“Hard Knocks” is a docuseries that focuses on a single NFL team as it prepares for the upcoming NFL season. F1 is already a dangerous and exciting sport on its own, but “Drive to Survive” transforms it into a soap opera. By the end, hopefully, they’re consuming the product; in this case, actually watching the live sport. But his strength on the field isn’t why Travis Kelce is a household name. In last season’s Super Bowl, Travis Kelce went head-to-head against brother Jason Kelce, when the Chiefs faced the Philadelphia Eagles.

MANAMA, March 2 (Reuters) - Mick Schumacher's Formula One struggles last season feature strongly in the latest run of 'Drive to Survive' but the German says he feels no need to watch the Netflix docu-series. "I didn't watch it...that's a personal choice," Schumacher told Reuters when asked about the series at a 75th anniversary event for sportswear maker Puma at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. "I just don't necessarily feel the need to watch myself on TV, I guess." Schumacher muses separately, in a frank scene on a Swiss mountainside, about the difficulties he faces and his determination to succeed. With the retirement of four times world champion Sebastian Vettel, the only German driver is veteran Nico Hulkenberg as Schumacher's replacement at Haas.

"Welcome to the family, Mick," McLaren said on Twitter, pointing out also that new team principal Andrea Stella was previously performance engineer to Michael Schumacher at Ferrari. McLaren had a reserve-sharing agreement with Renault-owned Alpine last season, when Australian Piastri was Alpine's third driver. McLaren then won a contract dispute with Alpine for Piastri to race for them this year. Mercedes and Williams shared Nyck de Vries as reserve last season, with the Dutch driver now due to race with Red Bull-owned AlphaTauri. McLaren also have 2021 IndyCar champion Alex Palou contracted to a reserve role where the Spaniard's schedules allow.

Nov 21 (Reuters) - Germany's Nico Hulkenberg showed little sympathy on Monday for Mick Schumacher after replacing his younger compatriot at the Haas Formula One team next season. "That’s just how F1 is and ultimately the driver, when he’s racing, he has to convince the team with performance. Le Mans 24 Hours winner Hulkenberg has started 181 races but last raced full-time in Formula One in 2019 with Renault, now Alpine. Hulkenberg said the desire to get back on the grid had returned this season and he contacted Haas team boss Guenther Steiner. Times have moved on, both drivers now have young daughters and Hulkenberg said he expected a good relationship.

SAO PAULO, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Haas will announce next week whether Mick Schumacher is staying or going, the Formula One team's boss Guenther Steiner said on Saturday. The German's predicament was not helped by qualifying for Saturday's Sao Paulo Grand Prix sprint race when he ended up last while team mate Kevin Magnussen took a surprise pole position. "Expect the announcement some time next week," Steiner told reporters, amid increasing speculation the team's decision has been made. It will be coming next week," said Steiner. The first two runs were very good but then with the dry tyres he just couldn't get the feeling," he said.

Nov 11 (Reuters) - Haas team boss Guenther Steiner savoured a rare moment of success as his Formula One backmarkers pulled off an astonishing first pole position with Kevin Magnussen at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Friday. "When it rains soup, you need to have a spoon ready," the Italian told Sky Sports television. Last year, with Schumacher and Magnussen's now-departed Russian predecessor Nikita Mazepin, Haas failed to score a point all season and ended last. "You will always have nay-sayers but welcome to our pole position, nay-sayers," said Steiner in response to those who questioned what his men could achieve. It was starting to rain so that was the crucial part today, just getting that best track for me.

NO KIDDING"You're kidding," Magnussen had said over the team radio when told he was fastest as the red flags were waved. Saturday will be the third such race of the season, with Verstappen winning the two previous ones at Imola and in Austria. Seven-times world champion Hamilton suffered as a result of his team mate's spin and will start the sprint from eighth place. "I will speak to the team and understand what we can do better in those conditions," he said. "I accepted the decision to go on the inters and then I waited for the rain that never came."

All going to plan, he will become the first American to race in Formula One since Alexander Rossi entered five grands prix with now-defunct Marussia in 2015. Capito said Sargeant had performed as expected and done exactly what he was told to do in practice. Sargeant will replace Canadian Nicholas Latifi at the former champions, who are currently last in the standings, alongside experienced British-born Thai Alex Albon. The Formula Two title has been won already by Brazilian Felipe Drugovich but Sargeant has won two races. "I think we need an American driver and not just a driver but a successful driver competing in there as well, and it shouldn't just be Brad Pitt."

Campionul mondial spune că Formula 1 a devenit un sport accesibil ”băieţilor miliardari”Lewis Hamilton, de şapte ori campion mondial, a declarat că Formula 1 a devenit "un club al băieţilor miliardari", relatează BBC. El a spus că i-ar fi foarte greu să intre în Formula 1, dacă ar fi acum un tânăr pilot provenit dintr-o familie nu prea bogată. Pilotul de la Mercedes a fost crescut la Hertfordshire, iar tatăl său Anthony a muncit în mai multe locuri pentru a-l sprijini financiar înainte de a fi ales de McLaren şi Mercedes la vârsta de 13 ani. Din actualii piloţi, canadienii Lance Stroll, Nicholas Latifi şi rusul Nikita Mazepin sunt fii de miliardari, iar Max Verstappen şi Mick Schumacher sunt fii ai unor foşti piloţi de Formula 1.
