Piastri gets his own grandstand for 2026 Australian GP
MELBOURNE, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Formula One leader Oscar Piastri will have a grandstand named after him at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix next year, by which time the McLaren driver could be returning home as world champion. The Melbourne-born 24-year-old, who has yet to stand on the Albert Park podium in three attempts, leads British teammate Lando Norris by nine points after 14 of the season's 24 rounds. Piastri has already won more races in a single season than any other Australian driver since the world championship started in 1950, with six so far this year along with three second places. "It feels very surreal and I never thought this would happen but the support is incredible and I can't wait to see it all come together next March," he said in an Australian Grand Prix statement. The stand will be on the main straight, opposite the pit lane, with the existing Fangio grandstand expanded and sectioned in two. Champions Jack Brabham and Alan Jones, along with retired F1 drivers Mark Webber and Daniel Ricciardo, also have stands named after them.

New favourite to be first Premier League manager sacked as odds slashed
It was a bruising opening weekend of the Premier League season for a number of teams and one manager already appears to be under a lot of pressure. The heaviest defeat of the weekend was for Wolves as they were thrashed 4-0 at home by Manchester City, as Pep Guardiola's team suggested they will be a force once again. However, it was West Ham's 3-0 loss at Sunderland that really caught the eye as the newly promoted side swept aside the Hammers. It was a nightmare start to the campaign for West Ham boss Graham Potter and the bookmakers have already installed him as the new favourite to be the next manager to leave their post in the top flight. These things can and do change very quickly as before a ball was kicked this season it was Leeds boss Daniel Farke who was favourite in this market. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. The Yorkshire club get their season underway on Monday night against Everton and if they were to lose heavily then Farke may well reclaim the shortest odds on offer. For now, though, it is Potter who is under most pressure thanks to the three second half goals at the Stadium of Light which sent the Hammers back to London with their tails between their legs. Speaking to Sky Sports of the shock heavy defeat, Potter said: 'Very disappointing. The second half was not good from us in terms of the basics. 'First half was quite good, we controlled the crowd and were unfortunate not to score. The first goal was always going to be important. Basics of football we have to really improve. 'It is the first day, we know these things can happen as much as we don't like it to happen. We have a big game on Friday, we have to react and do a lot better.' Graham Potter 5/2 Keith Andrews 11/4 Scott Parker 8/1 Nuno Espirito Santo 8/1 Ruben Amorim 10/1 Daniel Farke 12/1 Vitor Pereira 12/1 Oliver Glasner 16/1 Eddie Howe 16/1 Regis Le Bris 16/1 Marco Silva 20/1 Andoni Iraola 25/1 Mikel Arteta 33/1 Fabian Hurzeler 33/1 Enzo Maresca 33/1 David Moyes 33/1 Thomas Frank 33/1 Pep Guardiola 40/1 Unai Emery 50/1 Arne Slot 100/1 Odds courtesy of talkSPORT Bet New Brentford boss Keith Andrews also saw his odds cut in the 'next manager to leave' market after a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. It has been a very difficult summer for the Bees as former boss Thomas Frank left for Tottenham, star striker Bryan Mbeumo was sold to Manchester United and captain Christian Norgaard moved to Arsenal. Yoane Wissa was also not involved at the City Ground on Sunday as he continues to be linked with a move to Newcastle. Andrews is in his first job as a manger and it is a tough one after the losses the club has suffered. 'It was always going to be difficult but we made it harder for ourselves,' the Irishman said after defeat at Forest. 'We knew their strengths and we knew the problems they would cause. Set-pieces were always going to be a threat. More Trending 'Get back to basics. Basics in the game is a dirty word at times, but you have to have an edge and do the ugly side of the game and compete as a team. I didn't think we did that. 'I saw it a lot in the first half and it's something we need to address. The second half was a lot better on a lot of fronts.' West Ham and Brentford have the chance to improve their early-season fortunes in front of their home fans this weekend. The Hammers host Chelsea on Friday night while the Bees play Aston Villa at 3pm on Saturday.
