Daniel Ricciardo to miss Dutch Grand Prix after suffering broken wrist in crash
Daniel Ricciardo has been ruled out of this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix after suffering a broken wrist in practice. The 34-year-old Australian, in only his third race back on the grid, crashed out of second practice in Zandvoort. He will be replaced in the AlphaTauri by Liam Lawson with the New Zealander to make his Formula One debut. Lando Norris denied Max Verstappen a practice double by setting the pace for Sunday’s grand prix – after Ricciardo crashed out and was taken to hospital. “After today’s incident during Free Practice 2 in Zandvoort, in which Daniel Ricciardo hit the barrier at Turn 3, he was brought to the local hospital and further examinations were carried out,” an AlphaTauri statement read. “An X-ray confirmed he sustained a break to a metacarpal on his left hand, and this injury will not allow him to continue his duties, so he will be replaced by the team’s reserve driver Liam Lawson for the remainder of this weekend. “The team wishes him all the best for the quickest possible recovery.” More than 300,000 spectators will descend on the coastal town of Zandvoort, 30 miles outside of Amsterdam, as Formula One emerges from its summer slumber. The majority of whom will do so in the expectation of watching Verstappen march to his ninth consecutive victory – equalling a record set by Sebastian Vettel for Red Bull in 2013 – as he closes in on a hat-trick of world championships. But McLaren’s Norris raised the suggestion he could spoil Verstappen’s homecoming party after he ended the day with the fastest time. While practice speed is treated with caution, the British driver edged out Verstappen, who was fastest in the first running, by just 0.023 seconds. The impressive Alex Albon finished third for Williams, one place ahead of Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion finished three tenths adrift in his Mercedes with team-mate George Russell only 14th in the order. “That was a great day for me,” said Hamilton. “I woke up this morning so excited to get back in the car and from the first lap it felt like we had a good starting point to work from. “The car is feeling more competitive here, so we want to hold on to that and see if we can extract more for tomorrow.” The second session was suspended after just 10 minutes when Norris’ team-mate Oscar Piastri and AlphaTauri’s Ricciardo crashed out at the same corner. Australian Piastri, who has enjoyed an impressive rookie campaign, lost control of his McLaren through the banked left-handed Turn 3 before slamming into the barriers. Moments later, Ricciardo, who appeared distracted by the sight of Piastri’s wounded McLaren, locked up under braking before following his compatriot into the tyre wall. “Ah f***, my hand, f***,” the 34-year-old said over the radio after the incident. Both men played no further part in the running as their damaged cars were towed back to their respective garages. Ricciardo was still holding the steering wheel as he hit the wall and he was taken to the medical centre. He was then pictured leaving with his left arm in a sling, and was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital for further checks on his wrist. The Australian will now sit out the remainder of the weekend. Red Bull motorsport adviser Dr Helmut Marko said after the crash: “We don’t know exactly what it is yet, but he was in a lot of pain. His wrist has suffered damage, but we have to wait for the diagnosis. “This is a new situation for us. We will first wait to see how Ricciardo is doing and whether he can drive or not, and then we discuss who gets in the car.” Ferrari have endured a lacklustre campaign and there was little for the Italian giants to cheer on Friday, with Charles Leclerc 11th and team-mate Carlos Sainz 16th. Ricciardo’s team-mate, Yuki Tsunoda, finished fifth with Pierre Gasly sixth and Sergio Perez, 125 points behind Verstappen in the drivers’ championship, seventh.

Donald Trump’s absolutely terrible golf shot goes viral
Donald Trump has been filmed taking one of the worst golf shots of his life, in a clip which has been doing the rounds on social media. The golf-obsessed former president is well known for talking up his abilities in the game and spent an awful lot of time playing during his time in the White House. In fact, according to trumpgolfcount.com, there was evidence of Trump playing golf on “at least 150 visits” during his four years in power. He also happens to own 17 courses himself. However, the latest footage of him playing shows him hitting a truly awful shank. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The clip sees the former president addressing the ball in his MAGA hat, a short distance from the green at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles. The unnamed person behind the camera waits in anticipation, only for Trump to completely shank it way to the right. "Holy s***, dude," one of the people behind the camera says, before the one holding the camera says: "Oh my God, I got that on video." Trump claims to have a handicap of 2.8, but a lot of people dispute the fact that Trump is that good. Sportswriter Rick Reilly, for one, doesn’t believe it. The journalist wrote an entire book about Trump cheating at golf called Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump, in which he states: “If Trump is a 2.8, Queen Elizabeth is a pole vaulter.” Reilly previously told CNN in an interview: “He cheats like a mafia accountant. He cheats crazy. He cheats whether you're watching or not. He cheats whether you like it or not." He does, however, clearly have an eye for predicting the golf landscape. Shockwaves were previously sent through the world of professional sport after Saudi-backed breakaway league LIV Golf, the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour announced an unprecedented merger. The bitter feud between the PGA and LIV has dominated headlines in the professional game for the last 18 months and the new deal is something not even players on both sides knew was happening. The only person who saw it coming? Donald Trump. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.
