MGood morning, it's Sunday, and the sports world did not sleep.
LKimi Antonelli just won the US Grand Prix, and now Formula 1 is teasing his next mission in Mexico.
MF1 posted a teaser fifteen minutes ago: 'The mission for Kimi Antonelli is as follows...' with the eyes emoji.
LThat's the kind of post that gets you out of bed. The kid is on a tear.
MHe won at COTA, and now the Mexico GP is next. The replies are already crowning him.
LOne fan wrote, 'Kimi for the title, RB will be back next year.'
MHold on, let's get the podium right. A post going around says Leclerc finished second at COTA.
LThat's wrong. AP has Leclerc third. Antonelli won, but Leclerc was not second.
MSo the hype is real, but the details matter. Kimi's mission in Mexico is the story.
LAnd speaking of F1, there's a wild rumor about a Rwanda Grand Prix.
MSome accounts claim Verstappen, Marko, and Hamilton are backing it, sharing personal connections to the country.
LWe couldn't confirm that anywhere. It's a claim, not a fact.
MBut if it's true, that's a massive new market for F1. Africa has been begging for a race.
LI'd love to see it. But until a real source confirms, it's just noise.
MNow baseball. Andrew Wagner posted a sarcastic take on World Series ratings.
LHe says only 12.2 million watched, so the ALDS and NLCS results should have been ignored.
MHe's joking, but he's making a point: the league wanted Yankees-Dodgers for the ratings.
LAnd a Dodgers fan account claims Friday's Game 1 was top five in the last ten years.
MThat number is unverified. The 2024 series was huge, but this year's figure isn't confirmed.
LStill, the Yankees and Dodgers are the biggest draw in baseball. That's not a debate.
MAnd then there's a parody post about a Yankees-Dodgers rematch in Mumbai. Pure comedy.
LBaseball in India? That's a stretch, but it got a laugh.
MQuick check on Shohei Ohtani. A post calls him the greatest two-way superstar ever.
LThat's not a hot take. That's just facts. The man pitches and hits like a video game.
MAnd finally, a claim going around says Barcelona's injury crisis gave a 20-year-old his debut, with Brian Fariñas helping beat Alavés.
LThat's unconfirmed, but if true, another La Masia kid stepping up. That academy is a machine.
MThat's your Sunday morning sports rundown. Kimi's mission, F1 rumors, and baseball's ratings war.
