Dear ST reader,
The race to the pinnacle of motor racing is, paradoxically, a slow and steady one for Christian Ho, as the 17-year-old sets his sights on becoming the first Singaporean driver to compete in Formula One.
Next, the Lion City Sailors sealed back-to-back Deloitte Women’s Premier League titles last Sunday after an emphatic 11-0 victory over Geylang International, extending their unbeaten run in the competition to 15 wins and a draw.
Finally, my colleague Rohit Brijnath finds inspiration every time South Africa’s rugby captain Siya Kolisi speaks. Born to hardship and hunger, he reminds us sport possesses a deeper value and a hardier glue.
See you again next week. For the latest news on Singapore sports, check out ST Sport on Instagram.
