U.S. President Donald Trump praised Nicki Minaj's "beautiful" bottom during a bizarre speech at a rally in Michigan on Sunday.
The Starships rapper, who is a vocal supporter of the U.S. leader, joined Trump on his plane, Air Force One, and on stage at the pre-midterms rally in Port Huron.
During his speech, Trump made cheeky comments about Minaj's rear end as he explained his recent remarks about Republican Ohio senator Jon Husted's derriere.
"By the way, I looked at one ***** of a beautiful a*s before - Nicki Minaj," Trump said, as the crowd cheered. "That's hard to miss. That - stand up! That's hard to miss."
Minaj stood up and turned around to face the audience. After she sat back down, Trump continued, "OK, I'm going to get back to my story, Nicki. I hope Nicki wasn't insulted, but we love Nicki. She's been with us for a long time."
Earlier in the rally, the Pound the Alarm singer pledged her continued support of Trump, telling him that it is an "honour to stand with you every single time" and that he will have her backing "forever and ever".

Rapper Nicki Minaj publicly endorsed US President Donald Trump at a Republican campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday, 25 October, ahead of the November midterm elections. After travelling aboard Air Force One, the Trinidadian-born artist joined him on stage, telling the crowd "We love Trump" and promising to support him "forever".
Nicki Minaj's increasingly public support for Donald Trump represents a notable political shift for a rapper whose provocative performances and **** ually explicit lyrics have often sparked controversy.
In 2020, she had criticised his administration's strict immigration policies, particularly the separation of children from their parents at the US border. More recently, however, she has appeared at events **** ociated with his presidency.
The Michigan rally also featured renewed attacks by Trump against Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for the US Senate. The president questioned El-Sayed's loyalty to the United States, allegations the former public health official has repeatedly rejected.
Trump's remarks came as Republicans campaigned ahead of the midterms, with Minaj's appearance adding a prominent celebrity endorsement to the event. A video shared by White House communications director Steven Cheung also showed the rapper joking about becoming the administration's press secretary.

Jillian Michaels admitted "a lot of Republicans" come up to her and express how "unhappy" they are with President Donald Trump as she warned the party not to rely on MAGA loyalists in the midterms.
On her Keeping It Real podcast on Friday, Michaels, a fitness trainer who has more recently turned to political commentary, reacted to a recent Fox News interview with musician and Trump supporter Nicki Minaj, who insisted MAGA remains loyal to Trump despite his falling poll numbers — which he has dismissed as fake news.
"They talk about how MAGA is still very loyal to Trump, but MAGA is not a big percentage, a big percentage of the total voting pool, because it's not the entire Republican Party," Michaels said.
She then turned to recent polling breaking down how voters identify with parties and movements.
According to Pew Research Center data, 28% of voters identify as Republicans, 29% identify as Democrats, and 44% identify as independent or something else. Among those independents, 43% lean Republican and 47% lean towards Democrats.

Nicki Minaj has taken aim at the Democratic Party by alleging that the political party has become infatuated with "pop culture."
On Saturday morning (September 26), Fox News shared a teaser clip of the Pink Friday 2 rapper's sit-down interview with Lara Trump, the wife of President Donald Trump's third child, Eric Trump.
In the last year, Minaj has pivoted from music to politics by exhibiting a full show of support for Donald Trump, largely in opposition of Gavin Newsom. Minaj has alleged that the California governor turned a blind eye to her Los Angeles home being swatted multiple times.
"I think the Democrats have gotten way too caught up in pop culture, for lack of a better term," Minaj said in the clip below.

Washington hosts Utah State tomorrow but before we transition to Saturday's gameday coverage. Here is the Week 1 mailbag!
Chicken Little: Is it time to panic?
I wouldn't say the sky is falling, but there is certainly plenty of reason to be concerned. The Huskies' struggles on offense are excusable, but they make you seriously consider a complete shift in expectations now that their two best running backs will miss time. Washington is in desperate need of a hot start to stay as healthy as possible for the toughest games on the schedule, which come in the second half of the season. I get that rivalry games can be funky, but there is zero reason why the Apple Cup should've been as close as it was. Wazzu's offense was horrid, and Washington's was equally so until the fourth quarter. For a team wanting to compete with the Big Ten elite… that's bad. I'm not panicking just yet, but I am considering lowering my win total because I'm not sure if UW will be healthy enough to be the best version of itself.
iadawg: Ellinneus Davis was supposed to be the best defensive lineman but he only had the third most snaps of defensive linemen. Can you explain this? Thanks.
Definitely strange, but I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about it unless it happens against Utah State and Eastern Washington. There's a good chance he had a minor injury bugging him, or head coach Jedd Fisch and defensive coordinator Ryan Walters saw opportunities with other lineman and took advantage. In the end, it worked out for the Huskies. His lower-than-expected usage rate is not a trend that I think will continue through the remainder of September.

