FIA chief says Qatar, Abu Dhabi GPs to go ahead

PARIS, France — The final races of the Formula One season in Qatar and Abu Dhabi will go ahead as planned despite tensions in the Middle East, the president of motorsports' governing body Mohammed Ben Sulayem said on Tuesday. The last two grands prix of the year are scheduled for November 29 in Qatar and December 6 in Abu Dhabi. The Saudi Arabia Grand Prix earlier this year was scrapped following the outbreak of the United States and Israel's war with Iran, while the Bahrain race was delayed and moved to Malaysia. "We are ready for Qatar and Abu Dhabi," FIA chief Ben Sulayem said on social media. "We are fully prepared and committed to delivering two outstanding grands prix weekends and a spectacular conclusion to the Formula One world championship. "We look forward to welcoming drivers, teams and fans to two iconic circuits for an unforgettable finish to the season. See you on the grid." Ben Sulayem's comments echo those made by F1 boss Stefano Domenicali last month. F1 drivers have expressed mixed feelings about racing in the Middle East, with four-time world champion Max Verstappen among those to air his reservations. Italian youngster Kimi Antonelli has already wrapped up the drivers' world championship title, while his Mercedes team secured the constructors' crown last weekend in Sao Paulo. Several events in Saudi Arabia, which borders Qatar and the UAE, have been cancelled or postponed in recent weeks following attacks on the country by Yemen's Houthis.

San Beda tramples Benilde to take Group A top seed

MANILA, Philippines — Amid all the twists and turns of the elimination round, defending champion San Beda University secured the Group A top seed after toppling College of Saint Benilde, 82-69, in the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament on Tuesday afternoon at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. Despite being tied with Jose Rizal University (JRU) with a 10-3 win-loss record, San Beda took the top spot in the “Group of Death,” due to the win-over-the-other rule. San Beda defeated JRU twice in the elimination round, giving the Mendiola-based squad the advantage. Taking the one-two slot in Group A, both San Beda and JRU head to the quarterfinals with a twice-to-beat incentive. The Yuri Escueta-mentored team will either face Group B’s bottom teams, Perpetual and San Sebastián, which will clash in the play-in round San Sebastián needs to win over Perpetual twice in order to earn a quarterfinals slot. Andrei Ugaddan led the scoring for San Beda with 18 points and five rebounds, while Jimmy Reyes added 12 points. “We just trained, and we really worked hard for it, as you can see. We made sure to get back over Benilde,” rookie Ugaddan said after the game. Two more Red Lions hit the double-digit mark, with Aldous Torculas putting up 11 points, while John Bonzalida added 10. Justine Sanchez put up the fight for Benilde with 15 points, while Jhomel Ancheta added 10. Benilde fell to an 8-5 win-loss record and is seeded third in Group A. The Blazers will face Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC).
