How Kimi Antonelli saw off the grid to become F1's youngest world champion
Mercedes driver makes history at 20 years old by exceeding all expectations in only his second seasonBefore the 2026 season had begun there was something of a consensus within Formula One. Mercedes appeared to have the fastest car and George Russell was favourite for the title. Beside him in what was indeed a dominant Mercedes, his teenage teammate, Kimi Antonelli, was the prodigious talent who was expected to require honing after a tricky rookie season. Said consensus lasted one race, by the sixth it had been turned on its head and Antonelli was squarely on his way to being champion.Few had doubted that the then 19-year-old Italian would prove to be strong in a car that for the first two-thirds of the season was the class of the field but for Antonelli to come out of the blocks with such verve, aggressive skill and also the judgment and at times maturity of a veteran was revelatory. As the youngest F1 world champion and Italy's first since Alberto Ascari in 1953, Antonelli made history this year but it was the way he did it which truly caught the eye. Continue reading...

'Wow': Shock as signs of midterm 'bloodbath' emerge in final Senate poll
Political analysts were shocked Sunday after a set of polls showed Democrats having a significant advantage in multiple key midterm races. The latest New York Times/Siena poll, the last Senate poll before Tuesday's elections, showed Democratic candidates leading in state races such as Michigan, Texas, Maine, Ohio, Kansas, Alaska, and Iowa. The margins were as wide as Abdul El-Sayed's 11-point advantage over Republican candidate Mike Rogers, to Josh Turek's one-point advantage over Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) in the Hawkeye State. The polls shocked several political analysts, who chimed in on social media. Mark Mitchell, head pollster at The Honest Polling Company, posted on X that the polls suggested Republicans are in trouble on Tuesday. "Wow. The Republicans are in trouble," Mitchell wrote. "But this much trouble? Hard to say. It all depends on independent turnout and sentiment."Adam Carlson, founder of Zenith Strategies, was more conclusive in his analysis. "Bloodbath," Carlson posted on X. Eric Michael Garcia, an MS NOW columnist, argued that the poll results must be intoxicating for Democrats. "There are polls that hit like crack. But this poll must hit like black tar heroin for Democrats," Garcia posted on X.Piers Morgan, a political commentator, said the polls were part of a "big night" for the Democrats, which included Haley Stevens' almost inconceivable endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race. "Incredible night for Dems if this is what happens on Tuesday… possibly existential night for pollsters if it doesn't," Morgan noted on X.

Trump praises Haley Stevens during final push before election day – as it happened
This blog is now closed. See our latest full reports here:Democrat Haley Stevens endorses Abdul El-Sayed's Republican rivalTrump launches racist diatribe against Abdul El-Sayed at Iowa rallySign up for the Breaking News US emailAt the end of 2022, the four largest US cities – New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston – all had Black mayors. It was a historic alignment made possible by the aftereffects of the Black Lives Matter civil rights movement and the unprecedented wave of protests following the killing of George Floyd in 2020.Six years on, only one of those mayors remains: the embattled Karen Bass of Los Angeles, who is facing a strong challenge from a younger, even more progressive challenger. Bass's opponent is Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, although the group is considering rescinding its endorsement over her refusal to explicitly embrace the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.

Dismay after Haley Stevens' 'absolute train wreck' CNN interview: 'What is this?'
Onlookers were dismayed Sunday after Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) gave one of the most bizarre interviews to Anderson Cooper of CNN. Stevens was interviewed Sunday on CNN's "Midterms 2026: Countdown to Election Night," where Cooper asked her why she abruptly changed her mind from supporting Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed to endorsing Republican candidate Mike Rogers, who is a close ally of President Donald Trump's. Stevens claimed earlier in the day that El-Sayed had effectively banished her from his campaign after she endorsed him, and that was at least part of the reason why she decided to support Rogers. Things got even stranger during her appearance on CNN. At one point, Stevens told Cooper that El-Sayed had gotten "angrier" throughout his campaign, a claim that Cooper didn't buy. "He didn't get angrier between midnight last night and this morning," Cooper said. "So, was there something specific that changed your mind?""Anderson, you certainly weren't on the phone with me at midnight," Stevens stammered. "And I don't think I was on the phone either."Cooper also challenged Stevens on a claim she made at a press conference with Rogers earlier in the day. "You said you can't stand with hate. Do you think El-Sayed is hateful or an antisemite?" Cooper asked. Stevens took a swig from a water bottle that was sitting just off camera before she answered."I think some of the actions have certainly been antisemitic... and I'm just sick of who he stands with," Stevens said. Stevens' wild interview sparked a firestorm of reactions on social media. Journalist Aaron Rupar expressed concern for Stevens in multiple posts on X. "My god, Haley Stevens is an absolute train wreck. What is this?" Rupar wrote in one post, adding in another that it was "One of the most bizarre and incoherent political interviews" he had ever seen. Political commentator Keith Olbermann was left with just one question after the interview concluded."How many times can someone end their career in one 24-hour stretch?" he posted on X. Tahra Hoops, senior director of economic analysis at the Chamber of Progress, noted that the interview didn't help Stevens in the least. "Holy heck, this is bad. Painfully obvious that her entire team left her as she was NOT prepared for this," she posted on X.
Democrat Haley Stevens endorses Abdul El-Sayed's Republican rival Mike Rogers
Endorsement was met with backlash from the party, condemning Stevens for her 'betrayal'Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost the Michigan Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, endorsed his Republican rival, Mike Rogers, in an extraordinary rebuke of her party's nominee on the eve of the midterm elections.Her endorsement came in a video posted to X after she attended an event with Rogers at the predominantly Black Perfecting church in Detroit on Sunday. Stevens's endorsement was the culmination of an escalating feud between the former primary rivals – primarily over support for Israel – that has roiled one of the most fiercely contested Senate contests of the cycle.
