Lewis Hamilton says he knows where to “search for now” as the seven-time world champion feels he made a breakthrough with the understanding of his Ferrari in the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Despite a surprising win in the Chinese GP sprint, Hamilton’s first season with Ferrari had not been going as smoothly as the British driver hoped, as he believed his car was underperforming compared to team-mate Charles Leclerc‘s.
The Scuderia was the team with the most upgrades in Bahrain, with the introduction of a new floor the highlight as it seeks more performance to get closer to the front-running squads.
Hamilton qualified a disappointing ninth on Saturday, six places behind Leclerc, but overnight changes that moved his set-up closer to the Monegasque lifted both his fortunes and his spirits on Sunday.
Although the pace appeared not to change significantly over the Sakhir weekend, Hamilton thinks it helped him in making progress to better adapt to the car’s demands to at least match Leclerc’s pace.
The Briton finished fifth in the race, a place behind Leclerc, as he felt the car changes had made a “night and day” difference that he believes can now build on in future races.

“It’s not easy out there, everyone’s so close and the car is sometimes quite hard to drive so and I’m really working hard to adapt my driving style, that’s what I really want to do,” Hamilton said after the race.
“Also get the set-up where I need to. We’ve got a much better set-up where I moved to where Charles was. I think just getting confidence in that and then adjusting the driver’s style to it.”
He added: “I learned a lot today. That middle stint I really was in line with the car and in that moment I had the pace and I was moving forwards. I needed that in the beginning and I needed it in qualifying, so I know what to search for now.”
Ferrari’s race, and particularly Leclerc’s, was somewhat hurt by the timing of the safety car in Bahrain, as it narrowed its tyre strategy options and cost him a potential shot at a podium finish.

CAMBRIDGE, MA (May 15, 2025) – The Tufts University women’s track and field team went all-in at the M.I.T. Final Qualifier with a fantastic performance to lead into the NCAA Division III Championships next weekend.
Jackie Wells landed the biggest performance of the day by breaking the program record in the javelin throw. Her career best mark of 42.41 (139′ 1″) broke the previous program record by over nine inches and earned her first place among a field of Division I, II and III opponents.
Makayla Moriarty brought home a fantastic result in the 200m dash, taking fifth place in a competitive field with a new personal best time of 24.95. It was a top mark in the NCAA Division III and just three tenths of a second off of the Tufts program record.
Arielle Chechile set the third best time in Tufts history with a third place finish in the 400m hurdles. Her personal best time of 1:00.64 was just a couple of seconds off of the program record.
Harper Meek brought home a win in the high jump. Her first place mark of 1.65m was just two centimeters off of her personal best, and was a fitting end to her time with the Jumbos.
Elysse Cumberland continued to shine as she took third place in the long jump. Her mark of 5.70m was enough to earn her a podium among the competitive field of athletes from all levels of the NCAA.
Ceci LaBarge also broke her personal record, tossing a career best hammer throw of 50.12m. It was an improvement of exactly 90 cm, and earned her fifth place in the event.
The Jumbos will now shift gears to the final meet of the season as they head to Geneva, Ohio for the 2025 NCAA Division III Women’s Outdoor Track and FIeld Championships.

