The reigning world champion came into the Bahrain Grand Prix having qualified in P2, and stayed there for much of the race, but ultimately was forced to retire his car. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, sitting on pole, claimed the victory with relative ease, while Carlos Sainz made it a 1-2 for the Scuderia. Verstappen had his moments on Sunday night - twice duelling with Leclerc after completely eliminating a four-second gap via an early pit stop - and was presented with a further late shot at success thanks to a safety car which bunched up the field....

The 45-year-old kicker, the oldest player in the league, started out with the New England Patriots in 1996 and won three Super Bowls before leaving in 2006 for the Colts, where he won a fourth Vince Lombardi Trophy at the end of his first season. Twelve years on, Vinatieri is still going strong, kicking 29 of 34 field goals in 2017 for a success rate of 85.3 per cent. He also made 22 of 24 extra point attempts as the Colts finished 4-12 in the AFC South....

Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg on Thursday offered entirely different views on the so-called ‘tyre-gate’ testing scandal that yesterday led to Mercedes being summoned to appear before the International Tribunal of the sport’s ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA). Defending triple world champion Vettel, whose Red Bull team lodged a protest, along with Ferrari, against Mercedes’ alleged breach of the sporting rules, said they gained an unfair advantage by testing the Pirelli tyres in-season following last month’s Spanish Grand Prix....

The No. 2 overall pick has a knack for singing and he loves to show off. On Thursday, Oladipo appeared on the Fox Sports 1 show "Crowd Goes Wild," and performed a duet with Regis Philbin.

The Victorian home’s owner, San Francisco broker Tim Brown, paid around $200,000 for the move itself, plus around $200,000 in fees, to transport the building, known as the Englander House, from 807 Franklin St to 635 Fulton St. To make way for the home, trees had been trimmed and traffic signs were relocated. Drivers were told not to park on the streets along the route or else their cars would be towed....

WATCH: Witsel stamp results in red But the midfielder showed he means business when he earned a point for his new side with a late equaliser against Shanghai Shenhua. Opposing star Carlos Tevez could do nothing to inspire his side, who were down to 10 men, to a victory, with the club’s first goal in the division proving decisive.

Lionel Messi, Dani Alves and Andres Iniesta combined almost telepathically to bring the ball into the box from a throw-in. And had Messi been a little more clinical, it would have been a goal so majestic that it would have deserved a standing ovation. 0 votes

The German champions were given a euphoric welcome when they touched down in Beijing two days ago and paid back the fans with an impressive 4-1 win against Valencia at the National stadium on Saturday. The result would have brought much joy to the supporters no doubt, but it was Muller and Lahm who stole the show. After starring for the Bavarians on the pitch, the pair continued their partnership off it as well, delighting their Chinese fans with an entertaining game of their favourite sport – Ping Pong....

The Belgian, seeded third, had usurped former champion Kristyna Pliskova in the last four and added her name to that list with a 6-2 4-6 6-4 success on Saturday. This victory adds to Van Uytvanck’s success in Budapest and takes her career tally to four titles, in addition to one won at 125k level. Cirstea’s only previous triumph had come in Tashkent 11 years ago and she threatened a repeat when rallying in the second, but Van Uytvanck just had too much for the Romanian....

Kane wants to be England leader The Leicester City striker picked up a minor knock but has left the Three Lions’ training base as a precaution. England take on Scotland in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday before facing France in a friendly on Tuesday. Gareth Southgate’s men have no plans to call up a replacement for Vardy as of yet, according to a statement on the FA’s website....

On the surface, VAs seem heaven-sent to anyone who buys mutual funds. Effectively, they’re mutual funds that are allowed to grow tax-deferred. You put up anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 and add to it any time you want. There’s a range of investment choices: U.S. stocks, international stocks, bonds, a balanced stock-and-bond portfolio, a fixed-income account. You pick your own mix and can typically switch whenever the spirit moves you....

About 60 Holy See runners — Swiss Guards, priests, nuns, pharmacists and even a 62-year-old professor who works in the Vatican’s Apostolic Library — are the first accredited members of Vatican Athletics. It’s the latest iteration of the Holy See’s long-standing promotion of sport as an instrument of dialogue, peace and solidarity. Because of the agreement with CONI, the team is now a part of the Italian track association and is looking to join the International Association of Athletics Federations....

The VAVA Ultra Short Throw UHD Laser TV is, despite some misgivings, represents an excellent option within the “budget” range of 4K projectors. It projects a huge image, at a maximum size of 150 inches, without degradation of quality. Colors are bright and blacks are dark, making for a really popping display in a dark room. Thanks to its image brightness, it even holds up in ambient light. It might cost a fair bit, but the VAVA 4K projector is worth the money you will spend on it if you can get past the awful Aptoide app store and the difficulty sideloading apps....

While the Chicago Blackhawks sit alone atop the oddsboard at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, ten teams are priced 15-to-1 or less. Just days after the L.A. Kings topped the New York Rangers in five games to claim the 2013-14 NHL championship, Vegas bookmakers posted their futures prices for the upcoming season. Since the release of the numbers in June, there has been plenty of movement, most notably near the top of the oddsboard, where several contenders have seen their odds shorten....

That’s a pretty big bet even in a place where everybody comes to roll the dice. Adelson’s plan is that folks will frequent the 6 million-square-foot Venetian for a little taste of Venice–right down to its canals, bridges and villas, not to mention the marble-inlaid floors and the enormous frescoes everywhere. Why schlep across the Atlantic to see the real thing, when you get almost the same pigeons and singing gondoliers right here in America–and have the chance to gamble away your disposable income, too?...

A beaten finalist at this event in 2014, Williams’ experience told against her teenage compatriot Caroline Dolehide in the WTA Premier 5 tournament, the 38-year-old winning in straight sets. Pliskova and Goerges also progressed on the outdoor hard courts in Quebec, but Maria Sharapova will have to wait to join them, as bad weather interrupted the 31-year-old’s match in the first set late on the opening day in Canada....

Speaking a day after Naomi Osaka withdrew from the clay court major following intense scrutiny around her decision not to do media, Williams was blunt when asked if she’d ever had any issues conducting press conferences. “For me, personally, how I deal with it was that I know every single person asking me a question can’t play as well as I can and never will,” she said. “So no matter what you say or what you write, you’ll never light a candle to me....
