Oscar Piastri beats McLaren team-mate Lando Norris to Spanish Grand Prix pole
Oscar Piastri delivered a hammer blow to Lando Norris's bid to win back-to-back races by seeing off his title rival to take a commanding pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix. Piastri holds a three-point championship lead over Norris, and the Australian delivered in qualifying to beat the British driver by an impressive 0.209 seconds at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya - the biggest pole margin of the season so far. World champion Max Verstappen took third place for Red Bull, one spot clear of Mercedes' George Russell. Verstappen and Russell set identical times with the former taking the higher grid slot after setting his time first. Lewis Hamilton qualified fifth with Kimi Antonelli sixth for Mercedes and Charles Leclerc, who completed just one quick lap in Q3, seventh. McLaren have won six of the eight rounds so far, and their rivals might have hoped that a clampdown on flexible front wings - which some believe has contributed to the British team's rise - would slow them down. However, the rule tweak has done little to influence McLaren's speed, with Piastri and Norris embroiled in a tense battle for pole. Norris secured top spot in Monaco a week ago before going on to claim his first win since March's season-opening round in Melbourne. He ended the first runs here in Q3 holding a slender 0.017 sec margin over his team-mate. Norris enjoyed a tow off Piastri's McLaren with the Australian calling his team-mate's antics "cheeky". The McLaren duo returned for a final shot at pole and although Norris improved on his first lap, it was Piastri who lit up the timesheets by taking his fourth pole of the season by two tenths. "I am very happy," said Piastri. "It didn't start off in the best way. I was struggling but I found pace and the car has been mega. "I improved quite a lot in Turn 1 on my second lap and it all came together. It wasn't the perfect lap. It is going to be an interesting one tomorrow and I am pretty glad I am starting from pole." Norris said: "Oscar drove very well. The pace was there but I made a few mistakes." Hamilton called his car "undriveable" in practice on Friday, but he will take comfort from out-qualifying Leclerc for the first time since the second round in China, albeit half-a-second back from Piastri. Home favourite Carlos Sainz qualified a disappointing 18th while Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda will prop up the grid after he clocked the slowest time with just eight tenths separating first to last in Q1.

Real Madrid is world's most valuable soccer team with Manchester United second
LaLiga side Real Madrid topped the list of the most valuable soccer teams in the world for the fourth year in a row with a valuation of $6.6bn (€5.82bn), business magazine Forbes has said. Real became the first soccer club to bring in €1bn in a single year after they posted a record $1.13bn (€1bn) in revenue for the 2023-24 season, the magazine added. The Spanish club, the second sports team in history to hit the 10-figure threshold after National Football League side Dallas Cowboys, are the first soccer team to register €1bn in revenue in a single season, Deloitte had said earlier this year. England's Manchester United are second in Forbes' list with a $6.6bn valuation after generating $834m (€734m) in revenue in the 2023-24 season despite a forgettable Premier League campaign where they finished eighth. Real's LaLiga rivals Barcelona are third, valued at $5.65bn (€4.98bn), while Liverpool and Manchester City are fourth and fifth. Forbes named six Premier League sides among the top 10 most valuable teams with Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea making the list after Bayern Munich and Paris St Germain. "Together, the 30 most valuable soccer teams are worth more than $72bn, or an average of $2.4bn, up 5% from 2024's record $2.26bn," Forbes said. Reuters
