Why Alpine has reasons to be optimistic for 2026 after big F1 gamble
Having sacrificed 2025, Alpine has high hopes for 2026 but can the former title-winner pull itself off the foot of the F1 table?
2025 has been a hot mess for #Alpine but away from this year, there are a few reasons to be optimistic about the future.
Here's my long read for @planetf1com.bsky.social on why 2026 may just work out for the Anglo-French team.

Major dilemma facing Ben Stokes and England ahead of Ashes series Down Under
Ben Stokes' biggest challenge may well be how he manages his own overs in an England side that looks potentially fraile.
England have had a tendency to rely on Ben Stokes in big moments but as he heads to Australia as captain, he must avoid overplaying himself in search of answers.

The reason why Man City's FFP verdict will be a fine rather than relegation
Hopes of a banishment from football's top table seem more based in hope than reality with Manchester City still waiting for their verdict.
The latest rumours of an imminent Man City FFP verdict predict chaos but anyone hoping for anything more than a slap on the wrist is likely to be disappointed.
My piece for @football365.bsky.social on why Man City being relegated was never a realistic option.

What Alexander Isak agent's 24-word quote revealed about football's invisible enemies
If it was Isak's decision to strike or not, it does not matter for while he takes a public battering, football's biggest influences counts their millions.
Of the โฌ313.95m worth of talent that Universal Twenty Two represents, Alexander Isak is โฌ120m of it so could the promise of a sizeable payday be what really started a summer of sulking?

Why Nico Rosberg's bluntness makes him such a good F1 pundit
It may not win him many friends but Nico Rosberg's blunt commentary was a welcome change to the F1 broadcast.
If there was one person who came away with credit from Verstappen's crash into Rusell, it was Nico Rosberg.
The to-the-point pundit was a breath of fresh air in a #F1 broadcast ecosystem that is too eager to sit on the fence.