Tress Way has been a member of the Commanders for more than a decade, but it sounds like they're going to have to start planning for life without him.
Way will begin his 13th season with the team on Sunday and he announced on Thursday that he expects it to be his final one as an NFL player.
"I am pretty sure this is gonna be my last season," Way said, via Nicki Jhabvala of TheAthletic.com.
Way joined the Commanders in 2014 after being waived by the Bears and he has appeared in every game for the team over the last 12 years. He is a three-time Pro Bowler and was named a second-team All-Pro in 2019. He is currently tied for fifth in games played in franchise history and will be No. 3 on the list if he plays in every game this season.

On a night where plenty of his team-mates were panicking, Lawrence Shankland was a figure of calm for Rangers in Falkirk.
His two goals were decisive for Derek McInnes' side, earning a second Scottish Premiership win of the season days after the captain's penalty delivered the first at Pittodrie.
In an error-strewn game that lacked quality, Shankland was the difference maker.
His first whistled into the roof of the net off his weaker left foot, while his second - again on his left - was passed into the bottom corner with the game on a knife edge.
Falkirk boss John McGlynn summed up the Scotland striker's impact.

Why is everyone, all of a sudden, so down on the 2026 Washington Commanders? In recent days, several in the national media have predicted that the Commanders will finish last in the NFC East this upcoming season. Yes, that's right, even behind the New York Giants.
The doubts began when left tackle Laremy Tunsil tore his triceps on Aug. 8. However, the script really turned against the Commanders after their joint practice with the Ravens. And when one national **** yst jumps in with a "bold prediction," it becomes a trend. Picking Washington to finish last in the NFC East is apparently the new thing to do.
On a recent edition of "First Things First," all three hosts apparently saw Nicki Jhabvala's X post on Aug. 26, where she called the Commanders' offensive line "inoperable" during the joint practice with the Ravens. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Danny Parkins all picked Washington last.
"I don't like their weapons. The offensive line is banged up. They have a bad defense," Wright said.
It doesn't sound like Wright knows what he's talking about. Why? How does he know the defense is bad? Could it be bad? Absolutely. Do we know that it's bad? No. Washington made a serious financial investment on that side of the ball this offseason and hired Brian Flores' top lieutenant, Daronte Jones, as the new defensive coordinator.

Transfer deadline day for Liverpool was fairly slow.
The Anfield outfit made a lot of their moves on bank holiday Monday with deals for Lucca Brughmans and Djylian N'Guessan being lined up before the window slammed shut.
Bradley Barcola was also welcomed on 31 August with the Frenchman being one of the Reds' most anticipated deals of the window.
After his arrival, Liverpool had four left-wingers among their ranks and only one right-winger.
However, with the way that Andoni Iraola wants his wingers to play, they all need to be versatile and able to play anywhere across the front three which is why the Reds probably aren't panicking that much about their attacking options.

The Trump administration is producing a reality show competition featuring rapper Nicki Minaj as one of its judges and former Superman actor Dean Cain as host
The Million Dollar Pitch Competition will give away prizes from a $1 million pool to five entrepreneurs pitching their small businesses for investment
Small Business Administration head Kelly Loeffler boosted the competition as "bringing the boardroom energy" like The Apprentice, the reality show President Donald Trump hosted for over a decade
The Trump administration is producing a reality show competition featuring rapper Nicki Minaj as one of its judges and former Superman actor Dean Cain as its host, Small Business Administration (SBA) head Kelly Loeffler announced this week.
The Million Dollar Pitch Competition will give away prizes from a $1 million cash pool to five entrepreneurs pitching their small businesses for investment, according to a Monday, Aug. 31, release from the SBA.

