      How does F1 point scoring work? How many points for a Grand Prix win in Hamilton vs Verstappen title race

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON and Max Verstappen are fighting out one of the most spectacular Formula One seasons in living memory.The two drivers are separated by 19 points going into the last four races of the season with the Brazilian Grand Prix taking place next.

      The season has seen casual fans finally switch back on to motorsport after dominant spells from the likes of Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel before him.
      But it can be confusing how the scoring works for each F1 race.
      How does F1 point scoring work?
      Points are awarded on a sliding scale for a Grand Prix victory, with first place taking 25 points and the rest of the field to 10th place scoring.

      1st place – 25 points
      2nd – 18 points
      3rd – 15 points
      4th – 12 points
      5th – 10 points
      6th – 8 points
      7th – 6 points
      8th – 4 points
      9th – 2 points
      10th – 1 point
      11-last – 0 points

      Are F1 points awarded for the fastest lap?
      Yes. Championship points are awarded to the driver with the fastest lap of any Formula One Grand Prix.
      But only if they finish in the top 10 positions of a Grand Prix race.
      This is to avoid a driver who is at the back of the field giving up on winning a race but hanging back in order to set the fastest lap.
      How are points awarded if F1 race is abandoned?
      If a race is abandoned before 75 per cent of the distance has been completed all points are halved.
      This happened in the 2021 season at the Belgian Grand Prix. More

      What is the difference between horsehair and foam-padded boxing gloves?

      by

      BOXING often throws up plenty of disagreement and conflict, especially between some of the sport’s biggest stars on fight week. One particularly contentious part of fight week is glove selection, where both fighters and their respective camps will inspect and choose the gloves they will where on fight night.

      Often, this is a smooth process, but as seen with Tyson Fury’s third fight with Deontay Wilder, it’s not always plain-sailing.
      Wilder had already thrown accusations about the legality of Fury’s gloves for their second fight in 2020, and the Bronze Bomber wasn’t happy when Fury selected the same style of glove for the trilogy.
      Fury famously wears horsehair material gloves, while Wilder has worn foam padding in his throughout his career, and both are legal.
      But who do fighters get so antsy over glove selection? SunSport have rounded up all you need to know about one of the key formalities of fight week, and the differences between the two types of glove.
      What is the difference between horsehair and foam-padded boxing gloves?
      It sounds self-explanatory – one gloves has horsehair in it, the other has foam.
      But the use of horsehair in gloves, a tradition nearly as old as the sport, has been hotly-contested in recent years.
      Horsehair padding provides the glove with less protection to both your hands, and your opponent’s face, therefore it favours those in the ring who consider themselves to be a knockout artist, or someone with really heavy hands.
      Horsehair gloves are durable, though they absorb sweat easier, thus wearing the padding down quicker than that of their foam relatives.
      Dubbed a ‘puncher’s glove’ horsehair gloves are often used by fighters with a come-forward Mexican style of fighting, or those seeking stoppages in their fights, much like Fury did against Wilder.
      Fury wore Paffen branded gloves for both the rematch and the trilogy against Wilder, after he employed Kronk coach SugarHill Steward to train him to KO the American.
      Paffen gloves use horsehair padding, unlike the majority of modern boxing gloves which use foam padding.

      Following their second fight, in which Wilder was stopped in seven rounds, the Alabama native complained Fury’s gloves had an insufficient amount of padding in them, and that Fury’s punches left a dent in his face.
      Wilder usually wears Everlast Powerlock gloves, which uses a PVC foam and latex material for padding.
      Foam padded gloves have become more popular over the past two decades, as they keep your hands protected and they absorb shock better than horsehair gloves do.
      Once Wilder found out that Fury would be using the same gloves for their trilogy, however, he opted to use Everlast MX instead, a horsehair-foam mix, in order to even the playing field.
      Another fighter who was opposed to horsehair gloves was Floyd Mayweather, who often had it written into his fight contracts that his opponents weren’t allowed to use gloves with that type of padding.
      Conor McGregor was famously banned from using horsehair for their fight back in 2017.

      And Marcos Maidana had to change his gloves from horsehair to foam in 2014 on fight week after Mayweather came away from glove inspection less than impressed with the Argentine’s choice of glove.
      Maidana ended up wearing Grant branded gloves, which Mayweather wore for most of his storied career.
      Grant gloves are known as the best gloves on the market for those who want their hands to be ultra-protected, and they were perfect for Mayweather, who often suffered with hand injuries.

      Best pound-for-pound boxers revealed with Tyson Fury jumping up the list as Usyk leapfrogs Joshua

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ will aim to become undisputed super-middleweight world champ when he fights Caleb Plant on November 6.And if he manages to beat the American, you won’t find many arguing against him being the pound-for-pound best.

