F1 heavyweight ‘supergroup’ linked to Alpine takeover Formula One needs ‘the buzz’, says Mercedes principal Toto Wolff has said he would welcome something of a Formula One supergroup returning to the sport in the form of Christian Horner, Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore potentially uniting to buy the Alpine team. When asked at the Dutch Grand Prix what he thought of the concept, albeit a somewhat unlikely proposition despite rumours persisting that Horner is interested in purchasing Alpine if he can obtain the substantial financial backing required, the Mercedes principal was all in favour.

Ruling staves off immediate crisis for UK government but risks fuelling backlash
You’d think an interview with a movie star’s wife ahead of her upcoming book about caring for him would be dreadful. Instead, it’s a poignant watch in which love shines through On paper, it looks dreadful. A Diane Sawyer interview with the second wife of a beloved actor who has a life-changing disease, timed to coincide with the launch of said wife’s book about her experiences as a carer. Pass the bucket, give me strength and have some dignity are just some of the instinctive responses. So it is with trepidation verging on dread that one approaches Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey – A Diane Sawyer Special.

Yes, Sawyer does not help. She is the doyenne of the sympathetic/emetic head tilt and master of the pained expression. Her furrowed brow invites us to imagine she is being forced at gunpoint to ask the intimate questions her producers and the lowest common denominator demand, and her self-penned scripts are inexcusable. “His quiet dream girl shared his working-class values though they were from wildly different backgrounds,” she intones softly over photos and footage of the film star and his soon-to-be fiancee, Emma Heming, from their early days together, “before the joyful ride began”.

Updates from the third round at Flushing Meadows Get in touch with Katy | Osaka hits back at Ostapenko Also getting going: Jiri Lehecka, the Czech 20th seed, against Belgium’s Raphael Collignon, the conqueror of Casper Ruud; and the all-French affair between Benjamin Bonzi and Arthur Rinderknech. On Sky, Tim Henman is backing the Brit, but reckons it’ll go to three sets . Marion Bartoli is also going with Raducanu. Big call. The head-to-head doesn’t help us much: ER has met ER only once before, back in 2022, though Rybakina did thrash Raducanu 6-0, 6-1. The pair have plenty of respect for each other and played doubles together last month in Washington DC. Continue reading...