Lafayette area top plays spring April 21 May 2nd
Rossville pitcher Zac Wainscott and outfielder Ashton Abbott host the Lafayette area plays of the week from April 21 to May 2.
WEST LAFAYETTE ― The clash between Zionsville and Lafayette Jeff Thursday, May 15, indicated just how far boys volleyball in Indiana has come as it concludes the first season under IHSAA overwatch.
While the Indianapolis area has produced nationally ranked high school teams, there were questions about whether or not Lafayette Jeff could handle the size and pressure brought about by Zionsville.
Zionsville beat Lafayette Jeff twice during the regular season but faced determined resistance from the Bronchos. Zionsville was more consistent.
Seniors 6-foot-5 outside hitter Anders Christianson pounded 15 kills, left hander Mason Archer slammed 11 kills and Liam Vigil added 10 kills as the Eagles outlasted Lafayette Jeff in a first-round thriller of the IHSAA sectional quarterfinals, 11-25, 25-20, 25-22, 20-25, 15-11.
The other sectional quarterfinal saw Harrison sweep North Putnam in three sets, 25-11, 25-8, 25-20. Harrison will face Zionsville in the second semifinal Saturday, May 17, with the championship game later that night at Harrison.
Senior captain Kevin Braxton led the Bronchos with 14 kills, junior Azlan Rodriguez added 13 kills and junior setter Josh Waller totaled eight kills, 12 digs and four assists for Lafayette Jeff (17-8).
“We played amazing, we played with our heart, and we made a bridge off that,” Waller said. “We played as a family, and we were all there.”
Lafayette Jeff struggled containing Christianson while Zionsville (22-10) collectively began hitting short middle shots. Zionsville overcame being down 15-9 in the third set before Lafayette Jeff rallied in the fourth.
Lafayette Jeff forced the fifth set despite starting junior middle blocker Colin Smith injuring his left ankle in the fourth frame.
“It was a heartbreaker, but we knew he was going to support us no matter what, whether he was on the court or on the bench,” Braxton said.
Lafayette Jeff will many return key players next year, including Rodriguez and Waller, who are receiving college looks.
Rodriguez led the Bronchos with 208 kills while Waller proved to be a well-rounded player, totaling 118 kills, 102 digs and 59 assists for the 2025 campaign.
Set one: Zionsville looked like a team that woke up from a nap, while Lafayette Jeff looked engaged from the jump. A 3-0 lead ballooned to an 18-6 advantage. Junior setter Josh Waller and libero Edwin Rodriguez-Arteaga led a strong shot receive and never looked out of sorts. The balance of Waller set the stage for senior Kevin Braxton with three kills and a block. Junior Azlan Rodriguez has a 4-foot vertical and swift enough to play defensive specialist or libero in college. Lafayette Jeff couldn’t have asked for a better start.
Set two: Zionsville senior lefty outside hitter Mason Archer went on the offensive. Controlling passing in the back row, they were able to turn the momentum of the match. Short side and far side shots found their mark and the back row for Lafayette Jeff splintered. Zionsville won the set by five, but the gap felt larger.
Set three: Zionsville kept its composure in the crunch and Lafayette Jeff didn’t. A pair of late third set hitting errors plus a debated touch ultimately helped the Eagles claw back from a 15-9 deficit to take set three. Christianson and Archer provided the juice offensively backed by libero Landon Scroggins. Rodriguez had the highlight play, but Zionsville was more consistent in its shot receive.
Set four: This set illustrated what makes the speed and strategy of volleyball entertaining and fun. And it came with some drama with Smith’s injury. Senior Kmaury Moten gave Lafayette Jeff a boost off the bench, while an explosive effort from Rodriguez and Josh Waller forced a fifth set.
Set five: Lafayette Jeff ran out of steam, struggling against the physicality of Archer, Vigil and Christianson. Rodriguez had some flashes, but errors on shot receive doomed Lafayette Jeff.
Harrison, led by sophomore 6-foot-3 outside hitter Cole Hess and junior Emerson Mohr, made the first two sets look easy.
But then an 8-4 deficit morphed into a 14-10 drought against North Putnam (5-11) in the third set.
“I think our communication was off and we brought that connection back up,” Mohr said.
Eventually Harrison found its way to earn the sweep and set up a semifinal matchup with Zionsville on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. The winner plays either McCutcheon (14-9) or Lebanon (4-7-1) for the first IHSAA sectional championship in Harold May Gymnasium in West Lafayette at 6 p.m. later that day.
Hess believes Harrison is prepared to play Zionsville, ranked No. 6 in the state according to rankings on maxpreps.com.
“I think they’re more beatable now, now that we got to watch them play,” Hess said.

