      “It was my dad’s car registration number, F44, so each year it’s just a new chance to rise to the challenge.”
      Mercedes superstar Hamilton has yet to taste victory this season, although he’s confident of picking up his first win.
      Speaking ahead of Saturday’s Belgian Grand Prix, he said: “We’ve been improving, we’ve had this consistency of the recent races and great progress that the team is making, everyone pulling together and continuing to push.
      “The car is becoming more of a racing car, which is not particularly what it was at the start of the year!
      “It’s more like a normal racing car in terms of its characteristics so that’s positive.
      “The last race was the best showing we’ve had so far. That for us was a huge boost, that we can close that gap.

      Fans thought Hulk did not quite match his Insta-famous muscleman physiqueCredit: WICKED N BAD
      Social media sensation Sajad Gharibi, 30, was barely able to throw a punch in a pitiful display against Kazakh Titan.
      And fans noticed he cut a sorry figure compared to the muscular giant he appeared to be in Instagram snaps shared with his one million followers.
      Instead of his famous rippling biceps and six-pack torso, Gharibi looked unfit with a bulging tummy straining under his t-shirt.
      He also appeared shorter than his claimed 6ft 2in – standing around the same height as 5ft 7in strongman Titan.

      Rookie boxer Gharibi turned his back on his opponent several times before the referee stopped the fight in the first round.
      One fan said: “Somebody please pay Iranian Hulk to never step foot inside a boxing ring again.”
      Since that embarrassing bout in Dubai, Gharibi has wiped dozens of pictures from his profile, reports the Daily Star.
      Only 14 pictures and videos are still visible on his account, while the more spectacular images have vanished.
      Most read in Boxing
      Gharibi – also known as “the Persian Hercules” – has become famous for his colossal physique.
      His is known for posting snaps and videos of his strongman antics including breaking concrete in half, punching walls, and pulling cars.
      Little is known about his childhood in Ahvaz, but he has previously said he had a traditional upbringing with family values at its centre.
      Throwback pics show him as a weedy eight-year-old before he beefed up aged 14.
      Later he claimed he represented Iran in powerlifting competitions.
      He has claimed to be able to lift 50lbs more than his purported 380lbs bodyweight.
      Gharibi is said to have flirted with MMA before setting his sights on a career in boxing.
      Earlier this year he was lined up for a clash of the titans bout with Brit bodybuilder Martyn Ford.
      But 6ft 9in Ford – dubbed the “world’s scariest man” – pulled out citing fears for Gharibi’s mental health.
      Before the scheduled bout, they faced off in Dubai – and tempers flared as Ford shoved his opponent to the floor.
      Ford also fanned the flames by claiming Gharibi digitally alters his Instagram snaps.

      He said: “I think he’s just fooled the world with Photoshop, if I’m honest.
      “Seeing him in real life is not as impressive as seeing him in pictures.”

      The video went out to 55,000 Instagram followers – but the post has since been deleted.
      It is unclear whether the song playing in the background – Te Felicito by Shakira and Rauw Alejandro – has been dubbed over the top of the video.
      Pique, 35, and the pop star Shakira, 45, spilt up in June after 12 years of marriage and the couple had two children Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven.
      But the eight-time LaLiga champion has seemingly moved on quickly after he was caught kissing his new girlfriend soon after.

      And the singer famous for hits like ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ is reportedly fuming as Pique broke his promise to keep his new relationship secret for a year.
      The Sun exclusively revealed that Pique has secretly been dating Chia before the split was announced.
      The PR student is 12 years younger than the footballer and supposedly met him while working on events at his production company Kosmos.
      A source close to Chia said: “Gerard and Clara have been seeing each other for months.

      “She is a student who also works for him in his office, organising events.”
      As for Shakira, who met Pique while filming her hit single ‘Waka Waka’ which was the World Cup 2010 song, she was pictured looking sad with her two sons days after images emerged of Pique with Chia.
      The former celebrity couple are now organising their separation and will have to carve up their £300million fortune that includes a private jet worth £15million and a mansion valued at around £6million.
      The Barcelona man wants his kids to stay with him in Spain but Shakira reportedly wants them with her in Miami.

      Chelsea target Anthony Gordon REMOVES Everton links on Instagram bio as £50m-rated winger drops cryptic transfer hint

      by

      EAGLE-EYED fans have noticed Anthony Gordon take Everton out of his Instagram bio amid transfer interest from Chelsea. The Blues are believed to have had two bids in the region of £40million and £45m rejected.

      Both Everton and Chelsea fans on social media pointed out the lack of Everton links in Gordon’s Instagram bio.
      Frank Lampard’s side are determined to hold on to their prized player and insisted they will not welcome any more bids.
      Everton have already waved away verbal offers from both Tottenham and Newcastle.
      Gordon, 21, who has three years left on his current contract, had indicated he was prepared to move to London to play for either Spurs or Chelsea.