      The Mexican is already four-weight world champ – you wouldn’t be surprised if he fancies a crack at cruiser or even heavy in the future.
      However, a host of other stars claim to be the king of the ring, especially after the dramatic events in the heavyweight division over the past month.
      Here SunSport gives its pound-for-pound top ten boxers – and it was NOT an easy task.
      10 Artur Beterbiev
      Russian powerhouse Beterbiev cemented his place as the man at 175lbs after stopping Oleksandr Gvozdyk to add the WBC title to his IBF belt and then defending those against Adam Deines.
      The now unified light-heavyweight puncher stayed resilient in the Eastern European affair and kept his 100 per cent KO rate intact.
      A unification clash against WBA ruler Dmitry Bivol has now been mentioned in what would be another clash of two heavy hitters.
      But a potential meeting with Kovalev or even Canelo would do more to enhance Beterbievโ€™s already scary profile.
      However, it is Marcus Browne up next for him in the ring next month.

      9 Anthony Joshua
      Joshua makes it into this list for his boxing skillset learned from his amateur days and also his bouncebackability.
      The sport was stunned when Joshua was flattened by the unfancied late stand-in Andy Ruiz Jr – but went back to the drawing board, came back, and scored an easy rematch victory.
      However, he is now on the comeback trail again after he lost his belts and was completely outclassed by Usyk last month.
      Critics will argue that AJ could well be the complete heavyweight, but not pound-for-pound for his transferrable skills.
      But he has never shirked a challenge and the list of his conquests is very impressive – and will get even greater if he is successful in his rematch with Usyk.
      8 Vasiliy Lomachenko
      Leaving the amateur game with a record of 396-1 – with the one loss to Albert Selimov later avenged –ย the simple question was could the boxing maestro transcend his skill-set to 12 rounds.
      An early loss to Orlando Salido – for the WBO featherweight title in Lomachenkoโ€™s second pro fight – was a clear reminder that the unpaid ranks are a completely different game.
      But after being roughed up and out-muscled by a veteran and overweight Salido, Loma became the quickest three-weight world champion in history.
      A contentious points defeat by Lopez saw the proud Ukrainian take a hit and he is desperate for the rematch.
      But he bounced back brilliant, completely outclassing Masayoshi Nakatani before KO’ing the Japanese fighter in the ninth.
      Will be in action again next month when he battles Richard Commey at Madison Square Garden.

      7 Teofimo Lopez
      Lopez became lightweight world champ in only his 15th bout – three fights before Mayweather – as he knocked out Richard Commey for the IBF belt in December 2019.
      The 24 year old was still rightfully an outsider against masterful southpaw Lomachenko in October 2020, where all the titles were at stake.
      But Lopez silenced the doubters and became an overnight sensation,ย knocking the P4P No1 off his perch.
      It also made him only the fifth man – behind Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor, Terence Crawford and Oleksandr Usyk – to hold all four undisputed titles.

      6 Naoya Inoue
      The Americans now know all about Inoue.
      He has secured two KO victories in his last two fights in Las Vegas – demonstrating his phenomenal power at bantamweight.
      Having began his career at 108 lbs the Japanese banger went on to claim titles at super-flyweight, junior-bantamweight champion and bantamweight.
      The heavy-handed 28-year-old has flown under the radar having campaigned at the lighter weights.
      Butย beating fighting legend Nonito Donaire in the World Boxing Super Series final had everyone sitting up and taking notice.

      5 Tyson Fury
      The Gypsy King completed the most memorable of journeys back to the top when he battered Deontay Wilder to be crowned WBC heavyweight champ.
      And he backed that up a fortnight ago as he emerged triumphant after a thrilling trilogy fight with the Bronze Bomber.
      Even at his heaviest back in the boxing ring, Fury moves like the wind and is several steps ahead of his opponent before a punch is even thrown.
      Fury is still undefeated as a pro – 31 wins and one draw, with 22 KOs.