PROVO — Only a few dozen medals were awarded, but multiple state records weren’t safe on the first day of the 5A and 6A state track and field meet at BYU’s Clarence F. Robison Track Complex.
Timpview star Jane Hedengren broke her own state record in the 5A girls’ 3,200-meter run in 9 minutes, 48.73 seconds, while Mountain Ridge’s Kinzlee Riddle tied the state record in a 6A girls’ 200-meter qualifying heat in 23.30 seconds.
It’s one of several rewritten records by Hedengren, who held the previous state record set last year in 9:52.96. The senior who has signed with BYU also holds state records in the 800 meters (2:05.96), 1,600 meters (4:32.61), and was part of the 5A-record relay teams in the 4×400 and 4×800-meter squads set last year en route to winning Ms. Track honors by the Deseret News.
“It’s bittersweet being (the last 3,200) with this team,” Hedengren said after the race. “I’m kind of sad it’s the last one, but I’m really excited to get to do it with these ladies today.”
The previous Ms. Track honoree, Fremont’s Amare Harlan who currently runs and jumps for Michigan, also saw her state record time of 23.30 in the 200 tied in Thursday’s 6A girls’ qualifying heat. Riddle, who also ran the fastest qualifying time in the 100 meters in 11.81 and second-fastest in the 400 in 56.17, will have a shot at the record in Saturday’s final — as well as the state 400 record held by Provo’s Meghan Hunter (52.59).
Riddle set the 6A record in the event earlier this month when she ran a 53.01 at the PACS BYU Invitational back on May 2.
American Fork leads the 6A boys’ meet with 50 points, ahead of Herriman (41), Lone Peak (26) and defending champion Corner Canyon (25). Maple Mountain and Viewmont are tied atop the 5A boys’ leaderboard with 33 points, just two ahead of Springville and three more than Woods Cross.
The Vikings got a boost from Hayden Arbuckle, who won the 5A 3,200-meter race 9:07.86 before setting a new 5A record in the 4×800-meter relay with teammates Talmage Bruschke, Ben Hyde and Bryce Arbuckle in 7:42.55.
The Cavemen also lead the 6A girls’ meet by a tighter margin, 34.5 to 31 over second-place Riverton, with Herriman (30), Lone Peak (28) and Layton (23) just behind.
Two-time defending champion Timpview is two points behind Spanish Fork in the 5A girls’ meet with 30 points, ahead of Cedar Valley (18.5) and Box Elder (16).

MEDAN, Indonesia (AP) — On the motorbike seat, she started the engine, sped up and began a death-defying performance inside the track known as the Satan’s Barrel.
Sri Wahyuni was the star of the most-awaited performance at the night fair in the outskirts of Medan city in Indonesia’s North Sumatra province.
She began riding the Satan’s Barrel at 17, drawn to it by curiosity while searching for work. Now 25, she’s a key performer in this iconic Indonesian night fair act.
Riding in the Satan’s Barrel requires courage. The riders don’t wear helmets on the velodrome track also known as the Wall of Death.
Wahyuni always rides with one other biker, and sometimes as many as five ride on the circular track, its painted wooden walls 6 to 10 meters (19 to 33 feet) in diameter.
That, of course, makes the audience nervous.
Wahyuni works at least four hours a night. One recent evening, the single mother took her 5-year-old daughter to the fair, fed her, then let her wait at the ticket box during the show.
At the end of the performance, the women spread their arms and even held hands on their motorbikes, signaling the finale.
The audience stuck out their hands to give money from the top of the barrel, and Wahyuni and her partner welcomed the bills one by one, a tip for the excitement they presented that night.
Afterward, they tidied up the bikes and counted their tips.
Wahyuni earns a weekly salary, but the tips help with rent and daily needs for her small family. She admits it is difficult for her to find a new job or start a business by herself.
“I am hoping for the best. I think there is no way I can keep working like this,” Wahyuni said.