Nicki Minaj will serve as a judge of the Trump administration's upcoming business competition on 18 September.
The Starships rapper, who is a vocal supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, will serve as a judge of the Small Business Administration's Million Dollar Pitch Competition, a live event in Washington D.C., on 18 September.
According to Fox News Digital, Minaj will be joined by entrepreneur and private equity fund manager Grant Cardone and co-founder of Airbnb and U.S. Chief Design Office Joe Gebbia on the judging panel. Former Superman Dean Cain will host the event.
The five entrepreneurs and finalists will make the case for their business during the event, and the judges will decide how to divide the $1 million (£739,000) prize pot between them. All five finalists are guaranteed a payout.
The Pound the Alarm hitmaker shared the news on X and wrote, "This is a major, MAJOR KEY. Sooooooooooo (sic) looking forward to this!!! Imagine being a part of the Trump Administration's initiative to support small businesses. Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!"
Entrepreneurs from across the U.S. submitted pitches earlier this year, and they were whittled down to five finalists.

More than anything to do with his expected performance on the field headed into Year 3 of his NFL career, the story of Jayden Daniels' offseason focused on a strange beef that became public with his college team.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback for LSU, who is now the starting signal-caller for the Washington Commanders, sent his former university a cease-and-desist letter over the use of his name, image, and likeness after the Tigers gave his No. 5 jersey to cornerback DJ Pickett.
The story has already been memed to death, but it's apparently no laughing matter for Daniels, who refused to answer questions about it during a press scrum earlier this week.
"Nah, I posted a statement on Instagram and it said everything I needed to say. So, appreciate y'all," Daniels told reporters.
The reporter who asked the question was Nicki Jhabvala, who covers the Commanders for The Athletic. After the video of Daniels refusing to answer the question went viral on social media, some online took issue with asking Daniels about the situation at all.

Has Wall Street stopped panicking about AI chatbots destroying Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s traditional search business? On August 19, ****** yst Scott Devitt initiated coverage on the stock with a Buy rating, noting how concerns around Search have largely played out. However, declaring a multi-year risk narrative to be effectively over is a bold ****** ertion worth stress testing.
The data shows Google controls 90% of the search market. However, the risk still looms as people often turn to chatbots to search for information. Against this backdrop, the company has redesigned the search box for the first time in 25 years, placing the "AI Mode" ****** on directly in the box.
To discuss things deeper, Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOGL) second-quarter report earlier buried the search figure under two louder storylines. These include a $99 billion paper gain on its equity stakes, and an increase in capital spending plans. However, the numbers are there to decipher.
In the second quarter, Google Search & other revenue grew 17% year over year to $63.3 billion, down from 19% growth in the prior quarter and slightly behind expectations. Search was on a growth streak previously, accelerating from 10% in the first quarter of 2025 to 12% in the second quarter, 15% in the third, 17% in the fourth, and 19% in the first quarter of 2026. However, second quarter of 2026 snapped it.
"Considering Google's search revenue for the second quarter came in at $63.3 billion, slightly behind Wall Street's expectations of $63.4 billion, and investors will likely be scrutinizing the business in the third quarter."

Harry Kane has confirmed that he will hold talks with Bayern Munich in the coming days over a new contract.
Bayern Munich retained the German Super Cup after beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1 on Saturday at Signal Iduna Park.
Michael Olise and Nathaniel Brown scored for the German champions, while Dortmund's Ramy Bensebaini was shown a red card in the 90th minute.
After the match, Kane spoke openly about his future, confirming that he expects to hold talks with Bayern officials over a new contract.
Kane said: "We'll talk this week and next week. We'll just have an open discussion. We're not in a hurry or panicking. My full focus is on Bayern Munich and the upcoming season. The talks will take place behind the scenes. You'll hear about it when there's something to announce."

Much is being made about the Tennessee ***** ans' supposed ongoing struggles in the secondary. It was undeniably disappointing to watch San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Kurtis Rourke complete 12-of-14 passes against the ***** ans' starting secondary in the first preseason game. Starting quarterback Cam Ward has also routinely carved up the starters for most of training camp.
Head coach Robert Saleh isn't panicking, but recently admitted there should be a sense of urgency. Understandably so. The ***** ans committed more than $100 million in free agency to new starting cornerbacks Cor'Dale Flott and Alontae Taylor, and they've been at the forefront of the struggles.
With the ***** ans doing some soul searching, you wonder if cornerback Joshua Williams could contribute something positive at cornerback. He was the third cornerback the ***** ans signed in free agency earlier this offseason. His shared history with Mike Borgonzi and the Kansas City Chiefs made him a target.
Williams has been wearing a yellow non-contact jersey at training camp due to a pectoral muscle injury. Coach Saleh recently claimed he's close to shedding that jersey and being a full participant at practice. Saleh also praised his length and work ethic, and Jim Wyatt noted he had a pass breakup during individual drills earlier this week.
Williams is long and competitive. He possesses the physical profile Coach Saleh prefers in his cornerbacks. If Taylor and Flott struggle into the regular season, perhaps Williams will start getting worked into the rotation. For now, he's simply focused on being healthy enough to contribute once his number is called.

