Next-gen cars have Hamilton sold on F1 future

LEWIS HAMILTON is set to extend his career beyond 2020 after giving his seal of approval to Formula One’s next-generation car.

On the eve of the Singapore Grand Prix, F1 chiefs provided a glimpse into the future with an exciting prototype that could change the sport.

Hamilton, second behind Kimi Raikkonen in second practice, has UPDATE been disappointed with the technical direction F1 has taken.

But the 33-year-old, using typically colourful language on his Instagram account, said: “This s*** looks dope af. I’m definitely going to be driving if the cars look like this.” SNOOKER: Ronnie O’Sullivan is one win from pocketing a £200,000 pay day at the Shanghai Masters.

The Rocket stormed to an impressive 10-6 win over young gun Kyren Wilson in their semifinal clash in China to set up a clash with Ding Junhui or Barry Hawkins in tomorrow’s final. CURLING: Bruce Mouat can still reach tomorrow’s final after another big win at the World Cup in Suzhou, China, but fellow Scot Jennifer Dodds is out.

Mouat thrashed Japan’s Masaki Iwai 9-2 to face Kevin Koe while Dodds lost 6-4 to Anna Hasselborg and 7-5 to Satsuki Fujisawa. CYCLING: Simon Yates has one more mountain test to pass in his La Vuelta bid after stretching his lead by more than a minute with a fine ride on stage 19 to Andorra.
