The FIA has pulled the press credentials of a journalist who called Charles Leclerc a sneaky expletive in a published column, and Formula One's governing body is not backing down. It's a bold move that raises real questions about where the line sits between sharp criticism and conduct unbecoming of the paddock.
Staying in Formula One, the driver market is taking shape for years to come. Lando Norris, the reigning world champion, is locked in at McLaren through two thousand thirty, and across the grid most seats are spoken for well into the late twenty twenties. The window for big moves is narrowing fast, and teams are playing a long game.
And over at Old Trafford, Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly set to take the Manchester United job, and the football world is watching closely. Inspired by the Ferguson era, Pochettino brings tactical ambition and man-management credibility, but United have chewed up and spat out good coaches before. The infrastructure has to match the vision, or history repeats itself.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
