Update – Race Sport

It looked set to join the other nine Formula 1 races already cancelled worldwide due to the pandemic — and its 300,000 ticket-holders have been offered refunds.

However, culture ministers are now working with F1 bosses on an ambitious proposal to run a televised race without any spectators, The Sun has learned.

Both sides are desperate to save the spectacle — set for Silverstone on Sunday, July 19 — if they can, as it is an iconic event in Britain’s sporting calendar.

F1 chiefs now think they can restart the season, with all races closed events, beginning in Austria on July 5.

Fans were given hope as a senior Government source said: “We’re having regular talks and everyone is being positive. If we can do this safely, we should try to get it on.”

De La Hoya 47, retired from boxing after losing to Manny Pacquiao in 2008.

But that didn’t stop him from calling out UFC superstar McGregor earlier this week.

De La Hoya told State of Combat: “Oh come on brother, two rounds [against McGregor].

“One thing about me, I went for the kill, always.

“Look, McGregor, I love him in the Octagon, I respect him.

“I watch him all the time but the boxing ring is a whole different story.”

McGregor has now responded to De La Hoya’s threat, tweeting: “I accept your challenge.”

Hate him or love him, 6ix9ine is back.

Just a month after his release from prison to home confinement, the embattled rapper returns with new music. On Friday, Tekashi dropped “GOOBA,” his first release since his 2018 debut Dummy Boy. On the aggressive track, he unleashes his wrath on the haters and clout chasers, while having the last laugh.

He also addresses snitching on members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods in return for a reduced sentence: “Tell me how I ratted, came home to a big bag.”

6ix9ine was released from a Queens Detention Facility on April 2 to avoid contracting the coronavirus. He will remain under supervised release until July 31. Expect even more more music from him while in lockdown. He has set up a studio at home and is recording an English and Spanish album as part of his multi-million-dollar deal with 10K Projects.

Eminem has nothin’ but love for Tupac.

When it comes to songwriting, the “Rap God” says Pac is the GOAT. While hosting his “Music to Be Quarantined By” show over the weekend on his SiriusXM channel Shade45, Em heaped praise on the West Coast rap legend.

Before playing “If I Die 2Nite” off 1995’s Me Against the World, he revealed why Pac’s pen was so potent. “This is one of them songs by Tupac that to me he was showing you like, I can write heartfelt shit and I can write lyrical crazy shit too,” he added before reciting lyrics from the Pac classic.

“The play on the P words and how he was doing it was so crazy, mixed with the feel that Tupac could give you, which is constantly why I feel like he was always saying, ‘Can you feel me?’ Because you felt Pac. You can’t just listen to Pac, you feel Pac. If you listen to him, you’re gonna feel him.”

During his “Music to Be Quarantined By” broadcast, Eminem also acknowledged EPMD for revolutionizing hip-hop with their blend of funk and rap, and revealed why Special Ed is one of his favorite rappers.

One Montreal borough is taking action to ensure things don’t go back to normal. Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie has announced a pilot project to reduce car traffic and give priority to pedestrians and cyclists. The pilot project begins this summer.

The borough will establish nine “pedestrian-priority living environments” where only local traffic is permitted, “allowing local streets to offer more safe spaces for active users,” according to a statement.

It also promises “other innovative and safe measures” to “facilitate active travel and encourage the use of public space by residents, while respecting the rules of physical distancing.”

Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie residents will also see an additional 50 kilometers of bike paths take shape
