Trump said when he returns to Washington, “we will work together on any and all outstanding issues, but there shouldn’t be many — The Bill is GREAT. We have no alternative, WE MUST WIN!”But one key Republican, Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, implored his party

He still held on to win ahead of Norris, who overtook Piastri for second with five laps remaining.Verstappen took his second win of the season, the first win since last month’s Japanese Grand Prix, and his fourth in a row at Imola.
Verstappen praised Red Bull’s “fantastic execution all round” as the team marked its 400th F1 race with a win.“The start itself wasn’t particularly great, but I was still on the outside line, or basically the normal (racing) line, and I was like, ‘Well, I’m just going to try and send it round the outside,’ and it worked really well,” Verstappen said of his crucial overtake. “That, of course, unleashed our pace because once we were in the lead, the car was good.”
