- Active Aero: Movable front and rear wings replace DRS, with "Z-mode" for cornering downforce and "X-mode" for straight-line speed.
- Reduced Downforce/Drag: Aiming for 30% less downforce and 55% less drag for better racing.

- 50/50 Split: Balanced power between the V6 internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric power.
- Sustainable Fuel: 100% sustainable fuels will be used.
- Boosted Electric Power: Significantly more electrical power for the MGU-K (braking recovery).
- MGU-H Removed: Simplifies the engine and lowers costs for new manufacturers.

Brighton & Hove Albion have rejected a £50million bid from Liverpool for winger Yankuba Minteh.
The 22-year-old is currently recovering from surgery on a right leg injury sustained in a 3-0 friendly win at home to Roma earlier this month.
Minteh is expected to be out of action for another eight weeks, but sources with knowledge of the matter say he is keen on the potential move if the clubs can agree a fee.

The Scottish FA is reportedly eyeing Sebastien Pocognoli, the former head coach of Monaco, as the top contender to take over the managerial position for the Scotland national football team following Steve Clarke's departure.
The 39-year-old Belgian, who left Monaco at the end of last season, previously led Union Saint-Gilloise to a first league title in 90 years in 2024-25.
Pocognoli is one of several candidates to have been spoken to by Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell and Craig Mulholland, who was appointed as the association's chief football officer in May.
And it is thought an appointment could be imminent, with Scotland returning to action in the Nations League with a four-game block of fixtures, starting in Slovenia on 26 September.
Pocognoli spent time in England during his playing career, turning out for West Bromwich Albion and Brighton & Hove Albion, and earned 13 caps for Belgium.
He would become just the second foreign boss of the Scotland men's team, after German Berti Vogts.
He is said to favour an attacking 3-4-1-2 system which he himself has described as "a dominant one, with and without the ball. High pressing, counter-pressing, but also real mastery in possession".
"For me, players are artists," he added. "And for an artist to put on a good show, they must be comfortable mentally and physically."

Experience and Background:
- Former head coach of Monaco, a club with a strong reputation in European football.
- Known for his tactical knowledge and player development skills.
- Could bring a new vision and strategy to the national team.
- Opportunity to harness young talent and improve overall team dynamics.
- Excitement about the prospect of a new managerial approach.
- Curiosity about how his coaching style will translate to the national team.
Dylan
Can't say I've heard of him. Always wary of foreign managers taking over national teams but he has a fairly good CV.
Difficult job for whoever comes in, we've not got the quality in many key positions.

He has been confirmed now.
Likewise, not familiar with him but at least they are trying something new.
The worrying thing, looking at his managerial career, he has only stayed one year in each management position.

Strange one. Only 20 months' experience as a manager, and that included being sacked in June. A brave choice. Let's see what happens. Hopefully he does well.
A consortium led by Jeff Bezos has secured an option to acquire a controlling stake in the club. This potential move comes as part of an agreement with Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who currently owns the team.
The arrangement includes a mechanism that allows 1892 Holdings, the investment group associated with Bezos, to step in and take a majority ownership of the club. This could mark a significant shift in the club's management and direction, given Bezos's extensive resources and experience in leading large organisations.
The Amazon founder's investment in 1892 Holdings, a consortium headed up and managed by Amit Bhatia, comes via the K5 Sports fund.
And sources on both sides of the deal, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, have confirmed there is a mechanism that could see the consortium purchase a controlling stake in the club in the next 12 months.
Those sources stress, however, that the language around this element of the transaction does not constitute a commitment, so it is merely an option that could lead to further investment as opposed to something that is set in stone.
Bhatia, who previously co-owned Queens Park Rangers, is also joined in 1892 Holdings by the family office of Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and his wife Elaine, as well as the Mittal Family Trusts.
The former QPR director will take up the position of vice chairman at Liverpool and will be joined on the club's board by Elaine Saverin and Bryan Baum from K5 Sports. Bezos is not going to have a seat on the board.
As part of the deal, FSG will continue to be majority shareholders in Liverpool and are retaining operational control of the club, with sources confirming on Friday that there will be no change to the leadership or day-to-day running of the Merseyside club.
For supporters, this news raises a mix of excitement and curiosity about what changes might come with new ownership. Will there be increased investment in player acquisitions? How might the club's global brand evolve under Bezos's influence? These are just a few questions that fans might be pondering as they consider the implications of this potential transition.

The Seattle Seahawks are the Super Bowl Champions, and they are also up for sale.
The Seattle Seahawks were a long-shot champion this season, but they won't be next season. That's not to say the Seahawks can't win it all again, but they just won't be long shots if they do. Seattle opened as the favourite to win next year's Super Bowl on BetMGM. Seattle is currently +800 (8-to-1) to win a second straight title, implying a roughly 11 per cent chance of a repeat. That's a big gap from the 60-to-1 odds Seattle had at the start of this past season.
As for the other contenders, a familiar rival is right behind the Seahawks: the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are +900 (9-to-1) to win the Super Bowl. The Seahawks and Rams met in the NFC Championship Game, which was only decided by four points. All three meetings between the two NFC West powers were decided by one score.
The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are next up at +1200 (12-to-1). These two teams have been Super Bowl contenders for years thanks to MVP-winning quarterbacks, though both have fallen back a bit (especially Baltimore).
As long as the Bills still have Josh Allen, Buffalo will be among the main contenders. However, with a coaching change and a roster around him that needs some work, it's unclear whether Buffalo will finally break through and win its first Super Bowl.
Lamar Jackson should keep the Ravens in contention, but Derrick Henry is 32 years old with a lot of carries under his belt. The team will have to find Jackson more help to return to contention. Baltimore also underwent a coaching change.
All the teams that sacked their coaches have now found replacements, and all the teams have now entered the offseason and are preparing for the 2026 season.

