The Los Angeles Chargers in the opening weeks of the 2025 season, it has been particularly unforgiving. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh's squad has been forced to navigate a dizzying array of cross-continental and international travel, creating a challenging backdrop for the start of the year.   ​The Chargers' early schedule stands out as one of the league's most demanding, a factor underscored by the team being projected to travel more miles than any other NFL team over the course of the full 2025 season. But the first four weeks, in particular, presented a logistical nightmare.   ​The challenge kicked off immediately in Week 1 with the team's first-ever game in São Paulo, Brazil against the divisional-rival Kansas City Chiefs. This international fixture required a massive journey of thousands of miles across multiple time zones, a significant disruption before the regular season even truly began. While the team managed to secure a tough victory, the sheer physi...

  The Monaco Grand Prix was dominated by Ferarri. Sean Leclrec maneuvered his way throught the streets course with ease. He finished first place ahead of Oscar Piastri and teammate Carlos Sainz to round out the podium positions.  Qualifications   For the Moneygram Haas F1 team, this was a weekend to forget. On Saturday, Nico Hulkenberg qualified 12th, and Keven Magnussen 15th. However, after postrace inspection it was found the uppermost rear wing adjustable plate exceeded the maximum allowance. Therefore, sending both cars to the rear of the field.  Penalty   The stewards noted that Haas was “candid in admitting its error”, and the FIA’s technical team was satisfied with their answers. This was a new high downforce wing where the team was not trained on the new adjustment specifications.  Race When the field went lights out, an incident between Sergio Perez and Kevin Magnussen caused a red flag. That incident also collected a innocent bystander in Nico Hul...

Photo Credit Andretti Global.  The saga of entering Formula 1 between the FIA and Andretti Global is frustrating, to say to least. Especially for myself, who is an F1 fan who was born and raised in Indiana. I will admit, the FIA does bring up good arguments on Andretti Global entering during a time of major regulation changes. However, they attempted to take it to another level. Almost like they were trying to embarrass the American outfit. However, in doing so, they opened themselves up to be heavily criticized in my opinion. Below, I highlight my opinions on where the FIA could be wrong. Money- The FIA states an 11 th team would not bring value to the sport, but only the Andretti name. Also, stating that an 11 th team would put a burden on sponsors and event venues. Liberty Media just announced its highest Q1 ever. They said, “that the Formula 1 acquisition of MotoGP and the success of recent races marked by growing attendance and viewership, were notable heights....