The Vanderbilt Commodores started the 2026 season with a win that left a "bitter" taste in Coach Darren Ambrose's mouth according to his post-game interview. He used the words sluggish, lethargic, and choreographed to describe the performance. Coach Ambrose harped on being proud and happy with the victory, but he kept focusing on different flaws in the performance. If you saw my comments during and after the match, I am proud to say Coach and I are on the same wavelength.
The pushback that I got was that it was just game 1. It was. I am not panicking. My predictions for the season have not changed. My thoughts about the talent on the team have not changed, except for some concern about one particular position. Armas in goal was not very convincing. Again, it was match 1. I am not going to react too strongly yet.
The Commodores had plenty of possession and tons of shot attempts. They spent more than a third of the match (35%) in possession in the attacking half. Attempting 21 shots but with only 7 on target is where the sharpness and intensity that Ambrose found lacking came into play. They generated 11 corners yet did not score off one. Conversely, SMU was able to turn 21% attacking possession and 8 shot attempts into 4 shots on target and 3 goals. Granted, 1 goal for the Mustangs was a cross that deflected off Grace Freeman's leg in a truly unfortunate moment where Armas was diving out to claim the cross.
The number of players used is really intriguing to me. Typically, Coach Ambrose has gone deep into the bench early in seasons. It normally is paired down to 14 to 16 by the time SEC play starts, but early season matches often see 20 or more players. The tightness of the match and dissatisfaction with the performance may have been why the starters played more as they tried to work out the kinks.
Courtney Jones, Olivia Stafford, and Sydney Watts all have 4 shot attempts and a goal is not particularly surprising. I would have expected Pentz to get off more shots, but she had the early goal on her only attempt. I do not think Fullerton at CAM and Pentz at striker beside Watts is the best lineup for this squad based on natural inclinations of the players and how that effects ******* ing.

LAWRENCE — Speaking recently, as fall camp is in full swing for Kansas football, **** ociate head coach Andy Kotelnicki spoke positively about how things have gone.
Kotelnicki likes what's happening schematically on both sides of the ball. There's been a level of retention, in part because of the amount of work they can do with the players now over the course of the year, that's been impressive. As much as there is attention this month on fall camp, that learning process dates back all the way to January.
Kotelnicki, for one, is impressed with how well the offensive line is working together. As they work out who fits where best, he's excited about the potential of that group. There's also more size there than when he was previously on staff at KU, prior to a recent stint at Penn State, and he says that hasn't come at the expense of athleticism and physicality.

Here are some more takeaways from what Kotelnicki had to say:

Commanders' Javon Kinlaw doesn't know where to start with 'freak of nature' Sonny Styles appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Washington Commanders came crashing back to earth in 2025 after making a run all the way to the NFC Championship Game after the 2024 season, but they are looking for a bounce back. One of the primary needs in order to get back to the top of the NFL was to improve the defense, and Washington did just that by drafting Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles with the No. 7 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Styles was one of the best off-ball linebacker prospects in recent years. He was a tackling machine at Ohio State, has great size and is an incredible athlete for the position, making him a home run pick in the top 10. Now, in his first training camp in Washington, Styles is already making a strong impression on his teammates.
After Tuesday's training camp practice, defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw gushed about Styles' ability, via Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.

The Washington Commanders opened training camp on Wednesday, and by all reports, the defense has the early advantage over the offense. That's not a surprise. It's how things usually go this time of the year, especially when each side is installing a new scheme.
After an uneven start on Day 1 of training camp, quarterback Jayden Daniels was better on Thursday. Far too often on Wednesday, Daniels held onto the ball for a split second too long. While no contact is allowed right now, Daniels would've been sacked multiple times if it were a game.
Again, much of this is expected right now. It's nothing to be alarmed about. But there is something that should concern Commanders' fans. Check out this X post from Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.
Obviously, Jhabvala is posting a GIF of Stefon Diggs, indicating that her takeaway from two days of camp is that the Commanders need the free-agent wideout.
Various reports have indicated Washington receivers have had trouble gaining separation or have dealt with drops. This is excluding Terry McLaurin, of course. It's not a complete surprise because general manager Adam Peters spent the offseason trying to land another top receiver opposite McLaurin. San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was long thought to be a potential option, but that's now off the table for various reasons.

