Learning from mistakes - and quickly - is what separates the best from the rest. Unfortunately for Lando Norris, he's fallen into 'the rest' category.

Securing pole position for a grand prix should be a celebrated success which hugely increases the likelihood of winning a race. But for Lando Norris, it's becoming a living nightmare.

The Brit has criminally thrown away pole position on the first lap on five occasions this season.

McLaren strategists who spend all night planning their route to victory must be pulling their hair out.

Since rolling out upgrades for the Miami Grand Prix in May, they've had the strongest car and the strongest grid position.

But their strategies have been thrown out of the window by Norris continuously making the same errors.

Max Verstappen has one simple job in Las Vegas next weekend - finish ahead of his British rival and he'll take the trophy home with two races to spare.

It should not have been this easy for the Dutchman and Norris only has himself to blame.

Trump to make golf great again

IT shouldn't take Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau sucking up to Donald Trump to sort out the PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger.

Let's see if he's all smoke or if he can really make golf great again.

Tennis embarrassment

THE WTA Finals may as well be played on a practice court given the lack of fans attending in Saudi Arabia.

Despite tickets costing as low as £6.60 this week, one match had around 400 spectators in the 15,000 capacity venue.

This is supposed to be the crème de la crème of women's tennis but it's turned into an embarrassment.
