Great to see Fred Vasseur back in the F1 paddock today!

I don’t know what the average Times sports writer wage is, but it’s likely a darn sight more than what the average Spurs season ticket holder earns.

They’ve spent and suffered through utter dross produced on the pitch and via the boardroom.

They/we have every right to complain

V8s are coming back to F1 says FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem:

"It’s coming. Oh yes, it is coming. At the end of the day, it’s a matter of time.”

“In 2031, the FIA will have the power to do it, without any votes from the PUMs [power unit manufacturers]. That’s the regulations."

@cytrusf1 What team is he driving with?

[Lucas Di Grassi @LucasdiGrassi]

After a lifetime dedicated to racing, 2026 will mark my final season as a professional racing driver.

Not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a new chapter.

Motorsport has been my life for as long as I can remember. It gave me discipline and grit before I knew why I needed them, and purpose in moments when the road ahead was far from clear.

From the suburbs of São Paulo to Monaco, racing shaped my life in ways I could never have imagined. It changed me profoundly as a driver, as a person, as a father, and as a human being. I gave everything I had to this sport, and in return, it gave me a life beyond anything I could have dreamed of.

I am deeply grateful to my family, who supported me from day zero. Every sacrifice, every difficult decision, every moment away from home since I was 17 years old, every victory, and every defeat was carried together with them. Without their love, patience, and belief, none of this would have been possible. I have a wonderful wife and children who helped me make this decision.

A very special thank you to Formula E, where I have spent the last fourteen years surrounded by extraordinary people—people who started writing on napkins and created an amazing championship, and whom I now consider family. Formula E is my home, and my home is Formula E.

This decision comes with emotion, but also with peace. Every great race has a final lap, and I want mine to be driven with the same intensity, commitment, and love that brought me here.

I will give everything in my final races in 2026.

The future is bright, and I will share more news with you soon.

Di Grassi and da Costa revealed to me that Formula E drivers held a meeting with the FIA with a very positive outcome!

[Motorsport Week @MotorsportWeek]

The Formula E grid's letter to the FIA seems to have had the desired effect!

Anyone who thinks #FormulaE isn’t exiting, not real racing or isn’t worth watching, then Gen4 is going to prove you wrong

[Jack Oliver Smith @The_Front_Jack]

@ScarbsTech @Lew15H @FIAFormulaE @JaguarRacing See you there!

[Jack Oliver Smith @The_Front_Jack]

No.

In fact, his Premier League commentary brings one crumb of comfort I’m taking from a Tottenham relegation

Is Darren Fletcher the best football commentator???