The Atlanta Falcons are set to sign running back Bijan Robinson to a three-year contract extension that is poised to reset the running back market. This decision follows a brief period of negotiation where both parties were working towards a mutually beneficial agreement.
At just 24 years old, Robinson had an outstanding performance last season, leading the NFL with an impressive total of 2,298 all-purpose yards. His remarkable skills on the field have not only made him a standout player but also a key asset for the Falcons moving forward.
The deal makes Robinson the highest-paid running back in NFL history with the base value worth $22.25 million per year, and the extension includes $51 million in guaranteed money.
This contract extension signifies the team's commitment to Robinson and highlights their belief in his potential to continue making significant contributions to the franchise. As the running back market evolves, this move could set a new standard for future contracts in the league.

The Chicago Bears have officially announced that their search for a new stadium is now centred solely on Indiana. This decision comes after what the team described as "minimal" discussions with Illinois lawmakers regarding potential sites in their home state.
The franchise's leadership has expressed a clear commitment to exploring options in Indiana, signaling a significant shift in their strategy. This move could potentially reshape the landscape of professional football in the region, as the Bears look for a location that meets their needs for a modern facility.

The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly on the verge of signing former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold. This comes after a tumultuous period for Arnold, who was released by the Lions on June 29, just days following his arrest on serious charges including kidnapping and robbery.
Arnold, a first-round pick in the 2024 draft, has faced significant challenges off the field that have overshadowed his potential as a player. The Seahawks' decision to bring him on board raises questions about the team's approach to players with legal troubles and how they balance talent with character concerns.

Leicester City is officially up for sale. The club's Thai owners, King Power, who have been at the helm for 16 years, are looking to sell the club for a price exceeding £200 million.
King Power has played a significant role in Leicester's history, especially following their incredible Premier League title win in the 2015-2016 season, which remains one of the greatest underdog stories in sports.
The Foxes have had an eight-page sales booklet produced by a leading US investment bank to help offload the one-time Premier League title winners.
Citigroup lists the Foxes, its women's team, and other major assets - including the 32,000-seat King Power Stadium and its Seagrave training facility which was opened in 2020 and is valued at £121m - as well as OH Leuven, Leicester's Belgian sister club, as up for sale in a brochure titled 'Project Lineup'.
The document values the club's physical assets at more than £200m, though no specific sum has been attributed to the sale of its struggling teams.
The brochure speaks of "a rare opportunity to acquire a club with an excellent track record of winning promotions to higher divisions".
Leicester's successes, including the 5,000-1 Premier League title win of 2016 and the FA Cup triumph five years later, are well promoted in the brochure, while their place in League One, after back-to-back relegations from the top flight and the Championship, fail to get a mention.
The club's turnover, which Citigroup forecast to be more than £97m for the 2026 financial year are also part of the pitch, but the years of financial losses and the club's debts - which, as outlined in its 2025 accounts, include £103.6m in bank loans - are omitted.
In the years that the club yo-yoed between the Premier League and Championship, with two relegations from the top flight in three years between 2023 and 2025, the club lost more than £180m.
Despite the club's issues, Leicester City is being positioned for sale as one of only five clubs to have won all three major English trophies - the Premier League, the FA Cup and the League Cup - since 2000.

Qualifying - promoting performance
- Adjustments to energy management parameters, including a reduction in maximum permitted recharge from 8MJ to 7MJ, aimed at reducing excessive harvesting and encouraging more consistent flat-out driving. This change targets a maximum superclip duration reduced to approximately 2-4 seconds per lap.
- Peak superclip power increased to 350kW, previously being 250kW, further reducing the time spent recharging, and reducing driver workload on energy management. This will also be applied in Race conditions.
- The number of events where alternative lower energy limits may apply has been increased from 8 to 12 races, allowing greater adaptation to circuit characteristics.
Race - improved safety and consistency of performance- The maximum power available through the Boost in race conditions is now capped at +150kW (or the car's current power level at activation if higher) limiting sudden performance differentials.
- MGU-K deployment is maintained at 350kW in key acceleration zones (from corner exit to braking point, including overtaking zones) but will be limited to 250kW in other parts of the lap.
- These measures are designed to reduce excessive closing speeds while maintaining overtaking opportunities and overall performance characteristics.
Race starts - enhanced safety mechanisms- A new "low power start detection" system has been developed, capable of identifying cars with abnormally low acceleration shortly after clutch release.
- In such cases, an automatic MGU-K deployment will be triggered to ensure a minimum level of acceleration and mitigate start-related risks without introducing any sporting advantage.
- An associated visual warning system is being introduced, activating flashing lights (rear and lateral) on affected cars to alert following drivers.
- A reset of the energy counter at the start of the formation lap has also been implemented to correct a previously identified system inconsistency.
Wet conditions - improving safety and visibilityColton Herta is understood to be the leading candidate to replace the Finnish driver, although the American still needs enough points to secure an FIA Super Licence.
Cadillac are reportedly disappointed with Bottas' performances so far this season.
Meanwhile, Sergio Pérez is not considering leaving the project before 2028.
Verstappen's current contract expires at the end of 2028, but it is understood his management held talks with McLaren earlier this year over a switch for 2027. The new contract will see him stay at Red Bull until at least 2030.