Nicki Minaj became the subject of one of the night's jokes Friday, July 24, during the White House Correspondents' ****** ociation Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump took the podium to roast Hollywood and the media, invoking the rapper while joking about the organization's April gala, which was cut short after a gunman breached security and opened fire.
"After hearing the gunshots, many people yelled, 'Get down!' which caused Nicki Minaj to start twerking," Trump said. "Can you believe it? She's the only one that really understood what that meant."
Minaj has has become one of Trump's most prominent celebrity supporters during his second term after previously criticizing some of his immigration policies during his first administration.
Earlier this month, she joined Trump at a White House Rose Garden event and later posed with him in the Oval Office. Sharing a photo July 6 on X, she wrote, "Whoa!!!! #WhiteHouseBarbie with her favorite President of all time!!!"

Charlotte Knights 7, Norfolk Tides 6
Charlotte (51-46) had to battle from behind, but a pair of rehabbing big leaguers helped spark the comeback. The Tides grabbed an early 1-0 lead after the dreaded leadoff walk surrendered by David Sandlin came around to score in the first. However, the Knights’ cavalry broke through in the fourth with a three-run frame. Rikuu Nishida worked a free pass before Everson Pereira roped an RBI double. Austin Hays followed by launching a two-run homer to put Charlotte in front for good.
Norfolk tried to creep back in with a pair in the fifth, but Charlotte had a four-run answer. Andy Weber mashed a homer, Nolan Jones drove in another run, and suddenly it was 7-3. The Tides did their best to make it interesting late, nicking Tanner McDougal for one and then squeezing two more out of Garrett Schoenle in the ninth, but the comeback fell a run short. Sandlin, for his part, was stingy with hits but generous with walks, serving up three in four innings and missing out on the win. He fanned two.

LONDON (AP) — Taylor Fritz was three games into his Wimbledon quarterfinal against Alexander Zverev when his knee tendonitis started flaring up, and the American knew right away he was in trouble.
“I was just like panicking, ‘What am I going to do?’” the sixth-seeded Fritz said. “I just didn’t expect it at all.”
In the end, there was nothing he could do.
Zverev's serve and the pain in Fritz's knee were too much to overcome as the last American man left in the singles tournament lost 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 on No. 1 Court on Wednesday.
Fritz, who reached the 2024 U.S. Open final after beating Zverev in the quarterfinals, has struggled with knee tendonitis in the past. But he had no indication previously at Wimbledon that it might flare up again, aside from a bit of pain toward the end of his fourth-round win over Alexander Bublik.

It’s been almost a decade, but the Atlanta Falcons still aren’t living down the horrific memories of their 28-3 Super Bowl collapse against the New England Patriots. Just when you think there’s no possible way for the Falcons to catch a stray during the World Cup, Argentina vs. Egypt happens — in Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, no less.
Egypt legitimately looked like a team about to pull off the upset of the tournament up 2-0 with less than 30 minutes to go. Then, in the span of four minutes, Argentina roared back to life with two goals from Cristian Romero and Lionel Messi to even the score. It’s here the comparisons began.
The collapse was seemingly unstoppable. Egypt were reeling, clearly panicking from the back-to-back goals, then Enzo Fernandez drove the dagger in stoppage time to give Argentina a 3-2 comeback win. If there was ever time for a perfect social media post it was now, and we got one.
Two teams who wear red and black, both about to pull off a stunning upset that ***** ody saw coming, both with huge, seemingly insurmountable leads — both crumbling into dust. There’s only one thing left in a moment like this, and that’s to hear from someone with intimate knowledge of the legendary 28-3 collapse.
On the plus side Falcons fans, if Brady himself says Egypt’s loss in Atlanta was worse than y’alls then he might have exorcised a few demons? I guess that’s the only bright side for this one I can think of.

