Andretti back in Miami awaiting word on F1 expansion

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:17:09 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Michael Andretti is back at the Miami Grand Prix with his financial backers networking throughout the paddock in his bid to land a Formula One team.Andretti Global is one of four known applicants to submit official “expression of interest” documentation to the FIA, which in January created a formal process to explore expanding the grid beyond its current 10 teams. The initial deadline of April 30 was extended to May 15th.The process began after Andretti, who in 2021 failed to purchase the Sauber team, asked the FIA to expand the F1 grid so he could field an American two-car team. Andretti at last year’s inaugural race in Miami went team-to-team in an unsuccessful request to have them sign a petition in support of his efforts.All but two teams have been vehemently opposed to the addition of Andretti — or expanding the grid in general — because they don’t want to dilute revenue.Current F1 regulations contain provisions for up to 13 teams, and the...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:17:09 GMT

ST. PETERSBURG — The start of Luis Severino’s rehab assignment is right around the corner.The right-hander, out since the end of spring training with a lat injury, is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, according to Aaron Boone. Severino will fly home from Tampa Bay with the team Sunday after throwing three innings and 40 pitches in an intrasquad game at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Friday.That game was closed to the media, but Boone said that the Yankees’ player development personnel and trainers watched Severino throw.The manager added that Severino will need “at least a couple” starts in the minors before he can make his 2023 debut for the Yankees. He’ll target 50ish pitches on Wednesday with the RailRiders.Severino, an impending free agent, has pitched in just 26 games since 2019, including 19 starts last season, when he recorded a 3.18 ERA. Severino is one of three Yankees starters who began the year on the ...

L.A. business brace for ripple effects of Hollywood writers’ strike

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:17:09 GMT

Last time there was a Hollywood writers’ strike, in 2007, the resulting halt in filmmaking activity depleted the savings of Pam and Jim Elyea’s prop house History for Hire, so much so that they had to defer a dream of owning their own warehouse.Years later, COVID-19 brought another formidable challenge for their North Hollywood business, which has supplied props including period-appropriate luggage for “Titanic” and cameras for Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans.”Now history is repeating itself with a new writers’ strike that began on Tuesday, which is causing a significant portion of local production to shut down.“COVID didn’t kill us,” Pam Elyea said. “I don’t want this to be the thing that kills us.”This week, the Writers Guild of America, which represents 11,500 members, hit picket lines to demand better pay and treatment after contract talks with the major studios broke down.Writers are seeking i...

New Jets tight end Zack Kuntz models his game after Mike Gesicki of Patriots

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:17:09 GMT

Zack Kuntz compares himself to a player on a divisional rival.Kuntz, a seventh-round draft pick by the Jets in last week’s NFL draft, began his college career at Penn State before transferring to Old Dominion for his final two years of eligibility. So it is natural Kuntz models his game after former Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki, who spent five seasons with the Dolphins before signing with the Patriots this offseason.“I’m familiar with him through our roots at Penn State,” Kuntz said about Gesicki. “Some of the coaches that we had and the offenses that we fit in. Obviously, it’s an easy comparison for me.“He’s an athletic freak, as everybody knows. He’s a guy that I kind of see as similar.”If Kuntz’s career mirrors anything close to Gesicki’s, the Jets could have one of the steals of the 2023 draft. In five seasons with the Dolphins, Gesicki caught 231 passes for 2,617 yards and 18 touchdowns. Gesicki parlay...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:17:09 GMT

Carlos Carrasco’s return looked imminent earlier this week, but his mid-May timeline now appears to be in doubt.Carrasco, who has been sidelined with bone spurs in his right elbow, was slated to make a rehab start this weekend. But an illness is preventing him from going out on a rehab assignment. His start was moved from Friday to Saturday, then to Sunday, and now the Mets are unsure when and where it will take place as the 36-year-old right-hander continues to deal with some sort of illness.“He’s not doing well,” manager Buck Showalter said Saturday before the Mets played the second game of a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies at Citi Field. “He’s got the mask on and staying away from everyone and wiping everything down because he does have to throw.”Carrasco has been present in the Mets clubhouse since the club returned home from Detroit for the weekend series against Colorado, and the Mets can’t seem to figure out what ...

CHICAGO (AP) — Newton N. Minow, who as Federal Communications Commission chief in the early 1960s famously proclaimed that network television was a “vast wasteland,” died Saturday. He was 97.Minow, who received a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016, died Saturday at home, surrounded by loved ones, said his daughter, Nell Minow.“He wanted to be at home,” she told The Associated Press. “He had a good life.”Though Minow remained in the FCC post just two years, he left a permanent stamp on the broadcasting industry through government steps to foster satellite communications, the passage of a law mandating UHF reception on TV sets and his outspoken advocacy for quality in television.“My faith is in the belief that this country needs and can support many voices of television — and that the more voices we hear, the better, the richer, the freer we shall be,” Minow once said. “After all, the airways belong to the people.”Minow was appointed as FCC chief...
