A long-awaited promotion is now official. Andrea Kimi Antonelli will drive for Mercedes for the 2025 Formula 1 season. When legendary driver Lewis Hamilton made the shocking decision to leave Mercedes at the end of the 2024 season for Ferrari, it touched off rampant speculation regarding who would get a chance to slide into one of the most coveted seats in motorsport.

A fairly no-brainer flagrant foul was called on DeShields, and Clark subsequently sunk two free throws to set a new WNBA career-high in points (31).

The vitriol WNBA players face for fouling Caitlin Clark is unacceptable — and racist