      4 Oleksandr Usyk
      Usyk reigned as undisputed cruiserweight king having won the WBSS – which involved all the divisions belts – and has now well-and-truly stamped his authority at heavyweight.
      His nimble footwork, consistent punching rate and heavy hands made him no match for anyone at 200lbs – with his previous most high-profile win coming against Tony Bellew in Manchester.
      The Ukrainian maestro hasn’t had it all his own way at heavyweight – notably Derek Chisora caused him all sorts of problems.
      But he overcame the odds to completely outclass Anthony Joshua at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month to snatch the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles.
      And that was enough to propel him way above his Brit rival and Tyson Fury in our P4P rankings.
      Oleksand Usyk became a two-weight world champ last month by defeating Anthony JoshuaCredit: Getty
      3 Terence Crawford
      Crawford is as classy in the ring as he is outside it.
      Possibly the best switch-hitter in the game right now, he has the ability to overwhelm any foe with his combination punching.
      The American has great balance allowing him to work as a counter-puncher – as Julius Indongo knows – though he is equally as deadly as an aggressive box-puncher, which often comes out in the later rounds.
      Crawford has won world titles at lightweight, super-lightweight and currently reigns as WBO welterweight king – having held undisputed gold at 140lbs.
      Fans are now anxiously awaiting his showdown with Shawn Porter.

      2 Josh Taylor
      Incredibly, Taylor still doesn’t seem to get the respect he deserves.
      Along his path to becoming UNDISPUTED super-lightweight champion, the 30-year-old Scott has battered some real warriors.
      Taylor is now the face of Sky Sports’ new boxing era without Eddie Hearn – and it’s about time.
      He is next in action on December 18 when he defends titles against Jack Catterall.

      1 Canelo Alvarez
      Mexican hero Alvarez has quickly taken over as boxingโ€™s biggest star since former foe Floyd Mayweather walked away from the sport.
      With only a sole loss – to Mayweather in 2013 aged 23 – Canelo has gone on to rule the super-welterweight and middleweight divisions as well as winning a world title at super-middleweight.
      Last time out he crushed Billy Joe Saunders’ dreams, as well as his eye socket, with a stoppage win.
      Next up is the unification blockbuster against Caleb Plant – but the Mexican looks unbeatable right now.

      The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the outright top dog if he collects the most points across this season’s races.
      In a season that has already seen shifts and changes to the calendar, the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place on the weekend of March 21, but was put back to November 21.
      Then the Melbourne event was cancelled altogether due to rising Covid cases Down Under and replaced by Istanbul.
      And in April the world governing body approved sprint races in the British, Brazilian and Italian Grand Prix as a replacement for qualifying.

      So where does SunSport’s Ben Hunt put the Mercedes man, alongside Ayrton Senna and seven-time champย Schumacher?
      Check out his full run-down of the top 10 below.10. Fernando Alonso
      The Spaniard is a remarkable driver, blessed with skill, pace and a cunning that means he should have more than the two F1 titles he owns.
      But for poor choice when it comes to making decisions about which teams to race for, he should have been rivalling Hamilton for titles.
      9. Sir Stirling Moss
      Without doubt the best driver never to win a Formula One world title.
      Fabulously charming and such a wonderful character.
      The Brit won 212 of the 529 races he entered.
      8. Alain Prost
      The Frenchman enjoyed a titanic battle with Senna for F1 supremacy.
      For what he lost out in natural ability compared to the Brazilian, he made up for it with ruthlessness and dedication.
      A smooth driver in the same mould as Stewart and Clark.
      7. Niki Lauda
      Tenacious competitor both on and off track.
      A true hero after coming back from suffering horrific burns in 1976 following a crash at the Nurburgring only to make an astonishing comeback just six weeks later.
      He won the F1 title the following season.

      6. Sir Jackie Stewart
      Won his three world titles during a dangerous period in Formula One’s history.
      Stewart saw countless competitors perish in the cockpit and set about making safety improvements.
      A wonderfully measured driver who was also calm behind the wheel.

      5. Juan Manuel Fangio
      One of the pioneers of Formula One, Fangio won an incredible five world titles when the sport was in its infancy.
      With safety at a minimum and reliability commonplace, the Argentine was a remarkably consistent performer.
      4. Jim Clark
      The greatest driver of his generation, Clark was a two-time world champion and won 25 times in 72 starts – more than any other driver at the time.
      His versatility also saw him win the Indy 500, the British Touring Car Championship, the Tasman Series in Australian and New Zealand.
      3. Michael Schumacher
      All-time record hold for most wins (91) and titles (seven), Schumacher’s record stands as the best in F1 history.
      His meticulous focus and attention to details helped make him a multiple world champion, even if his racing methods were called into question.

      2. Ayrton Senna
      Supremely talented and wonderfully competitive.
      Senna’s raw talent over a single-lap made him a hero, as did his ability to win races in any conditions.
      Hugely passionate, he helped elevate the publicity of F1 to new levels.
      1. Lewis Hamilton
      Like Michael Schumacher and Aytron Senna before him, Hamilton has taken F1 to a new level when it comes to dominating races.
      Astonishingly consistent, brilliant over a qualifying lap and smart race-craft.
      Rarely makes a mistake. Always delivers.
