022 At the World Cup a year later Kelly settled a trademark tense shoot-out with her trademark hop, skip and thump penalty technique. The ball might still be travelling had the net not been there. Iconic penalties. Trademark Chloe Kelly. 💥 Some things never change. 👌 @Lionesses | #FIFAWWC — FIFA Women's World Cup (@FIFAWWC) July 18, 2025 There was her winning penalty against Brazil in the Finalissima and her game-turning toil out wide to save last week's quarter-final against Sweden, before scoring another penalty in the shoot-out (below). Then the goal that sent England to a third consecutive final. One or two moments like these might be coincidental; this litany is conclusive. How does she compare to other English contenders for the clutch crown across the women's and men's game?

Women's Euro 2025 prize money: How much will England or Spain receive if they win?
THE Lionesses are playing in their third consecutive major final against world champions Spain. While there is a chance to make history, as they could become the second national team in history to defend their title at the Women's Euros, there is also a game-changing prize pot up for grabs. 3 How much will England or Spain receive if they win? If the Lionesses can defend their trophy against world champions Spain, in the rematch of the 2023 World Cup final, they will send shockwaves through the footballing landscape. Before the start of this year's tournament, it was confirmed by Uefa that the 16 teams could secure a record prize pot of €41million (£34million). It was a record move and saw an increase of 156% in the prize money offered at the previous Women's Euro in 2022. When Sarina Wiegman's England won the tournament in 2022, beating Germany to lift the trophy for the first time, the prize pot was only €16million. 3 It means that if England win the tournament on Sunday, they will take home up to €5.1million, over double the €2million they were awarded in 2022. This top prize money also includes performance bonuses, which are added onto the €1.8million participation fee that is awarded to all teams involved in the tournament. Are the men and women paid the same? While the women have seen massive advancements in terms of equality both in national and international tournaments, the divide between the men's and women's remains large. At the men's Euro 2024, the prize pot was a whopping €331million, which is spread across the 24 teams involved. It meant that the tournament champions, Spain, won €28.25million, a figure which is just over €10million more than the total pot of the women. 3 What's more, the participation prize money for each team stood at €9.25million. Safe to say there's a way to go before complete equality at the international level. Ian Wright goes crazy as England star Agyemang's saves England's women at Euros Are England's players paid per match? In another major move for Uefa, they also confirmed that teams had to distribute between 30 to 40% of their prize money received at the tournament to the players. This was the first time this rule came into effect at the Euros and reflected the decision made by Fifa ahead of the Women's World Cup. As a result, England's players receive what is essentially a nominal fee of around £2,000 per match, which is the same as the men. England men and women have been paid the same for their match fees since 2020. According to The Guardian, the women will also receive a collective bonus of £1.75million if they win Euro 2025. On the other hand, it was reported that the men's team, which reached the Euro 2024 final last summer, would have shared a bonus pot of £14million had they beaten Spain in the Berlin final.