      Everton are determined to give him another new contract but for the time being at least, Gordon has indicated he will run the contract down.
      Chelsea legend Lampard is determined to keep Gordon, especially after the club sold Richarlison to Spurs for £60m.
      And they have also been without Dominic Calvert-Lewin for the opening two games of the campaign after he suffered an injury.
      SunSport revealed Everton have sent scouts to watch Dutch winger Cody Gakpo.

      PSV may sell Gakpo if they are beaten by Rangers in Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier return leg and miss out on the group stage money.
      The Dutch international has been linked with Manchester United.
      But Everton may be a more realistic destination for the player who has a lot of similarities to Richarlison.

      Hakim Ziyech’s brother drops Instagram hint unhappy Chelsea star is set for emotional Ajax transfer return

      His brother posted this image on his Instagram
      The 29-year-old is unhappy at Chelsea due to a lack of game time and he wants a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer.
      Since making the transfer to West London back in 2020 for a fee of £36million, Ziyech has scored 14 goals in 84 matches.
      At the Eredivisie champions his record is much improved netting 49 goals and registering 81 assists in 165 games.
      The Moroccan was a fan’s favourite at Ajax winning a league title and a domestic cup while also playing an integral role in the club’s run to the Champions League semi-final in 2019.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      With the Amsterdam based side ready to let Antony go to Manchester United their could be a spot in the side for Ziyech.
      AC Milan also reportedly have an interest in him as did United due to Erik ten Hag working with Ziyech before but it appears they are now prioritising other targets.
      Thomas Tuchel has splashed the cash this summer and the extra attacking addition of Raheem Sterling will further restrict Ziyech’s opportunities.
      Chelsea need to offload players though and are looking to get rid of the likes of Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi too.

      The Blues are keen on Wesley Fofana of Leicester but it could take an £80million offer for the Foxes to accept a bid.
      Therefore recouping some money from the sale of Ziyech could allow Chelsea to up their Fofana bid.
      If a deal cannot be done they could make a shock move for Brighton star Adam Webster, according to reports. More

      It comes just hours after he posted a now-deleted Instagram video accepting Oleksandr Usyk’s fight challenge
      He said: “My cousin was murdered last night, stabbed in the neck.
      “This is becoming ridiculous – idiots carry knives. This needs to stop.”

      “RIP Rico Burton – may the lord God grant you a good place in heaven, see you soon.”
      It’s not yet known where Mr Burton was fatally injured.
      His death comes amid a wave of knife and gun violence across the UK, much of it focused in London.
      Most read in Boxing
      Just last night, four men were stabbed in Brixton. Seven people have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
      Earlier this week, 44-year-old Lee Byer was charged with murdering Thomas O’Halloran. The 87-year-old was knifed in Greenford as he rode his mobility scooter.
      And in the early hours of the morning in Manchester, a man in his 30s was reportedly stabbed to death in Altrincham. A 17-year-old boy was also seriously injured in the horror at 3.30am.
      It’s understood no arrests have been made.
      Two-time world heavyweight champion Fury wrote the emotional post just hours after vowing to come out of retirement and take on Oleksandr Usyk in a blockbuster world title fight.
      The Ukrainian put on a masterclass to beat Anthony Joshua and defend his belts last night in Saudi Arabia.
      Usyk, 35, claimed it was either retirement or the Gypsy King next for him.
      FURY’S GRIEF
      This morning Fury, 34, confirmed he is open to stepping back into the ring to win back his heavyweight titles.
      He said in a now-deleted Instagram post: “I’ve just seen Joshua lose for the second time to Usyk – out of his depth.
      “However, England has been relieved of its belts. Yet again, as usual.
      “There is a remedy and a solution that I can suggest. If you want those belts back then send in the Gypsy barbarian of England. Come on!
      “Send me in. I will relieve the Ukrainian dosser of his belts like I did the last Ukrainian dosser
      “But its not gonna be cheap. If you want the best you’ve got to pay, it’s gonna be very expensive.
      “So get your f***ing chequebook out and I will relieve that Ukrainian dosser.”
      Life is very precious and it can be taken away very quick. Enjoy every momentTyson Fury
      He previously revealed it would take £500MILLION to get him to fight again – but claimed he would beat both Usyk and AJ in the same night immediately after the bout in Jeddah.
      After watching on TV with his family and friends on holiday in Menorca, he blasted: “After watching that, the both of them were s***e. It was one of the worst heavyweight title fights I have ever seen.
      “It was bulls***. Come on!”
