The top now looks very much in sight. The British driver won his fifth career F1 championship with a fourth-place finish Sunday at the Mexican Grand Prix. It was a race dominated by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, but one that will be remembered for Hamilton tying the late Juan Manuel Fangio of Argentina for the second-most championships in F1 history. At age 33, he can now make a run at something once previously unthinkable: The seven titles won by Germany’s Michael Schumacher....

Victory was handed to Hamilton by his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas, who pulled over to let him through on orders from the team. “It’s never, ever in my whole life been the way that I wanted to win a race,” said Hamilton, who said Mercedes overrode his objections to the switch. Passing Bottas “did not feel good.” Hamilton cruised to victory after the switch and now leads Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel by 50 points in the standings as both chase their fifth title....

Kate Wise, who lives in Round Rock, Texas, is now recovering in an intensive care unit (ICU) and considers herself blessed to be alive, as reported by KHOU. Wise said that on Sunday she applied an off-brand hand sanitizer to protect against COVID-19, before then trying to light some incense. “Because of the hand sanitizer, it just lit my whole… everywhere I had hand sanitizer on my hand, it just lit my hand with fire....

This year it is notable that the four serious Democratic presidential candidates from Congress–Sens. John Edwards, John Kerry and Joseph Lieberman and Rep. Dick Gephardt–are making smaller waves so far than a governor of a small state (Howard Dean of Vermont) and a general from a small war (Wesley Clark, conqueror, from the air, of Serbia). Who can explain all this? Christopher DeMuth, that’s who. He is head of the American Enterprise Institute, and author of a soon to be published (in the January-February American Enterprise) essay “Governors (and Generals) Rule....

But women’s gymnastics these days is a sport that is not kind to its senior citizens, which is to say anyone who has celebrated a sweet 16. Miller, at 19, has kept the girlish shape that’s essential to perform the complex flips and other winning tricks that excite the sport’s judges. But the accumulated pounding of years on the bars and beams has begun to take its toll. She hasn’t been completely healthy – nor has she finished a major competition – since botching a routine at the national championships last summer....

MVP contender Harden posted 42 points but the Rockets still fell to the Bucks on Wednesday – snapping their 10-game home winning streak. Harden also notched 11 rebounds, giving him a double-double midweek. Rockets team-mate Clint Capela chipped in 18 points and 13 rebounds, but Milwaukee’s balanced offense was too overwhelming. Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded 27 points and 21 rebounds for the Bucks. Malcolm Brogdon contributed 24 points on an efficient nine-of-12 shooting....

Here’s looking at Hardik Pandya’s rise from virtually an unknown commodity to India’s premier all-rounder across all formats: #1 Initial Years(2013-2015) After playing a vital role for Baroda in their Syed Mushtaq Ali Tournament clinch in 2014, he got a platform to showcase his talent on the stage of IPL 2015 where he earned his maiden contract with Mumbai Indians.

Singer is an artist who has worked on a number of projects for different clients, including Warner Bros., Netflix, Rooster Teeth, Microsoft, Marvel Studios, and Disney. A resume like that is very decorated, so it makes sense why they’re being tapped for the director’s chair. The upcoming Marvel Studios project doesn’t have a name, date, or character list, so fans will have to wait before they hear more information....

Indian Women’s T20I captain Harmanpreet Kaur has been given Sydney Thunder’s Women’s Player of the Year award for the second season of the Women’s Big Bash League. The news was announced by the team’s Twitter handle on Saturday.

The unlimited potential that both Harper and Puig possess has been well-documented, and at times, on full display. The solid, if not strong, production from the pair means they are better reaches than some of the hot-shot rookies and prospects that will be snatched up multiple rounds too early. A reach is a reach, though, and at their current draft locations, fantasy owners are rolling the dice if they're looking to add Harper or Puig to their squads....

Quite a lot is known about Halo Infinite already, but the game has been on the end of multiple delays since its gameplay reveal last year. The game is going to bring a lot of new things to the Halo universe, including a semi-open-world design.

Every Halo fan has their own favorite character, and every Halo fan likely wants to see that character appear in Infinite. If it was up to many, Infinite would be the Avengers: Endgame of the Halo franchise. But some characters may actually have a chance at showing up. RELATED: Halo Infinite Multiplayer: Beginner Tips For Arena’s Elimination Mode Captain Cutter and The Crew of the Spirit of Fire Any players who finished the surprisingly intuitive and engaging Halo Wars 2 were treated with a little tease of what might be to come in Infinite....

The marketing materials released for Halo Infinite so far have certainly raised some big questions about that story, however. A key part of the game’s premise has left many fans trying to wrap their heads around the disappearance of a key character, one who, based on previous Halo stories, seems very unlikely to simply get left behind.

Twitch streamer Mint Blitz, an Australian Halo content creator, recently called attention to this new trick being done by cheaters. In a post shared on Twitter, Mint Blitz shared a thread on Reddit titled, “Caught Mint Blitz (supposedly) using CHEATS in SWAT 41-1.” The thread alleged that the Twitch streamer was cheating in their game, to which Mint Blitz says that the cheater was obviously impersonating them. They even go so far as showing that they’ve never played SWAT in Halo Infinite just to shut down trolls....

At last year’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Vettel crashed into Hamilton under the safety car, receiving an in-race penalty and a telling off from the FIA for his troubles. The German went on to finish fourth, one place ahead of his title rival, who branded the Ferrari driver “a disgrace” following the incident. It was Hamilton who ultimately had the last laugh as he claimed a fourth drivers’ championship, equalling Vettel’s tally, and on Thursday the Mercedes man spoke more positively of the duo’s relationship as they return to Baku....
