by Philippa Kaur 2 March 2023, 20:37

And Lewis Hamilton in particular will be determined to dethrone reigning champion Max Verstappen having failed to win a single race in 2022.
But the racers are obliged to be weighed before they get behind the wheel.
SunSport has the reasons why.
Why do F1 drivers get weighed?
Formula One drivers are weighed to see how much weight the racer has lost during the race.
Read more on F1
And drivers tip the scales to make sure that themselves and the car surpass the minimum weight requirement as the lighter the car, the faster it will go.
F1 racers are weighed immediately after the race with all of their gear on which includes their helmet, gloves and full race suit as it contributes to their ‘seat weight’.
Furthermore, drivers are prohibited from eating or drinking until their weight measurements have been recorded.
The FIA implemented the rule in 2019 and the racers believe that it makes the circuit fair.

What is the minimum weight requirement?
All drivers must weigh a minimum of 80kg which includes their drivers seat.
There are usually no exceptions for this requirement and consequences come for those who fail to meet the minimum weight.

What happens if drivers do not meet the weight requirement?
Drivers who are found to be under the weight limit after the race receive an automatic disqualification.
The rule is in place to make it fair for everybody to compete and it also forces drivers to maintain a healthy weight. More

What is a rolling start in F1?
by Philippa Kaur 1 March 2023, 15:25
The FORMULA 1 2023 season is set to get underway with the Bahrain Grand Prix.F1 races can start in two different ways, which are the standing start and the rolling start.
Charles Leclerc leading the start of the French Formula One Grand Prix
Max Verstappen leading the start of the Dutch Grand Prix
A rolling start has the cars on the grid in a formation behind a safety car at a pre-determined speed for a number of laps.
The safety car indicates it’s returning to the pits by turning off the flashing lights.
When the safety car arrives at the pit and is off the track, the race will return to “green flag” conditions.
All cars must wait for the green flag to be on show or for the information to be communicated over the radio before they can start accelerating.

The race leader will take the first position, and the trailing vehicles must stay in single-file behind.
No driver can overtake the race leader prior to the race officially beginning.
When are rolling starts used in F1?
Rolling starts are typically used when the weather conditions are deemed too unsafe for a standing start.
They are used more commonly during NASCAR events rather than in F1 Grand Prix.
Most read in Motorsport
A standing start is a more typical start to an F1 Grand Prix, with drivers starting in a stationary manner in their respective grid spots.
Which F1 Grand Prix have had a rolling start?
Last season, the Monaco 2022 Grand Prix had a rolling start, which was due to heavy rainfall.
Sergio Perez took top spot on the podium that day.
After several delays at the 2021 Belgium Grand Prix, a rolling start was again needed due to wet conditions.
The race was then red-flagged and forced to be suspended before the race officially began. More

What is DRS in F1? All you need to know about Drag Reduction System
by Philippa Kaur 28 February 2023, 11:53
FORMULA ONE cars are packed with gadgets to make them go as fast as possible across the tarmac.But with so much technology to know and understand, fans can easily get confused. Here, we tell you everything you need to know about the Drag Reduction System (DRS).
Max Verstappen, left, is using Drag Reduction System to overtake Charles Leclerc, who is not using DRS
The drag reduction system (DRS) is an overtaking aid designed to make racing more exciting using the simple laws of aerodynamics.
Here is all you need to know about the rear wing system.What does DRS stand for?
DRS stands for drag reduction system.
This is a method used by F1 drivers to follow their rivals more closely and therefore overtake them.
When in a DRS zone, a driver within one second of a rival car may activate the DRS.
This is not automatic and a driver usually has a button on their steering wheel to activate the system.
LATEST MOTORSPORT NEWS
How does DRS help to overtake?
Within the push of a button, a driver can open up part of the rear wing.
It is used to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase the straight-line speed of the car.
That will allow them to close in on the car in front quicker than they would normally be able to.
There is at least one DRS zone on each track in F1 but some have as many as three to help to overtake.
When can they use it?
The drivers can only use the DRS during designated activation zones.
To ensure that overtaking is not too easy, the length and location of the zones are carefully controlled.
They must be within one second of a car in front to be able to use the DRS.
Most tracks have a DRS zone on their main straight, helping the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen as they look to win.