U.S. President Donald Trump described Nicki Minaj as "so hot" and a "fantastic person" at an event on Monday.
During the Rose Garden luncheon held at the White House in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the launch of Trump Accounts, the American leader singled out the Super Bass rapper for praise.
"We also have a woman that is so respected and so hot and so great and such a great friend of, I don't say conservative, I say of common sense," he gushed. "She's a fantastic person and she's a woman that's respected by everybody and she's got real talent: Nicki Minaj."
Trump then asked Minaj - who was wearing a pink Versace dress - to stand up in front of the crowd, explaining that the Anaconda star is "such a great person and respected by everybody".
But elsewhere in his speech, Trump appeared to mistake Minaj for Kelly Loeffler, administrator for the Small Business Administration.
"Nicki Minaj is so incredible. They call it small business, Nicki, but when you add it up, it's bigger than any bank in the world, probably, right?" the 80-year-old continued. "It's not small business, but she's done fantastically, and I appreciate it."

Limerick are back in the All-Ireland hurling final for the first time since 2023 as they edged out Clare 1-21 to 1-19 in a thriller at Croke Park.
John Kiely's side saw their five-in-a-row dream dashed at the same stage two years ago, and lost at the quarter-final stage last year, but there was no mistake this time around as they found the answers when Tony Kelly's goal from a 55th-minute penalty left them six back.
Perhaps Clare felt there could have been a greater punishment for Limerick goalkeeper Nickie Quaid, whose last-man challenge on Peter Duggan may have earned black instead of yellow, but Clare failed to add to their tally for the rest of the game.
Faced with adversity, Limerick held their nerve as they have done so in the past, with Aidan O'Connor's 70th minute goal proving the key moment of an absorbing contest.
With league and Munster ****** les already banked in 2026, the Treaty treble remains on course as they put the Banner to the sword, turning the tables from the counties' last meeting at this stage in 2013 when Clare prevailed on their way to that year's ****** le.

Nicki Thiim enjoyed a perfect weekend at the Norisring in Nuremberg: After the Dane claimed Aston Martin's first-ever DTM victory on Saturday, he followed it up on Sunday. Starting from pole position, the Comtoyou driver controlled the second race as well and secured another triumph.
"I'm incredibly proud," Thiim says happily on ProSieben, as he also leads the overall standings. "That was always the dream, to have the name back at the top. I think the last time was in 1992 or something. That was the dream as a child." Father Kurt Thiim was runner-up in the DTM back then, after even winning the ****** le in the 1986 season.
"Incredible that I never thought I would someday be the overall DTM leader," adds the Aston Martin driver. "So I'm just speechless right now. I'm still living in this dream of the whole weekend. It's simply unbelievable."
Although winner Thiim had to defend himself several times during the race against HRT Ford youngster Finn Wiebelhaus, the 20-year-old found no way past despite several attacks and attempts. Lucas Auer (Landgraf-Mercedes) completes the podium in third.
Arjun Maini (HRT-Ford) finishes fourth, followed by Jules Gounon (Winward-Mercedes) and Thierry Vermeulen in the Emil-Frey-Ferrari. Previous overall DTM leader Maro Engel (Winward-Mercedes) has a difficult race, but still finishes seventh after starting twelfth and has to hand the championship lead to Thiim.

Even a change to the Balance of Performance (BoP) to the disadvantage of Aston Martin cannot stop Nicki Thiim on his favorite track: The Danish Comtoyou pilot secured pole position for Sunday's race at the Norisring after also topping the charts on Saturday. He achieved this despite running in Qualifying Group B, which was out earlier this time and faced less grip on the track.
"What a beautiful, holy Sunday to be standing here again," a delighted Thiim told German TV partner ran.de. He is the first driver since Thomas Preining at the 2023 season finale in Hockenheim to take two poles in one weekend. "I am still speechless."
The fact that his car has 15 kilograms more ballast on board than on Saturday due to the BoP change - and that he will carry an additional 20 kilograms of success ballast in the race - has not escaped him. "Now I will be the fat kid at school, of course," he said with a grin. "I hope the guys out there don't drive too fast."
Thiim clocked a 48.583 and was 0.111 seconds faster than HRT Ford rookie Finn Wiebelhaus, who was fastest in Group A with a 48.694 and starts from second place due to the slower group time. An investigation regarding the obstruction of Winward Mercedes pilot Jules Gounon resulted in no consequences for him.
Wiebelhaus' performance is remarkable, as he is competing for the first time in his career on the Norisring, which is extremely challenging due to its ******* ps. "I touched a few walls, slightly scratched the rear right - but that is how it has to be," the Ford youngster told ran.de, showing his satisfaction.
