Hamilton misses tyre test to rest sore foot
LONDON • Three-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has pulled out of a tyre test in Barcelona to rest a sore foot ahead of next week's US Grand Prix in Austin.

Liniers told to fix crooked pitch
BUENOS AIRES • From above, the football pitch in Liniers - a working-class neighbourhood in Buenos Aires - looks like an elementary school pupil's first attempts at geometry.