Everything you need to know about F1 this season
When was DRS first used in F1?
The drag reduction system was introduced to Formula One in 2011.
Regulations in 2013 stated that no item of the body may be adjustable by the driver during the race – with the exception of the DRS. More

What is a split decision in boxing?
by Aurelia Butler 27 February 2023, 15:11
THERE’S nothing more thrilling than seeing a boxing match settled from a KO – but fights are often settled by a split decision.YouTuber Jake Paul survived eight rounds with Tyson Fury’s half brother Tommy before losing the Saudi showdown.

However, the grudge match was closer than most expected as Fury’s win came down to a split decision.
But what exactly is a split decision and what are some of the other decisions in boxing?
What is a split decision?
A split decision in boxing is when two of the three judges score one particular fighter as the winner while the third judge scores in favour of the other competitor.
This commonly leads to the loser requesting a rematch having felt as if there is not enough unanimity in the final decision.

What are some notable matches which have been won by a split decision?

How else can a boxing match be settled?
Split decisions are often confused with a majority decision which occurs when two judges choose the same fighter as the winner but the third judge believes the contest was a tie.
Boxing matches are occasionally settled as a tie if two judges score in favour of different competitors, while the remaining judge feels as if the match was a draw.
Unanimous decisions happen when ALL three judges decided on one competitor as the winner

But prior to the decisions above, boxers can win via a knockout (KO) which is when the fighter fails to resume the bout before a ten count after being hit down to the canvas.
Or, competitors can be victorious following a technical knockout (TKO) – when the referee believes that the boxer isn’t in stable enough condition to defend themselves. More

ITS every players dream to be awarded for being the top scorer in any competition – and there’s a real rat race on for the Europa League golden boot this year.Last season, Rangers talisman James Tavernier pipped Lyon’s Karl Toko Ekambi to the prize despite the Scots losing in the final to Eintracht Frankfurt.

But elite strikers such as Robert Lewandowski will be eyeing the award this time around.
However, the Poland goal machine will have to surpass Marcus Rashford first who is closing in on the top spot.
Who scored this week in the Europa League?
Marcus Rashford continued his phenomenal form after scoring in Manchester United’s first leg playoff against Barcelona.
And it took the England international’s tally up to three – just one behind the current top scorer.

Wales national anthem lyrics: Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau – Land of Our Fathers in English and Welsh
by Philippa Kaur 2 February 2023, 11:14
THERE are very few national anthems in the world that are belted out with the pride and ferocity of Wales’ Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.The song, which translates into English as ‘Land of my Fathers’, is one of the most recognisable in global sport – with Welsh fans belting out the famous lyrics for the Wales vs Ireland Six Nations match.
Wales bellow their national anthem with pride

During rugby matches at the Principality Stadium and the Wales national football team’s games at Cardiff City Stadium, the anthem has become synonymous with the never-say-die Welsh attitude to big sporting occasions.
What are the lyrics to Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau in Welsh?
Usually only the first verse and the chorus is sung at sporting events, but we’ve included the whole lot for you lot keen enough to see the whole thing.
Verse 1
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Chorus
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i’m gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i’r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i’r hen iaith barhau.
Fans raise the roof during a rousing renditionCredit: Times Newspapers Ltd
Verse 2
Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i’m golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.
Verse 3
Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymru mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.
What are the lyrics in English?
Obviously with the anthem being sung in Welsh, this is only the translation and won’t be belted out during the Six Nations like this.
But it’s good know what the lyrics mean – and they’re suitably patriotic.
Verse 1
This land of my fathers is dear to me,
Land of poets and singers, and people of stature,
Her brave warriors, fine patriots,
Shed their blood for freedom.
Chorus
Land! Land! I am true to my land!
As long as the sea serves as a wall for this pure, dear land.
May the language endure for ever. More
