Motor racing-Hamilton's Belgian GP nightmare gets worse
Formula One F1 - Belgian Grand Prix - Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Stavelot, Belgium - July 26, 2025 Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton during qualifying REUTERS/Manon Cruz/Pool SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (Reuters) -Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, last year's winner with Mercedes, failed to get through the first phase of Belgian Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday after his best lap was deleted for exceeding track limits. The seven-times world champion, who has yet to stand on the podium since his move to Ferrari at the end of last season, will start 16th on Sunday. The Briton had already endured a nightmare in Saturday's sprint race, starting 18th after a spin in qualifying and finishing 15th. Hamilton is a five-times winner in Belgium, one off Michael Schumacher's record at the circuit. He won at Spa last year after then teammate George Russell was disqualified from first when his car was found to be underweight. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, Editing by Andrew Cawthorne)

The FFF has imposed a framework for the wage bill and transfer fees in the club's proposed 2025/2026 Ligue 1 budget. "Olympique Lyonnais welcomes today's decision by the DNCG to keep the club in Ligue 1," Lyon said in a statement. "Olympique Lyonnais would like to thank the Appeals Committee for recognising the ambition of the club's new management team, which is determined to ensure that the club is managed seriously in the future." Lyon were demoted by French football's financial watchdog (DNCG) in November due to the poor state of their finances. The decision was confirmed in June after a meeting between U.S. businessman and club owner John Textor and the DNCG. Women's football mogul Michele Kang, who owns Lyon's women's team OL Lyonnes, has been appointed president of Olympique Lyonnais, replacing Textor. REUTERS Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Chanel shows haute couture in private salon setting at Grand Palais
Models present creations by the creative studio of fashion house Chanel as part of their Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection show in Paris, France, July 8, 2025. REUTERS/Manon Cruz PARIS (Reuters) -Chanel showed its latest collection of haute couture in an all-beige salon set at the Grand Palais in Paris on Tuesday, its last runway presentation by the design studio before the debut of new creative director Matthieu Blazy expected in September. Models emerged from an ornate entrance, parading long- skirted dresses in soft toned tweeds, with touches of sparkles and tufts of feathers. They wore tight buns and tall boots, which left u-shaped heel indentations in the plush carpet. Colors were muted, mostly ivory, beige and brown, but one silky dress came in a pale silvery blue, worn under a short, yellow-toned bomber jacket with a prominent, feathery collar. The show was held in the Salon d'Honneur, a smaller space of the freshly-restored Grand Palais, marking a contrast with the soaring, central exhibition hall usually favored by the label. Facing a prolonged slump, many labels in the high end fashion industry are renewing their design approach, with Kering-owned Gucci and Balenciaga, and LVMH's Dior among labels that have recently named new designers. After the show, guests lingered, making their way slowly down grand staircases, stopping for photos of the building's elaborate ironwork and gilded wall decorations. The Paris fall-winter haute couture fashion shows run through Thursday, featuring runway outings from labels Schiaparelli, Iris van Herpen and Imane Ayissi, as well as Giorgio Armani Prive, Maison Margiela and Balenciaga.

French air traffic controllers' strike disrupts flights for second day
FILE PHOTO: View of the air traffic control tower of the Marseille-Provence airport on the eve of a strike call by two air traffic controllers' unions to defend their working conditions, in Marignane, near Marseille, France, July 2, 2025. REUTERS/Manon Cruz/File Photo PARIS (Reuters) -A strike by French air traffic controllers entered its second day on Friday, leaving many passengers stranded at the start of Europe's peak travel season. Civil aviation agency DGAC told airlines to cancel 40% of flights at the three main Paris airports on Friday because of the strike, which the air traffic controllers say is over staff shortages and ageing equipment. Up to half of flights at France's other airports, mostly in the south, were also affected, DGAC added. "We are hostages of Paris," said Mariano Mignola, an Italian tourist stranded in the French capital's Orly airport with two young children. "Today we had to go home and the first available flight is July 8. We have no flat, we can't find a hotel, we can't find a car, we can't find a train, we can't find anything," he said. "We are in a panic, the children are scared and we don't know what to do." French transport minister Philippe Tabarot called the strike unacceptable as did Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary, who branded it "another recreational strike by French air traffic controllers' unions". On top of the cancellations, DGAC warned that passengers could be affected by delays and significant disruption. The Airlines for Europe (A4E) lobby group said late on Thursday that 1,500 flights had been cancelled over the two-day strike, affecting 300,000 passengers and causing cascading delays.
