Red Bull’s chances of winning the 2022 Formula One Grand Prix season are high, as Max Verstappen secures another victory at the Canadian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen held off Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz to claim the top spot on the podium.

Sainz came in second and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton clinched the third spot on the podium.

The Dutchman held his nerve right up until the final lap, holding off rival Ferrari in true Red Bull style.

“It was really exciting at the end. I was giving it everything I had and of course Carlos was doing the same.
He was pushing, charging, pushing, charging — naturally when you’re on the DRS it’s easier to charge. The last few laps were a lot of fun.
I think I would have preferred attacking instead of defending but luckily it worked out.”

This victory follows a stellar season for Verstappen so far, with six wins and counting.

Verstappen has his eyes firmly set on the Champions board, with his lead up by 46 points.

Happy Father’s Day 🙌

Apple could be the next owner of English football giant Manchester United.

Reports suggest the American tech giant is considering a billion-dollar bid to take over the club.

It was confirmed earlier this week that the American Glazer family’s ownership of the football club is set to end.

The family sent a note to the New York Stock Exchange saying they’re exploring “strategic alternatives” for the English football club.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is apparently keen to explore opportunities that owning Manchester United could provide, and is weighing up an official bid for the club in the region of $7 billion.
